Foot bucket and waist bucket selling
(Foot buckets and waist buckets are sold)
The above talks about the women’s facial threading, now let’s change to the women’s bath equipment: waist bucket.
Waist bucket, made of Chinese fir, is an ancient bidet intended for woman to wash under parts of the body. It is about 50cm in diameter and 40cm in height.
Another kind of popular bucket is foot bucket, also made of Chinese fir and used for bathing and washing clothes. It has about 90cm in diameter and 20cm in height.
Most of the foot buckets and waist buckets are sold by the women from Jieyang city. In the picture, a woman, wearing a loose blue hakka dress and golden bamboo hat, is shouting out for consumers, yelling “Foot buckets and waist buckets are sold”.
