How old were you when you got your first Kit?

I was about 22 when I purchased a 2L bag off the internet, I was so excited when it showed up.

Took three bags that day, still remmeber how loose I was afterwards.

And you?

My beginning was in childhood. I got it from my mother a couple of times from a light bulb. It was an enema for a high fever when I was sick. And it really worked.

Then when I got a little older, it was a few times from a rubber bag. That was also from my parents when my stomach hurt.

That's where the magic began. I always love this feeling, the process of filling and expelling.

After I got married, I used my wife's bag. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't like it.

A few years later, I bought my own bag to replace the old one.

Now I have two enema bags, I use them when I want.

I love enemas

I was 22 and newly married .A Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) nurse who cared for me at home gave me enemas after I was critically injured in an accident said I should have equipment of my own and for my family in future years.

In the fall of 1984, I went to a hospital medical supply store and bought a fountain syringe, a 24Fr rectal tube (embarrassing at the time) suggested by a clerk who was a retired nurse, and hot water bottle. I was a newbie at the time, but these purchases turned out to be very useful for me and my husband and two daughters over the years.!

19 yrs old.

I got my first job and the first thing I did with my first paycheck was buying a enema bag, the classic 2 litters red bag with white hose. Now I wanna buy a 3 litter bag with inflatable nozzle.

I was twelve. I went to the drug store for my first enema bag. It was a Journey Gem., bright yellow.

The sales clerk asked how old I was.

I said twelve

She asked what I was going to do with this?

I told my mother sent me to get this because she said I need an enema

She smiled and took my money

I was 19 and in my first apartment while at college. I got one of those pink douche bags that had a single metal grommet through the thin rubber material. It looks so obscenely sexy when it was full but that grommet couldn’t take the abuse and ripped out so it got replaced with a douche bulb.

As preteens, once enemas were our personal responsibility. My siblings and I started swapping enemas with one another, continuing until we finished High School. When our sister was twelve, not long before she turned thirteen, grandma gave her a douche/enema bag. In the fifties, it was common for girls to receive a douche/enema bag, but not boys. Hence, my brother and I never received one. However, once our sister received hers, we routinely used it on each other, whenever we swapped enemas. Discovering it was two and a half quarts, not two quarts, like the family enema bag. It wasn’t until I got married, in my early twenties, that my wife and I got our own douche/enema bag. One of many we owned over the years we were married.

Age 22 - Newly married and needed for spouse. Probably ended up with equal use for each of us until the bag finally sprung a leak. We have gone thru a bunch of bags over the years.

When I left home to take a job after college, my mom packed a large box of things to set up house keeping. In that box was an enema kit. It has long since worn out and been replaced but I always keep one in my closet.

If I recall correctly I was in my late teens. I went to a pharmacy out of my neighborhood so not to see anyone I knew, by this time my parents moved to the top floor of our house and we had a beautiful finished basement that was now all mine . So I went to this pharmacy a few times to check out the enema bags I remember being very nervous and excited. I definitely chickened out a few times before this time I picked up an open top feminine douche bag and went to pay for it , the woman behind the counted was a mature woman in her 50s she looked at me then the enema bag and smiled and charged me. The enema bag I bought myself wasn’t as nice as my moms but it would have to do,I want to say I was around 16 /17 .

I was twenty-years old, working my first job on an out-of-town assignment. I went to a nearby Kmart and bought a rubber combination bag. As soon as I got to my motel room I spread the rubber shower curtain over the bed and took my first enema with my own equipment. That bag last about ten years and provided many pleasurable enemas.

I was 18 and in my second semester of college when under peer pressure I bought myself a syringe for feminine hygiene but it wasn't until nearly five years later that I purchased a combination bag primarily because I was concerned about enemas and douching from the same bag. The folding syringe died years ago but we still have and use the combination one.

I was twenty-one, engaged, and accumulating things for my own home when I bought my first combination douche/enema set at a local drugstore. Pretty sure it was a Faultless set. Prior to that I always had access to the bulb and bag at home.

I was 19 and move out from home for the first time. I headed down to the local corner drug store. The older female clerk seeing my embarrassment helped me make a selection of red closed top bag. I got many years of enjoyment out of that bag but eventually it sprang a leak and it was replaced.

I was 19, maybe 20 when I bought my first kit. It was a Faultless combination kit. I remember buying it at a eckerd drug store, 800 miles from home. Funny thing is, I needed some blank VHS tapes as well, so I figured I'd pick them up at the same time. The look on the cashiers face when I went to check out was priceless.

