The intimate douche from Long.session made a very good impression in our test. The product is visually appealing and very well made. The BPA-free medical silicone used is high-quality and robust. It also complies with EU REACH requirements. The bulb has a large opening, which makes cleaning, filling and emptying easier. The tapered tip enables pain-free and comfortable insertion. For additional hygiene, you can choose between two different colored attachments depending on where you use it. The material is soft and flexible so that it does not break or cut. Light pressure is all that is needed to move the water from the bulb to its destination, while the anti-reflux valve prevents impure liquid from flowing back, does not create negative pressure and keeps the product tight .

✅ Anti-reflux valve
✅ Large opening for filling and cleaning

*The maximum score is 100 points
Before the first use and before and after each use, the manufacturer recommends intensive cleaning of the intimate douche. This is done with mild soap and warm water. The large opening of approx. 2 cm makes it easy to clean, fill and empty the bulb. A small brush can be helpful for thorough cleaning of the tip, especially the inside.
After cleaning, the bulb can be filled with up to 250 ml of lukewarm water and used immediately . The appropriate attachment can be selected depending on the area of application (anal or vaginal) . The different colors make it possible to differentiate between them, even during subsequent applications. The thin tapered tip enables pain-free and comfortable insertion. The material is soft and flexible so that it does not break or cut. If necessary , a little water-based lubricant can be applied. With gentle pressure, the water from the bulb reaches its destination. The anti-reflux valve prevents the impure liquid from flowing back. In addition, no negative pressure is created during use and the product remains leak-proof.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good | 80 points |
| Rating cut | 3.9 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 45 points |
| Total | 63 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 3.9 stars. One criticism is that the attachment is very long and high pressure is required to squeeze out the water. Other reviewers, however, praise the large opening, the anti-reflux function and the ease of use. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the application also works without a great deal of effort . We also found the attachment to be comfortable. We can agree with the positive voices.
Prices of up to €37 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available for as little as €5. The Indim shower from Long. Session is therefore in the mid-price segment with a current price of €16.90. Consequently, the price ratio is good for the quality and scope of services you get.
