A member asked:
Is douching every now and then safe at all? what are they used for really?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
