I've been wondering something for a while now and I wonder if anyone does this or if it's safe to do it....
I know douching is bad as it messes up PH levels and all. However, is it possible to just use it to flush things out in the shower while on your period?
I am a very heavy bleeder and it lasts for a week. I try to wash as much as i can in the shower, but I can't seem to get the blood well enough at times and when i come out and towel dry, I get some on the towel.
Is it safe to 'rinse out' during this time? Sometimes the pads irritate me and make me afraid I will get another UTI with how much blood I have that comes out of me. (Especially when you have the oh-so-lovely clots sitting on the pad.)
Sorry if this post is a little TMI.
