Do you think people were gagging at body odor back in the day, or was it normal to them?

Even if you were wealthy, and bathed everyday, there was no deodorant, and soap wasn’t that powerful back then. When did toilet paper become common?

Do you think they were cool with it, or were they in a perpetual state of:

They had perfume

And toilet paper is recent invention.

They all smelled like shyt so it was normal.


I can only imagine the summer stank coming from when they used to wear petticoats and gloves

I have to admit I think about this a lot more than I should. Lol. I imagine how women with unwashed puccy must have been prevalent back then and I get utterly repulsed. The festering wild life under those long heavy dresses, the stank breadth. The remnants of sh1t on peoples hands after they take a dump (no soap - just water). Yea I’m glad I wasn’t born back then.

But then again, we were all alive multiple times in the past. So I’m sure we dealt with it as best as we could then.

I don’t think people stunk as much cause their diets were a lot cleaner. Eating way more vegetables and non processed foods

I mean they weren’t smelling like bbls and Taco Bell but the human body has a smell/funk, especially if unbathed.

When did toilet paper become common?

15th Century.

Most people before then used water and soap on a rag to clean they ass.

 

[Kuro]

africans invented perfume thousands of years ago...i dont use deodorant now...it makes my pits itch...i spray perfume (cologne) on my pits and im good...

 

[Coli Bot]

They used to clean they asses with the same shared shytty stick in roman times

Imagine the musk coming from the poor hos who couldn't afford perfumes

I was gonna say they probably got used to it. Read somewhere that the human nose is low key trash like that. It can get used to a lot of smells but it's especially sensitive to feces and decaying bodies as a defense mechanism.

They used to wipe their ass with their left hand. That's why it's a form of disrespect to do certain things with your left hand in certain countries to this day.
