Not sure what an enema has to do with gender?

Not familiar with using a douche bag for an enema. We just drank down a Sal Hepatica mineral salts cocktail and twenty minutes later, no more constipation. Don't leave home after that cocktail though. LOL

That is not a douche bag.
It is a hot water bottle.
50 years ago plus, people used them as enemas

Iodine was the stuff that stung.

Iodine didn't sting either. Somehow we remember it that way but there wasn't anything in it that stung.

The yellow stain mercurochrome left on your skin seemed to last for weeks. Plus I hated the noxious smell of the stuff.

I don't now if it would show up on mine......

I still use peroxide for minor stuff. My mom used to tell me that the white foam is the dead germs. I tried it out on a minor scrape today and it stings a little bit. does that mean it's working?
