I have a medical background (GP) and regular douching is typically not considered a healthy option. If a woman has a notable vaginal odor that persists and is not associated with menses then she would be wise to rule out bacterial vaginosis or gardnerella (associated with a fishy smell-there is a test your dr can run that is quick and inexpensive). Rinsing yourself out with water is not the answer. If people are really finding other uses for this dildo like apparatus good for them but from a health perspective advertising this as an appropriate treatment for a notable and recurrent vaginal odor does not seem like responsible advertising.

To anyone who may not know the validity of Water Works, shouldn’t may such statements until knowing all the facts. I researched this company before buying MY Water Works and know that they held clinical studies in 4 USA States and had double blinded study. Meaning women did not know what they would get! Water Works or Over the counter douche. HMMM now isn’t that interesting!! I thought so and checked further. They have been in business over 10 years which 6 of those years where for per studies and then finial study for FDA. Bottom line is I have one and now I refresh after that time of the month and after my hubby and I have love. And well just any time I feel I need to!! I love it! Works for me and no chemicals! I just love that idea. Plain water… Water goes in the vagina if you take a bath and you sit in all that. But this runs up and right out Love it love it love IT!

Sex toys are considered ‘novelty’ items. Sex toy materials and chemicals are not regulated for health related risks because they are technically not intended for actual use. Many of the sex toys on the market are made from dangerous chemicals and materials that are hazardous to your health and the environment.

http://www.karmasm.com is a good place to get healthy green sex toys.

All phthalates and PVC free sex toys. Vegan lube, gels and more.

somewhat relevant i thought. in case woman (and men) want to have a healthy sex toy option.

Just wanted to stop by and check out your blog, its great! Women’s health is a very important subject for me. I was 28 when I was diagnosed with 3b cervical cancer. Now I am 30 and a survivor! I never thought this could happen to me. Annual doctors appointments, normal PAPs every time, law school student-NO WAY I COULD DIE OF CANCER! I was wrong and now I am trying to raise awareness so that other women understand that cervical cancer is scary and it can happen to them. If you could help me raise awareness I would be so grateful. Please check out my blog. There are all sorts of posts including informational, personal and other women’s stories. The last couple posts are not so great cause I just had surgery and haven’t been able to see very well but I hope you get a chance to check out the good ones! Lets do for cervical cancer what women have done for breast cancer!

Thanks so much

Meaghan
