Yes, Anniebrooke is completely right--- douching is actually NOT recommended by doctors because it changes the PH. Yeast infections, BV are often more common in women who douche/use the summers eve brand. Our vagina is self cleaning. BV smells foul and is aggravated by things like intercourse. It can also be passed back and forth between partners. However, women can get it all on their own. It's treated with antibiotics and occasionally can be kind of hard to totally get rid of. discharge is often grey, watery but some don't really have it to the point of being noticeable. So, see your doctor or go to someplace like Planned Parenthood or a clinic for proper diagnosis.

You could have BV. Summers Eve is not helping, it might even have upset the ph balance in your vagina and killed off the friendly microorganisms that keep a vagina sweet and fresh. Go to the doctor and get swabbed for BV and if you have it, take the antibiotics all the way through the course. It isn't serious by itself, but it can cause some serious complications, so take the risk seriously.
