Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of vaginal tampons and vaginal douche practices among women. Method: The sample of the study was consisted of 200 women who participated the Women's Health Education Program (WHEP) conducted by the Turkish Family Health and Planning Foundation in Diyarbakir, Istanbul, Kilis and Izmir. Data were collected with face-to-face interviews using a 33-item questionnaire between November 2014 and January 2016. Ethical approval was obtained from the ethics committee of Bezmialem Foundation University and written consent was obtained from the women who voluntarily participated in the study. The data were evaluated using SPSS 16.0 package program using percentage, chi-square and logistic regression analysis. Results : More than half of the participating women were using vaginal douche (56.0%), while those receiving vaginal tampons (24.5%) were fewer. Vaginal douching was most needed after sexual intercourse (39.5%) and mostly practiced with water (58.9%). It was determined that as the level of education increased, there was a decrease in the rate of vaginal douche and tampon use, even if it did not reach a significant level. Most of the women who married under the age of 18 were doing these practices more often. Of the women, 69.6% stated that vaginal douche was beneficial for health. The rate of women who had counseling from a health professional about vaginal douche was 15%, and 28.5% of women reported that they recommended this practice to others. Conclusion : A significant proportion of women were practicing vaginal douche and even more striking is that they have no awareness that this practice may be harmful. It will be important for the health professionals to give importance on this issue in their education and counseling programs for women.
