Constant bathing is really a new thing that has only been around for about 50 years. Like most folks these days, I usually take a shower in the morning before work and another one in the evening when I get home. But my grandma, who is 84, talks about when she was growing up, she said it was highly uncommon to bath more than once a week (usually Saturday night for church on Sunday). Although she did say that they would always fill a wash basin and "clean up" every evening, so it's not like they weren't doing anything through the rest of the week.

Due to the cost of electricity (heating the water) all of us but my dad took a bath once a week, Saturday night. My little sisters were first, then me, then mom then dad. Then dad would change the water and take another bath. Dad was the only one to bathe during the week, but he was a field hand and got super dirty.

My mom grew up in a house without running water. This was back in the 50’s and 60’s. They took baths once or twice a week. They did wash up everyday. She has five siblings. I bet my grandma went through quite the ordeal heating water up to bathe that many kids. They did later on install plumbing into the house. But after that, they bulldozed the house down and it’s gone. They lived on a farm with my great grandparents across the driveway. They had plumbing. But then I also remember that house was heated by wood burning stove. When I was a kid they had a furnace put in. But the old stove sat in the kitchen and never was taken out. It’s actually been more recent everybody got hooked up to gas, water, and electricity. Out in the country people didn’t have the money to hook up and did as they could.

I read some journal entries from a noblewoman in Versailles who mentioned wiping off with vinegar and a sponge, rather than a full bath. The astringency of vinegar would help remove body oils and smell, making it a good choice in a time where water was labor intensive. And a lot of early baths weren't full submersion baths, like modern swimming pools, but steam baths, since again, this took less water.

The French were particularly smelly at that time. Part of it was because of major faults in designing the Versailles palace. There weren't enough bathrooms, so the milords and miladies used staircases. Moreover, the source of water for the palace was contaminated, so everyone avoided using it. But even before Versaille was built, Catherine de Medici was horrified when she came to France from Italy in 1533. Italians bathed regularly. The good that came from all this: French perfume is the best in the world.

Q: Did medieval people bathe? A: Spork.

@Wombat1916

4 жыл бұрын

There was a BBC series on how medieval people lived - like drinking long ale instead of drinking the lethal water; how people trying to bathe easily drowned falling into ponds still wearing the heavy clothing they wore because nudity was b--a--d and others I cannot now remember, apart from the bit later where the 19th c. born again Christians stopped people from drinking long ale, instead making them drink tea! As a result they lacked the vitamins and minerals that kept them reasonably healthy and the health level dropped. Thanks!

I work at a car dealership and we had a customer come in recently that stunk so badly that the waiting room had to be ventilated while they were there. You could smell them 7-10 feet away. After leaving the whole waiting room had to be sanitized and cleaned. The worst smelling people I’ve ever been around

Simon , always a great presentation

Personal experience. Several years ago I had a skin condition that my doctor, having run many test, couldn't diagnose. One possibility suggested was one of many possible allergic reactions, so I cut down bathing to about one bath a month and stopped using soap altogether. I did not have unpleasant body odour and felt perfectly clean.

Unless I smell or am sweaty I don't shower. My skin is dry, sensitive and my hair is dry too. I don't use products with sulfate b/c of this. People think this is weird for some reason. It is actually not good for your skin to bathe super often and with certain products because it damages thenatural skin barrier and microbiome that protects us.

Apparently, the Vikings were the cleanest at the time, known to be taking bath with hot springs and grooming themselves quite regularly

One of these days I'm going to shock the shight out of friends & family when playing trivia pursuit with all the knowledge I've received from all your videos!!!

Sometimes I'd like to smash the Like button several times the video is that good, all of the are interesting and informative. I'm a big fan.

I know it is a bonus fact but how the spork and the utensils we use came about sounds like an interesting topic.

Truth in a nutshell: common people of those times did not bath regularly, they clean the most odorous areas and there hands and face when they got dirty. They were clean clothes daily. When they began to smell people visited bathhouses(not the fun ones) to cleanse. This was not a daily or regular activity, the idea of germs and dirt was foriegn and had not been discovered at that time.

