Vintage Hygiene Practices That Are the Very Opposite of Clean

 
Women Drank Solutions With Dried Beaver Testicles to Prevent Pregnancy

The 1500s was a weird time full of concerning practices. And when it comes to birth control for women, there's no surprise that the techniques used were unbelievable. Women would actually drink a potion so horrible that just hearing about it makes your stomach churn. The drink was a concoction of moonshine and ground beaver testicles. It is a sad and disturbing reality that these were the measures women had to take to prevent pregnancy.

While you may be tempted to see if this method works, it's good to know that modern-day alternatives don't include beaver parts.
