Shower


Modern communal showers were introduced in 1872 by French physician François Merry,
but they didn't become common until World War I.  The concept really took off
when the YMCAs made them a routine part of physical culture.

  1. Wonderful. The best way for men to wash. I grew up with these. Have a chat. Laugh, Sing, muck about. Wet towel flicking..and quite a bit of comparing.

  2. Des douches collectives conçues à une époque où l’on se lavait rarement et où l’hygiène personnelle était négligée.
    Par conséquent, la santé s’est améliorée et l’espérance de vie a augmenté.
