I can help with cleaning but it can also
lead to a yeast infection. There is
something called vagisil cream cleanser
and you put it on, and wipe it off to
help, douching is not the best though.
Its supposed to clean and freshen you down
there, but I dont think its too good to
use.

I've heard lots of different things about
douching. For some women it works for
others it does'nt. It's suppossed to
clean you and give you a temporary nice
smell. However, if you use it too much or
improperly, it could be dangerous! There
are creams and liquids, I personally have
never tried the cream, so I don't know
about that. The first time I used douche
it kind of burned, but the second time it
made me feel clean, and better. I guess
use both and see what works for youi, or
ask a doctor.
Just a side note--douche does not kill
sperm. Don't try to use it as a form of
birth control after the fact!

You can douche once a month at the most.
For those times when you want to feel
clean in between... Save a bottle when
you do douche. Rinse it out really good
and refill it with water. Use this to
clean yourself after sex. It just rinses
out and doesn't cause yeast infections.

This is just my opinion, but I do not
recommend doing it. I personally never
have. However, my doctor has told me on
severl occasions not to ever do it. Of
course I am very sensitive down there and
can get an infection in a matter of a
second. Everyone does experience a
little odor now and then. If it does not
go away within a couple of days from
bathing it may be caused from an infection
that douche would probably make worse.
The feminine deodorant spray also gives me
infections, so you may not want to use
that either! I don't know exactly how it
works, but it is a cleaning solution that
I believe you somehow get into your you
know what and it washes the inside of you.
(sorry, I could not think of any other
way to describe it, somebody else might
want to help her with what it actually is)
but I hear the term used so often i'm just
wondering what exactly it is and how and
why to do it. Douche? What exactly is
