I have 1 more day left on my cycle is it ok to douche. i only douche once a month?

Better to not: It's better to avoid douching if you can. Douching removes the lactobaccilli from your vagina, this is the good bacteria that keeps the vagina healthy. But if your question is, is it safe to douche, the answer is yes, you won't harm your reproductive organs, only possibly dry out the vagina and remove your 'good' vaginal bacteria. Best of luck!
