NO! It is unhealthy. It's a REALLY outdated notion that you should douche. It strips away the HEALTHY bacteria from your vagina and can actually cause yeast infections (because the healthy bacteria keep yeast in check.) The perfumes in them can also cause irritation. You only need plain water to wash the inside of your vagina and a mild soap to scrub the outside.
Never douche. The vagina is self cleaning. When you douche, you throw off the natural balance and you will be more prone to infections.
i wouldn't recommend douching
No way. It could cause an infection because of an imbalance of your vagina's natural bacteria.
Why the heck does your mom want you to stary douching is the question...
Do not douche. It is not healthy. You have a natural balance of bacteria and douching can and will effect that. If your mom insists that you do this ask her to go to your MD with her and he will tell her that you should not douche.
do not douche. your vagina already self cleans itself so there is no need. also, when you douche you clean out not only the bad stuff but also the good bacteria that keeps you healthy.
my advice is to do whatever you feel comfortable with. i personally choose not to douche.
hope it helps:)
NO U SHOULD SUCK
