We can't help it if our vaginas can't spit....
So long story short, I know someone that told me she's never d, which disturbs me, that would be like not using a q-tip in your ear, you can't just wash the thing like your arm...

Is Douching Healthy?http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/azh...agdouching.htm
Simply stated, the answer is "No."
According to a study published by the American Journal of Public Health, douching may reduce a woman's chance of becoming pregnant during a particular month by approximately thirty percent.
Regular vaginal douching changes the delicate chemical balance of the vagina and can make a woman more susceptible to infections. Douching can introduce new bacteria into the vagina which can spread up through the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Researchers have found that women who regularly experience more vaginal irritations and infections such as bacterial vaginosis, and an increased number of sexually transmitted diseases.
Furthermore, regular users of vaginal s face a 73% greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) -- a chronic condition that can lead to infertility, or even death, if left untreated. Bacterial vaginosis and PID can have serious adverse affects on pregnancy including infections in the baby, labor problems, and preterm delivery.
For these reasons, douching is no longer recommended as a safe or healthy way to routinely clean the vagina. The only safe and healthy way to clean the vagina is to let the vagina clean itself. The delicate chemical balance of the vagina is very sensitive and easily disrupted by routine vaginal douching.
How does the vagina clean itself?
The vagina cleans itself naturally with its own mucous secretions. When bathing or showering use warm water and gentle unscented soap to cleanse the outer areas of the vagina. Feminine hygiene products such as soaps, powders, and sprays are not necessary and may lead to irritation of sensitive tissues.
If soap and water aren't cutting it, try antibiotics.
betadine.
If she has never d, she might be healthier than women who do it regularly. The chemicals in those things have no business being anywhere near the most sensitive parts of your body. Same thing goes for scented tampons.
There are women who still ?
...you ain't kindding!

ear candles work pretty well (when done properly without setting hair on fire). paper itself is a bad idea.

I feel you stole my thread.
vagina wax is the best part
I've never d. My regular doctor and gyno both told me it was not necessary to in order to have a clean vagina/cervix/uterus. My regular doctor did tell me that if I felt I HAD to , to either use a bottle or turkey baster and use plain water.
this doesn't lessen the effectiveness of calling someone a bag!
Or a douchnozzle.

Frequent Yeast Infections May Be Linked To Certain Vaginal Bacteria Ecosystems
Science Daily — University of Idaho study shows normal vaginal biology and conditions that make women prone to diseases. Silence may impact women’s health since few women or their doctors are comfortable talking about vaginal health openly. This hesitation, combined with a limited understanding of the differences between women, can lead to misinformation, misdiagnosis and potentially ineffective treatments.
Research at the University of Idaho is helping to increase understanding about normal vaginal biology so that physicians can better identify conditions that make women prone to infections and other diseases, and avoid the development of health problems.
“Women suffer from insidious health problems, including bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections, and those problems send them in droves to seek medical treatment,” said Larry Forney, a professor of biology at the University of Idaho. “Unfortunately, prescribed treatments aren’t necessarily effective because doctors don’t understand distinctive differences in the microbial composition of the vagina among women.
Forney’s interdisciplinary team of researchers found that the microbial ecosystem of the human vagina varies greatly among women. Those differences can lead to conditions that, if not diagnosed and treated correctly, may leave some women susceptible to a range of infections, including sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV.
His research team compared the type of vaginal bacteria in a representative group of Caucasian and black women in North America. Three major findings emerged from the study: there are at least eight kinds of normal vaginal bacterial communities, each community is different, and, among the eight kinds of communities, some bacterial communities are unique to one or the other racial group.
“Understanding the differences between these normal vaginal communities is the key to developing effective treatment and keeping women healthy,” Forney said. “For example, with this new insight into the vaginal ecosystem, we will be able to better understand a woman’s risk to disease and individual health care needs, and assist doctors and women to make more informed decisions about health issues and treatment plans.”
“It’s important for us to understand that the bacterial landscape in vaginas is different in different women and that’s normal,” Forney said. “Every speck of the human body has bacteria and those bacteria, including bacteria in the vagina, play a role in maintaining the body’s health.”
A healthy vagina is populated with lactic acid-producing bacteria, explained Forney. The environment maintains a low pH balance that inhibits the growth of pathogens. “The vagina is elegant in its simplicity,” he said. “A healthy vagina maintains itself and is able to self-correct when minor imbalances occur.”
When conditions in the vagina change the pH balance dramatically, harmful bacteria can invade and cause infections. When the pH is imbalanced, a condition known as bacterial vaginosis can develop; the condition is not well understood and is marked by several indicators including elevated pH levels and vaginal discharge. If left untreated or if treatment fails, the condition can predispose a woman to harm from sexually transmitted disease, including HIV.
Forney stressed the importance of the research team’s findings because they may:
shed light on why some women have recurrent vaginal yeast infections, while others have never had one;
partly explain differences in susceptibility to infection in the two racial groups, based upon the relative frequency of different kinds of bacterial communities in women.
Forney also said differences in the kinds of bacteria normally present in the vagina might mean that vaginal odor is normal for some women and not an indication of an underlying health problem.
The research has personal meaning for Forney as well. “I am vitally concerned about women’s health issues because I’ve got two daughters and I know that these issues will affect them.”
Forney’s team includes Xia Zhou, Celeste Brown and James Foster, from the department of biological sciences, University of Idaho; and Zaid Abdo and Paul Joyce, from the departments of mathematics and statistics department, University of Idaho.
The team’s most recent research is published in the International Society for Microbial Ecology Journal (2007) 1, 121-133.

I my asshole.
Tmi
With semen?
(Sorry, just teasing! I couldn't help myself!)
So I count seven more SpursTalk women PM5K has alienated.
I didn't realize there were any that he HADN'T alienated yet
Douching is unhealthy but that has already been said several time, so my post serve no purpose.
