What Is Douching And Do I Need It? Learn How To Here

Want To Learn About Douching?

A topic maybe not frequently spoken about might be a little embarrassing for some, but it’s certainly searched through the inter webs a lot. Countless upon countless blogs and articles outlining the do’s and the don’ts when it comes to anal douching. Many don’t even know what is douching in the fist place. With anal douching just like everything else there are risks both ways. If you don’t douche… well those risk are clearer. If you do decide to douche, how and with what are very important.

The following is simply some facts about the biological effects that can occur from douching vs not for you to mull over, the decision is ultimately yours to make as you see fit. I am not a medical professional simply a Human Sexuality and Psychology Graduate.

What is Douching?

It might be best for me to start off by explaining for anyone who isn’t familiar, what douching is. Douching is a cleaning aid system that involves passing water through the anus into the rectum and lower bowels or colon. This part of the body is where our digestive waste collects before disposal. The process of douching can be done in several ways from bulbs to attachments for your everyday household taps and showers. You can find these at any of our Oh Zone Adult Lifestyle Centre or online at the Adultsmart store.

Anal Sex And Sexually Transmitted Infections

It is already common knowledge that with anal sex comes a higher risk of STI infection including a higher risk of HIV, and that this is due to the lining of the intestines/bowels to be so thin and therefore it is very fragile, this is why having safe sex is important. What might not be as commonly known is that sphincter or anus acts as a sort of warning barrier in terms of the cluster of nerves that it contains and the design of the muscles. The muscles face outwards to align with the peristalsis or digestive direction i.e. bowel movements.

Just entering the anus goes against its physiology so care must be taken. The anus is also full of pain receptors like the skin only in more numbers, they are there specifically there to warn the body of any “aggressive intruder” if you will. These pain receptors have to be gently enticed to relax. Now one might think the solution would be to go slow and use lube? Only it’s not that simple, these specifically placed pain receptors are only located in the first 5cm of the asshole itself, meaning any bump, scratch or tear could go unnoticed causing serious damage and possible infection. But we’re not talking about anal sex, the process of douching can easily have damaging effects.

Does Water Impact The Linings Of The Bowel?

One of the biggest concerns with douching is that by adding water to the bowels you can damage the fragile lining which of course is true. This fragile lining is designed to absorb water, but when it absorbs water in access it increases blood flow to the heart which carries many of its own dangerous risks. When the lining itself is damaged or waterlogged this leads to higher chance of infections.  Inserting the nozzle of the douching device brings a high risk of cutting or tearing the lining, which we have already stated brings high risk of infection.

0These are all true and bring high risks, which is why taking due care when douching is so important. A common topic that often gets brought up in the debate that is “Douching” is that overuse or frequent use will interfere with your natural workings, and that you could end up dependent on stool softeners and laxatives. There just haven’t been any long term studies actually looking at in depth the effects of frequent anal douching that can conclusively support this.

Why Do People Use Douches?

Now after discussing all the terrible things that can occur from damaging one of the most fragile parts of the body, you might be asking yourself why? Why put yourself at that kind of risk? It’s obvious to anyone reading this you already know the pleasures of anal play, or have been enticed enough to begin your research. You obviously want to experience the pleasures that come with anal interaction and want to be safe about it. So again ask to douche or not? Scat play or sex that involves poo is a fetish “Coprophilia”, is it right for you?

It is important to know that any interaction with fecal matter or poo brings a risk of bacterial infection. Unprotected penetration can cause severe UTI’s in men when fecal matter enters the urethra, Hepatitis A and E are also commonly found in feces, so oral or rimming an area containing feces is also very risky. There are also numerous GI (Gastrointestinal) diseases carried out of the body in this waste, such as Salmonella. The list and the symptoms are endless and none of them seem enjoyable and many can be fatal if not treated.

Conclusion

With all the above information and any other sources you find, it’s time for you to assess your comfort level with fecal matter or “poo” before deciding if douching is right for you. You might be one of those people who has regular bowel movement. When I say regular I mean regular on time and regular of a solid consistency that leaves you feeling completely evacuated.

If you are, well la di da aren’t you special! Jokes, if you are you might be confident enough to know your schedule and be able to get away with a quick shower and a thorough cleaning between the cheeks and maybe a quick insert of the finger and you’re ready for insertion. There’s always the small small chance of something left behind. To quote the phrase “Shit happens” it’s true, when playing in this region it’s bound to happen. So how do you feel about that?

