How much soap

For me the optimal solution of a soap suds enema will always be to dissolve so much natural ivory or castile soap in the warm water up to the point that this one will become milky and so opaque.

Normally would use 3 bars of Ivory in my repurposed plastic gallon jug. Would fill it 3/4 the way with very hot water and shake it, let it stand, shake it some more....

I use two big squirts of Dr. Bronner's in three quarts of hot water.

We mix the enema solution in the bathroom sink, check the temperature then use a plastic glass to pour 3 qts. into an 4 qt. open top bag. As we start filling the basin with hot water, a bar of ivory is tossed in as the water is running. After more than 3 qts of water are in the sink, close the tap, and swish the ivory around until the brushed nickel sink plug is no longer visible. Not very scientific, but this works for me as a good soapy enema solution.

Both my wifend I were given Ivory soap water enemas. all three sisters had to nkeep two bars of Ivouy grated in a large mouth jar in the bath room. PMS One teaspone oer2 quart. Bowel problems Two table spoons Per two quarts and Punishment Three heaping tablespons full. Of course that last one wass hung much higher.

I have always wondered what another person with experience would consider a "punishment amount of Ivory". Therefore, this post inspired me to try a self-discipline experiment. I'm pretty good at holding Ivory when just rubbing the bar in the water or washing my hands in the water is the method I use to mix the solution, at least in comparison to castile soap, which always seems to give me a severe cramping.

However, using a cheese grater to shave down a fresh bar of Ivory produced a different result. Even though I wanted to produce a disciplinary effect I used only two heaping teaspoons of grated Ivory instead of three because starting slower is always wise. I first did this on Sunday of this week and was unable to hold the solution for long, so I tried again on Monday also finding that the cramping was too intense with two heaping tablespoons of Ivory. Disappointed in myself, and understanding some hidden level of underlying subconscious self-defiance within, I purchased a CleanStream enema plug from Amazon determined to take and hold my "2q+2tbs" for 10 minutes or until the pressure on my prostate caused an involuntary orgasm (which makes me want to be immediately rid of the water). Today the plug arrived and I prepared the solution. lubricated everything well with Vaseline and proceeded with my self-imposed punishment for the 5th day in a row after work. With the plug seated firmly in place I was able to retain my soapsuds for the full 10 minutes and experienced a shift in demeanor since the conclusion of my ordeal; I have been in high spirits this evening.

I am very curious if your Wife and you were required to retain these punishment enemas you received, and if so, in order to retain a solution that strong did you have assistance from a plug or inflatable nozzle?

When I need a strong cleanout I generally start with midwife enema pre labor.

They use enema not only for clean the colon but for stimulate strong orestakdis cramps that can start labor.

The solution that they use was extreme painful but you it used priorly to make you cramps.

1 pint with 2oz of soap.

Something that hasn’t happened in decades….

I had a hands-free enema orgasm without touching my genitals. It was during the retention of a hot, very soapy enema. I was on the bed writhing around, moaning, holding all that soap (and cramping) and without thinking, rubbed my upper legs together and I felt immediate sexual pleasure. After a few moments, I had a wonderful orgasm and so thankful that I had towels under me! I finally made it to the bathroom to finish expelling.

I think it happened because I gave myself an enema of of warm/hot soapy suds using Zest (instead of the usual Ivory) soap. It gives stronger cramps and sexually stirs me up! I have to have strong enema cramps from soap or it’s not a proper enema. I also like a bit of a struggle with an enema.

It puts a little ZEST into your enema. (I am sorry I do not know how to use BOLD or large print on the app)

When I am preparing an enema solution, I always put the bar ivory soap into a bowl of hot water (about 2 cups) and let it simmer until the solution is milky and suds on the top. The I add two tbsps of glycerin before adding this mixture to 2 1/2 quart bag. Then file the bag with with to the top with more water. It defines cleans you out and there is cramping.

Greetings, I wonder how much soap is good to use in an enema, assuming that it will be 1.5 liters of warm water and that the soap will be 100% natural.

@Hauker, I use a single 9 ml packet of castile soap in 1500 ml of warm tap water. I find it very effective at inducing a large bowel movement and have not had any ill effects.

Has anyone compared the strength of Medline 2/3 oz castille soap packets vs 2/3 oz of Dr. Bronners peppermint? The 2/3 oz. is about 20ml which for me is a bit strong in a 2 quart solution. I was wondering if the pre-packaged items were not as concentrated as Dr. Bronners

wow, that sounds amazing, would youmind sharing which soap you used and the quantity per quart?

TIA Taylor.

