Question: Are you supposed to douche? If so,...

Don't douche. The vagina cleans itself naturally.

My mom use to douche because that's what her doctor told her to do and she ended up losing two babies. Come to find out your vagina has a natural way to douche.

Eurgh I can't even imagine doing that. Isn't it a weird pump thing and you just push it and it pushes loads of water into you? I definitely wouldn't recommend doing that. I think it's a religious thing too, (not sure) where people feel 'dirty' on the inside and out so they feel like they have to flush all the bad stuff out. But the vagina is 'self cleaning' anyway, so you don't need to. Just use something like FemFresh wipes that will clean you and help keep ph balance up.

Every once in a while can be good, in case you have some funky stuff going on you haven't caught yet, and if a doctor tells you to. It is not always bad!

Yes I heard that too. And I agree that's it's not very beneficial health wise.

Douching is BAD! If you keep it up, it can actually destroy the lining of the vagina! I can think of NO reason to do one. I think that douching must have been thought of by a man who had no clue how the female body works!

Don't ever douche!!! But if you wants to clean, outside down there, I'd recommend Fem Fresh, its a PH balanced body wash specially formulated for down there. They also do wipes and talc.

I did it once and cried the whole time. It was painful especially since I'm a "small" girl. Never again! Never!

I tried once and cried. Never again!
