What is the right temperature for a safe enema?

Every day I take at least a couple of two-liter enemas, in the morning. Hot water and salt, temperature around 40c. Once, by mistake, I used much hotter water (I don't know "how much" hotter); it was very, very pleasant but I didn't repeat it for fear of doing damage. I read that many love "very" hot water, but how hot? What do you think is the maximum temperature to stay safe?

110F or 44c is safe. I’ve gone to 115F.

You’re safe with a wrist test much like you would test baby formula.

The highest temperature I used was 41c. I felt like it was burning me inside. I feel best at 38-39c.

@Meridian. My Mom used the wrist test when she gave me soapsuds enemas, just hot enough to sting on the inside of her wrist. Today I measure the temperature of the solution with a bath thermometer and aim for 110 F. which feels warm but not too hot.

Another thread discussed favorite temps for enemas and some of those posts also touched on safety. I think this post was pretty good describing 105F as their safe upper limit (credit to @Victoria1951 )

That’s how mom, grandma, and our aunts checked water temperature when they gave us enemas as kids. Then as preteens, when our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene, she showed us how to use our wrist to test the water temperature. Basically, if the water was warm to the wrist, it was fine for an enema. Cautioning us about letting the water get too cold or too hot. I’ve followed those guidelines ever since and never had an issue with water temperature.

I temp my enema water with a digital thermometer. I prefer 106 - 108°F. from the faucet. I expect by the time I pour it in my bag, get in position, insert my nozzle, and open the clap plus the water is loosing a little heat flowing through the hose.

A little more then your body temperature. Because when the Enema are going out from a long hose , the temperature drops to some degree. You can measure the temperature going out the Enema hose to calculate the best 🤒🌡️

I always use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water. The maximum temperature I have used is 110 deg. I have noticed that when I use 110 deg water it seems to be easier to take with less cramping. The majority of the time I use 105 degree water and it seems to work well for me and it’s completely safe.

Me and my wife do a coffee enema almost everyday and have the temp at just above body temp 36C or max 43-44C. We find that works best for us and is safe.

As I don't use a thermometer to measure the temperature I can't give a number. I feel the water with my lips. They can only take a certain temp before they get burnt. And if they get burnt, my sub's colon will get hurt.

Since the internal temperature of our body is around 37 degrees, I have rad that around 37 should be the best, but my sweet friend doesn't agree and she prefer fresher 😃 usually around 25, she says it makes her feel cleaner 😃 I'd like to make she try a bit hotter, about 38 or 39 (celsius) degrees, but (till today) I was unable to convince her

Years ago a home health nurse gave me enemas at body temperature, but I prefer the warmth that I feel around 105°. I get a more thorough cleanse at that temp when I’m able to get the enema higher up and hold it in if I can deep breathe for 5 to 10 minutes.

I have agree with Vicki V that 105° is just about right. I am able to take more solution and hold it longer when temperature is not too warm or too cold.

I don't know the exact temperature but I usually test it on my penis if it feels like the water is about the same temperature as the air in the room not too cold or hot I go with it. I read something a long time ago that if the water feels like there is no temperature change from the room temperature when you touch it to a sensitive area like the penis or anus it's good. I have had no problems since then.

I put my hand in the bag, I agree

With about 105 f.

Since I do a lot of coffee enemas, cool it with ice.

The main thing to remember, especially for those of us who like hot soapsuds enemas, is that if the enema solution is too hot to put your hand in, it is too hot to put up your fanny!! Temperature extremes should be avoided, so I would also recommend staying away from ice-water enemas. This is a hard rule for me to follow because I have a list of people I would love to give an ice water enema to!! 😃

Warm not hot is the best!

If you want to go hot just don't go much hotter than bath water.

You also don't want to get too cold. It can make the body too cold

Either one can disrupt the rhythm of the heart!

A remedy for athletes foot, when the skin is breaking down and cracking open is salty water 115 degrees Fahrenheit. My feet turn RED, and it kills the fungus.

An experiment concerning your butt: Use a digital chef's meat thermometer.

Make a POT or bucket of such a foot bath, OK? Take a sip, your mouth knows about hot drinks, giving you a good reference along with the digital.

Sit in a chair and put you feet in the 115F till they tell you, "Ee-enough!"

Now sit in it. Predictably, your butt will not get nearly as agitated by the hot water as your feet do and will let you sit in it with no alarming problem at all.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE AND PROTECT YOUR ASS,,, hole buddy. Your anus and colon are not able to give you hot signals like your feet or mouth.

To all my friends, please do not infuse with enema waters above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. 😉

If you have ever made any kind of cultured brews, we never allow it to get up to or even near 110 F

That is why a short dip into 115 F is therapeutic on infected feet. But on the other hand do not force anyone to keep their feet in hot water either, nor their butt. It can be destructive.

I have used hot saline wash rag to hold against an infected eye lid. But understand, this is lots different than flooding your innards with hot water. 😕
