They are NOT a safe thing to use. Douches upset pH balance, and kill off the good bacteria that naturally grow there. Also, you are in fact pushing bacteria further up the waterway, possibly through the cervix. That puts you at a higher risk for uterine infections and urinary tract infections.
The vagina is self-cleaning. You don't need to do anything to it, and it will be fine. It's an unnecessary risk.
Why do you think you need it?
