So what is a douche exactly?
In laymen’s terms – a douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the
body, usually vaginally or anally. It can be used for either medical or hygiene reasons.
Douching is typically normally associated with the vagina, with anal douching being
called an Enema – however as most sex toy sites refer to them as anal douches, that
is how we will refer to it for the rest of this article.
There are probably 3 typical examples of a douche: Bulb, Shower Kits & Water bags.
Bulb Douche
These are probably the most common type of Douche, and probably the cheapest and
easiest to use. They are normally 2-piece kits – a squeezable bulb (usually made from
rubber or silicone) into which you insert a nozzle. You fill the bulb with warm water and
then insert into the anus, and squeeze the bulb to allow the water to enter. These are
typically used for a shallower cleanse (although you can get some bulb douches with a
larger nozzle to go a bit deeper).
