Douching is never good. Your body cleans itself. If you have problems "down there" you should see your OB and get it checked out.honoraurora said:Good evening, Just a quick question, I've been researching things that as I'm TTC, what should I stop, start, or slow down on (eg begin taking PNVs, show down on caffeine) I've been getting conflicting info/opinions regarding douching. I usually do it after AF, and maybe once during the month. So, do any of u douche? Do you think that it could have an effect on fertility? I'm curious to know what you all suggest/recommend. Thanks in advance

Yeah you do, get it gurl!bibliothecary said:My vagina doesn’t need to be cleaned up. It smells good already. Don’t try to decorate. Don’t believe them when he tells you it smells like rose petals when it’s supposed to smell like pussy. That’s what they’re doing, trying to clean it up, make it smell like bathroom spray or a garden. All those douche sprays, floral, berry, rain. I don’t want my pussy to smell like rain. All cleaned up like washing a fish after you cooked it. I want to taste the fish. That’s why I ordered it.

Re: to douche or not to douche? (this may be tmi?!?!)
@jennycam yes, I've been doing it since I was around 20 or so (I'm 25 now!)...my RE didn't say anything at my initial visit but I've never really asked either.
Lol
