Douche nozzle questions

You can insert the douche nozzle all the way in if you are careful. The secret is to first insert the nozzle about 2 inches and then start the water flowing. Once the water starts flowing you can begin to work the nozzle the rest of the way in. Don't try inserting the nozzle all the way at first because you'll need to the water to expand the colon enough to allow the nozzle to freely go past the bend in the colon. Enjoy!

The douche nozzles that come with our equipment have a cross-shaped cross-section, which is a bit unpleasant for the anus when entering. DDell2 points to barium nozzles, which have a more comfortable shape (never tried them). Also, douche nozzles have very little holes that get easily clogged by Vaseline or fecal matter.

For what it's worth, I like using the douche nozzle. I purchased a couple of fairly cheap white douche nozzles awhile back. No curve to them, however a member here suggested I place it in boiling water briefly and it easily bends to the curve you desire. I went a step further and drilled a one eighth diameter hole in the end to increase flow.

in my early years it was understood that the straight nozzle was for enemas and the long curved one was for douching.

Yes, while this true I wonder how many back in the day made the douche nozzle their nozzle of choice for enemas. When I was young and asked my mom about the douche nozzle she told me it was for adult enemas (probably not wanting to explain about douching) - but as you can guess, no sooner when I was alone was I shoving the douche nozzle up my butt.

Almost always use a douche nozzle or something longer and flexible when doing a deep clean! Can insert it as deep as wanted and feels good as it enters the colon! Use lube and relax and you won’t experience any discomfort!

@Enough said,

I wonder how many back in the day made the douche nozzle their nozzle of choice for enemas.

The summer I turned nine, my RN grandmother switched us from the adult rectal nozzle to a long curved bulbous head douche nozzle. I also knew where else the nozzle was used, having walked in on mom douching a few times when I got up at night to use the bathroom. When grandma switched us from the adult rectal nozzle to a curved douche nozzle, our two young teenage aunts also switched whenever they gave us enemas. The only one that didn’t switch was mom, she continued to use the adult rectal nozzle. When grandma taught us how to give ourselves enemas as preteens, she told us what the douche nozzle was normally used for, but that it was also good for giving deep enemas without having to using a colon tube. Afterwards, whenever we gave ourselves or each other enemas, we used a curved douche nozzle. However, we did use the adult rectal nozzle from time to time when we gave each other enemas for constipated. But our preference was a long-curved douche nozzle because it felt so good buried deep in our rectum.

Some of us being enema experts, like to use the old curved douche nozzles for enemas, they seem to be a good fit.

I decided to do an experiment, I took a delrin nozzle that I made a while back, heated it with a heat gun and was able to bend it

To continue with the experiment, I attached it to my new silicon hose which connected to one of my antique enema cans. After filling with warm water and adding some Dr B's soap, I lubed up and made the insertion. I gave my self a shot of water just to loosen things up and rotated the nozzle. I found the most comfortable angle was with the curved part pointing towards my belly button. Has anybody checked this out? Since it likes that angle, perhaps all enema nozzles, short of those short baby nozzles be curved?

Hopefully my album photo comes through

Having recently acquired a collection of enema and douche nozzles, as well as some other fittings, I added a few of these to some vintage enema/douche bags and posted photos in my equipment album. These photos are quite representative of some wonderful vintage equipment that should rightfully be preserved for posterior use. I actually meant posterity and history!

@Enough : .... Yes, while this true I wonder how many back in the day made the douche nozzle their nozzle of choice for enemas. - but as you can guess, no sooner when I was alone was I shoving the douche nozzle (the long curved nozzle) up my butt.

I too did the same thing!

Experienced in receiving with the long thick curved bulb douche nozzle

Insert it’s full length into your bottom of choice🤪Just like for douching 😈

Mom switched from standard rectal nozzle to the curved douche one at age 10 or so. It looked like a torture equipment, but as far as I remember with some lube it went in easily. Maybe a little discomfort at the beginning, but as soon as the flow started all disappeared. For the water pressure (how high you keep the bag) it is an another question. Depends on the receiver capabilities.

The enemas I got from mom were all with the typical red bulb syringe. Even the bag enema I got from grandma at 10 was with the straight rectal nozzle. I knew from studying the Sears and Wards catalog that many enema bags at the time included 3 nozzles: Infant rectal, Adult rectal, and Vaginal. At the time, I didn’t know that some people used the vaginal nozzle for their enemas. I was a young adult, having bought a new bag, when I tried using the vaginal nozzle for an enema. It became a favorite, leading to experimenting with other nozzles, some bought, some home-made. My current favorite is a large one shaped like a butt plug with a hole in it. No need t hold it in.
