∙ 8y agoAlthough it's not dangerous, it's also not good for you. It can mess up your pH balance and cause a lot of bad smelling discharge. We are supposed to have a normal amount of discharge which isn't supposed to be washed away. Your body will be working overtime to get it back to normal and it could cause problems.

∙ 13y agoYes! The vagina is selfcleaning so douching is not necessary and it can mess up the natural flora of the vagina and make it easier for you it get infections. If you do it because you think it smells bad it can be the douching that makes it smell bad. So if you have that problem you should seek a doctor and not douching.

Can douching delay your period?
No, douching doesn't effect your period at all - when your period is due is determined by your menstrual cycles, nothing about douching could effect this.

What is the benefit of douching with alum?
There is no benefit to douching with alum. Douching in general is unhygienic and unhealthy as it can change vaginal pH so allow for harmful bacterial growth, it can force harmful bacteria further up into the vagina, and it can wash away discharge needed to protect the vaginal walls. Douching with alum is claimed to tighten the vagina, but the vagina cannot be tightened and nor should anyone want to as a tight vagina is a bad thing - a vagina will only be tight if a woman is tense or not fully aroused, thus sex wouldn't be as enjoyable and may cause pain or vaginal tissue damage.

Can you douch while on your period will it stop?
You should never douche, it is bad for vaginal hygiene and health. Your vagina is self-cleaning, discharge flushes out dead cells and an acidic pH maintains healthy bacterial balance - douching effects vaginal pH, washes away lubrication needed to protect vaginal tissues, and can force harmful bacteria further into the vagina. Douching can increase risks of vaginal infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, TSS, and STD's. Douching will not stop menstruation. Menstruation is when the uterus lining is shed, it is controlled by hormones throughout your menstrual cycle. Douching cleans-out the vaginal canal so has zero effect on your uterus and no effect on your menstrual cycle.
