Comment on With bathing, water recirculation is more easily accepted.

I don’t have direct experience so call me out if I heard wrong.

I think before modern plumbing it was quite normal for more people sharing a bath one after the other, or going to large bath houses. The house I grew up in from the early 1900s didn’t have a bathroom and people would handwash and occasionally fill a bath in the kitchen. (We had a shower built in, but it was obviously not part of the original design)
