Folding Latex Travel Syringes

I have always had a latex folding syringe for travel. When my old one wore out, I attempted to buy another online and was shocked to discover that they had apparently disappeared from the face of the earth.

Does anyone know where one can obtain a new one of these syringes? I don't feel like paying the huge prices charged on Worth and dBay.

If I knew more about latex fabrication, I might start a new business since I feel the demand is there.

I wonder if any of these custom latex vendors would be interested in manufacturing this item.

I'm just throwing this out to see if anyone has any information on this subject.

I think Walmart has them. Is this what you’re looking for?

No that is not it. What the link you posted shows is not a folding syringe. A folding syringe is simply a slimmer bag with tubing. The syringe in your link is a syringe that used to be advertised as a “Shy” travel syringe. But thanks for your help.

Over the years I have had several latex folding syringes. The early ones were amber colored latex, later they were more commonly yellow or pink. The prime advantage of these was that they were compact and usually had a little case to store them in making them perfect for travel. I am a bag watcher and liked seeing the bag collapse on itself as it went empty.

Of course, they were not that durable. Eventually the metal grommet around the hanging hole would tear out of the bag so they didn't last as long as the typical combo bag or open top fountain syringe. That coupled with the manufacturers going away from latex because of reported allergies is why you don't see them anymore.

I, too, miss the small folding pink or yellow-colored enema bag with the white carrying case. It filled and was almost pumpkin-shaped. I am unable to find this bag; I don't believe it is made any longer. Those bags had such a great flow.

Folding travel syringes seem to be more common in Europe these days than in the USA. To find them you will have to go to a surgical store that has rubber goods. My husband and bought several in Denmark recently. For whatever reason, they only came with a vaginal nozzle for douching and no enema nozzle. In Poland, all the drugstores seem to have folding “feminine” syringes in the family planning area along with the condoms along with a wide selection of spermicides.

Dita, were those the typical folding/travel syringes so common in the distant past? Even those small douche syringes without the typical fountain syringe setup are difficult to come by and are quite spendy.

My avatar is a facsimile that was sold by the "Collector". I've had it for years but the latex doesn't hold up all that well.

That was the bag I grew up on - pink with white tubing. To a teen boy, when filled it looked SO big. Then if would deliver its contents and get so small.

A company Cara, used to make them, flimsy as they were but has stopped. They continue to make red enema/combo bags and douche bulbs. You can Google them for info.

The other problem is latex. It is gone from the health care scene after some patients had allergic anaphylaxis and died when, what else, they were given barium enemas with latex balloon nozzles. It’s why your health care provider now wears those purple nitrile gloves. So long latex.

I remember the latex syringes and the majority of them are no longer made. There was probably not enough of a profit margin for companies to keep producing them. I do remember using a unique one that you would fill by holding it under a faucet, it would fill up like a balloon. There was a one way valve which would let the water in and it would stop the water from leaking out when you removed it from the faucet. Then you would insert the nozzle into any hole you wanted to and then push the big pressurized water balloon into the nozzle and there would be a immediate boner producing rush of water in your butt. The downside to them was they were not very high quality and would fail to work after a few uses.
