Many women swear by the yogurt treatment. Douche with a half vinegar, half yogurt mixture and wear a pad. The bulb suction can help you to douche because you can suck up the mixture and then insert the bulb and squeeze it to spray the mixture up inside.

One tablespoon of vinegar and one quart of water is another douching solution that tends to yield the fastest results when it comes to itching relief. Some women insert the yogurt overnight (wearing a pad for leakage) and then use a vinegar douche in the morning.
