What I use is one of the reusable types like this.

You can use the disposables, but as often as I get issues with yeast, etc, it just isn't economical.

But, I essentially put 50ml of white distilled vinegar and then fill it up with warm water. Then you screw in the top, and place it up inside there and then squeeze the bulb. The reason for vinegar is it creates a slightly acidic environment which yeast doesn't like.

Afterwards, I rinse out the bulb portion and hang it upside down to dry. I use an antibacterial soap on the portion that goes inside and clean it. It also hangs with the opening down so it dries completely.

This is definitely NOT a dude board!!

I'm so glad-answers to stuff you'd never see there...

Someone mentioned antibiotics and someone else birth control pills and it got me to wondering-how many know some antibiotics can reduce effectiveness of b/c pills? St. John's wort is another b/c no-no.

Thanks for enlightening me Mel. I've never come across that douch gizmo before, but then again... it's not something that tends to crop up in every day conversation.

Nope - this is NOT a Dude board.

Melody, I wish you were my mommy That was a great, simplistic explaination.

I was remembering the speaches about what things were and how to do them back in my kid days... yeeks!

The one that cracked me up was the no tampon deal... it might "make you not a virgin anymore" PLA-EEEEEZE! One month of san naps and I was using tampons on the sly. Virgin-smirgin! I hated sittin' on that thing...


Oh! I suddenly realized why I hate most womens chamois'... it brings flashbacks to my feeble brain.

spazz - with yet another mystery of life solved

Well, I was asked by my husband's ex-wife that I may have to explain things to my step-daughter since she was going to have her first period any day during their visit with us, so it could happen then. So I kind of brushed up on what I would say.

Oh! You mean that diaper feeling?

Most of 'em are to "poofy" for me... the only one I found that I really like is the one in the PI Sugar short. They are officially the only womens short I'll wear. Other than that I get the smallest mens I can find.

And Mel... I ain't goin' there with ya on flashbacks. uh-uh-no-way I have a reputation to uphold... somewhere... if I can remember where I put it.
