So what exactly are you supposed to use a Douche for?

I have to periodically, though only with a warm water rinse or salted water, but I am also a post-op transsexual who is still physically adapting to my new body, and forming a proper balance of chemicals. Plus, I need to slough off any healed and superfluous dead skin and blood and (copious amounts of) lube. ^.^

Jamie, you've given us the only good reason to douche--when it's recommended by your gyno, particularly after surgery. There's really no other time, Conrad, when douching is a good idea.

well how do u get rid of that odor after ur cycle???

After your cycle, you should take a basin (like the ones they give away at the hospital or the ones you wash your feet in) fill it with comfortably warm water and a quarter sized amount of summer's eve feminine wash and mix it in. Then sit over the basin and gently wash the area, making sure water does not go directly inside the vagina. Then do the same thing but with clean warm water.

I have used pan leaf (Betle leaf)to douche recently. I boiled the water and the pan leafs, use some of it for douching and some of it I drank it. I think I just wanted to experiment a traditional way to cure candida infection or vaginitis. I still not sure if i did was right.
