Does time of day matter at all for enemas?

I had a random thought the other day. Does time of day matter at all? I realized mom always used to do the clean out right before bedtime.

Really depends on the privacy first of all but all things equal I enjoy a nice morning session or an afternoon session while exposed in the sunlight of our sliding doors facing west on the lakeshore.

Just like @SFBull , privacy is my primary driver for time of day. Given ample free time, morning enemas are for gentle clean out, coffee or tea enemas; afternoons for some outdoor sunshine; evenings for extended play when I can enjoy some wine along with my enemas

Long ago I'd usually get them in the afternoon after school or in the evening . . . weekends could be wildcards. Now it's when I have the privacy and time to do it.

@liquidsky and I usually administer enemas to each other in the early to late afternoon. Regardless of when we share enemas, a good time is had by both of us!

When I was a kid my Mom gave me most of my enemas first thing in the morning whether I was sick and home from school (daily enemas on the doctor's orders to keep my bowels emptied out during the illness) or when a laxative given at bedtime didn't make me go as soon as I woke up in the morning.

During the best enema period of my life in the early 2000s wife worked super early shift and kiddo caught early school bus. I worked later shift and only had a 15 minute commute. I had over 2 hours to myself early in the morning and usually once a week I'd pull out my hidden duffle bag with the red open top 4 qt Klystra enema bag, assortment of nozzles, bars of ivory and kirk's castile soap, butt plug, lube, and plastic pitcher. I blissfully took big hot soapy enemas and rinses groaning and gasping on the bathroom floor. Then came the edging looking at internet porn. I learmed to take a thorough 1 minute shower to clean my self up after all this indulgence so I could still get to work on time. This went on for about two years (not counting summer break) before schedules changed.

Time of day, may depend on whether it’s convenient, or maybe something that’s a medical procedure needs to follow a certain schedule.

I like early for coffee enemas, for warm water or soda water most anytime I have the privacy.

I have had an enema just about any time of the day, but over time, the most common time has changed. As a young girl, the most frequent time was early evening if my situation during the day led mom to believe that I needed an enema. As a young woman, with a husband, little kids, and a job, it was mostly in the evening after the kids were in bed. With or without some playing with my husband or myself. Now that I am retired, my favorite time is early morning. After my usual morning routine, relaxing with a quart of coffee in my butt while I check email and what’s new here on Zity is a good start to my day.

It doesn’t seem to matter whether I have an empty stomach, or what time the mood strikes me. And I definitely don’t need to be constipated to enjoy an enema. Sometimes, hubby is out, weather is crappy, I am bored, what shall I do? Within minutes the nozzle is in my butt. Why not?

Yes definitely. I take my enema first thing in the morning while my beautiful blonde is asleep. The time in the bathroom is my "me time". I could not conceive taking it at any other time in the day. Miss that time for some reason and it's on to tomorrow.

I have found that there is a definite difference in the completeness and ease of expulsion between enemas I take early morning, and those I take just before going to bed. I generally struggle to get everything out with the morning enemas, and oftentimes I leave for work while still feeling some residual enema left in my gut which I cannot expel even with some straining. While travelling to work I usually feel the enema working its way down gradually, and then have to make a dash for the toilet once I arrive. After that the discomfort is gone and I feel empty.

Evening enemas - whole other story. I generally have much better peristaltic reaction from my colon (don't ask me why), and when I expel it's usually 2 or 3 long, effortless blasts into the toilet which my colon performs without any conscious "assistance" at all, followed by one or two smaller final expulsions. All effortless - it's as if the enema just falls outa me. There is no feeling afterwards of any leftover enema still in my gut, and I sleep like a baby when I go to bed.

I have no idea why this is so, maybe somebody on Zity also has a similar experience. But it's most definitely not my imagination - there must be some plausible explanation somehow.

Pretty much anytime because I’m widowed during the work week it’s after work ,weekends anytime usually multiple enemas possibly a morning evening session. It’s funny weather effects my needs or craving of enemas such as rain or snowing out side seems to heighten my desire .

Anyone else this way ?

From experience, I wouldn’t take an enema after eating a large meal. I learned that lesson years ago. Give your insides time to settle.

Better time is first thing in the morning or at least 3 to 4 hours after eating. The last time I gave my husband an enema, he had hernia surgery and was in a lot of discomfort, trying “to go” in the morning. We jokingly called his small enemas I was giving him during that week as Bulbs Before Breakfast. It didn’t take more than a couple of inserts to get him going, a lot less painful.

I tend to take enemas later in the afternoon, sometimes coming home early from work when I’m feeling stressed. Or, if I’m not feeling well and backed up, before bedtime, when my husband rather enjoys putting a tube in me. It might be in my head, but having an enema before bed helps me relax and I can sleep like a rock.

Coffee enemas are definitely a morning thing for me. Otherwise, it all depends on the time available.

Any time of the day works for me, but it seems I usually take them in the morning.

When my siblings and I were kids growing up in the nineteen fifties, we got enemas when needed, usually in the evening before bedtime. However, on rainy days when we had to play inside, there was a good chance mom would come in the room and tell us, “I think y’all could use an enema today. Get things ready, while I go fix it.” When she returned, she expected us to be laying naked across a bed together, each on a towel. Then in turn, gave each of us a full bag enema. That we had to try and take as much of as possible, then hold for five minutes. Something I was never quite able to do but did come close a few times. Normally, we received a soapy followed by a rinse enema, both one quart, maybe a little more. However, on those occasions, mom only gave us rinse enemas. That could happen at any time during the day, from mid-morning to late afternoon or early evening. The giveaway for us on rainy days, was what mom was wearing. Normally, she was dressed in street clothes, but on those occasions, she was always in her nightgown.

It depends on what type of enema is being given whether I prefer to administer in the morning or evening. My husband and I do coffee or probiotic enemas once a month or so, and we prefer those in the morning so we can take advantage of the boost in energy you get from a coffee enema for the couple hours afterward. For a cleansing enema, it's best to give those in the late afternoon or evening right before bed. David prefers that I give him his cleansing enemas before bedtime because it helps him relax and sleep comes much easier once your bowels are unburdened and cleaned out. The time relaxing or sleeping soon afterward also allows the body to absorb any residual water still left in the colon.

Of course if there's constipation, a cleansing enema "right now" is the best time. No need to wait if someone is uncomfortable needing relief.
