alright, so this year, one of my friends discovered douches and she's been using them since. then she introduced me to them. has anyone ever used them? i've never seen one since now and i tried one out to see what it was like last week, i'm not sure if i used it right, heh.i'm only using it to clean myself more thoroughly. i don't have like an STD or anything. it says to use it at certain times like after a period's over or something, and i was wondering if it was effective for anyone else who uses them.i dunno about them?
-
Kind of an embarrassing question...
-
I believe douches are now not recommended, on the grounds that they wash out natural secretions that should be there, and could potentially introduce bacteria.
-
They can be OK to use occasionally. Don't use ones with excessive "fresheners" and other stuff. Douches can throw off the PH balance in the vagina and create other problems.
-
ok thanks for the tips. i heard they can also cause yeast infections? not sure bout that.
-
I have used one before... Before a fun filled night. Just wanted to make sure it was clean in there... Yeah know??? But I agree they don't recommend using them all the time...
-
I once asked my GYN about douching and she told me to steer clear of them as they can sometimes even worsen certain problems or symptoms.
-
You're joking, right?
-
I doubt it. Why do you think he's joking?
-
Cuz douching is for girls.
-
Umm yeah, but he's gay and... you know... he had some activities planned.
-
Didn't know that.
I remember when I was a highschool sex educator, and a guy asked me wha would happen if a guy douched. I told him to go home and try it and report back. Smart ass.
