What French Revolution Hygiene Was Like
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- Today, we think of 1700s-era France as a period of unwashed and unparalleled squalor. While this is partially a misconception, it does contain some truth. During the 18th century, people's attitudes towards personal hygiene were laxer than they are today, for a variety of reasons.
In a world without the hundreds of modern conveniences we take for granted, personal hygiene was expensive and logistically difficult to maintain. Besides that, experts of the time believed that being too clean was unhealthy. Towards the end of the century, medical and scientific advances showed the benefits of cleanliness, and hygiene was gradually understood to be beneficial. Despite this, cleanliness was still a luxury reserved for the elite.

@Lawtrina Kerkula wtf too many essay
@Lawtrina Kerkula wow long list but confirmed what I already knew
Lawtrina Kerkula dopehead
@@mike04574 ~Thank you
@Lawtrina Kerkula ~You can't just go around accusing ppl of horrific crimes like that, without any actual evidence.. Not saying all those ppl are innocent, bc they are not. But you cant just go around throwing out any bullshit you want. Well, you can, but it makes You look crazy
“Bathing became a political statement” god don’t give America any ideas
Jalyn lol
Exactly
😁😁
HAHAHAHA
Lol I can just imagine a white haired wrinkled guy on Fox news being like "Own the libtards by shitting yourself"
This whole century smells like a middle school
LOL 😂
@Lawtrina Kerkula
Keep pasting this comment on as many videos as possible.

