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.
