Rubber Enema Tube

Hey UK'ers...

Anyone know shops where I can purchase rubber tubing for an enema? Not looking for anything online. Looking for walk in shops etc

Thanks xx

For what it's worth, here in the US many of the hardware stores carry typical latex tubing. It is amber in color and usually sold in 10' lengths. It has become a bit spendy (25.00 usd). There are some mail order places that sell other colors and sometimes medical supply stores sell "therapy bands" which can work for an enema setup.

Hi, some while back now i was in the Taunton branch of Wickes, cant remember exactly why, but i happened to find my self in the isle where all the plumbing stuff was, and there it was, a coil or red rubber hose, about 5/16 dia. bought it, to use it on my enema bag, but the question is, what do plumbers do with such hoses ?

@sirwilliam55 thanks for that, I'm off to my local Wickes lol. I'll report back my findings 👌

Forgive me for not knowing availability as I’m in the US. But any place that sells catheters, you can get Red rubber Rob Nell catheters back in the old days before bean counters found out how much money was spent on antibiotics due to UTI caused by improper handling. You used the catheter and then boiled it for 20 minutes allowed to cool and dry before reusing. Here in the states your supposed to have a prescription but many places don’t care if your paying out of pocket about paperwork.

I have known many people to use Rob Nell as a colon tube and unless your going to put it in other holes where sterility is best practice you don’t have to be meticulous about boiling your rubber.

(generally temporary) low pressure air, gas or water lines. Also can be used for support or resistance. Big stores don't always have the rubber kind because vinyl tubing is better for some long term things and they don't have to worry about improper storage ruining it.
