Together With Dutch Wives in This Summer

As the heat wave closes in, many products to prevail over the hot weather have made their way to market. On June 4, customers are shopping for Dutch wives at the Shisegye department store in Gangnam, located in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul. A Dutch wife, a cylindrical product made of bamboo approximately 1-1.5 meters in length, helps promote good sleep on sultry nights.
