For instance, doctors will use a peroxide douche to clean out your ears when they get too much wax in them. There are two types of devices used to do this. One is an oversized syringe (sometimes called "needles" - but technically the needle is just the pokey part, and obviously for this there is no pokey part). The other looks kinda like a deformed turkey baster - its got a bag at the end of a little tube.
Most non-doctors use the word douche to mean the cleaning out of the vagina. This is usually done with over the counter mixes that come with the second type of douche applicator - the one with a bag. So encountering the word "douche bag" most likely refers to that.
