Was talking with friends today. I have a smear soon. Just mentioned I was going to pick up some tea-tree oil on the way home. They asked what it was for so I told them I douche before these appointments.
I occasionally do it after sex too. In fact I try not to have sex in the few days leading up to an internal.
They were .
Now I feel weird To me, it's like giving my teeth an extra good brush, flossing, mouthwash before seeing dentist. Just preparing myself, you know?
A lot of women in the US seem to have this as part of their regular routine.
By the way, I've been doing this for a few years now and no gynae problems so far.
