No, and you probably shouldn't, either. The vagina is a self-regulating body part; it cleans itself out and keeps a pH balance that is able to kill bad bacteria but not good bacteria (which douches may kill). Douches are both unnecessary and dangerous when used too often.
If you're worried about cleanliness and hygiene or smell, take frequent baths (submerging your entire body in water and letting gravity "pull" any ickiness from your vaginal canal will clean much better than a shower), or switch to a low-pH cleanser/soap, which is said to better maintain the natural pH and keep things the way they ought to be.
Hope that helps.

I understand that it's not really healthy to douche.

I've done it a few times, but stopped. It's really not necessary and can dry you out inside.

No. It disrupts PH balances down there.
