Do You Douche?

Contributor: joolie joolie
My gut reaction is that douching will mess up everything.

Douching might cause BV, they say.

I don't douche in the accepted sense, but I turn the shower head over and spray up into my vagina during my period or after intercourse to wash out semen if I am going to be wearing nice, clean panties! I don't use soaps, just the water.
My husband is French and when we used to go visit his mum over in France we had a bidet in our bedroom (it was an old house!), I did regularly use that to keep my bits fresh or after a day on the beach to wash out sand.
I have to say that I have never had any problems that could be attributed to that in all the years I have cleansed myself like that.

No. Growing up, my mom advised me not to and after doing research of my own, I'm glad I didn't.

Well said, Darling Jen! Douching is a horrible idea!

Nope nope nope. Especially considering the fact that Lysol used to be marketed as a douche.

I've never done it, and I won't do it. I've never felt the need to and it seems unnecessary.

I have always been told it is a no no and leads to infection because it washes out all the good bacteria and messes with the ph! So no, I never do it!

hehe "cooter" teehee



I've douched before with a betadine solution because I had a bad yeast infection, and it really helped! But that is the only time I will douche, and honestly if I ever douche again I'll do a apple cider vinegar douche because that helps restore the PH balance and good bacteria if you have a yeast infection.

Otherwise, douching isn't necessary at all! You're kitty does a good job regulating itself.

I just don't trust it, nor feel that it is very safe.

Never done it. It throws off the natural balance of your system.

I've heard they are better for you if you make your own solution for an empty douche bag and not use their perfumy stuff

Douching is bad for your vagina despite what Summer's Eve would like us to think. I don't want my vagina to smell like a flower, because it's not; it's a vagina!
