especially since it also says that a lady MUST attend all social events... like, if I'm bleeding and I cannot wear anything to protect or soak up the blood, like hell would I go to a ball or take a garden stroll for a whole week until it's well and truly over!!!
1 there were undergarments wherever you heard that was lying. They turned into knickers and tights. In fact regency undergarments were very similar in look to modern day knickers. 2 when on one’s period you would be permitted to abstain from social gatherings because of illness. They also had rudimentary pads made of moss or if you were fancy cotton and linen. They didn’t just bleed everywhere.
@1986Rena We got a sense of it on Downton Abbey, though it was also glamorized due to the servants being treated very well. About the most gritty of the servants stories on Downton was Edith (iicr her name) where she was let go on account of being intimate with a man (during work hours, at that) and she also wasn't a very good worker. She wanted more than a servants life. Instead, she ended up working the streets and being a single mom....which wasn't exactly like it is today. She lived in what appeared to be a hut with dirt floors. Not dirty floors; the floors *were* dirt. And she was doing SW in a very small community, just standing outside soliciting herself. We've come a long way in discretion; everyone knew the poor girls business and were not too kind about it or towards her. But even that storyline and glimpse into her life after working at Downton was given the rosy treatment for TV. Some servants were made single mother's by the men who employed them, and they weren't exactly impregnated by their own free will (if you catch my YT-friendly drift) while others were physically harmed in other ways. The Varley's of Bridgerton and servants of Downton Abbey have it good.
My grandmother was born in 1894 and she would ignore and not speak to people she was not happy with. Women would put a piece of cloth between their legs and attach it to their bloomers to prevent the blood of their period from staining their clothes. The bloomer being crotchless was to make it easier to go to the bathroom given all of the extra layers of clothing they wore.
05:30 so the free bleeding was more common for lower class and women in rural areas. They would wear a heavier petticoat to protect the other clothing layer's. This fell out of practice gradually during the 1800s. For the non free bleeders, they generally used sanitation belts/bandages. We know that they were doing this even in the 18th c before the Regancy Era. It was essentially a fabric just wrapped around the area. (Thus being "on the rag" ) later this became an actual belt contraption. There was also an early versions of the tampon for those that were married. Also pre industrial women got their 1st period later in life. It was closer to 17 in the 1800s and they in general had significantly less throughout their life and it was a lighter flow. Missing a period was not uncommon then, it could be things like "green sickness". They averaged about 150 periods in their lifetime (partly thanks to multiple pregnancies) where the modern woman averages 450.
Whenever women romanticize this period in time and wish they could go back, I cringe. Your life IF you were wealthy, was filled with endless days of forced socialization, numerous clothing changes, instructions on "how to be a lady OR ELSE!," and being courted IF you were lucky, by men, you probably didn't want to marry anyway accept if it meant finally being able to free yourself from the rigors of the marriage market...but then came your endless life of having babies to make heirs and being bored before you became the same "mama" that you loathed when you were young doing that for your daughters.
@@mahtra.2372 I never said the people of this time period were stupid. My comment is about "modern women" who romanticize this era and make it seem so wonderful because, "look pretty dresses, men swooning," but don't realize that women had no land, no inheritance, no rights to vote, no ability to work, no freedom to move about without another woman or their husbands and most if they had to wear these dresses everyday, and change out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, walking about, balls, would actually hate it. This was not an easy time period for women, and it only got worse if you had no wealth to your name, you became a young widow, or you had no male heirs.
