Cleaning the vagina after sex.

Since douching frequently isn't supposed to be good for you, are there any other ways to get "cleaned out" after your partner cums inside you? The problem is that me and partner have sex just about every day, and he cums inside me everytime. Anyone have and suggestions for staying fresh and clean?

Thanks!

Your vagina is self-cleaning and just taking a shower or bath will clean what needs to be clean.

The vagina cleans itself. Whatever is "unclean" or "unfresh" is outside the vagina, the vulva and surrounding area. A bath, shower or washcloth can take care of that.

Douching is NOT recommended by doctors ever, let alone infrequently. That will upset the pH balance as well as the "good" bacteria inside your vagina, and will leave you wide open for yeast and/or bacterial infections. You should never douche unless it's by doctors orders, and that's almost never.
