Embarrassed??

Question

So guys I was in my anatomy class today and these two boys asked me if I have douched before... I literally had never heard of it before so I asked them what it was and they explained and asked me “do you not clean your vagina?” I do, but I’ve never douched before.. is this something to be ashamed of? They made me feel very uncomfortable. Just wondering..

Answer

You are not supposed to douche

Answer

Douching is very unhealthy. Your vagina mostly cleans itself, just rinse!

Answer

Next time tell them your body is none of their damn business. The nerve of some people..

Answer

its unhealthy to douche, even tho my doctors a dumbass and said to douche for my repetitive yeast infections (like at least 3 times a month)

Answer

Douching will mess up the delicate pH balance in there. Your vagina has its own ecosystem and a lot of good bacteria. Douching (as well as antibiotics) can kill off good bacteria and cause the overgrowth of other bacteria. That’s how you get a yeast infection. 
Don’t listen to those boys. They’re idiots. tell them to take a microbiology class.

Answer

Everyone else has said it, douching is bad for your vagina. The boys were idiots, ignore their ignorance.

Answer

No you aren’t supposed to douche. The inside of your vagina cleans itself and it’s sensitive to any foreign substances, so douches can actually cause infections. Boys (especially uneducated ones 🙄) have no business talking about shit they don’t understand...
