Long Colon Tubes

I think finding the right size colon tube is really key to be able to insert a tube deep into the colon. I have had the most luck with a smaller tube that is about 1/3 inch in diameter. I usually can insert it to its full length of 30 inches. I have a larger tube that is about 3/4 inch wide and 48 inches long and have only been able to insert it about 14 inches before it hits a stopping point. I think the larger tube is a bit too stiff to navigate the first set of bends coming out of the rectum.

The best advice based on years of experience is to slowly advance the tube once you have cleared your colon of stool and then fill the colon creating a water channel that opens up your colon. Then you can begin to push and hopefully advance the tube without any resistance.

I read that most of the colon tube users advocate running water to help open things up.

Does this create any leaking as you advance the tube further in - as I'm assuming you need to release your butt grip a little in the process?

I understand that some of you do this in the tub or shower where some leaking wouldn't be a problem.

I have used my 48inch colon tube fully inserted many times!!! Go slow and LOTS of lubricant!!!

Generally there is no leaking and you do not have to release the clench on your butt to advance the tube if you are well lubricated and I DON'T find you need an oil or silicone based lube to do it. I actually prefer water based lubes for all my anal insertions.

The very best, has mentioned to be very careful. I know I need to keep going and use a colon tube some, but always go slow

I find that I have to put 1-1/2 to 2 qts in before trying to get the tube in more than 3" to 4" because the colon goes around a corner there. Likewise when it is in about a foot. Besides inflating the colon, you need to move it in and out a couple of inches each time as you slowly advance it into you. After I have inflated it enough, I turn the water off and put it in as far as I can and then turn the water back on and finish filling myself with two to four quarts, depending on how I feel about it, but you can keep the water flowing the whole time that you are pushing it in.

I had 13 cm of my colon taken out some years ago because of a tumor, so I cannot put in as many inches as many of you, but I still manage to get 2-1/2 to 3 feet in.

Deep enemas using a colon tube are the best! I find that once to tube goes into the transverse colon (12" to 15" beyond the anus), the flow can reach all the way to the cecum very comfortably. No need to push the tube in deeper unless you enjoy the psychological aspect of deep anal penetration.

Jofsig--You may be right that only 12"-15" is necessary. I just like to put 30"-40" in for the sensual enjoyment of putting it in and out.

Was shopping on line, since stores don't carry enema bags any more, and found one that has 4 qts, and comes with the super tube. I will buy it! blue one.

I have a silicone tube about 46 inches long. If you have a steady slow flow you can insert the whole length without lube. But you have to have the flow. Once past the sigmoid, its clear sailing most times!

I use a higginson when inserting a colon tube into a girl. The pumping action makes it really easy to get the tube to advance.

I'm curious as to some sizes people are referring to. I have several fairly short colon tubes, perhaps 12-14", I bought or was given from Beth Tyler a number of years ago, but only remember trying to get one of the thicker ones in one time and then moved on to other things. Now I'm very interested in trying them again. After a long upcoming weekend, I'll start working with the colon tubes again. The largest is about 36 or maybe 40 Fr, which only converts to about 1/2" or less, but posters have mentioned what appears to be up to 1.25-1.5" diameter colon tubes. Should I find a larger size than 40 Fr to make it easier to insert lengths longer than 12-24"? Obviously I don't know the internal dimensions of my colon yet as I haven't been successful so far. The other prior technique suggestions have been very helpful. Thanks.

Has anyone tried the PIE device? I understand its a computer programmed type of enema, which pulsates the water, very similar to a Water Pic, used primarily on individuals with certain bowel disorders, lacking muscle tone in the rectal region. Kindly advise!

There was a time where long colon tubes were attached directly to the resevoir that provided the Enema itself

An example of this could be found in English nursing practice where the colon tube would be connected to a Funnel .... Funnels of the time could be either white porcelain enamelware (with & without a side handle) and also made of a heavy kind of stippled / ribbed glass

Repeated refilling done with a closely matching white porcelain enamel coated water pitcher

While l have a variety of long colon tubes at my disposal ive often had the thought & desire to receive an Enema administered through a funnel by a legit ward Nurse wearing traditional attire, white stockings, matching waist apron, breast / lapel mounted thermometer case & lapel fixed timepiece ... and a warm cheeky smile as she says ... "please turn over on your side for me & draw you upper leg up"

@That_Australian

...I would like this idea too...

and there are many variations of giving enemas that have not yet been tried...

...a nice topic...🤗😎

I’ve never felt the need to go up beyond 15 inches or so with a 20Fr. rectal tube. Totally comfortable inserted to its full length. It has given me very through cleanses when i’ve needed them.
