You don't have to, but it's healthy.
Douche every month or every other month after your period.

Douching is actually not recommended by most gynocologists. It increases your risk of cervical cancer and can create infections. just get your annual every year and you'll be fine.

Douching isn't healthy.
So don't do it unless you absolutely feel it's neccessary.

The vagina is a self-cleaning organ, meaning it doesnt need a douche. Plus, that actually pushes the stuff back up. When women use it to wash out the sperm, it could actually really work against them bceause its pushin the sperm more up closer to the uterus.
Soo you really dont need to use it, the vajay works on its own.

Well, I don't use one and I never have & I'm sexually active. But a lot of females in my family said they use them everytime after they have sex. I guess it's up to you. I've heard that they're good to use but I've also heard that they can cause infections. Next time you go to your doctor ask them what the best thing to do is. ♥

Most doctors feel that douches actually do the opposite of what they are supposed to. The basic premise is that by pushing water up inside you it washes out any bacteria - but when the water moves up inside you the bacteria moves with it, thus defeating the purpose.
I would just suggest you got to your local grocery store and purchase a gentle vaginal wash such as Vagisil.
