Best Answer

Victorians did not bathe as regularly as we do today because many people lived in poor conditions. Until the late Victorian period many people lived without running water to their homes. You would have to fetch your water from a well or a local pump. The only way of heating this water was then by fire, so you can imagine how much time and effort you would have to go through to have a bath. In Victorian times it was common practise to go to public bath houses, a bit like public Swimming Pools but you would go there to wash and to socialise. Males and females always bathed seperatly.
