What about their men ? Do they bath through this process too?

I'm also interested. I'm curious why the topic specifically mentioned women and didn't say anything about the men. Do the men bath more?

Seems like it.

Don't they drink water?How do they take care of their infants and pregnant women particularly when they're to deliver a new born babe? Which continent of the world are they found? They look so weird, a being.

E b things, chai

Do the men do same and what if they want to have intercourse , do they have mud on their penile region? That will cause a hell of friction

Himba people of northern Namibia, there are quite a few fascinating things about them. One of the most striking is how they protect their skin and hair using a traditional mixture called otjize, made from butterfat and red ochre.

This paste isn’t just cosmetic—it serves multiple purposes:
- It protects their skin from the harsh desert sun and insects
- It helps preserve moisture in a very dry climate
- It carries cultural meaning tied to beauty, identity, and tradition

Himba hairstyles also tell stories—age, marital status, and life stage can often be read just from how a person’s hair is styled.

Ha, water go cost pass oyel for hia

They were never colonised

What about clean up post-delivery, doing the number six, cooking, etc...

Here in Africa, Namibia to be precise.

Their toto go dey smell like wetin no good

Wonders shall never end, coming across this for the first time. The smoke bath will surely have effects, if thorough investigated.

How do they care for pregnant women and childbirth?
Pregnancy and childbirth are handled through a mix of traditional knowledge and communal care:
Pregnant women are supported by elder women and traditional birth attendants
Many births historically happen in or near the home, though modern clinics are increasingly used when accessible
Cattle, milk, and a supportive diet are important for nutrition during pregnancy
After birth, both mother and baby are cared for closely by female relatives
There are cultural rituals around childbirth, emphasizing protection and transition into motherhood
So while it may look very different from modern hospital systems, it is still a structured and community-supported maternal care system.

What is amazing in bathing thrice throughout your lifetime

So the apply mud too during their monthly flow

Stop the misinformation. While water baths are extremely rare due to severe water scarcity, they aren't restricted to bathing only three times in their lives. And they're neither forbidden from touching it nor unhygienic because of it, because their alternative cleansing system is effective.
