I didn't even know this was a thing until I saw Sausage Party 😂
me 2 LOL last night // greets from Sweden.
I was so confused at what the Douche in sausage party actually was!
Exactly why I searched this up
OMG me too Uh Nuh
Uh Nuh same
Am I the only one (girl) here who has never heard of this before (and finds it slightly terrifying).
I know right! My mom had these and I played with them... most weren't completely filled.
Yes I’m a (boy) and I have never heard of this before (and find it slightly terrifying) too.
Two of my ex's never douche and their vags smelled rotten.
My ex's that did douche got to enjoy me goin down whenever they wanted.
Terrified? Maybe you need to watch videos that are about why women should douche. 💯
Elise Weusthuis same gurl never heard of this
musicfan6991 you shouldn’t douche because it leads it infections like vaginosis and yeast infections. It might smell better but it’s not worth the heath risks
All these guys on here saying that their women should douche because they want a woman who doesn't smell...all these guys completely missed the point. Read carefully now. Douches make a girl smell. They mess with your pH balance inside, resulting in yeast infections, and they wash away good bacteria, resulting in bacterial infections. Yeast infections and bacterial infections smell really bad and douching causes this. So when you say that your girl should douche so that she smells good, you are being stupid. It's like saying that you want your girl to roll in dirt so that she will be clean. You missed the point in the video. I've made the point twice in this post. Are you still confused?
+Megan Rhode The guys on here are complete retards.
+KittySnicker Most of them really don't seem to be able to understand the concept of two plus two equals four, huh?
Megan Rhode
Clearly! haha
...or it's like saying that you want your girl to roll in bleach so that you wouldn't get STDs... (face palm).
Well I didn't know what a douche does until people said to look it up so 🤷♀️
I'm here because of Sausage Party
Kingdeme ME FUking TOOO
me too but am 15 year old
Kingdeme me too
same
Kingdeme me too
"Being a girl is the best." I laughed out loud.
No it's worse cause how people act now
@@riokad5863 Las que Duran mucha gente
Upgrade to mouthwash ladies😷2020.. What...
@@imnautic9238 No it’s better to be a woman today than a woman 50 years ago.
Wow what a "douche"
"Don't be afraid of the vagina"
I'll try not to, but it keeps me up at night ;_;
Toot Woot. I like it your so right 👍👍👍❤️.
Ladies, most guys really don't mind vaginal scent that much or even like it. As long as it's not strong enough to warrant suspicion of infections and such, don't worry about it.
Tbh the girls who douche have a repugnant smell. I prefer the natural one.
Your mom voice was so damn perfect.
I'm pretty sure this is an all America thing because I've never heard of this thing. I thought you were on about showers for a while.
Not really, it's an uncommon thing everywhere.
nope they are only supposed to smell like vaginas. Each is apparently unique to its own.
+ZOZO GOGO u telling me that's you identify as male on the internet holds no purpose to this convo in my opinion with all these damn labels now a days it really is irrelevant to this.
you must go face down in tons of them, thats what girls do these days.
I'm American, I didn't know what this was before watching the video
Just a reminder that while douching is unnecessary you should pee after vaginal intercourse, especially if you didn't use a condom. It helps prevent UTIs :)
That's actually true. I used to go to sleep right after and ended up getting a really bad infectiom. I go after everytime now.
Why is that? pee doesn't come out from the vagina...
***** thanks! That makes sense ☺
Even when using a condom, it's a good practice to pee, because there are still all sorts of liquids, sweat, and epidermal cells going around.
+Britt Donahue You're right, My G.P. told me it can also help prevent Cystitis which once upon a time they called Honey Mooner's Disease back in the day when that was when partners first had sex.
My ex douched all the time and I am convinced it did 2 things. It destroyed the natural environment in her body and that increased her thinking she needed to do it more. It became an obsession which ultimately ruined our intimacy. Ladies, DON'T DO IT!

Phillyjohn1776 Lol are you from Philly? I went to high school in North Philly.
and it increases the risk of developing an HPV. STD. Cervical cancer. Tell her to stop !
