===Ladling water from a container=== [[File:Nude woman washing face, animated from Animal locomotion, Vol. IV, Plate 413 by Eadweard Muybridge.gif|thumb|100px|[[Eadweard Muybridge]], 1872β1885 (photographed); 1887 (images published); 2012 (animated), Nude woman washing face, animated from ''Animal locomotion'', Vol. IV, Plate 413]] This method involves using a small container to scoop water out of a large container and pour water over the body, in such a way that this water does not go back into the large container. In Indonesia and Malaysia, this is a traditional method referred to as ''mandi''. In the Indonesian language, ''mandi'' is the verb for this process; ''bak mandi'' is the large container, and ''kamar mandi'' is the place in which this is done.<ref>From the ''Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia'', fourth edition: ::::{{Blockquote|'''mandi''' ''v.'' to wash one's body with water and soap (by pouring water over or soaking one's body, etc.) [''membersihkan tubuh dng air dan sabun dng cara menyiramkan, merendamkan diri ke air, dsb.''] p.871|}} ::::{{Blockquote|'''bak mandi''' ''n.'' something used to hold water for bathing [''kolam tempat air untuk mandi''], p. 121}} ::::{{Blockquote|'''kamar mandi''' ''n.'' place for bathing [''bilik tempat mandi''], p. 611}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Indonesia: Indonesian culture|url=http://en.allexperts.com/q/Indonesia-193/Indonesian-culture.htm|date=11 December 2005|website=All Experts|access-date=8 March 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110705074958/http://en.allexperts.com/q/Indonesia-193/indonesian-culture.htm|archive-date=5 July 2011}}</ref> Travel guides often use the word ''mandi'' on its own or in various ways such as for the large container and for the process of bathing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=East Timor |url=http://www.lonelyplanet.com/shop_pickandmix/previews/east-timor-2-directory-preview.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607171652id_/http://www.lonelyplanet.com/shop_pickandmix/previews/east-timor-2-directory-preview.pdf |archive-date=2011-06-07 |access-date=2011-03-08 |website=[[Lonely Planet]] |place=[[Indonesia]] |quote=Cheaper hotels, where they exist, may not have running water or showers. Washing facilities are likely to be Indonesian ''mandi'' style, something with which travellers who have been off the beaten track in Indonesia will be familiar. A ''mandi'' is a large water tank, from which you scoop water with a ladle, jug or what looks like a plastic saucepan. Once wet, you soap yourself down and then rinse the soap off with more water from the ''mandi''. You certainly do not climb into the ''mandi''.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Indonesia |url=http://tactileint.com/seasia/indonesia.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627075711/http://tactileint.com/seasia/indonesia.html |archive-date=2022-06-27 |access-date=2012-06-22 |website=Tactile Interactive}}</ref> [[File:P2040236C.JPG|thumb|The ''timba'' (pail) and the [[Tabo (hygiene)|''tabo'']] (dipper), the two essentials in Philippine bathrooms and bathing areas.]] In the Philippines, ''timba'' (pail) and ''[[Tabo (hygiene)|tabo]]'' (dipper) are two essentials in every bathroom.
