Renaissance Hygiene Slide show made by none other than: CURTI$ LAUGHMAN
Their bodies • Most people in the renaissance period were not very nice to their bodies • Some over-ate • Some drank too much alcohol • Most did not get enough exercise • Some women would wear strings (belts) tightly around their waist to make it look smaller. • http://science.jrank.org/pages/9721/Hygiene-Middle-Ages-Renaissance-200-1700-C-E.html
CLEANLINESS • Most took baths 3 times per year (upper class took baths every other week). • Baths were taken in big wooden tubs next to fireplaces. • They would wash their hands before meals if water was available. • Hair would be washed separate from body with lye solution. • Green hazel twigs and wooden cloths were used to brush teeth. • http://www.sd01.k12.id.us/schools/riverglen/Library/Evans/Renaissance/RenMedicine/RenMedicine.htmlh
Bathroom • They did not have flush toilets. • Outhouses were often used. • They did not have toilet paper at the time. • They would use clumps of straw, hey, or grass to take care of the things we do with toilet paper nowadays. http://www.sd01.k12.id.us/schools/riverglen/Library/Evans/Renaissance/RenMedicine/RenMedicine.html
