Quantities vs. age / size / gender

I have always favored large enemas, but don’t give or take the immense quantities some do. When did your “giver” start using the bag on you, and did you get larger enemas as a girl, or (if you know) did your brother or male cousins? I suspect that girls got different quantities than boys at a given age, but I don’t actually know.

The scattered childhood memories across different topics answer this question : the container and capacity of the pears or bags, the age of the recipients, etc... but you have to compile and search !

At my age in my early 60s, I’m more comfortable now taking half of my two quart syringe and being able to hold the water in for a while, rather than punishing myself with a larger volume that can be painful.

If I need a second enema, I can usually get the water higher up with a rectal tube, and that’s when I feel that I’ve had a good cleanse.

I've gradually reduced the quantity of fluid in my enemas. I've never taken huge quantities, and pain is not part of my enjoyment. I have vivid memories of taking what I called "wooosh" enemas where I hung the full bag very high and used a douche nozzle with the holes bored out and a large center hole added to deliver a large volume quickly. While those were fun at the time, the quick fill always triggered the need for a quick release. These days, (older days), I really enjoy a slow fill with a smaller quantity. I like to feel the flow, but it doesn't need to be sledge hammer sudden. Enemas are fun, and it seems counterproductive to take it faster and get it over sooner.

Up until my 50s (I'm now in my late 60s), I used a standard two-quart red enema bag so a two-quart enema was always my maximum. It didn't occur to me that I needed to go beyond that...

...until...

About five years ago when read on Zity HHH or triple-H enemas, which stands for high, hot, and a heck-of-a-lot. That intrigued me, as did the stories and discussions about colon tubes that poke way up inside to get the water "high" in the colon.

I found OptimalHealthNetwork.com with lots of enema equipment, including a few colon tubes and open-top, silicone bags with 3-quart or 4-quart capacities. I bought a 3-quart, open-top silicone bag and found I could take all three quarts so I bought a 4-quart, open-top silicone bag and found that 3.5 to 4 quarts was my maximum, but I also found that it was not very comfortable and I didn't really see the point of trying to max out on some enema-capacity record if it wasn't enjoyable. No problem if that's your thing--have at it.

So, now I just do mostly two, but sometimes close to three, comfortable quarts. Usually the three-quart enema just happens naturally after I've done a two-quart enema. I suppose I'm stretched out a little and relaxed after the first enema and I've cleared out some of the gunk so my bowels can just take an extra quart without a whole lot of effort.

I mostly just fill up with whatever comfortably fills me up, and that turns out to be two and then close to three quarts, for the record.

Oh, wait. Scratch that. Those are garden hoses. The length of the colon tubes can be ordered from 12 to 68 inches (30.5 cm to 1.52 m), depending on the diameter. The diameter can be ordered from .825 inches to 3 inches (2.1 to 7.6 cm). Lengths vary depending on the diameter of the colon tube.

Have fun.

I was never into large quantities. Always enjoyed sessions with multiple fillings, starting wit around 1,5/2 quarts, to get up around 3, taken comfortably and still able to hold for a while...I find that high dosage, often needing retention help, are for the people that enjoy their enemas on the punishing side...I give them if my partners like them, but do not receive them.....my enemas are normally full of pleasure from the moment the preparation starts, the full bag comes into your vision field...to be enjoyed all the way.... I had patients of all genders that took a lot or not at all.... do not think it makes a difference, same as physical type or any other discriminant...to me the filling capacity comes from you being "empty" or not and from how practiced/trained your insides are....

When my siblings and I were growing up, we all received the same volume when mom, grandma, or our teenage aunts gave us enemas. Mom and the girls, for the most part, gave us enemas together. Grandma on the other hand didn’t, she gave us enemas in private. However, there were times, when like mom and the girls, she gave us enemas along with our siblings.

When the girls (our young aunts) reached their preteens, grandma gave them responsibility for our evening bath, including enemas. I was six years old when that happened, and the older of the two girls was twelve. Being only six years difference in age, they were more like siblings than aunts.

So, on evenings when grandma told the girls to give me and my siblings a couple of enemas, they were also included. Having watched the girls give my siblings and each other enemas. They always gave us smaller enemas than they gave themselves. Then, around age ten, that changed. The girls started giving us (my brother, sister, and me) the same size enemas they gave themselves.

Fast forward a few years, when we were teenagers and responsible for ourselves, when it came to enemas. We routinely took care of one another. Meaning my brother and I gave our sister enemas when needed and she us. Our sister being the smallest and youngest, could routinely take and hold more volume than either me or my brother. Where my brother and I were comfortable taking and holding two-quart enemas, our sister routinely took and held two and a half quart enemas.

My mom had some sort of formula for determining quantities. I don't know the formula, but it resulted in her giving us a pint to a quart in elementary school, a quart and a half in junior high, and the full two quarts in high school. I don't think she made allowances for gender. My sister got the same as I did, as far as I know. I'm not sure if size was factored into mom's magic formula.

Growing up my brother, sister, and I all got the same size enemas, usually a quart. Once we were in double digits and receiving two-quart enemas, our sister started getting enemas a little larger, even though she was the youngest. By that age, my brother and I didn’t have any trouble taking and holding two-quart enemas along with our sister. However, for reasons unknown to us, our grandmother (a retired RN) had mom and our aunts increase our sister's enemas to two and a half quarts. When that happened, the girls started giving themselves and our sister two and a half quart enemas, along with me and my brother. But unlike them or our sister, we both had trouble taking them.

I no longer recall the exact age, but it was likely around ten or eleven when I gave myself a full enema bag of solution whenever I was able to sneak in an enema. I was getting less than that from mom, but by then I wasn’t as chronically constipated. Then I contracted one of the childhood diseases that periodically made the rounds - mumps, measles, chicken pox. Being bedridden for the duration, mom gave me a enema everyday. She obviously noticed that I wasn’t complaining during the first few enemas so she increased the volume “to ensure a good flushing”. After than, what few enemas I received were full bag ones.

When I was routinely taking coffee retention enemas in the 90s & 2000s, I was taking up to three and a half quarts of solution, with occasional four quart stand alone sessions.

I cut back over time to quart enemas. Then more recently began using 2.5 quarts in my enemas. Sometimes I go up to three quarts which are just as easy to take but more often than not do not empty completely.

I got my first enema from the bag at 4 years old when I got constipated during a cold. The doctor told her to give me a 1 pint enema of warm salt water. After trying different solutions at the suggestion of my grandmothers, aunts and friends' mothers she settled on Ivory soap enemas and continued giving me 1 pint until I turned 7 when she increased the amount to 1 1/2 pints. From 10 to 12 it became 1 quart, from 13-15 1 1/4 quarts, from 16-18 1 1/2 quarts, 19 to 21 1 3/4 quarts and finally at 22 she gave me the full 2 quart bag. She got those amounts from a Family Nursing book.
