Why do people douche at all?

Question

I've been reading some things and it seems like douching isnt healthy or useful at all? Like, it throws off the pH balance and other stuff. Whats the use?

Answer 1

You are correct. Douching does throw off the pH balance and can make a woman more susceptible to various infections. A woman should never douche, unless it is specifically prescribed by a doctor, in which case he or she will likely provide the patient with a recipe for a natural douche.

Answer 2

There's really no point in it hygeinically; the v****a cleans itself completely. I think that people do it because it helps them FEEL cleaner or fresher, or it just feels good.  

Answer 3

smell.  some women are self conscience about the way they smell down there.  all u need to to is keep ur self clean with just plain water and cotton underwear (they let u breathe down there) ur just walking around ur house (or just the bedroom) naked for awhile when u don't feel so fresh.

Answer 4

ah, some women want to feel a little "fresher", so they rinse that thing out, simple as that!!!!

Answer 5

They want to feel like they're clean. That's all.
