Dulcolax or Glycerin Suppositories

I've not taken that many suppositories over the years. I find glycerine ones to be pretty effective with the predictable results. I've yet to experience Dulcolax suppositories but they are not so easily available in the UK - you can buy glycerine ones off the shelf but Dulcolax is "behind the counter".

Dulcolax I find too harsh. Yes they do their job very effectively, but glycerin suppositories I find much better and less gut wrenching.

I tried Dulcolax on one occasion. Not a fan. To harsh.

I have used glycerine many times over the years. I try to hold out a bit longer than stated on the package. Sometimes I even use 2 or 3. I always use a bit of water base lube to ease entry. Sometimes I rinse out a bit later with a bulb enema.

I have only used the glycerin suppositories with good results. I only used them for the "pleasurable feelings" and not the need of them. Never tried the Dulcolax ones. Maybe I should get some and try and see how they feel and work.

I had not used suppositories until recently. I was finding situations, when away from home, where it wasn't convenient to take my daily enema. I asked my kind friend, a retired RN, for suggestions and she recommended a regime of two Ducolax tablets before bed and a suppository in the morning.

Obtaining them does require a little "chat" with a pharmacist, but so does buying any laxative these days. I am fortunate to have a charming lady in that profession, also a colonic enthusiast, who is happy to sell me two packs at a time. So far no side effects and a reasonable bowel movement, but would still definitely prefer an enema.

@Jeanette_K following my Dulcolax suppository and tablet trial I spoke with my friend The Twinkling Granny who used to give me colonics. Sadly she has had to retire due to personal circumstances. This lady was a midwife and District Nurse. She recommended Microlax mini enemas. She told me that during her career she had used hundreds on patients and they were simple and effective to use. I bought a pack from an online pharmacy, they are not available on thr high street and a trial prove her correct. My friend definitely knows all about bowel management. I still prefer a conventional enema, but for travel these will be in my bag!

@ Thursdays child, I have the impression that the Microlax mini enema will be as effective as a liquid glycerin suppository. A nurse friend mentioned that it works very well and quickly will produce a bowel movement. Yes great for traveling too. I will have to try that. Lol Jeanette

Purchased a pack of dulcolax yesterday while grocery shopping. Heart started beating rapidly as soon as I picked up the pack in the grocery store. I'll be having one probably tomorrow morning before work. Always feel like I'm doing something naughty when I think about suppositories, I guess it's memories of my early childhood 🙃

I feel like dulcolax just gives me the urge to go but half the time I still can't & I've tried the magic bullets which are supposed to melt super fast. I've been experimenting a bit recently and bought some new brand I will probably try out but 90% of the time it's glycerin for me.

When I was a kid and my mom gave me a glycerin suppository in the morning after she had given me a laxative the night before and it didn't work as soon as I woke up it sometimes made me go but sometimes not. If I hadn't had a big bowel movement in about 20 minutes it was soapsuds enema time. In my teens she switched to Dulcolax suppositories or generic bisacodyl suppositories when they became available. They produced a strong burning feeling in my rectum and usually worked in about 10 minutes but often just made me pass a few hard pellets so out came the enema bag again. For a while in my teens and 20's she used Eva-Q-sert evacuant suppositories when my uncle who was a salesman for a drug company gave her several boxes of samples. They were dipped in water and quickly inserted in my rectum where they fizzed and released CO2 and an irritating substance that made me have to go in just a few minutes but continued to irritate for about another half hour. Again if they didn't cause a big bowel movement it would be enema time again.

I usually am not able to hold a dulcolax suppository for more than 30 minutes, if I am not using an applicator. However for some reason, with an applicator, I can go beyond an hour (the applicator stays all the way in, the full time). Someone in zity once told me (when I was using my now dormant old profile), that it has something to do with the depth to which the dulcolax suppository is pushed into the rectum. I wasn't convinced ofcourse, but somehow I am able to go much longer with an applicator than without one.

I agree with a lot of replies in this thread calling out the downside of dulcolax suppositories. I agree that they leave you with that burning sensation, which can be quite irritating. I also realised that dulcolax suppositories make me feel like I have to go even an hour after having a complete bowel movement. That in my opinion, is a problem because it leaves me in quite a predicament if I am outdoors or in a place with no easy access to a lavatory.

@Indian_lady Hello! I use Ducolax suppositories as part of my cleansing regime. At bedtime I take a Ducolax tablet then when I wake up I take a Ducolax suppository which I hold for twenty minutes abd then release. I follow this up with an enema,either soapy water or herbal tincture depending on what I wish to achieve. I follow thus up at breakfast time with another Ducolax tablet.

Interesting I have never experienced "burn" in my back passage from a Ducolax suppository. I have no experience of glycerin suppositories. I am however considering taking small glycerin in plants, say 50ml, of glycerin in place of the Ducolax suppository.

One thing I like about my regime is the assurance that I will not have to toilet when I am out of the house. I am active, spending time hiking and dancing as well as travelling and socialising.

So hope you can get your bottom into a happy place. Sincerely yours.

Hi @Thursdays_child , nice to know that you have never felt the 'burn' sensation that's typical to a dulcolax suppository. For me the burning sensation is the turn-off to quite an extent. However, come to think of it, maybe the enema does the trick for you by washing out the remnants of the dulcolax suppository.

@Indian_lady - I, too, have found that a mildly soapy enema following a Dulcolax suppository enhanced BM will eliminate the burning sensation. One word of caution: be close to the loo when you take the enema...residual effects of the bisacodyl make accidents happen. After decades of enemas, which have increased my tolerance for soapy enemas for up to an hour hold, I find it impossible to hold the soapy enema more than a couple of minutes after having moved my bowels with a Dulcolax suppository. BTW, have you checked Amazon for generic bisacodyl suppositories? They come in boxes of 100 and are dirt cheap!

I think I will try combining the glycerine and bisacodyl suppositories soon, following an enema. I like all the sweet juice I end up with in my bum from the glycerin, after holding for an hour, but I'm hoping the bisacodyl will make it harder to hold and result in me making a mess :O The butt snot sounds absolutely delightful to me!!

I have used both. Glycerin is good if I use more than 1 after a good cleaning like the way it feels when I let them dissolve all the way

Bisacodyl is for a deep cleaning following several enemas

Depends on my mood

For me, bisacodyl is best used as an ingredient in a large cleansing enema, usually along with some soap. Alone as a suppository is just too harsh.

Honestly, all this back-and-forth about suppositories has been driving me quietly wild. The way everyone has been describing the glide, the melt, the slow-building urge… I couldn’t take it anymore.

I just excused myself, unwrapped two glycerin ones, and slipped them in, slowly, deliberately feeling that cool, slick stretch and the immediate warm rush as they started dissolving.

Now I’m lying here, thighs pressed together, heart thumping, waiting for that delicious tingle to turn into something unstoppable.

Who knew forum talk could get me this worked up? 😈

Hope you're having great fun @Alexa1 xx

Got a glycerin supo in me right now

Dear Alexa !! - i am very surprised, that you are not only an excellent story writer, more than also a gourmet in using suppositories !! - hopefully for special feelings, ordered by your " play doc " !!

No such luck @4711koeln looks like I have to prescribe the treatment myself. Not many play docs interested in online play 🤭
