Fairy liquid (dish soap) safety?

Hi Everyone,

New to the site, hope this is posted in the right place.

46M been using various recipies for enemas most of my life, also mixing up 'punishment lubes' for myself.

I've found somehthing that worked was Fairy Liquid (dish soap), and gave me a nice cramping/burning type sensation when used as a lube. But I'm concerned about safety. I have done this for many years and not had problems, but recently I've been using a large amount (like a 40ml syringe of neat Fairly Liquid as a lube).

Could anyone help me on safety here please and possible alternatives?

Ingredients on label of Fairy Liquid are : 15-30% Anionic Surfactants, 5-15% Non-Ionic Surfactants, Benzisothiazolinone, Phenoxyethanol, Perfumes

From my research online I can see there may be more ingredients not listed, but what do people on here think? Thanks in advance for any insight XX

I don't consider dish soap safe for use inside the body at all.

Enemas or anything else

I'm with LisaK on this one! Two of the ingredients you listed could be carcinogenic! I think Ivory is the only safe soap for me. (Others are safe, too, but cost a lot more.) If your are going to use soap, REAL soap is the way to go. That would include organic soaps, but be careful of dyes and fragrances. Detergents are a no-no.

Hi Everyone,

I welcome you here and opine that you posted your question in the right place.

As an adult, I've never used detergent on the basis of something I had read, although my mother always put a squirt of dish detergent into the enema bag and, whn I asked why, she said "it helps thing come out better."

Looking it up now, I see in the "Biology-Online Dictionary"'s article "Soapsuds enema" https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/soapsuds-enema

"Liquid handsoaps and detergents should not be used."

There is NO ROOM for any detergent in the human body at all. It contains harsh, poisonous compounds that are engineered to cut and disperse grease and some also contain anti bacterial chemicals that would kill and destroy some of the body's defense mechanisms. I can not say loud enough it is a NO GO !!!!!

Stick with actual soap.. Saponified fat or vegetable oil. That is definitely safe to use.

There actually ARE some dish detergents that are safe.. But do you really want to find out the hard way which ones they are?

To give an example of why you should not use detergents, I remember being a child and wanting a bubble bath. We didn’t have bubble bath soap so I used laundry detergent. My crotch burned afterward. Imagine what your colon would feel like?

Hello all!

I have been giving and taking enemas for over 30 years. The only soap I trust id Dr. Bronners. (No, I don't own stock). :-)

The only other solutions I use are sometimes a teaspoon of salt or baking soda in the bag. Coffee is pretty soothing but gives me the jitters. I shy away from alcohol.

Happy filling!

Pure soap works well, isn't expensive, and will give you cramps. Why not stick with that?

If you do want or need detergents (say you have very hard water) stick with baby shampoo or Colace stool softener.
