Why a Double Balloon Inflatable Nozzle

@EnemaAndIvory Actually, I have. The one latex single balloon nozzle I have has been inserted all the way to the balloon inflation tube. It's hard to make it stay in place deep in the Sigmoid colon without over-inflation of the balloon. I have also taken a double balloon nozzle where I ruptured the outer balloon (because I sat on it and popped it) and done the same thing with less concern about over-inflation since the nozzle is already damaged. It doesn't have quite the same stimulative sensation as being firmly seated in my rectum.

But the enema feels pretty much the same as one of my colon tubes that are about 14 inches long, or so.

I'm sure you know but the obligatory warning - be careful with balloon nozzles if you're inflating them to significant diameters. There are a number of cases where the rectum was torn during barium studies. Keep track of the pumps:size correlation and keep it to a safe size.

If you are a reasonably healthy individual, you have little to fear from using balloon catheters

I have recently purchased a single balloon yellow latex rectal catheter that works quite well. I purchased it from:

I have found with the single balloon nozzle that when you pump it up too much it tends to pull the inner balloon deep inside so I believe the outer nozzle prevents this from happening and also makes a better seal. Not speaking from experience because I’ve never used a double balloon nozzle.

I have always preferred a douche nozzle or if I wanted a more hands free nozzle I use the black rose bud nozzle it doesn’t tend to pop out.

I’ve got a new set up coming in tomorrow and can’t wait to use it

Mine broke down about a year ago and I just got around to buying another
