Enema - Getting it ALL out?

I sure would like to hear from people about the best way to avoid the dreaded “after effects” syndrome. I enjoy the experience, but the sudden surprise, sometimes hours later, of a very messy “there is still more” event is a real turnoff. So, folks, what (if anything) actually works to avoid this?

Every body is different. I take an enema several times a week in the morning before I go to work. It's important to take at least 2 quarts for a thorough clean out. I find that I have the problem you mention when I take a quart or less.

I read a magazine and stay seated for about twenty minutes, then hop in the shower. Sometimes I'll dribble a little bit, but when I'm done with the shower, I go dry off. And I'm done.

It is extremely rare that I have any left .... very little if at all.

Then it's off to work.

Have a nice day!

If you plan on a good enema cleanout, make no plans, as a quick one has a habit of knocking on your door later on.

My experience has been enemas until clear, and still wait. Too many times when a little gaseous fart turns into a mess. Doesn't work. You have to get experience and listen to your body.

When my enemate (wife) and I were still working we never indulged during the week, we always waited for the weekend and always during the day. This was to avoid any surprises like those mentioned in the initial post. Usually there were little to no after-effects but we thought to err on the side of caution.

Now we’re both retired and lead a much less active life. Some of the habits we developed over the years of employment have remained. For instance we still only play in the afternoons, never after dark. We usually share on weekdays while the rest of the world has its nose to the grindstone and can only fantasize about a good purge. We never go out to eat or anywhere else on those days. Some habits die hard.

My advice is to plan ahead; the planning is a big part of the fun. Maybe a daily enema is too much and may be appreciated more if done less often, when there is no hurry and no stress involved.

Apart from small enemas, I get this problem almost every time, except maybe if the solution is very strong and/or I hold the enema for very little time. From my experience if the enema travels up like in a high enema situation or if I use a colon tube I get at least two later visit to the toilet. I think everyone is different.

The only thing that I've not yet tested is letting the enema solution trickle in very slowly, like more than several minutes. Also, using a standard nozzle and not a long tube, maybe an inflatable one to hold the solution more, could help. That is because for me letting the enema very quickly with a certain pressure helps the solution to travel up very fast. Will see

I usually insert a medium to large butt plug after filling to help retain the enema. I can completely relax and enjoy the full feeling of the enema without having to work so hard at holding it in and keeping my anus held tightly closed.

Usually, the enema seems to release easier due to my relaxed state. However, if I have a good climax before releasing things will tighten up for a few minutes. After getting out all that i can, I'll reinsert the plug and leave it for a while. It seems to relax the colon again and it feels really good too. Then, if anything is left, it will usually want out pretty quickly. I often remove the plug in the shower, and any mess that's left will drain away. I feel completely empty after that.

Our bodies are all a little different, so what I say is effective for me might not work for you. I usually weigh myself before and after my enema to determine if I am empty enough to go on to something else. If I have retained less than a half of a pound of the enema I feel safe. There is some variability depending on how much poop the enema brought out and how long I have retained it. The longer the enema is in you, the more will be absorbed by the colon and won’t come out except as frequent urination later.

Some things that I do to minimize the amount retained. After the initial expulsion, get up and walk around. That usually brings more down. If after 10 minutes, I am not feeling empty, I give myself a shot of straight liquid glycerin with one of those little Fleet glycerin applicators. That almost always kick-starts another expulsion leaving me feeling empty. But, it must be said that some enemas just don’t go as planned. Same process, same solution, different results.

@Cheryl77177 two of your tricks also work well for me: the weigh in / weigh out and getting up and walking around (usually to clean and put away my gear). Reaching over my head and twisting my torso sometimes also helps.
