Most doctors will dissuade you from douching, due to the natural PH balance of the vagina and the fear of causing an infection. The vagina is considered a self cleaning organ. The mucus at different times of the month are all part of that system.
There maybe times when a woman feel the need to use a douche, as long as you only do so occasionally and you have no signs of an infection, vinegar and water is probably the most beneficial and the least likely to cause any problems.
If you are having symptoms of an infection you should always seek a doctors advice before using an OTC product.
A premixed disposable is a good way to go, they are ready to use and contain only vinegar and water.

Could drinking vinegar while pregnant cause a miscarriage?
The short answer is NO, it will not cause a miscarriage. This is an urban legend and a poor one at that. For a more detailed explanation from Planned Parenthood, see: http://www.teenwire.com/ask/2001/as-20010917p280.php Think about it this way, pickles contain vinegar and pregnant women love pickles (or so the stereotype goes) If vinegar caused miscarriages, would pregnant women continue to eat pickles (would we have the stereotype)?
What is the difference between white vinegar and brown vinegar?
The only difference is the caramel coloring added to brown vinegar. Old Wise tales indicate that white vinegar was used for personal hygiene as in doucing for women and brown vinegar was used for cooking. White vinegar can be used for both.