Oh man! Middle Schools smell terrible!
@Lawtrina Kerkula ?? DM plz
Nobility had worse dental health than the lower classes, because they could afford all the teeth rotting sweets, refined bread, etc. Peasants ate healthier.
Moderation doesnt equal health.
But true
@@FeedMeSalt Moderation? That's what nobility had absolutely none of, while peasants literally couldn't afford anything that would rot their teeth. They ate vegetable stews, whole grain bread, things like that.
@@incometax6526 yea, I think ur right. Had to read that twice lol
@@incometax6526 Nope, physical work still takes its toll, but they definitely ate better. Unprocessed produce in general is always more healthier than processed food, and processing food made it expensive... very, expensive.
@@dominic.h.3363 But eating the way the nobles did, plus their fashion, did take a toil.
I like how the guy isn't too serious
I like you 💗
I like it 2, and that makes it more interesting to hear the history😍❤
Me too
Why take it seriously when it's going to happen over and over again because humans are too stupid to fix this shit
Yeah I love this narrator
I'd like to hear about what the history of Amish Hygiene was & is like today
Pretty much identical I guess.
Probably better than yours...
@@67lilbear can confirm it's likely not.
Grew up around them.
Boy I got story's.
@@FeedMeSalt please do share when you have time
@@FeedMeSalt share!!!
This makes absolutely no sense: "they were too poor to have a litre of clean water" yet they were somehow able to "douse themselves with expensive perfume."
I would really like to know the sources for this video because some of it seems like absolute bs, or in the very least myths or confusion.
Yeah... if they used valid sources, why didnt they cite them? And if dont, where are they taking this info from?
@@gemavaliente7675 Exactly.
You can make perfumes without water, you know right?
@@makaelaischillin Dafuq? Who ever said you couldn't? In fact a perfume with water is a bad perfume.
Huh? It happens to this day....its called priorites and trying to keep up with the Jones'. Ever wonder why people can afford the newest iphone and name brand bag.....but cant afford to save for a downpayment on a small townhouse and actually own an asset?
We in nigeria cover our faces with xcrement lol
No wonder that prince keeps emailing everyone. If he has his money, he can move! ;)
Speak for yourself, not everyone is like you
Marie Antoinette took a bath on a regularly (though not every day) causing shock at the French court and courtiers having thought this habit was appalling. No wonder she was hatred from the beginning. (As a daughter of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa she grew up with the knowledge that personal cleanliness is something necessary. She also got shocked that there was no bathroom at the French royal palaces -as far as I know)
she was doomed from the start. no matter what she did during her reign, they never would have liked and/or accepted her. even if the revolution didn't happen and she remained queen for longer, nothing she could have done would have made up for the fact she was an absolute foreigner in that court. it's unfortunate, really, because i feel as though she could have contributed a lot. she was a smart and clever young woman.
The girl was campaigned, and conspired, against; back-stabbed and framed. She would have been very well advised to listen to her family
for one thing.
She could have been a little more circumspect and a BIT more demure.
But, with a little charity, she was just a kid; under enormous expectations.
@@gregedgerton3390 she thought life at versailles was ridiculous. the pomp and circumstance, the parade and theater of it all was silly to her. no wonder she acted how she acted. she played the part they wanted her to play, and she did it really well.
and then they punished her for it. she was never going to win or thrive there.
10.16: The first drug effective against syphilis was actually arsphenamine ('Salvarsan' or 'Compound 606'). Not as good as penicillin, but it did work.
Woww so much history knowledge you have
NIOCE!! I Didn't know, and still don't.. but I'ma find out....
(HATED I mean HATED school ironically I am now reading ALL
The word arsenic is still in that word so it must have been in it.
That was just nasty even when u don't take a bath for a long time how do perfume make u smell better I'm shock that they had a big building with no bathrooms u can take a crap just anywhere
fox lungs, what a random ingredient for perfume lol
What about hygiene in India or Africa at that time or now, which is even worst.
At least India was clean n beautiful country back then till the Britishers looted them
Not before Indians were invaded by Brits
No baby, Europe has always been the filthiest lol
I believe that my ancestors in Africa have always bathed and we still do it at least twice everyday so no we were and are not that dirty.
@@joannanteza1873 They bathed with bull poop yep, still smell the same after 10 bathes.
Ah the so called youtube historians...
Is this information incorrect?
@@oof8421 More incomplete or unsympathetic. We're all just getting on our high horses because we have different cultural norms, medical practices, city infrastructure, and access to transportation? It's not like we individually can take credit for the fact that our predecessors made it possible for most people to access clean water on demand. But I guess if we want to feel all morally superior because we're so modern and civilized now there's no one to stop us. May the future generations look at the limited documentation we leave behind and make kinder generalizations about what idiots we were.
Lol they more then likely get their information from Google then add their opinions
I actually kind of agree with this. It seems like these people try their hardest to make things seem as absolutely awful as humanly possible in order to entertain/disgust their viewers. Let’s be honest…if things were *this* bad, the odor of rotting vagina would’ve swept across Europe, everyone would’ve turned green and subsequently died. I can imagine someone making a “video essay” of sorts 300 years from now where they talk about the horrors of wiping with dry paper, using chemotherapy to treat cancer and pumping the atmosphere full of CO2. Are these things issues of varying consequence? Yes…but we aren’t all crawling around, begging for death. Right now, there are parts of India that have hygienic standards similar to those in this video due to incredible overpopulation/poverty. Sure, those places are pretty rugged by western standards but people are surviving nonetheless…
@@RebelGun4 Not feeling morally superior at all. Clearly most all these folks were suffering and living in misery, whether they accepted it or not, it was their life. Clean water, clothing and food were considered a great luxury especially when having gone without it. We definitely have our problems today, although thank God we have means to wash, eat clean food and basic sanitation.
i would not fare >:(
2:15 dude from Coldplay does that still
Yes, before soap & regular bathing everybody smelled like a mixture of 🐟🧅🧀💩 and morning breath. Of all of the nasty body issues going on I wonder, what was the condition of most people's feet back in olden times? I imagine most everybody probably had athlete's foot, nail fungus, and bone problems.
This is why when people say they wished they lived back then, I would say no you don’t 😅
The music with the title card at 0:53 is hilarious 😂
I imagine the narrator is god telling the story of man in a way he couldn’t believe we did all of this lol. Love it!!
It's part of France history..
How did people go to bed with each other. 🤢🤮😷🤢
Well, everybody stunk they didn't know life any other way, and the urge to do it overcame everything else.
@@watchensee ewe westoid frenchi pinkoids wanna be like us aryan yamnayas
Anyone knows the piano instrument that plays at 0:53 ?
That is Bach's Prelude and Fugue no. 2 in C minor from the Well Tempered Clavier(the Prelude part).
@@alexanderchatziioannidis4767Thank you so very much!
Penicillin 1928? More like the mid 1940s I think, certainly before it was used.
" Is that why french people named some perfumes au de toilette??🤔"
Yes, but it’s spelled « Eau de toilette ».
@@catherinevaz6139 ooh you right thank you hahah my bad
@xXSuggerSim QueenXx : That’s ok, you’re welcome :)
Edit : And yes, you’re right, that’s why we called some perfumes « Eau de toilette ». Because « toilette » means : to clean yourself. So, that « water » was meant to mask the smell of people who didn’t clean themselves back then.
Poopourri lmfao
My grandma called Aarid Xtra Dri spray "instant bath". We still loved her though.
Last time I was this early Marie Antoinette still had her head
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
great video
The piano piece which starts at :52? Can someone please identify it for me? I've been hearing it and learned it as a teenager, but I can't remember. Thanx!
It is the accompaniment to the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria. It is lovely
@@gloriamontgomery6900 also known as prelude from bach’s well-tempered clavier. It’s the same song that’s used to accompany ave maria
For some reason I'm always fascinated by these hygiene videos 😆
Maybe it's trying to tell you something lol
Rejected mongrel history, angry at their old european masters :(
Please explain...
3:14, who painted this? All I can find is it might have been done by François Boucher, but nothing on his wiki is showing this painting.
What is oil of worm. Surely not what it says on the tin?
imagine people with ocd living in that era
Thanks, Uncle Napoleon.
I just became a subscriber and man am I binging this channel is Awesome😘😍😍😍😍
The piano song in the background is Bach’s prelude in c if you like it
No perfume is going to suppress the stench. Rather it would make for a horrible mixture of unwashed body odor and perfume. Yuck.
Ya it would. Lol ew
Still better than "modern" day nigeria where you still can get monkeypox.
Shame on your monkeybrain for that comment regarding your own country......monkeybox is everywhere not only in Nigeria......low iq
You can get money pox in the UK and many other countries. Why picking on Nigeria specifically? I've been there and there are loads of modern places in all states. You're so ignorant.
Stupid comment tbh
Is monkeypox even a real thing? Sounds like some made up disease.
Thanks to every country literally raping that continent of its resources and people...
Fountains of perfume but not a drop of water. 🤢
This changes Rose of Versailles for me
They look so gross at 11:45
They look beautiful at 11:45.
Is this comment sarcastic? Is there a joke I’m not getting here?
It’s the racism for me and if this was a joke it wasn’t funny 😻✨
Racist asf....
Why? They look good.
I would like to hear you talk about the Chinese civil war
China has many Civil Wars in its past. Which one you're talking about
The one in the 50’s I think (it’s what change it to communist with Mao Zedong)
Corn cobs for toilet roll ouch that's going to be painful 😅😱😱
What’s the name of the song during the Versialle portion?
It’s called “Pictures at an Exhibition “, by Mussorgsky.
The Great Gate of Kiev.
It could be worse, like muslims washing their butts only with the left hand even today lol and not using tooth paste to brush their teeth with a wooden stick.
Lol, talk for yourself. Muslims wash with left hand "with water" not with mere toilet paper and think it's cleaned. And that wooden stick was being used to "clean" the teeth even before brushes were invented. And Muslims have to wash their face, hand and water 5 times a day "with water". You can't be serious commenting about Muslims under this kind of video😂😂
Man do i feel relieved to love in current era.
I wouldn't mind loving in either era. Though the ladies back then would have been unbelievably yucky. Anyway, French chicks are hairy. 😏
This channel is so interesting
Nice music in this one
11:45...lol that's not beauty at all
?
Elaborate??
Explain
This channel is literally about hygiene only.
Problem is that what they are covering is misinformation, these guys from wierd history probably buy into the idea that everyone only drank ale in medieval times.
@@franciscor390 proof?

