Men, what water do you use for an enema?

Hey Men....

Just a quick question about what type of water do you use. I've always used distilled water when mixing a solution for my enemas. Question is.... is it okay to use tap water ?

I would appreciate any answers or comments. I can respond to direct messages or an answer in the discussion group.

Thanks guys for your help, looking forward to hearing from you 🤗 🏳️‍🌈

As long as it is considered drinking water I have used it for enemas.

I wouldn't do it in the third world, but if you can drink it, it's probably fine.

Any water suitable for drinking is also suitable to go in the other end.

Hey guys, and thanks. I appreciate your response . I really needed one lol, wanted one and didn't want to get back out of the apartment to pick up the distilled water. So I'm trying to water.ya know back in the day thats all my dad used on me. Just didn't think of that. Sorry

Well im over 25,000gallons of city tap water so i,m a thinking it,s Aok

I don’t see any reason not to use tap water. A San Francisco gay article states that excessive use of tap water can create electrolyte imbalances…it’s a non scientific article I just scanned. Read it if you want and make your own judgement I’ll stick to tap water

Been using tap water for the past 70 some years. Prolly will for the next few.

I use tap water. Looks like a lot of others do too.

Depends on the water. Back in homeland tap water always damaged my bowel micro-flora and causing mild spasms. Here in France I never met such issues, and tap water works perfectly fine. Both are safe for drinking, so maybe it depends on water purification methods

In most of Europe where tap water is also drinking water, it is safe to use.

Tap water, well water, any water - if you can drink it safely you can shoot it up yer butt.

Just add salt and/or baking soda to the tap water if you are going to retain it. I use both; the baking soda makes the expulsion much smoother. There are lots of articles with recommendations of amounts...

As long as water is potable, it is fine for an enema. After many, many years of water enemas, there does not seem to be any issue at all

I use tap water with about a tablespoon to a tablespoon and a half of sea salt per 1000 to 1500ml - Depending on how the water seems to me at the time and how warm the water is for my particular 'session'.

I use a similar amount of sea salt when I use a bit of brandy in the 'mix' - very carefully and responsibly...

I have been using good Yorkshire water for my enemas for over twenty years and my wonderful colon hydrotherapist uses it too. However at her suggestion I use Microlax mini enemas when away from home.

If you can drink it safely, you can use it safely. Forty years of enemas, lived in six states and travel quit a bit with no issues. I do add salt and or baking soda to the mix also I have a sports drink with electrolytes once or twice a week for good measure.

@Silver_Bullet Thank you!

I have also used tap water for many years and have never had any problems using it for drinking or enemas. I have noticed that if you have a whole house water conditioning system which includes a large filter the water quality is much better which results in your skin feeling softer and better and using it with enemas makes your colon feel better also. Some areas have very high quality tap water, usually areas with mountain water as their primary source of water and a water conditioner system would not be necessary.

I like to use a shower filter to fill my translucent bag. I've put felt tipped lines marking its quart fill levels. The idea of a little filtering is comforting to have more added goodness to this clean fun experience that really surprises people alot.

Be mindful that not everywhere tap water is safe to drink. In US it is required that all public water suppliers provide safe to drink water. However, some places have their own water supply, so it better to verify with owners.

Outside of US, situation vary. For example, in European Union, contrary to some believes, tap water is not everywhere safe to drink. Or it might be safe but contain very high level of chlorine and other chemicals.

Here in Arkansas (Hot Springs) we have high content mineral water at several locations in town. The water is tested and results displayed. There is even a hot water location. Several vendors downtown sell gallon jugs to take water home. The water is filtered through the earth over many years. Probably safer to drink than the city water.

Tap water.

Just regular tap water 💦 , it's filtered

I know I posted on this. To clarify specifically on what type of water I use for enemas it is purified water. The tap water where I live is very hard water, it's safe to drink and meets all water quality standards. However if you drink it from the tap it sorta feels like you are swallowing rocks. I have a whole house water conditioning system that turns the tap water into very soft clean water. It has a large 5 micron pre filter that removes residual dirt and some micro organisms in the water before it enters the main water conditioner. It also removes all chlorine and some other contaminates and bad odors from the water. I have had it for many years and I believe it has improved my health. It's great for taking a shower in, it makes your skin feel softer and it's great for enemas, the water does a better job cleaning my colon and it really enhances my enema experience. I have used normal tap water where I live for enemas before I purchased the water system and the enemas with it felt a lot different, not as good. Distilled water is purer than purified water and extremely safe to use for enemas. I have never used it in an enema because for me it's to much of a hassle to heat it up and carry it to the bathroom. I just like to turn on the faucet and get hot water. You can drink distilled water it will not harm you however it will have a very flat taste to it due to no minerals in it.

I have a well that is tested for problems every year, never any problems so always good enemas.

Usualy plain water, often cold.

I tried sometimes soap or salt

Well water. Water softener and filtered.

I use just regular old city tap water. The city that furnishes the water system in my area has rather good quality.
