Douching is not recommended anymore, as not only can it disrupt the normal balance of the body, but leave a woman more open to infection. If she has a foul odor, then she needs to see a doctor as this is indicative of some type of infection going on.

for her health and yours too.Sorry but there is no nice way to say it...you have to tell her that it is out of concern. She may or may not be aware of it. The vagina has a natural way of cleansing itself, but it isn't always enough. If the odor is foul then she may some type of infection and in this case douching would be to a disadvantage...it could spread the infection.
Man up and tell her that you need to talk. Tell her that you are concerned about her health. If necessary you might even tell a little white lie and say that you "read an article the other day about..." to start the conversation.
Depending on her age, she may not know that something isn't right down there. Some odors are only apparent after having sex. Be honest and tell her what you smell, she will feel like you really care about her and her health.
If she finds out that she has an infection, she needs to ask her doctor about the transference of the infection back and forth between the two of you. You may need to take medication as well.

It is not ok to ask your chic to douche. If your chic smells down there, then she needs to see a doc because she possibly has something, such as a yeast or vaginal infection or something to make her smell. It is not good to douche because it takes away the needed "good" bacteria that keeps germs out.

Don't ask her to douche. Douching is bad for woman's vagina. It can cause all kinds of infections, from yeast infections to bacterial vaginosis to even urinary tract infections. If she gets one of those, you'll be totally cut off during her treatment, and then you'll be sorry you said anything at all!
Vaginas clean themselves, and if hers is not clean enough for you, than no vagina is. If she smells "fishy" when you go down on her, you should mention the smell and ask her to see her gynecologist, because she probably has bacterial vaginosis. If she has chunky discharge, she probably has a yeast infection, so again mention it, but only to express concern and ask her to go to the doctor.

If there is a foul odor it may be a bacteria infection. If this is the case douching will not really help. She will need to go to the doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics. Good luck on getting her to the doctor.

no it is not ok.....douching is a waste of time and it is not good for women...i have never douched in my life and i have no problems down there...women dont normally smell unless they arent washing it daily....i would suggest asking her to take a bath or a shower with you that way you are being romantic, solving the problem, and not hurting anyones feelings.....

NOt really, douching isn't at all good for you and can lead to further complications like yeast infections. The vagina is self cleaning.

Douching is dangerous. It can throw off the pH in the vagina, leading to tons of problems (like yeast infections).
Why do you want her to? Is it the smell? If her vagina is particularly pungent, it's probably due to an infection, but keep in mind that it's not exactly supposed to smell like flowers. A vagina is supposed to smell like a vagina.

If you have been having sex, then you can talk to her about it. She may not know. Just be kind. Nothing like "Damn babe! Get a douche..WHEW!" Nothing like that! Be nice-she might have an infection that could be easily treated.
End of problem!
