Don't douche! It's bad for your vagina. Your vagina is self-cleaning and doesn't need any help, and douching can cause problems like yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or urinary tract infections. If you have itching, a "fishy" smell or strange, chunky discharge from your vagina, you have either a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis, and douching will only exacerbate the situation. Go to you GYN instead, you'll be glad you did!

Read the box but I wouldn't do it. Douches can be bad for you. I grew up in a house which I was told not to douche. I douched a couple times in college and both times got really bad yeast infections.
I wouldn't do it but if you want to go right ahead but read the instructions.

Douching is not needed! In fact, it alters the natural ph of our vagina.
Save a few bucks from buying a douche and use it on something fun!

Get summers eve... they already come together there is no need to screw the top on like other brands.. just pull the top up and put it in and squeeze.. there is directions in the box also. and i would only douche after your period and sex. anymore than that is not to good.. use wipes for other problems they are in the same isle as the douche.. I'm not sure if its refresh or rephresh but is a good brand for them.

My mom always said to not Douche but of course I never listened until my doctor told me to not do this since it can make things WAY worse.

Follow the instructions on the box...but I wouldn't do that if I were you, it causes an imbalance which can lead to other things, like dryness, yeast infections, etc... Let your body produce it's own stuff, otherwise it may take awhile to get back to it's normal state.

Do not douche! Your vagina cleans itself.