I just binged watched Bridgerton this past weekend and absolutely love the show. I would describe myself as a Jane Austen fan who enjoys watching films such as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility again and again. I often romanticize this time period and will say I was born in the wrong era. But in my heart and soul, I am glad I wasn't born in that era. I'm too bull-headed and opinionated to have survived those times. I think I would have been the Norma Rae, Rosie Riveter, and the Women's Movement ladies of the time. lol
@@lady.leo12 I think it was actually the movie, Jane, was it, with Anne Hathaway, where there is a scene of her just enjoying some fresh air by herself and she's "confronted" by a man, and he's like, "where is your escort, you shouldn't be out here by yourself" and it was daytime. Like, the thought of not even having the freedom to "take in the air" alone with your thoughts or being seen with a man who was not related to you alone, could cause scandal is like...no, this wouldn't be fun. Can't do it. Women have freedoms that we should appreciate, and rights we should use, because there are so many even now, that had or have none.
That straight wooden ruler was actually called a “Busk”, and at that type of stays (still called that way) was No boned at all, sometimes was cordered but that stability was provided by the busk, also Tight lacing was not a fashion, and existed short and full stays, variating person by person. Short stays are sometimes shorter than the rib cage, and it’s very similar like a top or bra of today. At long stays, the busk also provided stability, because with none boning at it, the pressure of the dress and body needs to end at some point and the busk helped to recibe it and distribute.
@@annazann7236 some fashion historians call these scenes 'corset porn' as it is completely meant for the audience and perpetuate this idea that corsets were horrible instead of being actual historically accurate
while it is highly looked down upon, it does happen, look at Edwina and Kate's mother, she married a clerk, yet society was able to accept them back after a period. I feel like Eloise might end up with Theo, but the possibility of her ending up with Sir Philip Crane is there too, however the introduction of the Sharma mother marrying beneath her/for love, even Kate herself, I hate to say but kates statues is equal to theo's, since her bio mother and father were low class statues, the only reason shes in this upper class society is because of her half sisters mother, so yes if Eloise wanted to marry beneath her/for love, I see her bother making a fuss but his wife making him see reason, which will allow Eloise to make her own choice, it's not like her dowry wouldn't support them, and Theo is young, and with her help, could achieve his ambitions.
Sorry but I really love dresses and I just wanted to say this. Why the fuck are they wearing corsets in the show. They should be wearing short stays which look exactly the same as sports bras they shouldn’t be in corsets. Corsets are from the Jacobean and Victorian period which was AFTER the regency era. Also corsets would have been made to fit and therefore shouldn’t be tight the only time they were tight was if you couldn’t afford to buy or make a new one. Same with short stay. The only reason corsets are deemed evil is because Victorian men were so fearful of women feeling comfortable in their way of dress that they did a smear campaign for them alongside pneumonia tops/ blouses. Look it up.
@@kikidevine694 Many of the ones with the "best fit" were padded out to give the in vogue silhouette of the time. it was one of the ways to give the illusion of a tiny waist without tight lacing.
I understand better why the UK press so hated Meghan Markle. She kept breaking rules. Plus, the membets of the aristocracy must have been so jealous of her.
The young women were also manipulated and bullied by older married women who had higher rank than young single ladies. Which caused them even more stress while being expected to follow all these strict etiquette rules. Poor penny had no prospects, her card was always empty because no one wished to dance with her, also penny being alone with Colin was like siblings because they had grown up together. Poor little penny, everyone cheered when she got her HEA
It's having no chairs at the balls that I would have found rather challenging ; I love to sit and always wondered how long people had to stay at these balls.
being forced to be social to find a husband is wild… i’m as introvert and socially awkward as they come yet my boyfriend is the exact opposite ✨scandal✨
During those times you would have never met any guys being sheltered and the coming out would be the first and only chance of being around guy so only chance at husband
They did have a way to not fully free bleed. They would wrap a strip of fabric around their hips and wear a muslin napkin looped over the front and back. This they would clean and boil so it could be reused. 😊
The comment about the "tight corsets" is incorrect. During the Regency period, women wore stays. Stays were similar in length to our current day longline bra and weren't boned or only barely and softly. They didn't need a corset as their dresses had an empire waist. It was about a decade after the Regency period that the corsets we think of came into fashion. And those were definitely not as hellish as is often portrayed either. They were made to measure & fully formed to the body, tight-lacing was the exception rather than the norm (certainly not commonplace, not even amonst the nobility), and the majority of women wore them all day and worked in them. Also incorrect: free bleeding on their dresses. Nope! In the period Bridgerton is about, women (certainly in the higher classes) wore a type of belt - similar to a thong - that held a thick piece of cloth. Those pieces of cloth were washed out. Before the Regency period women wore an extra thick underskirt (called petticoat) on which they could bled without their dresses being in danger.
