This is not a good idea. All data on douching ("vaginal wash") show it to be harmful: it alters the natural bacterial composition of the vagina in ways that seriously increase risk of bacterial vaginosis and susceptibility to STIs, including PID, the main serious complication of STI in women. No woman should douche routinely and creating a product that promotes it is inappropriate.
