Big Oops this am

During rinse enema I have an equipment failure. My bag has a stopcock type valve well it came undone below stopcock. Boy was that messy. Cleaned up mess and finished 2qt. rinse. Next time will check all connections. 😂🤣😂🤣😉😉

Happens to the best of us.....guess it is worse when you are alone...I keep old towels handy, just in case and never forget to put down a plastic something...when stuff is not available, like in a hotel meet or similar, then I tend to limit activities to the bathroom and possibly the shower.... a little pro activity is good and does not take anything out of the fun...actually, the setting of the scene helps the mood and the anticipation...

Oh yeah...and you're trying to figure out how to plug off both hoses...

I have had the hose come off the nozzle. That is a mess.

Over the years, I've had several "Oops!" moments. I think one of the worst was having a full 4 qt bag tear out the hole the hanger hook goes through. A gallon of soapy water flooded the bathroom floor. I'm very thankful that it wasn't full of milk & molasses, or that I wasn't on the bed!

Whether we admit or not it’s pretty much a given that everyone will experience a similar failure or leakage at one time or another so it’s nice to know you’re not alone once your session is ruined and you’re done scrambling to clean up and try not to be embarrassed my friend 🤪

Two types of enema takers/givers. Those who have had a messy accident, and those that will.

Not unlike Soapy4me, had a two quart bag split dumping the contents onto the bathroom floor. It was a mess to clean up, can only imagine chasing after a gallon deluge. Had to carry soaking towels to the communal laundry up and down stairs. Mine was only salt and a bit of soap. Five bucks in quarters and the loss of my favorite closed top.

As we know from experience, the hose slips off the nozzle while we were filling. We have the enema bag going empty real fast on the bed, but wait! The contents of our bowels are now squirting out of the enema nozzle, which do you reach for first. And the bag tearing open, or it comes undone from the hanger.

The worst mess I had though, not from an enema, I took some caster oil before bed, about 70ml, I'm told the adult dosage. Sometime during the night, something felt warm, and did I say gooey? I messed the bed, the consistency of peanut butter, but it wasn't peanut butter. Nothing like having a wetvac handy, you pour water on the mess and suck it up with the vacuum. I'd suggest taking the vacuum outside and hosing it out.

What we go through for such a fetish.

We had an inflatable break in mid enema. Ended with a butt clench and quick trot to the toilet. I wrote about it in my blog.

We have all been there I believe 😂

As @Rigel said

I was mid enema, 3 litres soapy, hose slipped off the on/off valve, water pouring out of both hoses, scrambling to pinch off both while figuring out how to move without the water flowing out, then the cramps and the need to expel start coming…

What a mess!! Thankfully the bathroom floor is tiled

. . . . As @hoseman1 says, the cannula and the stopcock can come apart. To avoid this, I attach the cannula directly to the tubing and clamp it to replace the stopcock. This way, I avoid that unpleasant surprise. Always check the strength of the ring and its hook. https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/108951

@jekyll_doctor does the same as me, he connects the cannula directly and closes the tube with a clamp : https://fr.zity.biz/gallery/image/311299

My worst enema disaster was some years ago when I was enjoying a coffee enema. I used a nozzle shaped like a butt plug which would not fall out in its own and it gives me something to clench on when resisting the urge to expel before I am ready. I had a corner of the bedroom, which was carpet, where I could hang the bag and I would lay on an old towel. It was quite comfortable. I would put the coffee in and just lay there relaxing, or maybe play with myself to take my mind off of the urge to expel until I was ready. When the next round of urges came I decided it was time to expel. The bag was empty and clamped off, the nozzle firmly in my butt when I rolled over to start to get up for my trip to the toilet. It took me a few seconds before I realized that as I started moving around, the hose had slipped off of the nozzle which was still in my butt. Now the shitty coffee is shooting out of the nozzle, unrestricted, all over my bedroom carpet until I figured out what was happening and put my finger over the nozzle fitting to stop the flow. Besides the major puddle now soaking into my carpet, I left a trail of drips and drops all the way to the toilet After emptying what was left in my gut, I started cleaning up with a spray carpet cleaner, which only got some of it. The next day I had to call in Stanley Steemer to steam clean my bedroom carpet it to get the coffee stains out. I'm glad they did not ask me "How did I get coffee all over in my bedroom?" Lesson learned – double check everything, and be careful where you do coffee. Now, I also remove the enema nozzle as soon as the bag is empty and replace it with a more conventional butt plug. No more worrying about the hose coming off as I wait.

No offense to any of the practitioners in this thread, and maybe things will change, but I will never do an enema near any absorbent surface that cannot be thrown in the wash and especially never over carpet... yikes. But yes, I've had the tube disconnect from the nozzle. Not fun!

Thus far my disasters have been few and contained. The one that stays with me happened in a full bathtub about five years ago. I’d been having period cramps and IBS cramps in the same blighted day. By the time evening came, I decided hot water inside and out was just what I needed.

I drew a deep bath, shook in fragrant bath salts, lowered myself in, inserted my nozzle, and started the flow. Initially it felt wonderful to float, relaxed, in the warm water and feel my belly gently expand. It was so comforting and blissful I wondered why I didn’t try an enema in the bath sooner. Goodbye shivering on the bathroom floor! This was clearly the way. This was how I wanted every enema going forward.

Just as that thought drifted away, I felt a cool current cut through my warm bath: the tubing had come off the nozzle, and brown water was jetting from my behind into the bath.

