Fair warning to viewers: the victorian era is only restricted to 1800s England. Not saying that other places had perfect hygiene, but big cities like London had the absolute worst condition. If you lived at the country side, it would be quite fine actually. Alot of upperclass people travelled to the country in the summer months when the smell and condition in the city were at its worst. So long story short, if living in victorian era England: live on the countryside or in a small village.

@Ooki Cooki "Where is the source of this? You’re just making up anti-white crap" This isn't "anti-white crap" it's facts. There are numerous documented accounts of Natives in the America's commenting on how bad the Europeans smelled. I've read quite a few books on the encounters between cultures and this is a very common and well known theme. Just goolge it.. in fact, here you go: “Bathing as you and I know it was very, very uncommon [among western Europeans] until the later part of the 18th century,” says W. Peter Ward, a professor emeritus of history at the University of British Columbia and author of the new book The Clean Body: A Modern History." "The colonists’ lack of hygiene was more than just a smelly inconvenience to the Native Americans they encountered. It also posed a very real danger. Unwashed colonists passed along microbes to which Native Americans had no prior exposure, and therefore no immunity." www.history.com/news/american-colonists-pilgrims-puritans-bathing www.smithsonianmag.com/history/native-intelligence-109314481/

The lead is encrusted with rust and lime from the water running through it so that after a few years almost none lead is spread to the water; only in countries with the harshest criteria for drinking water the limits for lead in drinking water aren't able to be kept when lead plumbing is used. Anyway, lead pipes can be real problematic when they have direct contact to some other metal-pipes like copper pipes; then they can rust quite massively due to an chemical corrosion process which I'm not able to explain in English.

Eggs and vinegar are very good for condition and dandruff, and are still recommended today to use. Listerine is still obviously used as a mouthwash and its also good for dandruff and kills bacteria. Milk is great to get some stains out of fabric. Chalk is still used in toothpaste today. Its really the sanitation and sewerage which were the main problems, and using military grade bandages for periods is sensible when you consider other options. Also BTW the video isn't exactly correct. I know that Victorians did care about hygiene, Victorian cooks boiled utensils, wore arm gaiters to protect sleeves from getting messy, and laundry rooms weekly washed with bleach, a mangle and a presser. People had regular baths, or sponge baths, in tin tubs, and disinfectants like Carbolic and Listerine were used.

I was raised by a grandmother who was born toward the end of the Victorian era, and her mother was born in 1873. So I obtained some pretty strict training in how to do everything from eating to going to the toilet to bathing. Both Listerine and Lysol were features of my grandparent's home. Honestly, though I loved my grandparents, I've no idea how my mother and her two sisters survived their upbringing without going mad. At home I had my own bathroom and would shower every day. At my grandparent's house it was literally once a week--and this after working outside on their farm in the heat and dirt. My parents were of the opinion that a little hardship would give me character but I frequently thought that if I had to visit my grandparents for one extra day past the time agreed, I would go mad.

As a biologist, I cannot appreciate the importance of sanitation systems enough. In the middle of the 19 century, a man called John Snow (yes, John Snow) investigated cholera outbreaks in London. He discovered that cholera is spread through unsanitary water and, after a while, cities started to build extensive sanitation systems which limited cholera outbreaks (I think Weird History also made a video about this a while ago). Unfortunately, each year there are still 1.3 million to 4.0 million cases of cholera, and up to 143 000 deaths worldwide (would really love to make a video about that)! Despite all the current crises, I hope that we could raise more awareness for this issue.

"Would I like to live in the Victorian era?"... Impeccable timing asking that question right after informing me that gonorrhea was cured with Listerine at that time!

