8. Over-Douching
Vaginal wipes, douche kits and other products are available to help clean the vagina. There is such a concept as too much vaginal cleaning. Most people feel that they need to do this, but in reality, it is not necessary.
Too much use of a douche product can cause the pH to be thrown out and increase your risk for conditions such as a yeast or bacterial infection. Not due to a lack of hygiene but rather from using too much.
When you are unsure whether you have bacterial vaginitis, a yeast infection, or another type of vaginal problem, you should refrain from using douche products. However, when you do resume their use, you shouldn’t use it too often.
