A douche (IPA: [du:ʃ]) 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 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 term douche bag can also be used as an insult; see below for slang uses). To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina the douche bag must not be used for an enema.

It is not an effective one!
Some people believe that you can wash out the vagina after sex to prevent conception but some of those pesky sperms always linger.
If you don't want to get pregnant go and see a family planning expert.

You don't want to know. The other answers said what it is. It is even less reliable than withdrawal. If you really want to get pregnant, then use it.
However douching for any reason is practically never recommended by doctors for any reason
