Don't bother . . .: Unless you have specific signs or symptoms of infection, douches are not recommended for cleaning or decolonizing your vagina. All those products do is to irritate your vaginal mucosa and upset both pH & microbial balance. If you do have an infection, go see your FamilyDoc or GYN for evaluation & testing which will indicate which antibiotic is appropriate.
