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)

Get out of the habit, it doesn't make you any cleaner and causes a lot of problems for many woman. It just serves no positive purpose. I understand about that clean feeling, but it just isn't good for you. Start cutting back until you have completely stopped. Water isn't really all that better, it still can upset the balance of microorgansims that need to be in your body.

I asked this question and you and one other person answered. The other person just went to the website and copy & pasted everything I said in my question! Thank you though for your advice. Makes sense that water can still upset the balance.
