Deodorant of Change
In 1888, the first commercial was made for deodorant by a company called Mum. It was created by a US inventor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, named Edna Murphy. It has been used for decades and was a great accomplishment to drift away from the weird past. People of the earlier centuries didn’t have a deodorant of this nature and, as such, came up with different elements (like nosegays) to reduce the bad odor they sported.

People didn’t speak of bad anyone’s odor during those days as everyone basically smelled the same way. The deodorant created by Murphey called mum was a type of slang that meant “to keep quiet” and was a cream that would suppress the high scent, which was the norm of the day.
The tissue of the 18th Century
Toilet paper is prevalent now and can be accessed from just about any grocery store. It has become an important part of our daily life, especially when we use the bathroom, and there is no water. But, nothing is more devastating than when you realize there is no toilet paper (especially after you have already done it) while camping or using a public restroom. If it is this hard, just imagine in the early centuries when there was no toilet paper.

We might have to agree that they used leaves back in the day, which is a popular thing for campers though some would have rags or other pieces of cloth. Some people would use their hands, and in early Japan, people used sticks to clean their butts when they go. Thank goodness we are born in an era where toilet paper is a bountiful commodity.
