    I read your response and almost fell out of my chair because I did not read the quote first. I thought "dear lord, she is going to douche with that??"
    I must need another cup of coffee.

    If I was in your situation, I would talk to someone at the school, and provide evidence that it is not recommended for a healthy body. I'm sure if you google it you can find articles that say it can be harmful, removing good stuff, not just smells!

    Me, too!!! And I can't stop laughing picturing Trales checking out with 15 bottles of douche!!! You guys made my day!!!

    I definitely would contact the administration, though. Nobody who knows that little about female anatomy and how it works should be teaching children about sexuality!

    Me too -- just reading that 'recipe' hurt!! And as probably one of the oldest BBB'ers, it's not just a generational thing. I was always taught that douching was unnecessary and potentially unhealthy, so I never did it.

    I hope that the teacher in question didn't also tell her students to use a well-shaken Coke as a douche if no other contraceptive was available...

    I had a professor in college who said, commenting on douching in a course about human sexuality, that the world "doesn't need strawberry-tasting vaginas any more than we need vagina-tasting strawberries."

    That was 25 years ago and it certainly stuck with me!

    Yikes, I would be concerned her material is all out of date! When is the last time someone reviewed that curriculum?

    Yes! Does she talk about pads needing belts?

    Between this line and the de-skunkung discussion, this has been the best thread of the week. Do we have a place for that? Because we need one now . . .

    I never know when I will come across comedy gold on this board, but this thread has definitely made my night! I was laughing so hard reading some of these comments to DH that tears were rolling down my face

    Sounds like that teacher needs some updated info re: female hygiene.

    We really should have a sticky for seriously hilarious threads. I can recall several!!! Didn't we have a thread one time where we each recalled our favorite thread, or was that about contentious ones?
