When Travelling?

Does anyone usually use enemas before after or during travel? I'm traveling solo next week for work..

When I traveled for business, I usually took a series to clean out completely before leaving. That resulted in 3-5 days without the need for a BM. Only a couple times did I pack equipment and take any while away. Upon arriving home, I took as many enemas as necessary to thoroughly clean out again. This procedure made trips, sometimes long ones, acceptable.

Lots of members take enema equipment with them when traveling. If you're traveling by air, carry it in your checked luggage. Many use them to relax while stuck in a hotel room! There's been a fair amount of discussion about traveling with enemas, funny incidents etc.

Since I deal with chronic constipation, I frequently need enemas during travel. Sometimes, circumstances permit a full bag enema. More often, I use a Fleet or even one of the tiny docusate sodium mini-enemas. The level of relief does not approach that of a bag enema, but at least it makes a dent in the constipation. I usually need to clean myself out with a deep soapy enema shortly after arriving home from extended travel.

Pre-emptive enemas prior to travel diminish the liklihood of needing to find an acceptable toilet, especially with luggage or crowds lining up and filthy restrooms if a road trip is your method of travel.

Enemas in a hotel room can help with boredom, or to prepare for various activities during one's stay.

Enemas upon getting back home, can help reset one for the usual responsibilities of daily life.

BTW...did I mention that I enjoy an enema for just about any reason?

I like the thought of doing an enema before travel. Never have but agree, trying to find a bathroom while travel especially when flying. I'm an anxious pooper so I will hold it so I don't have to use an airplane bathroom. Normally don't have a problem if we stay in the States but if am international, I always have a problem pooping. This might be the answer to my problem. Thanks

Buy some disposable bags on eBay or Amazon. They are flat so easy to pack in your checked luggage. If you don't want to dry them out for the return trip just toss in the trash.

Never leave home without one of my enema bags and assorted nozzles packed in my checked baggage. It's come in handy more times than I can count.

As I have to travel frequently purchased a standard shower adaptor nozzle set. Usually do after long distance flights at the hotels before going to bed.

An enema before, during, or after travel was quite common for me. If my travel is expected to take more than a few hours, I often take a good enema in the morning to avoid needing to go in a gas station restroom or airport restroom. Some of them are not nice.

When I was working I did some travelling with overnight stays for business. If I was alone, I avoided sitting in the bar and having to fend off other drunk salesmen. I often spent the evening in my hotel room having one or more long relaxing enemas. That saved me from having to justify the bar bill on my expense account, and potentially other problems. And of course, a good enema when you get home is a good way to reset yourself for the daily routine ahead.

When my daughter was young I bought an inexpensive folding syringe that I would pack and take with us when traveling. I think it might have been used but three times--once for her and twice for me.

During my 40s and 50s, I was away from home 3 to 4 days some months at meetings and visiting project sites for the firm. I dislike those tiny restrooms on airplanes, even in business class.

On longer flights, I used to get up at 4am and took a high enema before leaving for the airport. What a hassle! I packed only a bulb syringe if I needed to use it during the trip.

I discovered early-on that trying to hang in enema bag in a hotel bathroom can be a challenge. Except for a clothes hook on the bathroom door, which is too high for me, they haven’t thought to provide an “enema syringe hook” lower down, even in the best hotels. I must mention that to the management someday!

I do it during and after. During as I'm gone for over a week and after to help clean out after eating food I usually don't. I during I do it every 3 days and it really helps.

Over 20 years ago when my job required that I travel for 2-3 weeks at a time four times a year, I used to always do an enema the night before departure, another each evening in my various hotel/motel rooms, and then a good cleanout upon returning home. I used to pack my old-fashioned amber latex folding syringe (damn I miss that thing) in my checked luggage in case my carry-on was searched.

Hi Chase

I have a history of constipation admittedly. Travel is a problem, usually due to not consuming enough water. International travel is particularly bad with time zone changes.

It’s important to keep your natural BM s on same schedule. I have been to Europe many times and needed enemas sincerely. Packing a 10 ounce bulb is the answer.

I have set an alarm to remind me it’s time for my enema whatever time zone I am in.

Travel safely,

When I was still working, I traveled to Arizona for several days at a time. I always brought my enema bag with me and used it each night at bed time. When I was done I hung it in the bathroom shower to dry. If the housekeeping girl came in to make up my bed, she no doubt would see it, but she never said anything; however, if I saw her in the hallway, she always smiled and said hello!

This is a very good idea. But I don't usually do this, I just take a little enema with me, just in case.

Always take my double balloon nozzle with me when traveling. Enema in the morning and evening makes extra relaxed vacation !

I always get constipated when travelling. I usually bring a syringe enema with me when I know I'll be able to use it to help with that.

I traveled extensively for my career. Bowel movements were always a concern to me. I didn’t suffer from chronic constipation but had it occasionally. Today because of Ozempic and aging that is a different story. My company was even concerned with this. When I went in for overseas vaccinations they gave you a mediacal kit which included Dulcolax tablets. I didn’t use these because of unpredictability and maybe not having a toilet close by.

I always took my own kit consisting of Dulcolax suppositories and micro-lax mini enemas I bought in Europe (not available in the US, why I don’t know). The other thing I liked to do was research the availability of enema equipment on the local markets. I could only do this when I had days alone between destinations or awaiting arrival of other team members. I was able to find Higginson syringes in most of Asia, a disposable bag in Sweden, and a complete colon kit in Germany with a 1 liter bucket and several rectal nozzles. Once at a Walmart in Kansas I found a combo enema kit for under $2.00, extremely low quality.

One thing I noticed is that in Japan and China you could buy fig enemas which consisted of an ampule filled with glycerin everywhere. They were actually called enemas. I heard that young women actually carry them in their purses for instant relief.

I never travelled with enema equipment but I did return with what I had purchased.

Use mini syringe

In my small toiletry bag i keep a disposable enema bag, called a bag-enema, made by fleet. Don't know if they still make them, it got a lot of use on trips.

When my siblings and I were growing up, mom always carried a douche/enema bag when we were traveling. During the summer, when we went to the beach for a week, we could count on getting an enema or two for one reason or another from mom. However, when moms two teenage sisters joined us, like grandma, she gave the job to her sisters.

If I am traveling alone and not by air, I will always take my enema gear with me. If not alone or traveling by air, I will do a lengthy series the day before

Alway did enemas before long travels.

And if i have time do enemas in hotel room.

Waiting for my next travel.

Always take my bag and nozzles with me as it provides for relief and fun times

One thing I forgot to mention. The evening before leaving on a long trip, more than four hours, mom always gave us a couple of enemas. Which meant, the evening before leaving for the beach for a week, we got a couple of enemas. And the same thing happened the evening before leaving the beach to return home. Which was another reason mom packed her douche/enema bag when traveling with us. It was to avoid having to stop for potty breaks while driving. Something my wife and I learned once we had kids of our own. Kids never have to go at the same time. And the cure was a couple of enemas beforehand. It worked when we were kids, and it worked for our kids.

@sirensong and I will usually administer enemas to each other before any travel that involves airplanes to avoid the inevitable airplane/travel induced constipation. For us, enemas are usually intensely sexual and our love-making that accompanies the administration is spectacular, but the health benefits are undeniable......

When I was growing up I often got constipated while on a trip. If we were going to be travelling the next day or going to a theme park, instead of giving me a laxative which would give me a day long bout of diarrhea my Mom would buy a Fleet Enema at the nearest drugstore and give me that in the evening to make me poop before I went to bed.
