Bought a suitable form for making suppositories

A few days ago I found a very intriguing form in metal that was used to make chocolates in various shapes and sizes. There was in fact a whole stand with dozens and dozens of such items from an old now out-of-business chocolatier.

Anyway, the metal form I bought is two piece, top and bottom being mirror shapes but fitting together nicely with pegs and holes. It can make 5 shapes in the form of a 12 cm long tapering finger, perfect for making a large-sized suppository.

Now I was wondering what would be the best ingredients to use making a suppository in that form with basically inert ingredients that either melt inside the body or else do not melt, so the suppo could be expelled again?

Hey there. I like to make my own medicated suppos with coconut oil. It stays fairly stiff at room temp, and melts well when inserted. I'm never sure of the strength of my medicine, so I make the suppos small (about 6cm), and take multiples if it is a little weaker than I thought. I like to take one or two, then an hour later take a warm enema to spread it deeply.

I really like those forms. I'll have to look for something similar.

Hi @agracier you can use cocoa butter which has been the de-facto suppository base for a long time (until it was replaced by better ones). It melts at 34C. You do have to melt it slowly (au bain-marie) because otherwise it gets into a state where it has a different melting point.

If you want it to NOT melt inside the body, simply add 5-30% beeswax to the mix. (or just use beeswax...). Usually, wax would be added if the suppository had an ingredient that caused the melting point to become too low.

Happy supp'ing! Let us know how it went!

Pro tip: add menthol 😉

Very intriguing form by the way!

Wow, nice form!

I would like to test those suppositories 😃

My formula is 100 ml Glycerin; 30 ml water/ tbl spoon of stearic acid; 4-5 packets of gelatin. Heat gly, water and stearic to 150-160 deg then stir in gelatin. You can delete the stearic I use it for a firmer suppos

That is really cool. You could make all kinds of kinky things including soap sticks formed in those molds. I like the idea of menthol as well.

Make sure you watch how much!