This realization caused every muscle in my body to tense, which only increased the velocity of my horrific fecal plume.

By the time I had the presence of mind to yank out the nozzle, I was bathing elbow-deep in a slightly rose-geranium-scented pool of my own waste. I couldn’t pull the tub plug fast enough, and it took me the equivalent of two showers to feel clean again.

That was it for me for enemas in the bath. I tried a second time without incident but was too tense to relieve my pain or enjoy any of it, constantly wondering if the tubing was still on the nozzle or if the nozzle was slipping out. No more bliss, just PTSD.

@Sweetest_Relief Thank you for your feedback. In the next bathtub sessions, you can try the new direct cannula attachment method !

@clyso I’ve reviewed the images and see my system is just like those pictured, with a single tube and an external clamp.

The point of failure is the junction between the nozzle and the lower end of the tubing. I assume the warm water of the bath makes the silicone tube slightly more lax than when originally attached to the nozzle, and it probably doesn’t take much water to enter the space created by this laxity to break the seal.

I’ve wondered about using a zip tie for reinforcement each time I attach the nozzle, but needing to cut it off for proper cleaning gives me pause as I’m sure I’d eventually nick my tubing, or possibly myself, with the required sharp object.

What has proven faster and easier for me is to simulate some of the nice effects of the bath by using a separate hot water bottle at enema time. If placed under my lower back it creates some of the same buoyancy and warmth, and if brought along to the toilet for expulsion it can be wonderful to lean over, unkinking the flexures a little, providing counter pressure, and helping with cramps.

However, my very first enema kit was a Fleet Bagenema. Although I stupidly discarded it long ago, it did not use a separate nozzle but instead a tube that ended in a rounded tip with bore holes. That set-up seems more tub safe, although the tube had no flange so I suppose could slip out and spill clean enema water in the tub. Alas, I put mine out with the trash so will not get to try that experiment.

Not quite an enema accident but a few days back my local supermarket was conducting a German beer promotion, buy any three 500ml bottles at a discount price. Keen to try German Weissbier I picked up three different brands. All were as I expected, excellent tasting & rather cloudy. I think 'Erdinger' was my favourite. Now here comes the downside,after drinking all three in one evening I slept well & had a normal BM first thing in the morning but after an early dog walk & breakfast I had a sprint to the bathroom & an expulsion I can only describe as near explosive. Might this be something to do with the yeast suspended in the beer? Maybe just happenstance. Will I drink some more one day? Yeah, but not three at a time!🙄

Love the disaster stories. Might have all been prevented with a play doctor or nurse assisting you!

There is no shortage of volunteer nurses, but the kilometers separate them from "their patients".

Standard American practice is hose to nozzle and use a pinch clamp rather than a stopcock.

What you can do is get a hose clamp (they make quick release ones too) instead of a zip tie.

A ratchet clamp, which can be applied and removed as required, is probably better than something that would need to be cut off.

Thanks for the oops avoidance advice @moliere and @one-eyes. Looks like OHN has just the thing, a black plastic ratchet clamp that can be removed by unseating the little plastic teeth laterally.

This has led to great temptation to pick out another Delrin nozzle that might be too big for me. 😁

I’d expect an ordinary hardware store can certainly sell you ratchet clamps cheaper than OHN!

@one-eyes absolutely correct; but less shipping the difference is $1.60 USD and I can easily be sure it will work with the diameter of my tubing.

The hardware store also doesn’t carry the white Delrin nozzle I ordered, LOL.

In my defense I used to sometimes use a colon tube but in the past year learned from my first colonoscopy that I have diverticula in my sigmoid and descending colon. Using a stiffer colon tube seems foolhardy in that situation, but I would like some variety from my usual nozzle so had been eyeing the white Delrin nozzles anyway.

Maybe my inaugural go will be in the tub, I hope without accident.

Since I make my own nozzles from delrin, i choose the measurements. The diameter I choose for the barbs is 1/2 inch, that is the industry standard for 1/4inch hose. Enema hose is very flexible. Too small of a barb, hose slips off, happened to me, oops. I just made a new nozzle, 1.25"diameter, largest I feel comfortable with. How do you determ8ne your size?

@hoseman1 I determine the best nozzle width as you do, by comfort. For me, a maximum width just under 1” can be slipped in with just lubricant, not a lengthy warm-up, but if properly tapered, feels as if it’s not likely to come out accidentally.

Length is a tougher call. I have a larger black Derin nozzle of 1.25-inch width that fails the first test but can be comfortable once seated after a slightly painful insertion. Its minimum insertable length is 3.5”, and if I maintain a normal enema position while using it, it’s clearly too long because my anatomy stops it up. Via experimentation I discovered I can only use it if draped over an exercise ball, a position I’m guessing straightens the naturally curved rectal vault to better match the nozzle. Otherwise, no matter how cleaned out I am to start, the water won’t flow.

However, slimmer, soft, and/or curved nozzles can have a longer insertable length of 5” or more and still flow.

From all this I guess that an unyielding material like Delrin would work as a shorter, wider nozzle for me, or a longer, slimmer one. And probably my dream nozzle that no one makes would have a wider tapered base and then a slimmer, curved portion. My ideal nozzle would deliver water deeply enough that I would not feel rectal pressure or urgency.

While veering wildly from the original topic, being fitted for a custom nozzle by a handsome craftsperson who is good with his hands would make a delightful enema fantasy.

I’ve had that happen too, but I take enemas in the bathroom so there wasn’t too much of a mess.
