I am currently reading up on Tudor times, I cannot find much on hygiene. I have only found (so far) that they would not bathe much due to the fact that it was a difficult and long process, and that they were scared of getting ill. Also that they used perfumes and oils to mask body odor. Getting to my question, what did they use to brush their teeth with and what did women use during their menstrual cycle (no undies)? Hope you can help:P Thank you Claire!

Thank you Claire!! An issue of “The English Housewife” is on my list of must have Tudoe books among others! Thanks agian!!
I’m building a Tudor dolls house & I was just wondering what they used in the kitchen to wash food and dishes, I can’t find a Tudor sink? Did they just use a dish and jug of water?
