douching
Vaginal cleansing practice
Douching is the practice of flushing the vagina with water or other solutions, typically using a squeeze bottle or bag with a nozzle.
Once promoted for hygiene, douching is now discouraged by medical professionals as it disrupts natural bacterial balance: Her doctor advised against douching.
The term also applies to any similar rinsing procedure.
