Caring for your own body differs between nations in Europe.

For some, this is extremely important, for others it is their fellow humans who suffer the most. Personal hygiene varies from person to person. The research conducted by Digitec Galaxus, the online shopping store owned by Migros, reveals the national differences in Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland with exciting anecdotes. Where do the most hygienic people in Europe live?

France likes to do this manually and without any help

Italy became the European tooth brushing champion. A third brush their teeth three times a day, and 4 percent brush their teeth even more often. Most people brush their teeth twice a day. In Switzerland, this rate is 62 percent. Meanwhile, the bruise has the best chance in Germany and France. Crazy: 3 percent only use their toothbrush every other day or less.

Manual toothbrush is superior to electronic toothbrush. In France, almost two-thirds of people do their maintenance manually. In Switzerland, the ratio is more balanced: 44 to 39 percent, with 17 percent needing both.

In France, the manual toothbrush also seems to do its job. Very few people need additional aids for oral hygiene. Otherwise, each country has its own preferences: Most floss enthusiasts are at home in Switzerland. Germans love to scrape their tongues. After pizza and pasta, mouthwash is the most used.

Switzerland’s ears are dirty

Following the dental cleaning crown, Italy also took home the cup in the ear cleaning category. 41 percent clean their spoons every day; In Switzerland, this rate is only 16 out of 100. All German-speaking countries have earwax. 1 in 10 people clean their ears less than once a month.

Clean-haired, smelly Germans

People who don’t like showers live in Germany! 9 percent shower only once a week, followed by Italians. French shower is the most frequent: 7 percent of respondents shower several times, and 64 percent shower once a day. Switzerland comes close with 61 percent.

Washing your hair with shampoo two to three times a week is almost standard. But the Germans and Swiss are the ones who are most upset. Almost a third do this every day. Three percent of almost all countries say they shampoo their hair for less than two weeks.

Italy needs water for everything

Toilet paper is, unsurprisingly, the most popular toilet hygiene product. 94 percent of survey respondents use it. Switzerland is the toilet paper king with 97 percent. But in Italy you need wetness, among other things. 53 percent – ​​40 percent more than in other countries – use a Closomat or bidet. Anyone who has been on holiday in Italy is used to seeing the sink more often.

Swiss pos is also afraid of water. Only 10 percent use water to clean Füdli. Wet wipes are very popular in Austria. 46 percent like using them.
