The first douche I ever bought was the Lovehoney BASICS douche . It ’ s simple to use , and very effective – making it ideal for people who have never used a douche before . I ’ ll detail how to use this successfully later on in this article . If you are looking for something to help provide a more ‘ thorough ’ cleansing – then a shower Douche might be for you . I recently upgraded to the Deluxe Anal Douche which has an additional nozzle to allow you to vary the water intensity .

Shower Douche

A shower douche will typically be a kit that will allow you to connect it to your existing shower or bathtub mixer tap . Some can be permanently attached , others can be attached Ad Hoc ( when you need it ). The good thing about this type of douche , is that you get a consistent flow rate . There ’ s no possibility for what I call ‘ suck back ’ ( I ’ ll explain later ) – and you can get a deeper clean , because you have more pressure coming out . Of course , this does mean that you need to be EXTRA careful when using something like this – which is why I recommend using a product that allows you to adjust the pressure .
This type of douche could be worth looking into if you are someone who regularly enjoys some deeper anal play ( so fisting or extra large dildos ). With a bit of practice , they can be easy to use , but cleaning them can be a bit of a pain , as they are usually in smaller pieces , and trying to clean the hoses can be a bit of a nuisance – but they will leave you feeling much cleaner and confident – and that ’ s the whole reason we are using these , right ?
The Clean Stream Deluxe Shower douche is one of the less complicated looking shower kits . It features a 6 foot hose , along with 2 nozzles . It can be attached permanently , so features a regulating tap . This means you can direct the flow of water through the douche or the shower . It also has a valve to allow to control water flow too .
When you are using something like this , again , you will want to ensure that the water temperature is ‘ warm ’ – and be very careful using something like this , if you are in an area where water pressure can be a bit … unpredictable ! Needless to say , you use too high a pressure , you are going to cause yourself a lot of pain . So do please , be careful .

Water Bag Douches

These essentially combine the best bits of the bulb and shower douche . The basic concept is a bag ( or sometimes a hot water bottle ) that is filled with water and then held high on a hook ( it actually works in a similar way to the Hydrodouche ) – there is a long tube attached to the bag , which then has the Nozzle . They will almost always come with an adapter to help adjust the flow of water , and as these aren ’ t permanently