Simon... Your voice is like David attenborough.. I could listen to it all day and fall asleep to it

i remember when i was growing up we went to a medieval museum in ireland it was an immersive type experience and there was a really vivid smell in the place

I always took long hot showers for granted....until I became a mother. A very interesting episode! Thank you!

I love the channel and the info provided, which is why I find the comments starting at 14:20 really... bizarre. It cites "The Book of Samuel" (Not specifying 1st or 2nd Samuel, as is generally standard), Chapter 2, verse 13 as proof that priests' assistants would commonly use a three-pronged fleshook in the performance of their duties. It completely ignores the context from the rest of the chapter that the forks were used by corrupt priests (specifically, the sons of Eli) to take more than their fair share of food from the people's sacrificial offerings. Not only does this context not support the channel's narrative that Christians in the medieval period were ignoring Scripture in their condemnation of the fork, but it shows an extraordinary failure of scholarship on the part of those that researched this episode. I mean, I think that the condemnation of the fork was idiotic, too, but damn, someone on your research team is clearly phoning it in.

Another great video, thanks guys.

Great vid guys. Querry.......what about your touch on people's back then disposal of waste water, fecal material out of their flats? How prevalent was this, to what extent? Thanks, and thanks to all you that may help me understand!

If you want to learn more about life in Europe's Medieval period, there are 2 really good experimental archeology documentaries here on KZread that looks at how people lived in the 1300s and 1500s. The 1300s series is called Secrets of Castle and looks at the life in work camps built around castles and the techniques used to build castles (kzread.info/head/PLjgZr0v9DXyKmVKVANS17e3Xn-gSHu9SG). The other is called Tudor Monastery Farm and looks at the life of the tenant farmers of the Monastery farms in the 1500s (kzread.info/head/PLjgZr0v9DXyK9Cc8PG0ZhDt2i2eQ_PEvg). Both series are hosted by a domestic historian and 2 archeologists who dress in period clothes and live out the daily tasks and local practices as closely as possible in modern times.

Like the old saying goes: " Didn't have a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of". Describing the poor homeless people.

Thank you for this one! Trying to explain that for the most part people in the past where just like people now. The hold on bathing way the facilities (hot water in pipes and huge bath tub). People don't like to be dirty or stinky if they have options.

Thank you for your channel.

Thank you so much for your videos; I love listening to your voice Simon, even when you mispronounce words! And you always look like you smell very nice :) Y'all are all very talented at what you do, please keep up the good work! Now for everybody else: I feel the need to go on a little rant. I hate having an excellent sense of smell. I've noticed a drastic increase in the number of smelly people over the years. I work in a grocery store, and my number one pet peeve at work is stinky customers. I understand that bathing or not is usually the individual's choice, but it is a choice that affects the people they come into contact with. It just seems so inconsiderate, similar to choosing to smoke a cigarette around non-smokers and then blowing the smoke in their faces. I'm talking about odors so strong that they leave a trail of stench behind them, that lingers long after they have left. Odors that are so bad, they make me gag...and I am not talking about the homeless or the mentally ill. These are people who have the resources to bathe, but choose not to, for whatever reason. And when you don't bathe, the smell stays embedded in your clothes, even after you wash them--it just adds to the stink. Also, I understand the concern for the environment and using the reusable cloth grocery bags, but please take into account that they need to be washed once in a while. You may be nose-blind to your smelly cloth bags, but others are not, especially the poor soul bagging your groceries for you. And people who smoke pot and then go grocery shopping. That smell is so bad, it's like there's a skunk following them...it's so nasty. Ok, I feel a lot better now!

I'm grossed out by bathing because of the sensation of the water, the potential of germs in the bath, and the wetness of getting out of the bath. It's a human stew. I also hate showers for much the same reasons. I'm autistic and its difficult to get over. I do shower every other day but I hate it so much.