I have presented you with many but certainly not all of the biological risks involved with douching or not, the decision is yours!

Douching tips for a sweet smelling vagina – expert advice from me to you!  Discover expert tips on douching for a fresh, sweet-smelling vagina. Boost your confidence and enjoy your body with our top douching tips.

I’ve been reading a lot of forums and articles lately and it got me thinking.  There’s so much out there about how to make your vagina look good, even trendy.

But what about making it smell good?

I mean, who doesn’t want to feel confident down there?  I’ve been wondering how to achieve the best taste and smell, but had no clue where to start.

It’s totally normal for vaginas to have a scent because of our body’s natural smells and sweat.  But why not try to enhance it, right?

Let’s dive in!

Douching Tips for a Sweet Smelling Vagina

• Ensure you have a nicely fragrant soap.

This will not react to your body if you’re allergic

• Wear cotton panties where possible and not panties that cause a camel toe.

The vagina can become smelly because of tight fitting clothes or the material your clothes are made from.

• Always clean thoroughly after going to the toilet.

Carry around a wet wipe to clean any vaginal secretions easily.

• Invest in tablets that will flavour your vaginal secretions.

• Avoid asparagus, smoking, onions and coffee.

They create odour just like they effect your breath with the consumption of certain foods and drinks.

• If these thing don’t work, visit your doctor.

You may have an infection.  It would be worth going to your doctor who may give you some antibiotics or an antibiotic-wash.

• Use a flavoured or odourless douche to clean inside.

Tropical flavoured douches are amazing.

Douching for Your Rectum

There are Many Types of Douching 

Bulb Douches

This type of douche includes two parts as bulb and nozzle.  Simply, you fill the bulb with warm water and squeeze it gently after inserting the nozzle into your anus.

• A nozzle that varies in different shapes and sizes.

Whilst some of them provide shallower cleaning the others make it deeper (the ones with longer and larger nozzles).

• Easy to use and cheaper compared to other types.

• Most important to remember

This type of douche is ‘suck back’ which means that you should be careful while the tip of the nozzle inside you.  If the bulb is disconnected from the nozzle accidentally while using it will damage the tissue of your rectal cavity and cause health problems.

Shower Douches

• Can be connected to Shower

This type of douche can be connected directly to your existing shower permanently or it can be removed when not in use.

•  More convenient

It provides constant flow and also ‘suck back’ does not happen.  If you are into fisting or large dildos, shower douches are more suitable for you.

• Be careful with the pressurised water

Still, you need to be careful as you have pressurized water directly from the tap.  You’ll get used to adjusting the optimum temperature and pressure of water after a few uses.

Water Bag Douches

This type of douche can be thought as a combination of bulb and shower douches.

• What does it consist of?

It consists of a water bag, hose, nozzle, hook and adapter to adjust the flow.

• How do I use it?

Simply, fill the bag with water and hang it on the wall by the help of the hook.

• Mobile

It can be carried easily to anywhere you go as it is not attached to the shower.

After choosing the right one for yourself, grab it, go to the bathroom and give it a go.

Steps to Follow when Bulb Douching

Step 1

• Wash the douche thoroughly before each use.  Make sure that you are using water, avoid any other cleansing additives like soaps etc.
• it is really important to use warm water, not too hot or too cold.  Your rectal cavity is really sensitive and it can be irritated easily.

Step 2

• Use plenty amount of lubricant for both nozzle and yourself for easy insertion.

Step 3

• Insert the nozzle into your rectum or vagina.  1 inch of the nozzle will be enough, more is unnecessary.
• Squeeze the bulb gently so that water can go in.

Step 4

• Remove the nozzle slowly and beware of ‘suck back’.
• After you feel full with water, go to the toilet quickly yet carefully and discharge the water you hold inside.

Step 5

• Repeat the same procedure until you see the water coming clear. You may need to repeat it 3-4 times.

Other Useful Douching Tips

• Don’t use too much water.  Give yourself time to find the right amount of water to use
• Lube the nozzle and yourself in each insertion and please use only water.
• Use douche 30-45 minutes prior to penetration
• You may use antibacterial soap and/or perfumed moisturising cream for the cheeks of your butt after douching, not for your rectal cavity.

