Should I douche before or after I have a shower?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

It is bad to douche. So don't do it.

If the odor is really bad then you need to see a doctor. It is normal to have a slight odor and that is fine.

And the white fluid is normal as well. Especially if you are younger, it is there to help you get pregnant should the time come.

Don't douche, the fluid is meant to be cleaning you out, and when you take the fluid away, you dry up and then the vagina gets really gross and could cause infections this way.

Just use pantyliners. I get fluid all the time and it's annoying but if you use pantyliners, the fluid won't go on your panties. :)

Douching is really bad idea, it can cause infections. White fluid is normal, by the way. The odor could just be old semen that is leaking out.

Never douche...it upsets the chemical balance of your body.

after you shower

Paper Clip is right....never douche....you are only pushing all the bad bacteria back into your body.

In between.

Tell your BF not to *** inside!

you should never douche. it has been proven to do more harm than good

that is Normal discharge- no need to douche- in fact douches are not that good for you

Vaginal discharge is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation (the release of the egg), there is a lot of mucous produced, up to 30 times more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.

The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.


?Different Types of Discharge
?Is this normal?
Different Types of Discharge
White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test.


A normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 milliliters) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.

It is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period.
