Is it actually bad to douche?

sexylovinggirl69 is aboslutely right in so many words. It is not good to EVER douche. Not even every once in a while. There is good bacteria inside your vagina doing a GOOD job. Anything introduced into the vagina cause disruption but most of the time, the bacteria recovers without any incedents. Douching however, washes away all the good stuff in there and when those little friendly bacteria aren’t there to protect the inside of your vagina, a nasty little infection happens. Women have got to realize the natural odor of their vagina is not BAD! A vagina is not meant to smell like roses or candy. It smells like a vagina. You can compare it to nothing. All you need to do is wash yourself daily with warm water. Do not stick a soapy finger inside thinking you are cleaning yourself. Think of nature when you think about your vagina like so many people think of their booboo holes. EXIT ONLY. One thing was intended to go into a vagina and one thing is meant to come out. Unless you are having your yearly papsmear for good health, keep things out of your vagina unless it is the intended “thing” to be inside. Even better, keep the “things” out, too.

It is funny to me that one of the slang words for a vagina is “cat”. Ironic maybe, a cat cleans itself and so does your vagina. :)

Nice job sexylovinggirl69!

OMG!!! Are u serious? Did u really ask this. Douching is very bad for you. It kills the natural bacteria and lubricant that the vagina normally makes. Do ya stink? HAHAHHAHAHHA your so silly, but i love you!

harley1375 is absolutely correct and gb1234 is very wrong. (sorry gb1234) It is very important that women do not douche. As stated more than once, a vagina cleans itself even after a period. It does not “start to stink” after a period. All health care professionals will confirm harley1375’s advice. Please ask a doctor to get the best answer and the most accurate information for good health.

Unless you have an infection, which can be treated if you see your Doctor, there is no need to put anything inside your vagina to clean it. The vagina is self cleaning. Daily washing of yourself should be sufficient to keep the outside of you clean. If you have a smelly discharge then see your doctor otheriwse don’t douche. As one of the ladies above says, vagina doesn’t smell of roses it smells of vagina, but if you are worried at all about a vagina smell you have, see your doctor.

its really bad to douche bc ur vagina has natural bacteria killing things and u can flush them all out which isnt good idk what it fully does but it takes the bad out as well as good if u douche

I would never suggest it. I’ve done it once and I got a BAD yeast infection!

Once in a while is okay. Dont do it a lot itll dry up your system. which is bad.

Your body creates it’s own personal ph level, and when you use douche, it affects that ph level resulting in yeast infections and vaginosis. Your va.gina is a self-cleaning organ, and you should be fine washing with just water.