Safety of Douching

Some people believe that douching is not that safe and healthy for the rectum. They say that rectal cavity reserves lots of useful bacteria for human health and that area must be kept at a constant pH and that douching changes the level of pH. 

This warning must be taken into consideration.

Enemas & Douching – A Clean Story

I was asked about the enemas we sell,  A girl was asking about them for use pre-https://xvideo.com.au/.  And I realised, although I knew what one was and what they are for, I couldn’t with any confidence explain how to use one.

I also remembered a book by Nancy Friday that I read many years ago, which  shared ordinary women’s accounts of their sometimes out of the ordinary sexual fantasies.

There was one fantasy a woman had about getting an enema.  So, I knew that it was probably a fetish.  Lets face it, most things are a fetish to somebody somewhere.

Well it turns out, it is a very popular one.

There are movies, chatroom’s and a whole underground enema fan club out there.   In fact people who get sexual thrills from this practice have their very own name now…Klismaphiliacs.

Talk to me About Enemas

Enemas have been popular for centuries. The ancient Egyptians were crazy about them.  They thought all diseases were caused by dodgy food and believed a good old enema could cure anything.

Mostly we sell enemas for anal sex.  By nature anal play can get a little messy, and for some people that  that can ruin it.  So a bit of preparation can make sure the experience is a bit cleaner.

But is it Actually Necessary

The answer is, not really, not if you have been to the loo with in the previous couple of hours.  Your rectum is the last bit of the intestine and actually the cleanest part.

Obviously you should clean the outside of the anus.  A shower with your partner is good for that though.

Some people either like to incorporate an enema into their foreplay, or just need the peace of mind themselves beforehand.

You don’t need to perform the type of enema I had imagined though.

When I pictured enemas, I thought of those ones you have in doctors surgeries.  A doctor has the patient on a table for hours with a years worth of body waste going down a tube into a bucket.

I just wasn’t quite sure how to perform one. Now you would think I would be able to find out how to use an enema kit, on the packaging of the enema kit…..but no.

Cleanstream water bottle kit had absolutely no instructions

That’s why I thought it might be worth my while writing this report, as my customer and I can’t be the only ones on the planet who are in the dark about this.

Here is what you do if you just want a quick pre-sex clean.

Your Guide to Douching or an Enema

Fill the bag with water (some people like to add things for extra cleanliness or for nice smells…don’t be adding too much though the water is the hero here).

You screw in the top attach the hose to it, and thread the flow controller clip on to the hose  (it is squeezed to create a valve to stop and start the flow).

Then you add the tapered rectal attachment to the ‘other end.

Using the hanger, hang the bag as high as you can.  Get on all fours or on your side or on your back with your knees to chest, any position that is comfy and insert the rectal tube.

All you do is just let the water flow in for 10 seconds,  then stop the flow.

Stand up, shake your hips while all those stubborn little nuggets free them selves …then just sit on the toilet and ..expel!

You can do it a couple of times if you like.

What a relief!!  I was picturing a whole different scenario of having to get a friend round and erect a trestle table and don white coats a few hours in advance.   (I think I was confusing it with colonic irrigation).

Restraint Enema

There is the longer more  drawn out enema called a restraint enema.  This involves holding as much liquid inside you for periods of up to 20 minutes at a time and it would be more the enema for the pleasure seeker.

Klismaphiles

I love finding out about new and interesting fetishes.so I looked this one up.  Klismaphiles gain sexual satisfaction through enemas, through fantasies or by actually receiving or giving them.

It is typically used in role play, and often has  a lot to do with punishment or submission.   Klismaphilia is practiced by men and women, although men are more likely to be klismaphiles.  They do, after all have a prostate which can be massaged by the fluid and be intensely pleasurable.

Klismaphiles also sometimes get pleasure from a large, water filled belly or the feeling of internal pressure.   Like a lot of  fetishes it sometimes arises from a childhood experience but can often be discovered later on in life.

It is also practiced on its own for sexual pleasure, by people who don’t have a fetish for it.   Unlike scat though, the pleasure has nothing to do with the poo.  It is about relaxation, lube, masturbation, holding back and even penetrative sex during the enema.

When the enema is done right, there is no pain or discomfort.  Once the colon is clean, men report enjoying having sex while the water flushes out.

The feeling is stimulating, and when coupled with masturbation can produce amazing orgasms.
