Double balloon nozzle pops out during use

Did 6-7 pumps on the latex double balloon nozzle from medtech and had it pop out during use. Has this happened to anyone else? Trying to be cautious to keep it from bursting, but I guess it was not big enough to hold the seal. Are there are other/better options for a larger balloon? Thanks

I regularly use ten squeezes of the bulb on mine. It won’t burst!

It happened to me once. I was too relaxed and the balloon came out. I have to say that for me, 7-8 times is enough for the inner balloon to hold firmly. I think there should be no problem pumping more.

I have a girlfriend that it happened to during a barium enema X-ray. She expelled all over the X-ray table and claims it was the most embarrassing event in her life.

I have never had a barium enema, Thank God! I understand that barium enemas are extremely rough. I hate X-rays anyhow as the X-ray table is so hard and they place in such awkward positions. I can't fathom how rough it would be while holding all that barium solution.

I have say that the latex model from medtech does need to be overinflated to make you hold it in 5 or 6 pumps will help you hold it but you still need to help it stay in by clenching but if you go with 10 pumps it becomes more efficient at making you hold it…that being said I really love the red and yellow model that they are discontinuing 10 pumps in that and you can’t push it out….so fun!

My experience with double balloon nozzles has not been good for the simple reason after a few uses the balloon tended to lose the ability to inflate due to a tear at the hose connection. Despite using appropriate cement, it held one more time then failed again. I stopped purchasing them. Totally unreliable.

Popping out can happen for two reasons:

- not fully inflated inner balloon - most common

- very stretched anus with fisting or playing with really big toys.

With any double balloon nozzle (aka DBC) with separately inflated balloons my advice is to carefully inflate outer balloon when nozzle is out, counting each 'pumps', until its surface is completely smooth and it does not grow in diameter. Then deflate fully and repeat for few times. Ensure that pump's metal nozzle is fully inserted into DBC, and when pumping you do not jerk it or tilt pump's nozzle in the tube. Note the number of 'pumps' needed each time. This should help with learning consistent pumping and establish the number of 'pumps' needed for full inflation. As well, while latex DBC from Medtech are good quality they are not 100% air tight. First latex is almost air tight but not 100%, but more significantly the pump's connection and pump's valve can leak air, ensure that it is fully closed. It is a good idea to add one more 'pump' half way through enema.

I am not the tightest one, can easily take over 2" thick things up my ass, but I popped latex DBC only twice, both times it was not fully inflated when it came out. With silicon DBC that has inner balloon twice size of latex one, popping out was more common, again all times due to under inflating it, because its size was making it uncomfortable before it was fully inflated. However, the bigger inner balloon can help people who are more stretched.

I have had two or three dbc's and had the inner balloon break while in use. When I used them I would relax and let the inner balloon hold it in when there was pressure in my colon to expel it. Besides when the inner balloons broke, a couple of times it just poped out from the pressure in my colon. Fortunately I was in the shower when it happened so no real cleanup problem. The dbc is my favorite nozzle. It allows me to take the most water and hold it easier. I have had both the latex and silicone. Latex is my favorite.

I'd suggest purchasing from Optimal Health Network. I've been using one of theirs for several months and have been pleased with the results. The quality is very good and they're quite durable.

Using too much lubricant?