I put just the right amount, squirt(s), of Dr. Bronner's peppermint in. The milky color of the bag gives me an indication of the soapy quality of the enema. It can vary because of no actual measurement being used so there are various feelings being given to my sub.

Alot and hot, i buy pure glycerine soap extra large bars and carve slices till its really thick mixture of soap. Great cramping and really hard to hold. So much enjoyment

I heartily agree with @MissStress - I’ve tried other soaps but my absolute favorite that I always come back to is Dr. Bonner’s Peppermint Soap. Just a few drops in 3 quarts of warm water always works well for me-and my enemates love it!

I think the answer to that question depends on what soap and how your body (intestines) tolerate it.

Many people have mentioned castile soap. Yes, understandably you need to pay attention as to what soap and ingredients you use in your enema recipe solutions as not all ingredients are practically safe, or at the very least well tolerated.

I have spoken in one of my previous posts about osmosis (boring high school chemistry) and how substances can be absorbed via the intestinal membrane and enter your bloodstream. Feel free to research it yourself, but even alcoholic beverages that are safe to be consumed orally in moderation become extremely toxic when injected inside your intestines. There has been documented deaths from alcohol poisoning because people have consumed alcoholic beverages via an enema - DO NOT do it!

However, I will have faith in humanity and trust that all of us here on Zity who have enema passions to varying degrees, are good wise well-adjusted individuals who will never perform anything dangerous onto ourselves and others.

As such, going by the response others have posted to this question, I would say that my specific answer is that it depends on what works well as an individual for your intestines and how they tolerate it - safely.

Many have mentioned some kind of castile soap. Unfortunately, here in Australia castile soap is perhaps not as common as in the USA. Yes, what is labelled as castile soap is available in a few shops, and I can purchase it (usually from the USA) on the internet – (very expensive + postage).

There are also some ‘natural organic’ shops that sell many foods and products like goat’s milk and olive oil soaps that are labelled natural, safe, and free from the nasty usual mass-produced soap ingredients. These are the types I use for my enema recipe.

So, after boiling some filtered water, I dissolve 1 teaspoon of table salt per 1 litre of water in a suitable jug, which I use as the base solution because I desire the water to be the same salinity as my body to stop the osmosis process, I mentioned above, and thus keep the same amount of water inside my intestine during my enema. At this point I am only interested in dissolving the salt, so I am not concerned about the boiling water temperature because I will be sure to test and adjust it by adding cold water in the jug. However, whilst the water is cooler but still far too hot and unsafe for my enema, I transfer it to my suspended 1-gallon silicone enema bag and just let it stand inside for a while until the safe temperature is reached. It is also during this time while the still-too-hot water is standing inside the enema bag that I proceed to dangle a bar of the natural soap tied to a shoestring inside, just like a teabag. Usually, I leave the soap submerged in the hottish salty water for a while to let the soap infuse further as it dissolves thanks to the heat. For me, I only want to dissolve enough soap to make the water somewhat hazy, not opaque. I don't want suds like a bubble bath.

By the time the water temperature has adequately cooled, the salty water is also soapy enough for me to self-administer my enema safely with a soft 30Fr, 50cm rubber colon tube that I insert up into my descending colon, and just let that warm soapy water trickle down into my rectum as I fill up.

(I think I will go and have one now.)

Goodbye for now.

Here’s an interesting website I found that lists soap ingredients and potential issues with their ingredients:

https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/

I haven’t really dug into the data sources, but at least they do list sources.

The enemas that I got from mom, and the early ones that I gave to myself, were plain warm water. But reading home health books and nursing manuals told me Castile soap was common for enemas. And one day while cruising the enema aisle at a local drugstore I saw they had the little packets of Castile soap, so I bought some. The directions on the packet said to use the packet in a quart of water. I found that to be quite strong, but the packet in a full two quarts was just right.

I am not into big cramps for my enemas so I only use soap when I feel the need to be cleaned out, which is not that often. I probably use soap for less than 30% of my enemas. Most of my enemas are because I want one, not because I need one. While Castile soap was my first, I now use J&J Baby Wash more often. It is my current favorite. I don’t measure it, just a small squirt works well. I know many people say that they use Ivory for their enemas. I tried it but found it much more harsh than either Castile or J&J.

@Cheryl77177 J&J is my go to now, so mild and soothing.

I am now using goats milk enema soap from OHN.

Absolutely no side effects whatsoever. For you who like a real soap suds enema this really delivers.

J&J, Ivory, Dr. B, all Have , depending on how much you use etc. have side effects.

Goats milk enema soap is totally comfortable and if you like suds topping out the bag you will be in enema heaven.

This is an age old question for me.

