Should you douche before and after sex or not at all?

Answer 1

As long as you have good hygiene, you shouldn't really need to douche at all.

I've been with some girls where it looks like a grill on a hot summer day wafting up down there, they should douche....

Answer 2

You should not douche because it disturbs the natural balance in your vagina. There are micro organisms that keep you healthy that may be harmed. You must especially not douche after sex if you are thinking of using that as a birth control method. Douching does not kill sperm and may force it quicker up into your uterus, therefore promoting pregnancy. I find that if you want to use something to freshen up....use Rephresh - its recommended for this purpose and very effective.

Answer 3

I often like to douche AFTER sex. If I'm comfortable not having him wear a condom, which is rare. I know they say it's not healthy, but the body's natural cleansing cycle takes longer than I care for and it's messy. I only use clear water, though, as not to upset the natural balance of the vagina. When I'm a bit irritated, which can happen in very warm weather, I use a little vinegar or baking soda (never both at once). I also like to do this clear rinsing in the shower when my period is very heavy and I want to give myself those extra few seconds to dry myself without staining my towels.

I think douching is a nice way to be extra clean. Just avoid the chemicals and perfumed, pre-bottled products. I buy them for the convenience of disposable and empty out the contents and replace with clean, warm water.

Answer 4

Not at all. Douching washes away helpful bacteria to promote which an even chemical balance protect against yeast infections

Answer 5

Never douche. It's not safe - you'll get an infection.

Just wash yourself there real good with soap and water. Especially after or you'll get a UTI.

Answer 6

I have heard by many doctors that douche's are not healthy.
