Douche, that is. Do you? Don't you? Did you? Have you? How about anal douching?

I've never done it. I heard it messes with the chemicals/ph levels/etc in the vag and I really don't want to have to worry about infections. Plus my bf has never had any qualms about my smell/taste. I only 'clean out' myself with the showerhead when I shower, but I know that's not like douching, but ya.

I got a fountain-style douche and enema set from Walgreens because it was on clearance. I was trying all sorts of home remedies to get rid of my yeast infections, and one website suggested douching with a dilution of hydrogen peroxide, then a quick rinse out with clean water, and then a third douche with yogurt or probiotics/yogurt bacteria in a pill. I tried it a few times, and even switched it up with a solution of tea tree oil, but either the fountain douche wasn't as quick and thorough as the bulb-type douche or I just wasn't doing it right, because it didn't make me better. Later on, I found out it was the glycerin in the lube I was using. Since then, the giant pink douchebag has been hanging from my parents' shower head. I don't really have the motivation to put it anywhere else, but it hasn't seen much use.

Oddly enough, I ended up having a conversation with my Mom about douching after I made a joke about those gawdawful Massengil commercials. Lucky for me, I got the whole "throws off pH balance/makes you more susceptible to yeast infections" rundown, to say nothing of the (TMI to my 12 year old mind) speech about how offensive it was to imply that there's something wrong with a woman's body that would need to be covered with perfumes, and if there's ever a strange smell or itch or anything down there to let her know because that means you need to go to the doctor. *whew*
So, in short, vaginal douching? No, except for a vinegar/water/tea tree mix I used once to get rid of a yeast infection (which did actually work for me ... I used a 50cc syringe & rubber tube to administer twice a day for a week).
Anal douching? With plain warm water before anal sex, yes, absolutely, every time. Feces? Just a leeeetle teeeeeeny bit less sanitary than vaginal secretions.

For anal I do definitely, I would never expect a woman to douche her vagina...seems pretty unnecessary.
09/15/2009
I never have, either one.

Never have and never plan to. But never say never!

I never have and never plan to. Anally may happen some day if I think I need to, but I don't want to mess with the natural balance of my vagina. Those commercial douches have some nasty stuff in them.
09/16/2009
Never have, I have occasional infections now, don't need something to mess with the delicate balance.
For anal play, I just "know" if I'm ready and I am not always "ready".

Anally, yes, absolutely. It just makes anal sex a more pleasant experience for me.
Miss Cinnamon: There have been times when anal sex was just a bad idea. I won't go into details, but my partner knew me well enough to know that when I say no to anal, I have a VERY good reason. Mostly because I made it very clear to him in the beginning that I wouldn't say no unless I absolutely meant it, so he should listen. I also pointed out the time when I said no to oral cuz I wasn't feeling hot and he DIDN'T listen..and paid for it in puke. It gets the point across well.
Vaginally, no. For all the reasons already stated.

I have never and wouldn't ever douche vaginally, but I would anally (I haven't yet). Vaginal douches are such a bad idea.
09/18/2009
I have never douched vaginally. The vagina cleans itself; I don't see the need to go screwing around with it unless my OBGYN tells me to.
I haven't used chemical douches anally, but I have used a water-based one a few times at the request of a partner.

I've never douched and wouldn't unless my Ob/gyn told me to and prescribed it.
09/19/2009
I have never done it and I never will. It is unnecessary. The vagina is self cleansing and I hear that douching does more harm than good.

I personally use the Eve douche brand. I use it once a month after mother nature leaves. It leaves feeling fresh and clean. I don't anal douche but I guess that is a personal decision. I personally think that by using a medicated douche you can avoid a lot of vaginal yeast infections. I haven't had a lot since I started using the medicated ones from Wally world!

I douche anally and vaginally with Splash and water. It deodorizes and doesn't disturb the natural microbe population too much.

I used to douche vaginally, but stopped when I read that it's not really necessary. And you know what? It's not really necessary! My pussy still smells fresh.

I've never douched vaginally. I would only do it if my doctor prescribed it.
I've never douched anally either. I'd be willing to try a simple water douche before butt play, but I don't really think it's necessary.

I've never douched vaginally, for all of the above reasons. But I have douched anally. I've only done it a couple of times, as I find it to be a little time consuming if we're in the heat of the moment.

NEVER HAVE AND NEVER PLAN TO! I don't think douching is neccessary (vaginally) I really don't. I believe that the cooter is capable of cleaning it's self. There's an acid in cooters and it's there to control bacteria the bad and the good and keep everythign totally clean. Douches really can be dangerous and they are linked to causing real problems and infections. I have never in my life douched and I have a pretty healthy cooter! I haven't ever had a scent or a bad smell ever and odor is a pretty common thing among all women. I don't think douching is ever neccessary really. Also, if it's a thing about feeling clean, you can always fill a warm bath and gently "suck in" the water and push out. It cleans it just fine.

i never have anally, have vaginally a few times in my life

No, I've never done it. It seems unnecessary to me.

I have never done either, but I think I would try anally. Until I have a problem, though, I don't see the point in doing either.

I feel like anal douching is really the only type of douching that is safe. Vaginal douching can result in unnecessary dryness, yeast infections, etc. Women think they are actually cleaning, when they are really damaging the vagina. I work at a women's health center and we rarely ever advice a woman to douche unless she is flushing out medications that have been inserted inside of her. Even then, it is unnecessary.
Anal douching is quite easy. I recommend the Colt Anal Douche. It's under one of my reviews. Best anal douche out there, and I've tried a bunch.
