A "douche bag" is an actual item often used by women for "feminine hygiene." Somehow it has also come to be used as an epithet, generally by males towards other males. (I've never heard of a woman using the term that way.) Although I've never seen an actual definition of the epithet, it is clearly derogatory and very offensive. As for what a douche bag actually is: A douche is "a stream of water, often containing medicinal or cleansing agents, that is applied to a body part or cavity for hygienic or therapeutic purposes." Most commonly it refers to vaginal douching. Some women douche to cleanse themselves after sex (though it's not really necessary and is NOT an effective means of birth control, as some believe), or for general cleanliness (which isn't usually necessary and can actually cause problems). Although these days there are one-use commercial vaginal douches available in stores, there are also reuasable "douche bags" or "douche kits" available that were more widely used before the disposable douches became available. These items consist of some sort of bag or bladder that can be filled with fluid (usually water, ideally with 2 tablespoons of white vinegar per quart added for correct pH) that can be attached to an appropriate nozzle. Thus, perhaps calling a man a "douche bag" is, in essense, saying he's only good for cleaning up, particularly for cleaning up after some other man.

A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching (the word can also be used as a verb). A douche is a device used to introduce a stream of water into the body for medical or hygenic reasons, or the stream of water itself. The word comes from the French language, where its principal meaning is a shower. The word can refer to the rinsing of any body cavity but usually applies to the vagina. Of Couse "Douche" Bag has its Slang Meanings as Well: A douchebag is someone who is incredibly annoying. "Man that guy is such a douchebag!" Terms such as douchebag and douche are also popular derogatory terms of insult or ridicule in North America. These terms have become popular in the comedic media, and can mean a variety of different insults: Someone who is annoying, bossy or embarrassing. Someone who is stupid, intellectually challenged or mentally deranged but less than clinically insane. Someone who is unintelligently lying or scamming. Someone who is arrogant, elitist or snobby. Someone whom you don't like. Someone who is socially inept. Someone who you think is mentally challenged Hope This Helps, Tiff

Well, it's the part of a douche that holds the fludids that are used to irrigate the vagina, for hygene purposes or for sexual stimlulation.

They are bags (although now they come already mixed and in special containers) that can be filled with water or other cleansing and soothing liquids. They have a hose on them and they are hung up, and the woman inserts the nozzle into her vagina. The fluid in the bag flows down the hose and into the vaginal to clean it out well with whatever solution is in the bag. The bags are pretty much old fashioned today. In fact, most doctors now discourage douching unless they have a medical problem they feel would be helped by doing it.

A douche bag is a piece of equipment for douching: a bag for holding the water or fluid used in douching the vagina or rectum, (the term douche bag can also be used as an insult. To avoid transferring intestinal bacteria into the vagina, the same bag must not be used for a vaginal douche and an enema.

it is a bag with a hose at the end and women use it for sticking up their pussy and cleaning it out with the special pussy cleaning out fluids that are contained in the bag... doctors actually now discourage women to use douchebags to stick up their pussy and clean out their whole pussy... this is an advantage for the male if a female cleans out their pussy before the male and female have sex because if their is anything in the female's pussy when they have sex and the male sticks his dick in her pussy if there is anything bad in her pussy then it will go into his dick... if a female has sex with a male that had sex with another female that didnt clean out her pussy and this female wants to have sex with another man she should stick the nozzle up her pussy and clean out her entire pussy so nothing gets into the other male's dick when he puts it in this woman's pussy... incase you didnt know whena male and female have sex the male sticks his dick up the female's pussy... is she wants to get pregnant she must have her period at the time they have sex or when the male sticks his dick in the female's pussy and puts the sperms inside of her pussy the sperms wont work!!! if you think this is too sexual and i use the words pussy and dick too much please tell me... although i dont really give a pussy or a dick

As in "You're such a douchebag" it means like retard or something. As in the other terms, everyone else has answers idk what they are...

a person who likes to orally stimulate themselves, by means of the mouth. This is then followed by several lashings by a big black penis against the douchebags ballsac. the douchebag must then, finally, insert several asian penises and only one black man penis into his pie hole, which is then followed by an awakening of a fart out of his mouth.

It's just like a loser or idiot.

It's what girls use to clean their vaginas. It's also an insult

thats what i was wondering but i know that for slang its like a jerk or an annoying asshole. thats how i use DOUCHE BAG! haha douching is a funny word!

Lol wow there are so many serious answers here and my first impression from the question was the actual insult from being called a douche bag lol.

Its deragatory for G.W.Bush

It's often used as an insult for somebody who is a complete jerk or twit. it's also an apparatus for cleaning out the vagina. If a woman keeps good hygiene down there she probably doesn't need douches. Eating cranberry supplements, cranberries or drinking cranberry juice kills bad bacteria in the bladder and makes urinary tract infections less likely. It's normal for a woman's pussy to have a smell but it isn't a bad smell. If she has a bad smelling pussy, she could have some kind of infection and should see the doctor because she might need some medication.

its like a bag for "vaginal enemas" if you know what i mean.

This guy http://www.ratemyeverything.net/post/8411/Anatomy_of_a_DoucheBag.aspx The image isn't working.

A jerk. This is a fairly new slang term.

Are they calling you one? Or just talking about one?

Chris brown!

It's a male who overparties, who tends to take shots to get overly intoxicated, who also works out to abnormal proportions while recommonding anabolic steriods. They can be in college or well after -reliving their party fraternity days. Douchebags tend to wear really fitted t-shirts and walk around in the club with arms out giving the impression, that they are obsessivly muscular. Usually their preference is grey goose vodka and/or the tequila petron drink. Usually some sort of necklace or bracelet and/or body piercing is an accessory. The more louder and obnoxious the individual is, the more doucher they are considered. Approach with caution.

In slang, douchebag used to mean a sleazy jerk who has a mean streak, but its meaning has shifted slightly. Now a douchebag is someone who is a socially inept braggart -- often aggressively so.

8-4-2017 What a bunch of phonies here! I am starting to feel ashamed to be associated with this outfit where people pretend to know things when they don't. "Douche" is French for "shower". In the USA it refers to cleaning a woman's vagina with a stream of liquid, usually medicated. I have never seen a bag, only a plastic bottle. Nevertheless, men use the term as an insult for other men who seem to have inconsiderate habits toward women. So it has no specific meaning, it is just a special purpose insult.
