Which Laxative is better

I have always struggled with my bowls, and suppositories have become my go-to solution when things get backed up. I have tried various dietary changes, more water, more fiber, etc. I have used enemas but that is a bit of a mission and requires setting up. Sometimes a deep cleanse is good, but too often screws up my gut flora. So suppository I find are quick, discreet and efficient. You can take them on holiday, or at work if necessary. They work fast and effective. I am curious about other people’s experiences with suppositories. What is the best laxative suppository for you and why? I tried dukcolax (bisacodyl dulcolax) which was way too rough and caused some bleeding. I usually go with glycerine as it’s milder but affective. Recently my pharmacist offered me lecicarbon as an alternative because they didn’t have glycerine suppos in stock. I have never tried lecicarbon. Is it as affective as glycerine? And is it less severe than dulculax? Is it worth the experiment?

Personally I find that glycerin suppositories are the best: effective, not irritating, easy to take, no long preparation, no messy outcome to deal with.

And if I may add, also highly erotic, both at the moment of the insertion (better if you take the time to have some back and forth before pushing in deeply) and while melting. The slight burn is very hot for me along with the slowly growing urge to go…

Never used lecicarbon, but they work by generating gas. I'd put them as likely less effective than glycerin or bisacodyl. Personally I've tried injecting some air to my rectum and haven't seen much of a benefit.

As to what works best, that is something only you can figure out because bodies are different. Glycerin do tend to "soften and lubricate" a bit more, but at least in me they seem to only work on stool that is in or very near the rectum.

When I could take glycerin suppositories, I would take one and wait five minutes take another and wait five minutes and take the third one and wait additional five minutes and then go. Pretty effective for me. But with rectal cancer and rectal stenosis, it is daily Miralax for me.

I do not have any doubt. A daily glycerin suppository is the best solution. However if you wait more than 3 days without pooping the glycerin suppo probably will not be sufficient. Insert the suppository and wait for 30m and it works always for me.

I rarely need laxatives, but when I do I always find either the glycerin or Dulcolax suppositories work fine for me.

The Dulcolax may feel a little stronger than the Glycerin and produce a better result for me.

Dulcilax is very aggressive - for me. I have had bleed after dulolax. But I agree it is most affective. Result guaranteed. I tried the lexicarbon ones and they work great. More reliable than glycerin (atleast for me). Always makes me go within 15 min, glycerine sometimes I need a second one 30 min after the first. Also lexicarbon is more natural and doesn’t cause a dependency. You can use it safely more often without worrying about the consequences.
