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 fulfils 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 coloured 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 .
Advantages
✅ Anti-reflux valve
✅ Large opening for filling and cleaning
✅ No negative pressure
✅ Soft, flexible attachments
Disadvantages
❌ No customer hotline available

Packaging
The intimate douche from Long.Session arrived for our test in a typical Amazon shipping box. It was undamaged on arrival and could be easily opened by removing the adhesive strip. Inside, the douche was wrapped in plastic film. This type of packaging ensured that the product was optimally protected from external influences and was dispatched hygienically. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the douche was delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. However, the plastic film cannot be recycled . Nevertheless, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.

This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Utilisation | Pleasant and painless insertion, little effort required, large opening | 100 points |
| Essays | Flexible tip, two attachments for more hygiene | 100 points |
| Function | Backflow preventer, tight, no negative pressure, plastic bag for travelling | 100 points |
| Cleaning | Easy cleaning due to large opening, tips somewhat more difficult to clean | 90 points |
| Total | 98 points |
*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 colours 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 sealed.

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 analyse consumer reviews 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. With a current price of €16.90, the Indim shower from Long.Session is therefore in the middle price segment. Consequently, the price ratio is good for the quality and scope of services you get.