Can you talk about pre-Spanish Colonization of Philippines hygiene
I got an add for a bday.....
11:45...Not beautiful at all !
I wonder what people with think of our hygiene habits 100 years from now.
They will view the 20th century as the pinnacle of hygiene. They will mark a rapid decline in the 21st century, thanks to the legacy of the nasty hippies. Western Civilization will be dead by 2120.

Can you make a video on Lafayette's life after the American Revolution?
You saw "Hamilton" too?
That’s why the lifespan of most these people was up to their mid 50ies

Do one on Arab hygiene next
Too easy, wipe your arse with your bare left hand and call pigs dirty.

Ask him to do one on the 😱 the aris-

Getting through a door was a problem.
It's hilarious that as I'm watching this, there's an ad for a bidet sale, lol!
After years of ancient societies having basic things like bathing and hygiene how was it that medieval times were so dirty they just forgot everything
Damn, they're probably stinkier than French cheese

Head lice don't carry typhus. That's body lice.

Paris stinks. I am sure it smells a lot better than it did when I was there in the 80's
Parisian here, it got worse...
I visited in 2010. A lot of it smells like piss.

@Nocturnal Flare - And Vinegar, right? *rimshot*
I was in Paris in the early 70s and it was a shit hole then, plus the locals were so far up their own arse you felt invisible.

Please take a shower and use some French perfume
@@catherinevaz6139 We love the French and the British. Any population of people having to live without basic sanitation is soon to find things smelling not so good, no matter who or where you are.
