It's for women sweetie. I haven't heard that term in ages. It's so outdated. It's a product women had years ago before the disposable products came along keeping women fresh and clean.

hahahaha. a douche bag is a large rubber bag used commonly, prior to disposable douches being common i guess, to administer douche. Douche is what women use to clean their vaginas. I think water and vinegar is or was commonly used for this purpose. Women fill their um you know vaginas with it to get rid of that "not so fresh" feeling. "Douchebag" used to reference another person, ie "you are a douchebag" or "that guy is a douchebag" is an insult for obvious reasons. like calling someone an "asshole" or "dick" or something i suppose.

Hmm...what a question..not a bad one, it just makes me think about it. My first instinct is to say that it probably depends on any person's idea of what it means, like a 'jerk'. But when I think about it, it sounds like something that would be found in the gutter, a lowlife, scumbucket, etc... My guess is that it's someone who doesn't take care of themselves and don't care about other people, either. OMG, I'm a douchebag!! lol justkidding!

Before there were disposable douches, women used to have this rubber bag with a hose running out of it. They would fill the bag with water and usually some vinegar and use the solution to clean themselves.

A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygenic reasons, or the stream of water itself. The word comes from the French language, in which its principal meaning is a shower (it is thus a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English). The word can refer to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to the vagina. A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching (the word can also be used as a verb). To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina the douche bag must not be used for an enema. (See below for slang uses.)

Vaginal douching has a variety of perceived benefits. In addition to promising to clean the vagina of unwanted odors, it can also be used by women who wish to have intercourse during menstruation, in order to avoid blood smearing the penis. In the past, douching was also used after intercourse as a method of birth control, though it is not very effective (see below).

Many people suggest that douching is generally not a good idea, as the vagina is self-cleaning and douching interferes with the natural bacterial culture of the vagina, and it might spread or introduce infections1. For example, the U.S. Department of Health strongly discourages douching, warning that it can lead to irritation, bacterial vaginosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease2.

Douches may consist of water, water mixed with vinegar, or even antiseptic chemicals. Frequent douching with water may result in an imbalance of the pH of the vagina, and thus may put women at risk for possible vaginal infections. Antiseptics may result in an imbalance of the natural bacteria in the vagina, also resulting in an increased likelihood of infection. Furthermore, unclean douching equipment may also introduce undesirable foreign bodies into the vagina. For these reasons, the practice of douching is now generally discouraged, unless under medical supervision.

Douching after intercourse is estimated to reduce the chances of conception by only 15-25%. In comparison, proper condom use reduces the chance of conception by as much as 97%. In some cases douching may force the ejaculate further into the vagina, increasing the chance of pregnancy.

The practice of douching is now largely restricted to North America, where douching equipment is often available in pharmacies. It is estimated that 20 to 40 percent of American women aged 15 to 44 years douche regularly. About half of these women douche every week2.

Douching the anus is also known as Enema.

Slang uses
Terms such as douchebag, d-bag, and just plain douche are popular terms of insult or ridicule in North America. In recent years, the word "douche" and its many variations have come to be used interchangeably with the words "asshole" and "dick."
