Kinda embarrassing to be posting this in my 30s but I’ve been doing this since I’ve discovered my vagina as a teen lol. I shower daily and of course wash my labias with warm water first. But once my hands have been rinsed, I will put my finger as deep as I can in my vagina up to my cervix and ‘scoop’ out all of my natural discharges of the day from of my vagina. I’ll clean my finger and repeat like 5 times until I cannot see or feel anymore lubrication and my finger comes out clear. Minimal water does enter my vagina, obviously because I’m in the shower and my finger is wet, but I’m not sure if this is considered douching? Which we all know is not good to do.
This used to be very obsessive when I would have my period (which I don’t get anymore because of my hormonal IUD) and I would repeatedly do this until my finger did not have anymore blood. After sex though, it does become a pretty thorough wash too.
I shared this once with a close friend in HS and she looked at me weird and I never brought it up again.
To be frank, I never had any vaginal infections such as yeast infection of BV (yet) in my life, though perhaps other factors could affect this as well. Also my Pap smears have been normal.
Does anyone else do this or do I have some kind of underlying OCD that needs attention? lol