I asked my Mom one time, "does the water have to be soapy?" She was at the bathroom sink mixing Ivory bar soap in a bowl for my soon to be administerred enema. This was something I had seen her do before all the bulb enemas. This time it was going to be my first bag enema. She responded "the soap is what makes you go".

All that being said, the standard hospital soap packet contains .33 fl oz. or about 2 teaspoons. It states on the packet that it is to be mixed with one quart of water. I have never seen a nurse do anything but mix it with a full bucket or bag, about 48 oz of water. That is what I am going to use in this mornings enema. Most of the time I jst take the Dr. Bronners bottle and do a squirt squirt and call it good. Sometimes I just use Ivory bar soap and mix it directly in the bucket until the water turns milky and opaque. I sometimes test the water to see if it is slippery.

Once when getting an enema from a visiting nurse I saw her simply taking a hand soap container and doing a squirt squirt in the top of the bag when partially fillled and doing a shake shake to mix it. Oh well, this tells me it just has to be soapy, it's not an exact science.

In my experience I find that soap is much more comfortable and effective than either tap water or saline.

So, I'm Elena.

The recipe in our case is simple.

1 tablespoon of baby liquid soap per 2 liters of water.

But, we started with more gentle doses. 1 teaspoon per 2 liters of water. Many years ago, we started much more simply. Liquid soap was not sold in our region back then. And I did everything from ordinary bar "baby soap". I did the proportions by eye. The water became cloudy whitish, which means it was enough.

But we use this recipe very rarely.

Basically chamomile, mineral water, diluted wine. Wine in the following proportions. Dilute 1 glass of wine with 1 glass of water.

Chamomile: 1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water.

Mineral water. Open a bottle of water and pour it into the enema bag.

@Happy_Fetishist As I've said many times here, my go to soap is J&J Baby Shampoo. It's very mild and soothing and creates a lot of bubbles. 😆 2 Tbsp of soap and baking soda to 2 qts. I've also done several wine enemas too. 😉

While I usually love plain, very warm tap water enemas, sometimes something different is needed. I do enjoy a good soapy enema occasionally, and how uncomfortable I want the enema to be determines the recipe. Sometimes I only want some mild cramps and the wonderful tingle from Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap and add 1.5 -2 Tablespoons in 4 quarts. Sometimes I want a more intense experience and use about 3/4 Tablespoon per quart. This produces strong cramps and a rapid expulsion.

For variety I also enjoy Ivory grated into a powder with a microplane grater and dissolved in hot water as well as Dr. Bronner's citrus soap. I use about the same measurements for all three soaps.

Some people go stronger but I’ve had good success with a capful of Dr Bronners peppermint Castile soap in about 2 quarts. IIRC a capful is about one tablespoon (at least it is for the large one quart bottles I buy)

I remember back in the late 70's when I was first introduced to Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap that a capful from a quart bottle was enough for a moderately strong soapy Enema in a full 4qt. Sherema bag. The soap is watered down considerably from what it was back then.

@Cheryl77177 I was fascinated by your comment: "one day while cruising the enema aisle at a local drugstore I saw they had the little packets of Castile soap, so I bought some." I see you are in Ohio, but the idea of having an enema aisle in any drugstore today is almost unheard of. Where is that store?? I might almost drive or fly there just to witness "the enema aisle". Wow!

It is interesting that soapy enemas have been utilized for many decades. They seem to have diminished since the "chemical" solutions have become so common. As others indicate, a soapy enema isn't always desired or even advisable under different circumstances. I do take one now and then, inasmuch as the outcum is somewhat enhanced. It's not always the cramps or challenges, but I am reminded of situations that resulted in a soapy enema in the past.

I have experimented with the various options discussed here, and keep a bar of Ivory, Kirk's, and other milder soaps handy in the enema drawer. I bought a box of liquid castile soap packets years ago, but the price of these is quite inflated these days. Those disposable bags and buckets usually have a soap packet included and can be purchased for between 1 and 2 bucks at many medical supply stores.

There are some options that increase the urgency of expulsion, and there is little doubt that "science or medicine" is disregarded when an explosive expulsion is desirable. Of course, milk and molasses can bring on that urgency.

Few months ago I became fascinated with soapy enemas and since then 2qts of very soapy water is usually how I begin my enema session.

I use 'pure' white soap from local 'organic' soap maker. It is supposed to be very mild and made with basic ingredients only, It is unscented. I grind it with handheld hard cheese mill to help dissolving. I am not able to give precise quantity of soap, but I aim at cloudy, non-transparent solution, like watered down milk.

However, I definitely do not recommend high volume (3qts+) with soapy water. It gave me days long bowel irritation.
