Not during the initial 6 months after surgery it doesn't, there will be a constant flow of sloughing skin fermenting in your vaginal canal. If you don't douche, you will stink.

Many of the American surgeons advise against douching. I am past 8 month post, never douched once, and I don't stink, and no complaints from my girlfriend either.

None of the American surgeons get the same depth as the Thai surgeons, so I'm not surprised - less vagina, less stink.

You just have an answer for everything don't you? Sorry your doctor made a deep stinky one.

Its getting out of hand girls.
I posted about finding cheap condoms on the net.
I like using them as I think its cleaner.
My doctor suggested them, maybe just for the start, but what the heck.

Can we get back on topic? (g*d, I sound like a moderator...)

If condoms are causing issues, then it's most likely a latex allergy.
Non-latex condoms are available, but they are comparitively extremely expensive.

I douche nightly with a saline solution--1 tsp salt per 4 liters(1 gal) of water.

I'm just wondering about those figures.
I've heard a recommendation of 0.9% saline solution.

0.9% * 1 gallon * density(water) = 34 grams

I don't have any real measuring spoons here but when I weigh out 34 grams of non-iodized salt on my digital scale
it looks by eyeball to be around two tablespoons.

Emelye has kindly volunteered that a teaspoon of salt is about 5 grams.
So we are talking about the neighborhood of two tablespoons depending on the granulation.

I have been using Durex with out spermicide.
I dont think its nessisary for my application...

To me anything over a teaspoon seemed like too much when I started doing it.  I had some areas of delayed healing, that is why I continued to douche beyond Montreals two month recommendation.  I just wanted to keep the areas clean so they would heal and so far it's been working.  No smell and clean too!

Don't be so sure--some of those dilators can be pretty sneaky!

As long as this subject is condoms...

Has anybody ever used the FC2 Female Condoms?
It seem to me that the inner ring wouldn't fit very well in a neo-vagina.

[wendy]

I dialate more than that 

O.K.  I thought they were for protected sex but I understand now.  One girl at the support group said that ribbed condoms made dialation pleasurable.  I opted for removing the t-producing mechanism and left the spare parts.  The external parts get cleaned every day or they smell; however, they do smell different than they once did.  It would be logical that some process would need to be done to clean internal parts.
.........................

Hmm can dialation be more than a maintainance item?

*Shrug* The stink is temporary while skin sloughs and heals.
Your depth is permanent.

Uncalled for Kat.  Each doctor will set their own regime.  If they wish you to douche then do so.  If you wish to clear it with your doctor while healing.

[juliemac]

All my Doctor said was "Do a search on the Internet". Didnt make me very happy....

As for Vexing's new pic. Here I am, getting my thermal thong adjusted and putting on an electric bra and she's in a bikini.
God I hate the NE of the US..... (though it is 21 deg F today. YOO HOO! Heat wave!)

*looks dizzy*

[KillBelle]

lol....o brother.

[Michelle.]

Does anyone know about the compatability of the female condom within a neovagina?

Sorry but I tire of the assertion that depth equals good surgeon. Sorry girls but it's not all about the depth, some people just can't seem to give up on the measurements.
