Empower the Douche!

At the turn of the century, many women hung douches filled with warm water and alum next to their beds for use after sex. In the early 1900s, one physician noted, “The older ladies in the community are prolific in advice. Hot douches, hot baths, and hot drinks are recommended. Certain teas are given – and different emmenagogue pills, made from herbs that stimulate menstruation, are easily procurable.”
