Yes, folks with vaginas are reactionary about anything douche-related (for good reason) cuz we’ve been fearfully taught against it since day one.

Peroxide douches are the bee’s knees for helping (chronic) BV/yeast infections. For immediate relief and to assist w/ treatment. https://twitter.com/BeingBlkStacey/status/1026112349516783617

I get it. Someone says douche and you’re immediate reaction is OMG NO!!!!

And that’s because products like summer’s eve, etc. are HORRIBLE for your vagina.

(An organ that (largely) takes care of itself w/o the need for any outside help.)

Your mind immodestly goes to the “self-cleaning oven” line our moms drilled into us.

AND all the pro-vagina “my pussy doesn’t need to smell like fresh cotton or summer rain! stuff we’re trying to unpack.

ALL VALID.

HOW. EVER.

Anyone who has a vagina knows that when certain shit happens (ie. BV/yeast) we typically grab antibiotics or monistat, etc.

No one is getting BV and saying “just let it go, it’ll be fine, self-cleaning oven!” No, you’re likely going to your doctor for treatment.

So all the folks claiming peroxide douches are horrible off the basis of “self-cleaning oven” already aren’t following their own line of logic lol

Peroxide douches aren’t meant to be a sole cure. Or something you use everyday, no leave your pussy alone.

They’re simply a home-remedy that *doesn’t* thrash your pussy harmony b/c it’s ALREADY IN YOUR VAJ.

It’s literally already in our vaginas working to fight off yeast/infections.

So, along with treatment, peroxide douches provide immediate relief from itching, discomfort, etc.

AND generally help b/c it’s boosting what’s already present, tryna maintain our pussy’s balance.

If you’re shoving monistat up your pussy (which is fine) you literally cannot use the “don’t put shit in your vagina” line in reference to peroxide douches.

Monistat is harsh af and ALL chemicals.

Anywho, don’t trust me. Try it for yourself. Next time you feel a yeast infection coming or if you’re in the middle of one.

And do your own googles

If you don’t trust Cosmo as a source (fair enough) look at scientific articles with trial tests (NCBI has quite a few).

*immediately not immodestly in that third tweet lololol

Oh...

So if you want to try it lol

- buy a pack of douches and regular peroxide from the store
- pour out pre-made solution in douche & rinse thoroughly
- if you’re a newbie and you’re terrified your pussy is gunna sizzle off, start with 1 part peroxide, 3 parts water

(I do half and half and I prefer warm water)
- then sit comfortably on the toilet and *gently* squeeze until douche is empty

I normally take a shower after.

Again, you can use this *along* with your BV/yeast treatment.

I’m not going to recommend how many times a day - feel your body out and see what you need (once a day is fine).

So for example, if I have a yeast infection I use 3-day monistat. I do the monistat at night and peroxide douche in the morning before shower.

And continue the douche a day or two after the 3-day monistat cycle.

Once you try it and see how effective it is and that your vagina will not, in fact, fall off you’re gunna use that shit all the time.

I always use it after my period, I pre-use it when I feel a yeast infection coming to stop it from developing, I use it after a long beach day (wet bathing suit), etc.

And if you’re a sex-worker !!! Bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My go-to hoe tip, for sure.

Anyway, like I said do your own research (scholarly, scientific research if it pleases you) and trust your own intuition/body about it.
