+379 The fact that they only took showers once a month makes living in the Elizabethan era look a little less glamorous, amirite?

Well first of all, nobody took showers. They took baths. Also, the royalty only bathed maybe 3 times a year. And the lower class never bathed.

"Therefore, lower class citizens (making up the bulk of the Elizabethan era people) would maybe only bathe a few times in a single year. For the upper class, they had a little bit more luxury and were able to bathe roughly once every couple of weeks." http://www.elizabethanenglandlife.com/elizabethan-hygiene.html Juustt saying niggaa.

You mean Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth II is the current queen, and I assure you she's bathed more than twice.

That actually sounds kind of nice. I just went two days without washing my hair and it felt awesome!

I kept reading this as "The fact that it took showers less than a month to make the Elizabethan Era look more glamorous, amirite?" and I came here to bitch you out about the format, then realized how dumb I was. So anyway, YYA.