I was around 19 when i move out of home for college and received from my mom my own enema bag. Still remeber that heavy red rubber bag

I was 7 years old when myy. Weekly enemas were started by my grandmother who was a nurse

I was 26 when I bought my own enema equipment. I got enemas from mom from as early as I can remember and started giving myself enemas at about 10, because I liked them. There were things at home to use. After several years of technical school and the Army when there were no enemas, I got married and moved out of state for a new job. About the same time, I saw the Penthouse Letters and found out that I was not the only person who liked enemas and it rekindled my desire for a good enema. On my way home from work, I stopped at a local Walgreens and bought myself a bulb syringe, and shortly after I brought a Faultless bag syringe. Since my wife didn’t grow up with enemas like I did, I kept them in my shop and then, when my wife would be out shopping or whatever, I would give myself an enema. After a while, I decided to get her involved and bought a whole new bulb and bag for us to use together.

I would not say first purchase perse but when I was 17 I had my second barium enema and the doctors nurse explained the prep and handed me a fleet prep kit #2. It came with a bottle of liquid laxative and I think 2 Bisacodyl pills. Plus a green fleet bagenema which is how they spelled it I had to take one the night before and the morning of and the other two things were first the day and night before. Mom Insisted on giving them because she thought I would not do them the right way. Uhgggg 17 getting an enema from mom the night one everyone was home and knew what was happening mom of course announced at dinner while I was drinking chicken broth and everyone had a regular meal. After dinner if you need to use the bathroom do it by 8pm greg will be getting an enema for his test tomorrow. Uhhhgggggggg.

I started in my early 20s, I went from a dodgy makeshift diy set up, to a bulb that I still have, then a shower kit that has a gravity fed bag they hangs from the shower head. The nice thing about that is it's a continuous source of water without the pressure of a shower nozzle.

I was 20, working full time and just got my first apartment. Within a few days of moving in I stopped at a drugstore along my commuting route and bought my first combo set. It got a lot of use over the next dozen or so years.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while trying to narrow down when I was provided my own enema kit rather than sharing a kit that would be cleaned and sanitised after use with my siblings or on rare occasions, my cousins. I think I was 8 or 9 when I walked into the bathroom and saw an additional bag hanging from the shower rail with “Sammy” written on it. I’m not sure who purchased it, probably my mother, but I’m fairly confident my father wrote my name on it as my mother preferred to call me Samantha as if I was in trouble every time she spoke to me. Apart from my name, it was identical to the others.

No one ever told us to start using it instead of the shared bag, but my sister amd/or my brother started preparing it for me in my own bag straight away. I think I was 9 or 10 the first time I prepared my own enema all by myself.

As I have said in other posts, I never disliked having enemas, so I felt some pride in the fact it was my enema kit. I kept the same kit until my late teens when I decided it was time to buy a new kit. It sounds funny, but I kept the nozzle and it is still in the draw with my enema accoutrements.

@NurseSammy This is a bit offtopic, but why did you have to buy a new kit?

@Jacana it was old and did not look clean anymore.

Late teens, I had a job, debt card, and the internet. Bought the Super XL bag from Optimal Health and severely underestimate how fast it'd flow with the wide tube. Had it for a few years and loved it.

I was 16, just received my drivers license and I went to a drugstore out of my neighborhood so I would not meet anyone that I knew. Bought a yellow latex folding travel syringe. I think it was a Faultless brand. It only lasted a few years due to that one hanging eyelet in that thin latex, but WOW did it look big when filled all the way up!

When I was about 14 I used my mom's kit without her knowing and I loved it! It was not till I was about 21 that I got my own kit and I still have it. It is a standard red bag I love it so much. I do wanna experiment with different nozzles tho.

When I was 17 I lived with my grandparents for a year as they really needed my help and I hated my high school - an opportunity to go to a different HS which was a wonderful thing for me! Win-win! My grandparents introduced me to the wonderful world of enemas for health and relaxation. They bought me a very nice enema kit with several nozzles. My favourite was a rather bulbous retention nozzle.

I had been given enemas by my Mom when I was growing up. Then in my mid-20's after graduating from university I moved out on my own to start a new job as a high school teacher. I soon found that I was often getting constipated and after trying various laxatives which often didn't work or had me having to go frequently during the workday and trying suppositories with almost no success I bought my own Faultless 4-in-1 closed top combination enema bag, douche bag, hot water bottle and ice bag at a local drugstore and started using it after several days of constipation, saving the laxatives for the weekend if I needed them when I wasn't at work to give my bowels a good cleaning out.