History student here: A lot of these "facts" are extremely anecdotal pieces of evidence (without the actual sources cited, aside from some of the advertisement related ones, so I'm unsure where much of the evidence to support these claims come from) which don't necessarily properly characterize Victorian Era hygiene. When faced with claims that people of a certain time period were overall unhygienic, one should take that idea with a SERIOUS grain of salt. Whilst some of these things were true for some people (such as, again, anecdotally, washing ones hair with eggs or bleaching clothes with urine), they don't necessarily apply to the entire population of the time period- neither are all of these things necessarily problematic, such as the fact which mentions the use of military grade gauze for menstruation. People throughout the entirety of human history had a concept of personal hygiene, and took measures to ensure that their own perceptions of personal hygiene were being met. The Victorians did struggle with, as people in nearly every time period before them did as well, unscientific concepts of hygiene, cleanliness, and disease- which resulted in the use of things like lead, opium, and mercury to treat disease. However, by the 1870s, germ theory, which had been around since the 17th century (and really since antiquity, but the microscope was invented in 1590!), had begun to become a more popular concept amongst the scientific community. By the near end of the Victorian Era, it was almost entirely widely accepted, and regardless of miasma theory, many medical professionals DID popularize procedures such as frequent hand washing whilst practicing medicine which did, inadvertently, help to decrease infection and the spread of disease. And, by the late 19th century, medical licensing laws were put into place which required doctors to be licensed and trained in order to treat patients. Also in the 19th century did, as the video states, bathing became a more frequent event for many, though the absence of bathing previously did not mean that people did not make efforts to clean themselves. People tended to wash their "face, bits, and pits" with a water basin which was kept in their rooms, and did shave, use perfume, clean clothing, and switch out the undergarments known as "chemises" which were worn most closely to the skin, collecting dirt and sweat, such as modern day underwear, quite regularly. Frequent bathing was actually popularized way before the Victorian Era, when Enlightenment authors began writing about it in the 18th century. Soapmaking was also popularized by the 1780s, and by the Victorian Era, the use of soap in daily life was a widespread phenomenon, and (at least) weekly bathing became a common event for the vast majority of the population by the early 20th century. There was more to this, which got cut off but TL;DR: This video tells an overly broad and not necessarily entirely accurate piece of a bigger picture. For more reading, check out Germ Theory: Medical Pioneers in Infectious Diseases by Robert Gaynes, How to Be a Victorian: A Dawn-to-Dusk Guide to Victorian Life by Ruth Goodman, Cleansing the City: Sanitary Geographies in Victorian London by Michelle Allen, and The Sanitary Arts: Aesthetic Culture and the Victorian Cleanliness Campaigns by Eileen Cleere.

Also the egg part - even if it was common, it's really not bad at all. Eggs emulsify oil with water, so they are actually quite effective cleaning hair. Only difference to a soap(or shampoo) that uses micelles to do the same, is having to rub the egg into the hair a bit more than one does using shampoo because you physically have to emulsify the dirt with water.

I'm actually really curious to know about the 'weird history' behind menstruation... I know for some it's a bit of a taboo, but I think it would be really interesting to see how women handled it in the past.

The Victorians were _obsessed_ with hygene though, they had so many types of soap and disinfectant and they invented the phrase "cleanliness is next to Godliness." Also, just because they weren't bathing a lot doesn't mean they weren't _washing_ a lot. I think the issue was the poorer people had limited access to clean water. The middle class and upper class were as clean as we are today, the poor were probably fairly grim, a bit like the homeless today. It wasn't they didn't care about being clean, it was that keeping clean was very difficult.

I used a lot of the hair "hacks" when I was young. The odor of vinegar doesn't stick around, and if someone is stuck it's worth the try.

So much so, that they changed their undergarments multiple times a day to avoid soiling their clothes with sweat. And don't make the mistake of thinking that these people were just stupid. They were no less intelligent than we are, today. They were doing the very best they could with what technology they had. They realized the problems they had, and they found ways to overcome them. I can also provide anecdotal support for their methods, as I have tried many of them several times and found them to be quite satisfactory.

Susse Kind eggs are indeed a great protein mask for hair. If the hair lacks protein its often dull, tangly and fragile. It’s actually really popular on natural and long hair care forums! I think their hair care was one of the very few good things of the Victorians, since they practiced water only washes, vinegar rinses, oiling their hair and natural protein treatments. All of these things are great for hair and while it probably smelled terrible the Victorian women were known for their incredibly long and healthy hair c:

@@sonja6207 Hair literally is protein. It wouldn't be missing protein. The oil in the mayo just moisturizes the rough dry follicle. The beer is cleansing with the bubbles. Thinning hair can be malnutrition, fungal sebborhea( a form of dandruff) or too much tight up-do styles actually ripping out hair. The beer and or mayo couldn't hurt. But it wouldnt feel like it does these days.

Ironic thing is that many European, North African and Asian cities had plumbing and public bath houses 1000-2000 years earlier.

I freaking love this channel.

Victorian era was pretty horrifying because of rapid progress in science, machinery, chemistry and stuff. But fields of modern science were basically being founded at that stage so there were *many* products that were really dangerous.

I love how passive aggressive the narrator sounded 😂

At least the Victorians were just clever enough not to invent lead based tampons.

Cleaning clothes with urine was done by the Saxons, it’s only recently we’ve stopped using it, although urea is still used in many cleansing and personal care products.

Hi! Luv ur vids, Can you please do the History of France from 1870s-1910s plz

Given that the Victoria era spanned from 1837-1901, I think this video makes a lot of sweeping generalizations that don't apply to the latter part of the era (just like things weren't the same in 2000 as they were in 1937). Yes, in 1837 we didn't really know about germs or the spread of disease, but by the end of the Victorian era, we did. And I think they got it backwards re indoor plumbing -- by 1900, quite a few people had tubs inside their houses, but the toilet would have been outside. And people (at least middle and upper-class people ) certainly DID bathe, usually a full bath once a week, or more often if they had indoor tubs. This is where the term "the great unwashed" came from, because for the first time you could SMELL the difference between the upper and lower classes, the latter of which were slower to catch onto bathing regularly.