Daisy where did you get this information?
Showering and drinking water and a gentle flush now and then with some bicarb. Ez wins
OMG the conversation between the mom and the daughter was SO FUNNY!
There was a time, before about the early 1960 there was NO other treatment for yeast infection than an Iodine Douche. Daily Iodine douch was reccommended for treatment of active yeast infections and iodine douches 2- times per month once you'd had a bad one to keekp them away
By the early 1960s Providine, the synthetic, and less toxic form of iodine was available and providine is still used for large abrasive injuries like wiping out at speed on a bike or similar.
Just about the time word was really out about Providine, The myconazol nitrate creams were developed for yeast infection. For reasons that weer partly sexist, partly just paranoid of a new product that behaved so differently than what was there before, Myconozol Nitrate didn't come off prescription till I was working in a pharmacy in the 1980s.
Most women in their 20s and 30s have NO CLUE what their grandmothers and in some cases their mothers went through with yeast infections, or how luck they are for ll that research coming to fruition!!
You are brilliant. Could you do an episode on why the word "douche" is used as a derogatory term to refer to liars, cheaters and jerks?
You are great! Seriously thanks! Your helping a lot of females. Your video was informative and entertaining. And I feel like I learned a lot. Keep up the good work!
a yogurt a day keeps the smelly's away.
So does cutting back on sugar.
Blow-Up Bunny
good point. and most yogurt is rife with added sugar. supermarket pro-biotics have not been proven all that effective for most of the claims they make. only a matter of time before a class action suit settles that.
Leksi W
That's why my family uses just the plain Greek yogurt. My mother eats it just like that, but I have to blend it with fruit to make a smoothie. It's better for me and cures my sweet tooth. If I'm _really_ naughty I add agave. I don't know if it's better for me, but I use less of it than sugar and honey so that's a bonus.
@@LeksiW that's why I suggest Yogurt brands like Fage or Sigi's
lol just pop some baking soda in your bath to neutralize the water, and let your muscles do the work. I've been doing this for at least 27-ish years and I've never had any problems.
I wish I had this video when I had "lady talks" with my old co-workers. They thought it was disgusting that I didn't douche and I thought it was disgusting that they did. They pretty much called me a liar when I explained to them that fish is not a smell I have and that the fact that that's what they smell like if _they_ don't douche means there's more to the problem than a little bottle of Hell knows what.
The douche talk never did top the shaving talk though. They thought I was disgusting for keeping things very neat and trim while they went...bald. But they told nothing but horror stories about the infections, sores, scratches, and burns they had from shaving those areas. I might be a little more natural than the modern woman, but compared to those disgusting women at least I'm not smelling like fish and covered in sores. Just sayin'.
Where were you working?!?! Jesus christ
@@adamleckius2253 my thoughts exactly LOL
huh shaving bald causes infections?
@@sammu101 More like it opens you up to them. There are all sorts of nasty creatures on your skin (even after washing) and shaving can cause all sorts of damage to the skin that lets that in. Removing the hair leaves openings and running a blade across your skin can open up micro cuts or abrasions you might not even feel.
On top of that, by increasing the open area of your skin you increase your risk of getting something through skin-to-skin contact as there would now be more skin directly touching skin than there would have been otherwise. After all, it's not just STIs that can be transferred while doing the deed.
But, that kind of choice is all up to the person.
@@Queen_Nyxie oh i see. i don’t think it’s that extreme though, i and most of my friends shave and i’ve never heard of infections, i think if you shave carefully and keep it clean you will be fine. but you’re right it’s a personal choice anyways
Douching is terrible. Never ever do it. It'll make u smell even worse after and throw your ph levels off
So why my girl vagina smell sometimes. I tell her but...I had some that smelt like nothing.
+Leon Thigpen could be cleansing itself at those times or issues going on at that time. have her looked at by a gynecologist to be safe
This was a very awkward, yet highly informative video that you made very interesting. It's like not wanting to look but you can't look away.
