In the Netherlands we call it a French shower, I don't know why. (But i can guess)

I've never heard that one before, in my circle we call it a military shower.

I would like to volunteer the 'Hours bath, which is soap and water for face, armpits, and crotch, with a sink or basin and picher.

Hits the B.O. right in the glandulars.

Also just a big fan of washing cracks, feet, and hands after emptying the guts.

French shower

Or French bath, is basically washing your chest and arms and face with only soap and water from the washbasin.

Is it because the French term for shower is "douche"?
