A member asked:
Would letting water run into your vagina and then letting it come back be like douching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Douching: Yes. It seems that cleansing the vagina is a good idea. But it changes the natural eco system of the micro-organisms that is essential to vaginal health. Limit the douching to no more than once a week.