Why can't I use a warm water douche. Just using warm water and maybe add a little vinegar to ph balance the water. I heard that's fine. Can I do that?
When I was younger I always got yeast infections and my doctors would ask if I douched and if I did to stop. I didn't even KNOW what douching was until now! after I had my daughter I've yet to have a yeast infection. guess my junk was just off.
My friend tried it..she said it burned for days every time she pee and dryness..I know i took care of her for three weeks aplying ointment to lubricate it and reduce the dryness..please dont try this things..As a man It hurt me to see her in that situation.
Was watching woodrocket videos and got interested in the subject of douching. I like this video cause it's pretty informative. I also read that thing about the tulip being able to clean itself better than I thought. And apparently a lot of feminine hygiene products can make things worst down there. Basically, it's better to be a lot more gentle with the tulip.
I know this is a stupid question but does rinsing with soap and water when showering count?
Am i the only one who got lost watching youtube videos again?
The breeze of an ocean smells like clam chowder... Not like Axe. The only thing douching does is increase the possibilities of yeast infections and itching. I'm so glad that phase didn't last past my early 20's. Nearly a decade later and I couldn't imagine doing it again.
rainydaygirl x I am aware of that.
you look like you got something nice
btw i noticed u covered up the cvs brand on the two but the lid is in plain view in case you may need to edit. Im not sure how it works but just a heads up:)
It's pretty odd that there are things sold in stores that aren't very good for you. Fragrance, preservatives, cigarettes, alcohol, douches... The vagina is self cleansing for a reason. Don't let consumerism dictate what you put in your body.
I looked up “Brain Griffin being a douche.” I didn’t even know this was a thing
Never ever heard of this before.... And I would never do it...
Please talk about menstrual cups. They have changed my life when I am on my period, most of the time I don't even remember I am on my period when I am using it and it saves me SO MUCH money. I can't understand why more people don't use them.
I love my Diva Cup
Because they look scary scary. And because I don’t want to handle a piece of plastic covered in my own blood/organ mush.
@straight jacket nope I dump it out, wipe it with toilet paper and put it back in. Easy peasy. And with a cup you change it less often than a tampon so you are much less likely to have to empty it ina public restroom. You can wait until you are home.
that mother daughter douche recipe part had me cracking up for a few minutes
What do you think about the new Summer's Eve Delicate Blossom Feminine Wash?
Its becoming very popular now.
I love the "do you want your underpants to smell like a casket?"
You are Fun and love your style! But I'm over 50 now and in menopause the dryness in the vagina is very discomforting, I was told to use wheatgrass douche's to help with the systems!! Do you know anything about wheatgrass douche's.
I got told to do it because I had a fire cyst, but to put salt and warm water in a bottle and each time after going to toilet to use it and it worked & it went away.
I was talking to this girl a while ago just about girl stuff.. She brought up douching and I told her I've never done it and she looked at me like I was the dirtiest girl ever lol... I then explained to her that its not good for the V but it didn't seem to go through her head.
I'm 19 and I don't even know what is douching...
My sister in law douches. I accidentally found out... I really wanna tell her about the dangers of it but I don't know how to go about it. Lucky for me, my mom knew what she was talking about and taught me at a young age that the vagina cleans itself out. Never used one before and I'm almost 30.
"If you fucking tell anyone about this... i am gonna deny it, bro!"
cleanliness is important
My Gyno gave the advice of using baby shampoo if you really feel the need to clean. If you are prone to itchiness (but don't have an infection), you can ue baby shampoo every couple of days. it won't damage the mucus membrane since it is designed to not damage eye membranes.
I never see douches in stores. Do women still do this??
Only in America!
I just caught up on your videos and I was shouting 'YES!' very loudly at this one. The idea of douching makes me feel ill, and I know it is TERRIBLE for you. I have a tendency to get very shouty when I hear other women talking about doing it.
Thanks for the great videos! Big podcast fan too. :)
"Douche" is Dutch for shower...
I was (and still am) sooo confused.
