So I'm the kind of person who if I have an itch, I'm gonna scratch it. I have used corners in public to scratch my back, I have scratched my backside in public by wiggling in a chair, if my arm itches to the point that nails don't help I grab my knife from my pocket, flip open the blade and scratch away, legs itch I'll scratch through my pants or roll up the leg and scratch away. Now my problem is that i have found that this really isn't the most feminine thing to do. Over time i have learned more feminine ways to scratch such as using one leg to scratch the other, or trying my best to use my nails to scratch my itch.
I'm wondering if ya'll have any suggestions for the other random itches that happen other then simply ignoring it and hoping it goes away. Especially because one simply can slip her hand up or down her shirt to scratch an itchy boob, or if it's time to shave you really can't scratch a random itch down south, and scratching your backside or even your back on a corner in public really looks bad.
thanks for yalls feedback.

Sorry to tell you what you don't want to hear, but I think I'd try to avoid scratching as much as possible. I have something of that problem myself. If it's my arm or my head, I'll probably do it, without being too "aggressive" about it. But anywhere else I'll think long and hard before I do it. Fact is (at least my experience tells me so) if you ignore an itch, it almost always does go away. I quite often get itches on my face, but out of respect for my make-up I ignore them and they always, always, always go away.
Another problem I've always had is nose-blowing. Again out of respect for my make-up I keep this to an absolute minimum which means most days no blows at all. (I haven't had a cold for a long time so I can't tell you what I do when I do have one.)

I can't imagine somebody being able to do that. Maybe your ass but not your boob.

Ignore it and hope it goes away. It will eventually. By all means scratch if it is on your arms or you face or stomach and so on. But other places, women just do not scratch too much in public. Like one place in particular. :o Don't bring a knife out to scratch by all means. If it's that bad, go to the bathroom and scratch away. The bad thing about legs that are hairless in shorts or skirts, if you scratch you are gonna have red marks that might take a while to disappear. So tough it out.
Guys can't seem to resist and in the itching department women are a lot stronger than guys at resisting the urge to scratch. How many guys I see scratching or grabbing and trying to relieve the crotch itch. Ughhh.
Try rubbing instead of scratching. moisturizer helps too :)
Reading this post suddenly made me itchy all over!! But yeah, moisturiser is a good preemptive measure. I used to have a really itchy right forearms and was always scratching it, after using moisturiser daily for a month it's no longer a problem.
