Douches, not to be confused with the popular cleaning brand, are a personal hygiene tool used primarily for rinsing the vagina or anus. While some argue that regular use is necessary for maintaining cleanliness, others believe they can disrupt the natural bacterial balance and even increase the risk of infections. Regardless of personal preference, it's important to remember that proper hygiene can be achieved through regular bathing and gentle cleansing with water and mild soap. Always consult with a healthcare professional for any concerns regarding personal hygiene practices.
