Enema kit

Anybody know if enema bags are still sold at rite aid? Would they be with the fleet enemas? I ask this cause I work close to a rite aid

If they are, they would probably be behind the pharmacy counter…you would have to ask. If they're not with the Fleets and other laxatives, that's the most probable place. Amazon is your best bet…and you don't have to ask!! Great selection!!

It's been a long time since I've been to a Rite Aid, but I can tell you that at my CVS the Fleet enemas are on the shelf with laxatives, suppositories, and digestive aids. The enema kits are over near the feminine hygiene products at the end of the aisle and near the personal lubricants and disposable douches.

Ok thanks everybody

They can be found at feminine sit, not with the fleets. Red bag, hose and two nozzles

Yep found em. I'll buy one at another time for now

Why wait? You're missing out on some fun!! 😄

The best place to purchase these is on ebay. I recently picked up two for like five bucks, the regular 1500cc hospital type new and sealed with soap..the date was running close but it's not problem if they new and sealed.. and you get some privacy when ordering..

Likely NOT with the Fleet Enemas

If they're there they are more likely to be either eithr the bandages and stuff or with the Feminine Hygiene

I have not seen an enema bag or bucket sold in a drug store for many years, maybe 15. Fleet used to have disposable bags but I believe they discontinued them. The last time I saw a combination syringe bag was at a Wallmart in Alabama. Only on-line these days. Even my nurse at my GI doctor told me that an enema is a “ severe procedure”.

Severe procedure my butt. I've taken enemas all my life and am now 70 years old. If they were harmful would not the colonoscopies I've had revealed damage that would have be commented upon by the doctor. The last enema I gave myself I took with mild soap, very warm (almost hot) and very slowly. I experienced no cramps or discomfort. In point of fact, as I was filling sitting on the toilet what I did experience was how comforting, relaxing and soothing it was. A wonderful experience! Server procedure my butt!

Just a note, I got one of those, long story but…the tubing was kinked and didn't way to straighten out, even after soaking in hot water, and the screw in connector for the nozzle and at the bag all leaked. I kind of fixed things with a bit of electrical tape around the threads and the kinked spots, but they really aren't worth the money.

Just my dos centavos

Fleet used to sell a BagEnema kit in a cardboard box, and apparently still do:

I've no idea if they are actually available. They were well-made, heavy gauge disposable plastic bags with hose, clamp, and the nozzle was the rounded end tubing, about the size of a Fr 24 catheter. A pad and a packet of soap (mix of castile soap and glycerin) was also included.

I think they have vanished from the consumer market because of poor sales, Today, pretty much the equal are available from many on-line suppliers for about $2 or less. My personal preference are the MDI:

But it or any of the equals will work to make someone poo rapidly.

It was more than a year ago the last time I checked the local Rite Aid. I don’t usually shop there but was curious what they might have. As I approached the general area, I saw a woman stocking shelves and decided to ask, partly to see her reaction. I asked her where I could find an enema bag. She led me to the laxative aisle and pointed to the Fleet and store brand disposable enemas. I told her I did not like that type but wanted an enema bag, where you put in your own water or other mixture. She said we need to ask the pharmacist where I repeated my request. He led us to the feminine hygiene aisle and handed me a typical douche/enema combination bag saying that should work for me. It was a typical low quality bag you get these days at the drugstore.

The takeaway from this, is that middle aged woman has never had a “real” enema with a bag because she did not know what an enema bag was and that they had them.

They should be in that area. Also look in the feminine hygiene area. If you can not find them, E bay and Amazon along with other websites has a vast collection of bags. Personally, I recommend the websites as the enema bags and sets are much better than any drug store enema kit will ever be.

@Tingue77 : I beg your pardon, I guess your question would better fit in the «Devices, equipments, lubricants, etc.» section…

@Sean : Both products you posted a link to are unavailable, if only for the time being.

As a side question: Sean, are you sure that the liquid soap included with Fleet Bagenema kits (and many similar disposables) is a mixture of soap and glycerin? Where did you get that? I ask because I did a bit of research about (standing to instructions and supplied quantity the dilution ratio would make for an overly irritating solution) and, while one of the brands - can't recall the name right now - states something along the lines of “sequestering agents” wich turns out to be some kind of phosphates (glycerin is never mentioned), with other brands the foil packet's clear side show some kind of green soap, even if (mis)labeled “castile”. BTW both aren't real castile soaps: Dr. Bronner's, for one, it is.

@TheWay

That's what I read on the enema soap package.

Thank you. Another bit of useful (keep away!) information. 😄 So they were heavily into the irritation concept, very early 1900's. No wonder so many people are still put off by the mere notion. An irritating, dehydrating substance coupled with a soap of questionable purity, and the dosage as per instructions would make for an overly powerful solution whereas an extra pint of plain warm water skilfully administered would be just as effective. Of course an afterward rinse is never mentioned I bet. Happy dry heaves! 🙄

Being the enema an interactive practice, not a passive one, education on the topic should include relaxation, inner awareness and position change. Listen, feel, compare, experiment… There's more than the third/third/third as per ‘medical’ advice with the die-hard flock of sick commonplaces and the general notion of giving the colon a sudden sharp squeeze instead of a slow, encouraging inner hug. Moreover, massage, timing and measured, skilful exertion of abdominal muscles to help the enema do its job till elimination, even if only to circumvent the oft occurring poaching of enema fluid - be it tap water or isotonic solution - which is unlikely to happen with even the mildest soapsuds solution. At that point stick with the nasty squeezebottles, huh?

@TheWay

Regarding the enema soap packets, the quantity is not large, perhaps 15 to 20ml. that is plenty to cause a powerful urge to poo but is not what would be considered a strong solution when mixed with 1500ml of warm water. In fact, it is about one tablespoonful, perhaps a bit more.

On these pages many have suggested far stronger solution, perhaps 2 Oz or 60ml of Dr Bonner's per bag, which is about 3 or 4 times stronger.

As to glycerine in enemas, the typical smallest size “fig” or Asian mini-enema for adults is about 20ml of 50% glycerin/water, so is about the same dose of glycerin. A Fleet Liquid Glycerin Applicator gives about &ml. Both of these are designed to relieve simple constipation, and are not designed for complete clean outs.

There is no question the soap packet increases the poo power of the disposable bag enema kits, but not unduly so. Suck kits are used in hospital when a doctor wants a person to poo without delay.

As to a rinse, I've never received one. Only once, after being given a bag with the soap packet, did I have a second urgent, soft poo a few hours later.

In a capsule, I don't thing there are any negatives to getting a bag of warm water, with or without the soap, if you can't poo.

Castile soap packets are usually ⅓rd ounce. Some are labeled 9 ml. That is roughly the same amount.

@Victoria1951

OK, I didn't have one handy to check. I thought they were ⅔ of an ounce. So what I wrote applies doubled.

Here is a company I just ran across, if you are interested they have all types of goodies..mostly disposable enema kits buckets, catheters and etc.. shipping is very cheap. Flat rate . And prices are unbelievable..my stuff was shipped the same day. arrived in two days..guess reason being so fast we are a connecting state..but still very impressive for this day in time..
