Tell me about douching - I've heard it's bad for you but don't know why. I've noticed a certain odor about me lately that I don't like and thought perhaps I needed to try something different by way of feminine hygiene.

we have good bacteria up there that keeps us clean, when you douche you flush it making you prone to infections, like yeast infections and worse. Our feminine oder is stronger to us, but it's not like your friends are going 'whoa girl close your legs' :-P but that scent is what attracts men, just as we are attracted to the scent of certain men, weather you are aware of it or not. Use douche ONLY after your period, the directions say once a week, but even that is too much. And don't use soap down there every day either, those yeast infections are a B*tch!
you should look back on the questions on here because someone not too long ago posted the same question and she got a lot of advice so maybe you should take a look =D
thanks - I had looked before I posted the question, but apparently I didn't look back far enough. You're right - there was good information there.
if the smell down there gets bad you need to douche. it is not bad at all. i use it every three months or so.
