Hygiene Misconceptions

Douches are meant to help relieve the vaginal area from odour and provide an overall cleanse after a woman’s menstrual cycle. It is good to be clean, but some man-made items do more harm than good. Douches can remove the good bacteria that resides in the vagina to keep a woman healthy. Messing up the composition of this bacteria can make the area more prone to infections. Douches may also spread harmful bacteria around if it is already present in the vagina. Though it needs a bit of assistance, the vagina has a system for cleaning itself.