"Wait, showering was invented in the twenties?"
I think I kinda get what douching is now... ._.
+Leontien H It's also french for shower... I was just as confused.
+ZachFraser
Yes, I thought this was just a really chic word for showering xD
It’s also the French world for shower. I thought it was just a coincidence
Even i was confused I'm from belgium.
I did that one time and I got a UTI and bladder infection from it! Its horrible!
So glad someone spoke up. Don't do it ladies. Stop letting men who think it's gay to wipe themselves how to care for you feminine health!
"Funereal Home Potpourri" -Favorite Line.
Great video... let me know if you ever want to evaluate a feminine wash.... pH balanced...
yea alot of women really dont understand their own bodies vaginal ph is very important otherwise you can cause bad odors and bacterial overgrowth thats why im strongly against douching.
never hear about that. I'm from Europe. I always wonder what is this douche thing, a lot of times it was mentioned in american comedies. Thank you for clearing that out :P.
In my country none whomen who I ever knew douched . May be some treatments for some infections might have had a treatment which involved douching with some liquid medicine , but now most treatments are creams or vaginal supositories and no douching at all . They are not sold in pharmacies either. I suppose in US it was a thing , but not here .
I use non scented because the scent can change ph balance and cause yeast
Tnx.i love the way how u discuss this matter
The tune Coca-Cola Douche by the Fugs in the late '60s a Classic tune just like the Coke was. Anyway a nice warm bath always worked for us. A little finger diddling gave a little extra cleaning action and to polish it off I was always willing to take the razor and make everything super smooth and lickable!!
I douched once, but only because I was just really sick and it stunk to high hellga.... I mean it was extremely smelly... I did not really like it though. I mean it was only because it stunk soooooo bad... I had gone to the doctor and she said I could do it at this instance. It does scare me if people do this on a usual basis though.... Because it smells like it would be bad to do all the time (just like how germx actually can kill some god bacteria, so it is not good or healthy to use it all the time).
Extremely nonsense!
Although i no longer have an stomach and that little boy inside me is asking me whyyyy... this is by far the greatest stuff-mom-never-told-you video i have seen.
Wtf is dushing 😂 Im from Spain and I have never heard of this!!
lavados vaginales
Hong Zeng no Hong. Douche is never a good thing. Not only it kills sperm but also the normal flora (good bacteria). In turn, bad bacteria will thrive without good bacteria that keeps them in check all the time. So when you douche all them time not only your vagina will smell bad in the long run because of BV but you will also develop yeast infection. If you don’t believe me then ask your doctor. I guarantee you, your doctor will agree with me.
me being 14, having no idea what I'm watching but still watching it. but hey now ik what douching is so that's cool
Well I use deodorant so my underarms don't smell bad. I don't see how that is different from douching.
tricksock You apply deodorant ON you to stop smell and sweating, it does its job, nothing more. Douching makes chemicals go INTO your vagina, ones that kill good bacteria and wreck up stuff in there. It doesn't do what it claims.
Soo many things I cant unhear now...
In case no one has told you lately, you are a fucking GEM! Am a new fan of your insight via your videos :D
This had me crying from laughing XD
I accidentally bought one thinking it was a large pack of wipes 😂 and I don't even know what it is lol
Meanwhile somewhere else, the Nostalgia Critic suddenly went "PFFFT" XD
Before the 1960s the now over the counter yeast infections were not available yet. They were prescription only from the time they came on the market in the early 1960s to the mid 1980s
Povodone, also known as Betadine is a synthetic form of Iodine that is less toxic than regular iodine has been available since the early 1970s.
