Shape

Anyone else have issues of how suppositories are shaped? Fleet for some reason thinks they should be traffic cone shaped. Most every other suppository is pseudo bullet shaped, pointed front, wide 25% down, and then tapered from there back. Yoy try to invert a Fleet glycerine, and it just saunters up into your rectum, not the surface to air missle launch that feels so good. Anyone else agree? What is your preferred shape?

I like the shape of the other suppositories better, but I do get the shape of a Fleet.

Somehow it's way easier to get a finger to follow up the Fleet without the patient noticing much - as the finger is a natural extension of the cone shape. This is assuming you insert it pointed-end-first. The result is a suppository that is easy to insert deeply.

The other suppositories have a tendency to slide in by themselves past a certain point, after which the finger feels like a second intrusion. I don't mind at all, but I can see how that would complicate things by someone not into our hobbies 😃

Gee, you'd almost think I had a fetish...

I think the cone shape is easier/faster to manufacture.

Recall seeing somewhere a paper talking about suppositories should be inserted backwards so they do get "sucked in," but they didn't say what shape of suppo that was.

I don't mind either shape.

Most likely true.

A cone can be pushed out of the mold whereas a bullet mold has to be opened to eject the product.

From googling everything from Amazon to Etsy, I noticed that the cones are stupid simple to manufacture. The bullet shaped ones tho are typically poured into the wrapper/mold and then the backside (teehee) is heat or sonically welded shut. I know that most of the public dreads suppos even as small as the normal size is, but they should make Connoisseur sized ones too.

That paper has been refuted shortly after its appearance, long ago. Suppositories are supposed to go in pointed end first (but please feel free to do anything you like 😉 ). The paper stated that doing it otherwise would increase travel distance inside the rectum but this turned out not to be the case.

To this day, that paper causes confusion - a couple of years ago, I even saw a brand of eucalyptol suppositories showing a hand on the box that holds a suppository blunt end forward (can anyone remember which brand?).

I had never heard that bit. Thanks.

Definitely the torpedo shape. It is easy to insert and allows for your finger to follow

I prefer the double cone transparent glycerin suppositories. I enjoy feeling the pointed tip of the suppository placed in the anus and play with the suppo before complete insertion

I was thinking about this today, don't really care for the fleets, wouldn't really buy them unless I was in a pinch. Even say the generic storebrands have what I would consider the normal shape.

Well, common sense dictates that it goes in big end first, so that once the big end is past the middle of the sphincter, constriction of the sphincter draws it the rest of the way in. Small end in first, any contractions would tend to push it out....!

If you put the suppository high in the rectum against the rectal wall like you are supposed to it isn't likely to come back out.

If you're doing it for fun then a suppository that comes back out offers options.

Doing glycerin suppositories mostly for fun, as many people, I prefer the double cone shaped transparent glycerin suppository. I always insert the tip first and have no problem retaining the suppository
