When douching it dries me out. I wanted to know how often should I douch or is there anything else out there.

I'd suggest you get off the douche... your vagina has a natural pH balance, and douching changes that, making you vulnerable to the nasty little bugs that make you stink. Unless doctor-prescribed, the best way to care for your vagina is to just wash the outside with some mild soap and water once a day.
A healthy vagina does have some odor. It's nothing to be ashamed of, and is a powerful sexual signaler;) If you have an infection, either yeast or bacterial, however, that can make you smell bad... in that case, get yourself to a doctor. A quick course of antibiotics or yeast infection meds will usually clear the problem right up.

No more douche! They are not healthy for a woman. Your vagina naturally flushes itself out and douching will only make it flush more. I had a friend who use to douche regularly and now she has some serious vaginal dryness problems, so bad she can't really have sex. If it smells really bad see your gyno.

..Douching is not the best for you.If you have a odor coming from you, you may need to go see a Dr.Actually if you practice good hygiene, you shouldn't have odor problem.In other words, it is not normal.There is really no reason to douche.
