What is anal douching?

Okay, yes, the anus is the epicenter of our pleasure. But we cannot forget it is still a dirty place! It is where the poop comes from, and a lot of bacteria live there. And you know, you do not wish to mix sex, poop, and bacteria. Besides, imagine you are playing, and boom, a nasty surprise! Yes, it is natural, we are humans, and accidents are possible. Sometimes things are out of control. But seldom, we could help ourselves to cut the chance of that happening. The way to do it is by douching.

By the survey from the year 2017, most people prefer if their partners practice douching. To be precisely correct, 78% of them! Some did not know what that means. And only 1% was okay if their partner did not do it! You might be one of those who do not understand what exactly is that. If yes, do not worry, I got you covered with information!

A douche is a device for introducing a stream of water into the body. It can be vaginally or anally. The reason to do it can be both medical or hygienical. Now, some people connect this term to the vagina, while they call anal douching an enema. Still, the most popular referring to it is simple anal douches. So that is how we will refer to it for the rest of this article.

There are three the most common types of anal douche:

1. Bulb Douche

The bulb is probably the most common way of doing it! Plus, it would be fair to say it is the cheapest and the easiest.

In the set, you get two pieces of material, which is a squeezable bulb. Since it is made of rubber or silicone, it is flexible. Plus, you get a nozzle to connect it with it. Usually, the nozzle is short, so this is only for a shallower cleanse. Sometimes you can find a model with a larger one so you can go a bit deeper.

And how you do it? Easy! Fill the bulb with warm water and then insert it in your anus.

2. Shower Douche

In this buy, you are getting a kit that connects with your shower or bathtub mixer tap. Some models let you adjust the pressure, and some do not. In the second case, you must be extra careful not to hurt yourself! Also, be sure that the water is warm and comfortable!

Who should use this method? Anyone who is having a regular and deeper anal play! If you are asking, that does not include only anal sex, but big dildos as well.

At first, it is not so easy, but it gets easier after as you get used to it. Plus, it is a bit painful. But you will be fully clean, thus confident!

3. Water Bag Douches

We could call this a combination of a bulb and shower douche! What you get is a bag or a hot water bottle. And yes, it is filled with water and held on a hook. A long tube is connected to the bag or bottle. Plus, most of the models have an adapter. So, with the adapter is easy to set the flow of water.

The benefits of this type? It is easy to use it! The cons of it? It can be expensive. Plus, once in a while, you need to replace the bag, which will add to your costs.

Why do you have to do Anal Douching?

If there is no illness, the body keeps things clean and healthy. Some people would say that a simple shower and gentle cleanse with soap is enough to be ready for anal play. But let me stop you right there! Soap is not mandatory! Plus, the anus is a sensitive area, which means that soap can irritate it. I would always recommend organic products with no chemicals. 

In conclusion, if douching is not a must for everyone, is there someone for who it is? Yes! If you have a poor diet or eat greasy foods, you are at higher risk of an accident.

You need to be aware there is no scientific proof that douching is bringing any benefits. The only gain is mental. That is, being sure you would not be embarrassed with anything. But if you ever poop, do not panic! Again, it is normal! It does not make you inhuman but on the contrary!

How safe is Anal Douching? 

Every gut holds bacteria. And not all bacterias are wrong! Some are helping our body to digest food and receive nutrients. Plus, it keeps the unwanted bacteria on the bay! So, if you end up being too aggressive and do too much douching, you can wash away the good bacteria.

There is no rule on how often it is safe. But you should limit it to no more than two or three times per week. And never do it more than once in the same day!

Besides bacteria, are there any more risks? Yes! For those suffering from hemorrhoids or anal fissures, anal douching is not a good idea. If you do it, you will have injury and pain. Also, be super careful that your product does not contain stimulant laxatives. Why is that? Laxatives cause gas, cramping, and diarrhea. And diarrhea is oppositive of what you are trying to do here!

Did you set the water goodly?

You might be thinking that tap water is fine. If you drink it, how bad could it be for your body? Spoiler alert: yes, it could be critical! Douching too often with the tap water could cause an imbalance. That condition would normal saline prevent.

Using the correct type of liquid to clean out your butt is crucial. Your body has a proper balance of electrolytes for operating normally. The wrong fluid will cause imbalances and harm your body. So, what are the safest liquids? It is called normal saline.

Normal saline is a water mixture with the right amount of sodium electrolyte. You could buy it in a store, or prepare it yourself at home. What you need to do is combinate a half teaspoon of salt with a cup of water. Also, make sure the temperature of the water is suitable!

Even if you are tolerant to a hot shower, you will burn your insides. For that, always test the water with your hand first. And never use olive oil, bleach, or alcohol! Use of any of that would cause you serious harm.

How to do Anal douching?

The process ranges somewhat depending on the type of douche you picked. But the general rules are the same.

 It is way easier for you to be in the shower when you do this. Or at least in the toilet! If you do so, the contents of the douche and your rectum will have where to go.

Also, put yourself in the correct position. You must have easy access to your butt. Put one leg on the toilet or the shower bench. It is better if it is your dominative leg. Then stick a lubed finger in your anal. After you have done lubrication, it is okay to insert the douche. As you are aware, you have to relax, or it won’t go in! So, take a deep breath! And then do it gently!

Press the douche bulb, bottle, or bag to take out the liquid casually. If using a shower douche, start at a low setting with not too much water. You do not need to put the whole thing in your butt! Preferably insert 2/3 inches. You only need to cleanse the lowest part of your anal. Thus, no need to torture yourself with more.

Keep the liquor inside you for a moment. That is the part when you must be on alert! Do NOT let of your equipment until you remove it yourself. Otherwise, water will get sucked back inside the douche. And you do not wish that to happen!

When you pull out the nozzle, you might not be able to hold the liquid. But if you can handle it, jump up and down a few times. If you are in the shower, be careful not to fall, of course. And then quickly sit on the toilet. Once you let water out, flush it. It sounds odd, I know! But, there is a reason behind it! By flushing every time, you will see the difference in how dirty or clean water is.

Do it again and again until the water running out of you is clean! Usually, it can take between 2 to 3 removals.

After you are finished douching – wait before the sex

Take a shower to clean yourself. And, of course, clean your nozzle and bulb! Hygiene comes first always! It is best if you use mild soap and water. After doing so, it would be best to leave it to air-dry. I believe this goes without saying, but please again wash your hands! And then sit and wait! You could also use this time to make sure you have what you need – lube or condoms. Most of the water will come out of your butt right away, but there will be some left. That will take an hour or two. Do not rush it unless you want a wet surprise.

In the end, should you do it or not? What is the best advice? There is no right or wrong answer! Douching is a personal choice. Listen to your body! Be sure to understand the potential risks and do as you wish.