Sooo before the early 1960s the ONLY treatment for yeast infections was ACTUAL IODINE douches
And from the 1960s to the 1970s alternatives required a trip to the gynecologist
The result was that eve in the 1970s most women just bought Betadine Douche concentrate at the neighborhood drug store and used it basically the same way their mothers had used Iodine for the previous decades. Because of the lower toxicity they were more likely to use it in higher concentration
Also, as girdles changed from the classic skirt-style girdle of the earlier era to the panty girdle in the late 1950s yeast infections actually became more frequent
By the mid 1980s Clotrimazol Nitrate cream was available over the counter as it remains today
There are people who try intentionally and often to get pregnant that do not get pregnant for years; generalizing this one woman's experience of douching with her not getting pregnant is dangerous misinformation for those who do not wish to become pregnant and could instead use statistically reliable birth control, of which there are several options.
so, followed you over here from from brain stuff because you have a cute face. then i found this video.
I think this is the best video i never wanted to see. As a man I overlook alot of stuff that pertains only to girls/women, I dont think i will watch anymore douche videos, but the level of honesty and clarity that you provided in this video makes me think that a little more Cristin in my subscription list will help me be less of a jerk. Thank you!!!
btw, i think you spelled your name wrong =P
Why did 26 people dislike this? It's useful and a good video.
I am happy to say that I had never before heard of douching, and so far as I know, we do not have douchebags -in the original sense and as shown in this video - here in Denmark... Or maybe I just don't shop in the "right" places xD
I relish the fact you mustard the strength to ketchup to me!
glad we had this talk :-D
Sigh. You know what was refreshing?!? THIS VIDEO!! ❤️
I didn't even know this was a thing, I've never done it.
i have never heard of douching untill now
Same
"Being a girl's the best..." Hahaha I love that part
My nine year old self watched this after sausage party IM STILL HORRIFIED
People do that ? I have never heard of that before today. I live in Europe,so maybe it's a cultural thing. We just use cleansing wash or soap made for this area of the body but that's all. Plus in French "douche" means shower so I was confused a little xD
Same
Don't most people use a bidet in France too?
I'm not from France,other countries in Europe have French has their official language too :) But a bidet is not equivalent to this,it's like a water fountain where you can wash. Nothing goes in. I'm not from France but even there not every home has one. Where I live it's pretty rare to see one outside of hotels.
Oh, cool. Thank you for clearing it up for me.
Sure no problem ;)
All these years and if been calling my cousins "douche bag" and I dint even know it was a thing
Yes, you are right. Any external staffs to any organs may hamper their natural ecosystem which is there for self maintaining purpose, unless must needed to be applied.
Great post.
It keeps buffering when Cristen's making the weirdest faces. She looks like she's drunk half the time while it buffer XD
Just knew if from Healthcare services training though but prior to that ? Nahh. Im oblivious about it.
I literally did this ones in my life... didn’t even do it right... I don’t want to ... mhmm nope never again
I found this "douche" thing in the bathroom. Of course, I look up what it is.
you forgot to cover the CVS logo on the lid
Thank you for talking about this. I can’t believe douches are sold next to medicine for yeast infections and vaginal itching. It’s like people can buy the douche there and come back the next week for medicine to treat the infection the douche gave. Ay yi yi.
This is informative and funny, thanks. Going Green for the vagina! You are absolutely correct, but I worked for an ob/gyn and I think there are some women who do need it. If you have to you can make a natural douche.
You couldn't wrangle up a pic of Kanye West?
I'm not going to lie I just learn something new today ans u just become my new best friend...
I feel like this is the scariest unboxing video ever.
you got a suscriber off this video and you diva cup video ^.^ you are awesome! ! ty for your videos! ^.^
i found this after i asked my mom what it does I NEED TO KNOW THIS FOR LYFE
(im 12 years young)
Coming here after sausage party to find out what the heck is a douche.....
Wayyy more information than I needed to know.......
I've heard douche but I've never knew it means as a product. Thanks for explaining this. I can't wait to tell my female friends and my future daughter not to use douche. Ever. I'm so glad vaginas can self-clean. Really defeats the purpose.
wow you do learn something new everyday at the risk of sounding like a jerk i didnt know you wasnt supposed to do that cool to learn
It was said anyway that to douche isn't necessary, as that part of the body has its own cleaning mechanisms.
she does understand that citric acid is a very common sweetener and is mostly harmless
