OK, So I've read a article about not douching. It says that it takes longer for women to get pregnant and even when they do they have a higher chance of having a etopic pregnancy. Also it stated that you can get bacterial vaginosis (Kind of like a yeast infection) easier. This sucks after reading it because I ahve always douched. I don't ever FEEL clean until I do. Which is once a week or week and a 1/2. Can I empty the contents of the bottle and just use water? Is that any less harmful or about the same? (link)
Hiya,

Douching is not accepted as an effective form of birth control, doctors discourage it as a method of birth control as it can sometimees PUSH the sperm further into your uterus!
Some reports have concluded that douching is harmful and should be discouraged because of its association with pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, and perhaps other conditions.
Most women douche in an to attempt to cleanse the vaginal area, this is probably not a good idea. The vagina has its own natural cleaning system that flushes out bacteria. So not only do the chemicals and perfumes in feminine sprays and douches not help, they can actually cause problems like allergic reactions or infections in the vagina.
The best thing you can do is leave your body to do what it is meant to and take frequent baths.

Take care.
