@littleblossomdarling: Replying to @Words.from.the.vent do you think you could go without a full shower or bath? i don’t think i could now- but if the victorian way was the only way i knew, than im sure i’d be fine. #historytok #victorian #hygiene
As someone who lived off of sponge baths during a natrual disaster, they ABSOLUTELY stunk. A sponge bath just isn't the same as a full wash unfortunately

In U.S. as recently as less than 100 years ago, baths were commonly only once a week. Families often shared bath water. Baths were a lot of work and use of energy.

Why do you use the term victorian to talk about American history?

My dad was born in 1919 in Wheeling, WV in a relatively well-off family. He said that they took sponge baths daily & a regular bath weekly. He said that he didn’t notice people smelling bad, either.

I feel like people also forget that our diet greatly effects our smell n hygiene. A lot more today can have greater effect on us than the past

super interesting! there’s a book by Victoria Kelley called “Soap and Water” about this topic, especially how it connects to morality, class and race— would recommend :))

I read Ruth Goodman's book on Victorian daily life and a lot of this was mentioned. Very interesting!

How did people with curls keep hair clean? If i were to brush mine dry it would immediately become a horrible poofy mess.
