dont do that. the vagina cleanse itself in the inside. all you have to do is wash with soap and water. when you douche, you force bacteria back into your uterus, which can eventually cause problems if you are trying to have a baby. douching is very unneccessary.

Never it's unhealthy.
Like Dr. Oz says " the vagina is like a self cleaning oven "
douching gets rid of the bad bacteria and the good! The good bacteria which prevent infection!

Never, it is unnecessary. The vagina is a self-cleaning organ and you can interfere with the natural PH balance. Douching increases the risk of yeast infections, can cause vaginal irritation and inflammation and predispose you to a yeast infection.
Some girls douche after their period but it is not necessary and can be dangerous.

Never! Women that douche open themselves up to higher risks of vaginal bacterial infections. There are good vaginal and bad vaginal bacteria. When you douche it washes the good away and leaves the bad ones to start infections. Happened to me and gyno advised to stop douching. So I did the infections stopped.

Never. Douches mess with the natural balance in your vagina. You end up making it more likely that you will get an infection by using them.

What is the purpose of douching? The body has the ability to cleanse itself. If you have a problem with odor, you need to go to the doctor.

Yeah i agree with the other replys, but what about anal sex? douching before anal sex is very important if you want a clean and bacteria free encounter.Of course you can over do it, i wouldn't suggest every day as part of your cleansing routine but definitely do it before you participate in anal.

You shouldn't douche. It upsets the natural balance of your body and can cause over or undergrowth of naturally occuring bacteria, etc. As long as you practice good hygiene and you are healthy, it can take care of itself.
