View Full Version : A bit personal, but what does "douche" mean?

Sorry, this is a bit of a personal thing...
I read on one of the pregnancy websites that it's not recommended to "douche" when pregnant.
I have heard before of a "douche bag" which is for rising out the vagina internally.
I don't use this, but as I do get a bit of discharge down there I like to rinse myself out well in the shower (I have a shower head that comes off the wall and is handheld). I was wondering if this is considered douching? I don't feel properly clean if I don't do this, but am I just meant to wash with soap and water on the outside only, does anyone know?
Thanks, Hels.

it does mean washing your self interaly which is not recomened in pg as it normal to have discharge as long as it doesnt smell and is not yellow in colour you should only wash externaly hope this helps
