That is a method used to rinse out the vaginal interior. You use a mild solution. Most are prepackaged and ready to use now, insert the little end and rinse out the interior area of the vagina. It is not recommended to do on a regular basis as it can cause your delicate inner lining to become unbalanced pH wise or to get some sort of yeast problem.
Douche. It is the process of cleaning the female genitals by irrigation, usually with water.
