Douche
A douche (/doosh/, French for "shower") generally describes a stream of water or a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or "sanitary" reasons. In this sense, it is similar to an enema, however the term is used colloquially to apply to the use in the vagina for women. This practice, which is a potential source of infection, is largely restricted to North America.A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching. The term "douche bag" is also a popular derogatory term of insult or ridicule (see Writ of Douchebaggery).
It should be noted that douching after sexual intercourse is not effective as a means of contraception.
