Female intimate care.

The vagina is an elastic fibromuscular canal leading from the vulva to the uterus. Its elasticity permits it to perform many physiological functions, allowing it to stretch during sexual intercourse and vaginal childbirth. It is also the path through which menstrual blood and tissue leave the body.

Vaginal douching is a century old practice that dates back prior to the time of Hippocrates. Douching is thought of as being good hygienic practice by many women and hygiene is the main reason behind its use. Other reasons for women douching could be to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease or after the menstrual cycle to cleanse. Vinegar, lye and soapy water are the most common solutions used to douche.

There are records from the time of the Egyptians of women using pessaries. They believed that inserting the pessary into the vagina and holding it in place by using their pelvis floor muscle that this would act like a form of contraceptive. Sometimes they would even use crocodile dung, which was lubricated with honey and oil this was thought to be effective in killing sperms.

It has been reported that many tampon makers use chemicals and poisons such as asbestos on the tampons. These chemicals make the woman bleed more. It is also suggested that wood chip is put into tampons which again will induce prolonged bleeding. As a consequence women need more tampons to use and hence more tampons are sold.
