Douching with Warm Water

Are there any women out there who have used warm water to douche with, particularly when in their periods. Does it generate as nice a warm sensation as an enema?

I always douche with warm water it doesnt sexually affect me but it makes me feel fresher

My wife uses warm ish water not cold but only on occasion like after sex or random times. I am pretty sure its not something should do when someone is actually on their period only when its finished. If ever seen someone douching its certainly not like an enema as it isn't retained and comes out almost as quick as you put it in so don't imagine it feels similar.

Douching during your period is the WORST POSSIBLE time to do it. The cervix is open and you are asking for a pelvic infection.

Douching is really not a good idea anyway because the balance of bacteria in the vagina could get messed up. Vaginas can clean themselves and a douche is just not needed.

Doesn't feel like much as far as I'm concerned.

I use warm water with vinegar and salt when I douche. I use the same recipe my mom used and her mother before her - 10 tablespoons of vinegar plus 4 teaspoons of salt in a two quart douche bag. They also used a very small amount of ivory soap as well but I don't. That is rather more vinegar than most women use but that is the amount mom used and my first Gyno recommended when I got fitted for my first diaphragm years ago.

That is NOWHERE near a physiologic solution for the vagina.

You want a solution with a pH in the vicinity of 4.7 and you will get that by adding about 20 ml vinegar to a liter of water. The salt should be 9 grams per liter.

Five ounces of vinegar in two quarts of solution is too acidic for the vaginal flora.