When you talked about women not making first introduction, shouldve shown the scene when Daphne first bumps in to Simon trying to avoid Burbrook. She was polite until he accused her of trying to being sent his way by her mama. Then she is like, whats your name, mr important? Then Anthony swoops in.
Can someone tell me why Anthony was pursuing Edwina rather than Kate since Kate was eligible and the elder sister. Wouldn’t she be the obvious one to be pursed?
She was too old by bridgerton standards and she herself wasn't interested in the beginning. The queen also declared edwina as the season's diamond so all suitors wanted her, that's why Anthony went after her
In the book, Anthony comprised Kate and their mothers caught them. So Anthony was pretty much had no choice but to marry Kate or she would have been ruined.
Yeah, huge contradictions. but guess you avoid sitting down and only having a conversation with a man if you're in a group never one on one. So, if your enjoy a man's company but your friend walks away you likely have to excuse yourself and follow lady friends. makes it difficult to truly get to know them or to be able to choose who you like suiters or throw on you and you must smile be polite and take what others tell you should base of status. Women really had no rights to opinions always expected to please
There actually were ways for women to deal with periods in the Regency era; they were just more cumbersome to use than what today's women have. One common option was a fabric belt that had a muslin, linen, or other material attached to both front and back making a makeshift pad that could be boiled and washed. Women of that era did not free bleed onto their clothing. They also did not wear underwear (as seen in several sources including paintings) at all that was a Victorian thing, though you did get the crotch less nature of the drawers correct. Also, women were allowed not to dance at a ball, in fact the actual rule was that if a woman refused a dance with one gentleman, then she could not dance for the rest of the night. Curtsies are not for entering or exiting a location, proposals could be private but women did need chaperones, and gossip was literally everywhere it's how reputations were ruined.
@@boppingyt I am shocked to say that Hyacinth's story might become my favorite because it's adding a bit of extra intrigue/storyline the others lacked. I also loved Benedict's story but it's hard to say I always like each one better than the last!
To appeal to a wider audience. I don't think it was the norm in that era for different ethnicities to pair up. They've sacrificed historical accuracy for political correctness.
Agreed, it's sad how they pretended. But this century it's politically correct, also it attracts a wider audience which means it's able to make more money. Keeps everyone happy.
Sometimes I think it might be nice to be "introduced" into "society", going in on your own, with no backup or friends to show you the "rules"......eww, free bleeding on your clothes??! That sounds like punishment for EVERYONE
This is a fantastic show. It depicts an era in a situation that people would have love to see. It is also a 2024 show and helps younger people to also dream of "the good sides" of this kind of life, to be allowed to dream :) I think it's a powerfull tool and the show itself is very nice to watch no matter the ethnicities.
Well, male upbringing was hardly any better! Corporal punishment was hardly fun. Men certainly had more freedom, but they also, like women had to follow social norms!
@@sarahthomas8670 Men appeared to have more freedom but the rule's of society were harsh on everyone but only young men could got out to the pleasure gardens and bar at night to cope with it.
Not for the forcing to find a husband but can you imagine the majority of todays youth following those rules no for sure they wouldn’t be able to become of a lot of self entitlement and attitude they have. I must admit to loving the gowns though I don’t think I would liked having to wear to of the beautiful gowns without the drawers
I just read the Bridgerton novel about Eloise, and I do not wish for the series to match her with Theo, but rather the man who we got introduced to in season 1 and briefly shown in season 2 (wouldn’t want to spoil if you havent read it) I love their story so much, it’s somehow so believable 🫶🏻
I actually completely disagree. I hate Eloise and sit Thomas’s dynamic and much prefer the relationship between Theo and Eloise. Sir Thomas is not the one for her and her book was the worst of all of them.
