It's a personal preference actually. Just know you can't do it that often otherwise you could up with an infection. But some women have more odor down there then others and if it's that noticeable and makes you self conscious, then I say try it. Because you can't do it that often it might not be worth it for you.
If you have sex often and aren't using a condom, because either you're in a stable monogamous relationship, or just not thinking. Sperm can leave you smelling pretty rank but that should pass within a couple of days unless you're having sex often. Which I'm only saying this because it's true and I don't mean to insinuate in anyway you are having unprotected sex, I'm not hating I'm just saying.
If you want to douche after a round of treatment for yeast I'd say go for it but wait at least 3 days after your last dose other wise you're going end up with that same problem. And only use half the bottle. Just enough to get most of it flushed out.
If you are just asking because you're just curious about it and have no odor or discharge issues. Then I say stay away from it.
But if do have an odor issue see a doctor first to make sure it's not some type of infection.

Douching is more often than not trustworthy....sure....HOWEVER, it isn't endorsed. It'll rather reduce to rubble your frame's PH, which would snow-ball your already stressful situation right into a better one. It could also be a transitority answer, however would possibly in flip make matters worse. Try consuming LOTS extra water... As a lady, I'm definite you can agree that our "female odors" have a tendancy to difference during our per month cycles...and making the aware attempt to chug down that water rather has made a change for me! Also, you'll be able to consistently set up a detachable bathe head...they rate anyplace from $15 - $50 at Target shops. All in all, even though, I'd keep away from any unnatural "smell-absorbers" and stick with looking what you are setting up your frame from the get-pass. Hope that is helping!

BAD BAD BAD. The vagina is a self cleaning oriface. You should never ever douches or use soaps or other feminine products in this area. This disrupts the natural PH of the vagina setting you up for an infection. The only time a douche is used is when a doctor prescribes it.

Very bad idea! Many studies have shown that douching can actually irritate the area by forcing more foreign substances further inside of you, causing irritations or even infections.
Your body will naturally do it on its own, just get the reachable places in your regular showers.

Don't listen to the guys who say "yes because not cleaning yourself down there is nasty..." what the f-ck does a guy know about having and cleaning a vagina??? NADA. What are they even doing in the women's health section?
Anyway in answer to your question, douching is a BAD idea. I don't need to tell you why, everyone else already did.

It's a bad idea. Douching strips the vagina of good bacteria that helps it to stay balanced and help with cleaning. When the good bacteria is stripped it leaves room for bad bacteria and also fungus to come and set up shop creating infections.

Bad idea. Never douche - not even after sex.
Ask any doctor and they will tell you it's bad.
The vagina cleanses itself always. If you douche, you'll mess up your vagina's natural ph balance and cleansing process and get infections, including the deadly one PID.
Do not douche. Ever.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea. Your body has a natural system for cleaning itself out. That kind of "cleansing" causes a lot more yeast infections. Just soap up down there where applicable (like, not where it's going to irritate you), and bathe regularly. Don't worry about doing bizarre, unnatural things to yourself. x.x Honestly, guys won't be able to tell the difference. You can get clean either way.

Don't listen to the guys you comment... what do they know? Any doctor will tell you that douching is very bad for you. It may cause an infection because it shoots whatever bacteria is in your vagina, up into your cervix and uterus. Also, it ruins your pH balance that the vagina normally has to protect itself against infections.

I've always heard it isn't a good thing. I think douching w/ just water is fine but not w/ actual perfumy douche. I was told it would make me lose the natural chemicals down there and I don't want that to happen!
