In the 17th century, bathing habits varied significantly depending on social class and region. Many people, especially in urban areas, bathed infrequently, often considering it unnecessary or even potentially harmful due to prevailing beliefs about health. Public bathhouses existed, but their use was irregular, and personal hygiene often relied more on changing clothes and sponge bathing. The wealthy might bathe more often, but communal bathing was less common compared to modern standards.
