A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygienic 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 cognate encountered by non-native speakers of English). The word can refer to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to the vagina.

Slang uses douche are popular terms of insult or ridicule in North America.
The word has a wide array of meanings, and is often used interchangeably with the words like jerk, asshole, poser, wannabe and doofus.
It is most often used to ridicule a person who acts as if he is better at something than he actually is. For example, a guy who dresses up like a basketball player, but is actually a horrible athlete would be more likely to be called a douchebag than a person who makes no pretense of being good at basketball, but is just as bad at sports.

A stream of water directed into the vagina for cleansing or medical purposes. It is also one of those things that we ladies use that suppose to help but isn't so good for prolong use, it can seriously affect a women ph balance in the vagina and it can even cause dryness of the vagina if used too frequent and over too long a period of time.

Hope this explanation was clear enough.

A bad, bad thing for your vagina. It's something you put inside and spray. women think that it will clean the vagina but it really doesn't. Your vagina is like an oven and is self cleaning, there is never a reason to douche. If you are foul, you need to go to the doctor not squirt vinegar inside yourself. It's been linked to ovarian cancer.

IT's something women use to cleanse themselves with. It used to be like a siphon, but now its mostly sprays and chemicals.

It is also a derogatory term for a crappy person.
