Episode 5: Everyone Poops

from Sip and Saga Society · host Karina

This week the girls discuss the history of toilet paper using the book   Wiped by Ronald H. Blumer as a source.  Imagine visiting a 2,000-year-old Roman communal toilet and wondering how people managed to clean up after themselves. This curiosity uncovers a fascinating history of human hygiene practices. Ancient Greeks used stones and sponges, while medieval Europeans often reused cloth. It wasn't until the 19th century that toilet paper became widely available. Through the ages, the subject of defecation has been surrounded by stigma, influencing how different cultures approached cleanliness and sanitation.      Let us know what you're sippin' :Instagram.com/SipAndSaga_Society/Facebook.com/SipAndSaga/sipandsaga.onlineThank you to those who support the Society including :Trey Boles  for our wonderful intro and outro music!
