Douche?- no really

[Anonymous]

Sorry in advance for the TMI...after a recent miscarriage, I havve found that my period is totally wacky for several reasons but most annoyingly, now a few days after it seems that my period is "over" I have a bunch of dark, leftovers[u] that seem to make their way over the next few days. I remember those goofy ads way back when for Massengil and the like and wonder if this is what they were for, can I really rinse away the leftovers? Oh what I wouldn't give for a bidet.....

douching just cleanses the vagina. The left overs are coming from your uterus, where the douche doesn't really go. It certainly could make you feel more fresh, but the stuff is still going to come when it wants to.

panty liners.

Yeah, I have never MC'd, but I am heading toward menopause and so I get those leftovers.

Panty liners are your friend.

Douching is bad... totally knocks off your body's natural PH. Leads to nasty yeast infections, etc. Stay away. Hang in there (I am sorry for your loss) but your body will re-regulate itself soon.
