Special underpants for the toilet
You’ve seen pictures of how women in the 18th century dressed, with their massive gowns loaded with bustles, obviously making it quite a challenge to take off. Imagine trying to use the toilet with all that stuff on! Luckily for them, improvements were made, although clearly with not much effort.
Their underpants had a split section, allowing the women to hover over the bowl to relieve themselves. Great concept? Sure, but it was poorly implemented. The problem was, if they weren’t extremely careful, they’d make a complete mess of themselves. How’s that for hygiene?
