Is douching safe to do?

Not needed: Vaginal douching can alter the natural pH of the vagina rendering you susceptible to vaginal infections. Theoretically can push bacterias into the cervix and uterus as well.

Not really : Douching is not recommended. It kills off the natural bacteria that protects and cleans the vagina by maintaining normal pH balance. Douching sets you up for frequent yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis.

Likely yes.: This helps clean things out, and as long as other things, like showers are done should be no trouble as long as it is done correctly, according to instructions. Good personal hygiene, along with regular and appropriate visits to the doctor is likely the best way to be safe.

It carries risks: The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists recommends AGAINST Douching.
