Feminine Hygiene Question?!

Feminine Hygiene Question?
Ladies I know doctors and females alike say douching is bad for you. So I would like to know what you all think about using vinegar in your bath water and perhaps summers eve feminine wash. I'm trying to learn as much as I can so that I get a thorough understanding of feminine hygiene. Ladies I don't want to be ignorant on the matter. I hope you all understand my quest for knowledge instead of me being another dumb guy saying dumb things about feminine hygiene. Any and all responses are welcome.

I know from time to time like once every 5-10 years using a douche won't hurt as long as it is mild, what I'm trying to see is how do females get that clean and fresh feeling. I know the va-jayjay (Grey's Anatomy term lol) is a very sensitive part. I would like to be educated and not sound like "some dumb guy" For instance if a woman says she doesn't feel fresh, I don't want to associate her freshness with her needing to douche. I guess when I was growing up I saw too many of those commercials on t.v. and it kind of stuck with me :)

Also ladies I realize that every woman has her own unique smell, so please don't assume that I think the va-jayjay is supposed to smell like flowers or something, I'm just asking about the day to day care of it.
Answers:
Using vinegar in your bath water will be hard on your skin due to the acid. I don't recommend ANY famine sprays, powders or washes due to the fragrance in them promote infections from yeast to bacteria. It is true that Douching can upset the PH balance of the vagina and cause infections from yeast to bacteria but using douche ONCE IN A GREAT WHILE will not hurt anyone if you use a mild vinegar and water douche.
However, you can sit in a baking soda bath and it will not hurt anything instead of using vinegar. All woman weather they want to admit it or not have an odor to them, just some have a stronger odor than others and it's usually related to either an infection or PH upset. I hope this helps and gives you a better understanding.
