I'd be interested to know what other people use for douching. I use this, as supplied by the hospital when I had my surgery.

But I hate it! The nozzle feels too narrow, it's uncomfortable to insert and always has blood on it when I remove it. I'm 6+ months post-op so fully healed now and don't bleed at any other time.
Has anyone found a better device to use? Links would be great, thanks!
(Please, no discussions about the pros and cons of douching)

I just use the store bought packaged douche. I dump the contents and fill it with distilled water mixed with a little salt.

Would not a reusable bag work? My Mom had one for years.

Try a Faultless TinyKit (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001481FTM).
They are available locally at many drugstores.

I do the same thing, just re-use the bottles like massengil with plain soapy water or water from the bath/shower head.
Ditto.
