How Much Soap is Too Much

Any soap at all is too much for me.

Soaps. Your body will let you know what is pleasant and what is not. You will eventually get to know what kind of soap you like and how strong to make it for your enjoyment. Cramps, etc. ( No cramps, a little cramping or a significant amount of strong cramps.)

I've tried all kinds of solutions, soaps, and plain tap water enemas. I prefer my enemas a little hot, temperature wise. That starts my juices flowing!

Experiment! You will discover which soap and the consistency you want to use. Also, soapstick suppositories can make you double over in pain and yet, some people get off on that.

It's your body so take care of it. Make wise choices. I'm in my seventies now and know what I want and what I need for my enemas. I know what feels good and makes me climax. And at times, it varies. I mostly take the kind of hot Ivory soap enemas my Mom gave me until I was grown and left home. They are very crampy and effective, giving excellent results. *That's a sexy enema.*

Good luck and have FUN!

As a child until 12/13 it was the Ivory soap bubling over the top of the bag, once out on my own, there was an infinite choice depending which woman I was seeing at that time, some used Ivory, some regular shampoo, and some used Johnson Baby shampoo, one even tried dish detergent and that caused a lot of distress, had to rinse three/ four times.

I use one squirt of Dr. Bronner's castile soap in two quarts of water. Unfortunately, I usually need the soap to get complete constipation relief.

Oh yes, dish detergent IS a bad choice. I also learned that.

About two decades ago, I went to a colon hydrotherapist I'd seen several times before. This time the regular practitioner was not there and a substitute saw me. The reason I liked this clinic is they ‘practiced with enemas’… meaning that everyone got a bag enema and pood it out before being connected to the Dotolo hydrotherapy machine. One didn't have to ask for the enema as everyone got one. Period. Furthermore, there were instructions on the wall, directly in front of the toilet that read" Do not put toilet paper in the bowl. Put it in the basket" and “Do not flush”. Yes, the therapist checked the results of the enema. I suppose if she were not satisfied, another was given. By the way, there was a row of coat hooks on the wall with a half dozen or so Fleet Bagenemas ((Fleet's disposable enema bags) with names on them hanging there. Regular (sic) customers, I presume.

Anyway, this time I asked for soap in the enema, which was an option, but the new therapist could not find the enema soap. So she used some dish washing liquid. Boy, was that an error. It burned like hell and even after the multiple, large volume, flushes for over an hour on the colonic machine, and I had very urgent, sloppy poo for several days after the session.

IMO, dish washing liquid, a detergent, does not belong in an enema solution.

My advice: use SOAP, not detergent, shampoo, etc.

My experience: I stir a bar of Ivory soap into warm water until the water becomes slightly cloudy and frothy. That's soapy enough for me!

How Much Soap is Too Much?

at the latest when bubbles escape from the mouth while speaking...🤔😂😂😂

…when I was asked to fill in for the bubble machine on Lawrence Welk.

Use about a teaspoon full per quart maybe bit more depending how I’m feeling and sometimes after a couple of soap and rinse enemas I’ll finish with ducolax suppository let it melt for 15-30 then take a water and soap enema with a retention nozzle and wow cleans me out good

I've gone away from soaps in favor of lemon juice, but when I do use soap its Dr. Bronner's baby unscented.

I’ve recently been quite health conscious and no longer use soap. Yes, it helps clean out but re-establishing gut microbes takes too long.

Back in the mid 70's a surgeon was going to scope my colon in his office because of bleeding. He told me to take two 2 qt enemas and swish a bar of soap in each bag for a few seconds. It was not much soap at all. Back then I guess you did not go to the hospital for this.

I’ve used dove and ivory and they work well. I never try to overdo the concentration. But for the very easiest to hold enemas, I think Johnsons Baby shampoo is the best for me. I never have any trouble getting it all in, and can hold it easily. But it does make for a very sudsy solution!

J & J Baby Shampoo is my go to, very soothing and lots of bubbles😊. And does a very nice clean out.
