I've always wondered if it's a good idea to use vinegar and water after intercourse?

Yes. Once a week. Unfortunately.

I don't know what you mean by being a "good idea." It doesn't do anything practical to avoid pregnancy or STDs (in fact, douching after intercourse can force semen further up into the vagina, slightly increasing the chance of pregnancy), and it doesn't sanitize you any more than washing with soap and water would. But if it makes you feel "fresher" and that's important for you, go for it.

Nope. Your vagina is a self-cleaning mechanism. Leave it alone. Throwing off the chemical balance can leave you open to bacterial, fungal and yeast infections. Don't do it! If your vagina doesn't smell right, see a doctor for treatment and otherwise just wash the exterior with warm soapy water and use the toilet after intercourse. Hope this helps!

Ew! No!
Douching of any kind is very bad for you, it pushes bacteria up into your body.
Just make sure you pee at least 15 minutes after sex. Urine is sterile, and will knock out any bacteria in your urethra.
Just keep your 'gina clean, and try not to let him ejaculate inside you - that messes up the PH balance.
Clean with a baby wipe, that always does good combined with some baby powder.

no as that will just push the sperm higher into your uterus and tubes.. more like giving them a boost on a big wave, and they are way more hardy than you think as they can live for 24 hours OUTSIDE the body.. douching is a very euro thing,, and does nothing for your over all feminine health and actually kills off any good bacteria that you have up there,, your uterus is like a self cleaning oven,, it does it all by itself, once a month..

To do what exactly?
If your planning on douching, don't. It's not good. Your body will clean itself, it doesn't need help. By douching, you will also flush out all the good bacteria in your vagina and mess things up.

vinegar would not ge good to put down there... im pretty sure it will kill the "good" bacteria.
Ask your OBGYN

If you don't dilute it correctly, it will burn the crap out of you!