@@bmzmuffin you are entitled to your opinion, and I believe somehow the creators of the Bridgerton would know what the best way to convey a story and how to make us audience fall in love with whomever Eloise would end up with ☺️ At this point I still need convincing if Theo would be her OTP, and as a work of fiction where the characters are adapted not exactly the same according to books, everything’s possible
the period thing is crazy. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to not have any underwear or any period products whatsoever
I could never
Isn’t there a risk that they would drip on their shoes?

Great information. Some rules were harsh, but it would be wonderful to reinforce such guidelines today. 14:38
Yeah, Im waaaaaay too modern of a woman to go back in time. These rules suck
Sometimes I think it might be nice to be "introduced" into "society", going in on your own, with no backup or friends to show you the "rules"......eww, free bleeding on your clothes??! That sounds like punishment for EVERYONE
There were African Dukes in England? I dont think so.
This is a fantastic show. It depicts an era in a situation that people would have love to see. It is also a 2024 show and helps younger people to also dream of "the good sides" of this kind of life, to be allowed to dream :) I think it's a powerfull tool and the show itself is very nice to watch no matter the ethnicities.
Not dukes, but yes, there were a few, wealthy and with rights to vote even.
A lot of these rules should still be applied in today living. Oh, how society has fallen.
You’re disgusting
This video is too weird. The Regency Era was an actual thing, Bridgeton is not. It is completely fictional.
Never heard of a bit of escapism then?
It’s not completely fictional though, it does show many historically accurate elements.
You’re weird
Well, male upbringing was hardly any better! Corporal punishment was hardly fun. Men certainly had more freedom, but they also, like women had to follow social norms!
You just said it… they had way more freedom. And more privilege. Don’t make about them lol
@sarahthomas8670 I don't make it about them. I just stating facts! Because it's not a competition about who had it worse!
Every child got corporal punishment it was very common. Upper Class Women could not wear knitters because only lower class women wore knitters.
@@sarahthomas8670 Men appeared to have more freedom but the rule's of society were harsh on everyone but only young men could got out to the pleasure gardens and bar at night to cope with it.
so strange it was not lady like to wear UNDERWEAR
Not for the forcing to find a husband but can you imagine the majority of todays youth following those rules no for sure they wouldn’t be able to become of a lot of self entitlement and attitude they have. I must admit to loving the gowns though I don’t think I would liked having to wear to of the beautiful gowns without the drawers
Sound videonya jelek, terlalu kecil volumenya tapi nanti mendadak jadi keras
goddamn.
Free bleeding is inaccurate
No kidding..women were just chattels.
And what about the men 😒
Go find a video about men instead of asking about them on a video about women.
They had no rules. They made the rules
They made rules to excuse their lust and egos
Such stuffy rules. LOL
Ouch
Looks like a woke fantasy.
I just read the Bridgerton novel about Eloise, and I do not wish for the series to match her with Theo, but rather the man who we got introduced to in season 1 and briefly shown in season 2 (wouldn’t want to spoil if you havent read it) I love their story so much, it’s somehow so believable 🫶🏻
You mean Marina's husband?
I actually completely disagree. I hate Eloise and sit Thomas’s dynamic and much prefer the relationship between Theo and Eloise. Sir Thomas is not the one for her and her book was the worst of all of them.
@@bmzmuffin you are entitled to your opinion, and I believe somehow the creators of the Bridgerton would know what the best way to convey a story and how to make us audience fall in love with whomever Eloise would end up with ☺️ At this point I still need convincing if Theo would be her OTP, and as a work of fiction where the characters are adapted not exactly the same according to books, everything’s possible
