Do you prefer enemas or suppositories?

My ‘druthers…an administered enema.

I would love to have another CNC enema… no questions asked… just forced to take it.

Just an enema of a couple of liters of saline solution. then 3 - 3.5 liters with a catheter on the back..mmmm

You will probably find a Fleet type saline enema, and glycerin and Dulcolax suppositories under my bathroom sink. Suppositories are very unpredictable in how long it takes for something to happen, but I use them when I am in the mood for something a little different and have lots of time. The Fleet type is quick and effective, but it sometimes stings, even after the first evacuation. I usually follow either the saline enema or the suppository by another rinse enema anyway, otherwise I will have delayed action from the residual stuff left in the rectum.

There is no question that I much prefer a traditional enema given with a bulb or bag. Growing up I enjoyed the bulb and then the bag. I got my first Fleet in the hospital prior to the birth of my first child. My mom and grandma warned me that they would give me a large soapy enema in the labor room, but I got a Fleet. I don't remember much about it because I had other things on my mind at the time. But when I tried a Fleet on my own later, I was disappointed.

Suppositories cause me too much cramping, even painful sensations. The enema works milder for me.

Ditto what Cheryl said, except for the enema in the labor room I agree with pretty much what she said.

I'll take either one from someone but prefer the enema...the procedure lasts longer!

Glycerin suppositories first, then enemas, then colonic irrigation all in one long glorious session. Heaven, heaven, heaven...

PS I absolutely detest Fleet enemas: too many chemicals.

I'm guilty of using Fleet disposable enemas, Suppositories, bag enemas, and Bulbs at different times. The only ones i will not use are the Fleet Liquid Glycerin Suppositories, every time i have used them i have had side affects that lasted hours after use such as cramps, burning, and uncomfortable feeling. I want to feel refreshed after a session not uncomfortable. The Disposable Fleet enemas i'm guilty of using them in a pinch if time is an issue i normally use it and refill the bottle at least once with water and have had good results with no side affects. Glycerin Suppositories are another story every time i have used them i have not had good results. i get an urge but nothing earth shaking and normally get tired of waiting for the loss of control feeling which i crave so i end up getting my 8oz Rectal Syringe (Bulb) and add tap water to it and that normally gets me to the sensation and results i want and crave but by themselves they don't do much for me. I took 2 Glycerin Suppositories this morning and diapered up and gave it 45 minutes and ended up getting my bulb out when i got tired of waiting it out and as usual after about 5-10 minutes i was making the dash for the potty with slight uncontrollable leakage that may or may not have been on purpose but made it to the potty and currently sitting here refreshed and ready for my day.

@Iris1858 I agree with everything you say in posting 479! Especially when exchanging enemas with a partner. Sure wish I had a partner at the present time!

Yes 2 or 3 qts sse much more pleasure than a suppos and of course faster, love enema nozzle buried vs a pinkie size suppo

I like asking, "Is it nice in there?" mmmmm "Is it goooood?" Uuhhh and while you are moaning for me, "Is it fulll?" and then you, "Not yet,,, some, Aww, some,, Mmmm"

I am hoping you will want an enema. And will do my best to slip in your bolus, so as you will quickly beg for another and then need them all washed away---ay.

Taped to the wall, only 4 feet away hangs a waxed target next to the floor. Me, "Firing when ready", you will say, "Pull !"

I pop the cork, your guts will fire them with you screaming, "Fire in the Hole!" And me, "Wanna do it again??"

Get it done, Boys and Girls. Come on in and make a splash!

I’ll take the enema, please and thank you!

I definitely prefer a soapsuds enema over any other type of constipation remedy.

Lately though with Mournjaro constipation I have to do what is convenient, not whats best. I am taking 1500 to 2000 mg of mag oxide a day, and I am holding my own on that. I still get cramping and have to really bear down to get anything out. yesterday I tried 3 dulcolax at 8:30 in the morning, no urge until 4:00PM, then very difficult evac. Another urgent urge at about 9:30PM, and a completely normal BM this morning. After the 9:30PM urge, my lower bowel gripped and cramped for a half hour, very uncomfortable. I have also been trying glycerian suppositories which work kind of OK, but sometimes you can't trust a fart later in the day.

When I do get a chance for a real enema, I literally fill rhe toilet above the water line. So even though I am having daily BM's I am still not emptying my bowel that much. My new GI doc examined me recently and said she could tell my colon was really full. She prescribed Linsezz which I haven't been able to start yet. The reviews are not good (chronic diarreha) and I am very active and I am scared to try it if I have to be out and about.

While I do love a good enema. I prefer suppositories better just because someone can keep their fingers inside me to make sure I don’t push them back out. Also while rubbing my clit teasing me

We prefer enemas! Suppose are too harsh! Love RedQueens response!

More recently, on the advice of my beloved colon hydrotherapist I have been using Microlax mini enemas while away from home. I am not sure if these mini enemas are akin to suppositories but I find them really effective. So for the duration Ducolax suppositories will stay in the bathroom cabinet when I pack before travelling. Oh and by the way on additional advice from my colonic lady I went to see my doctor, another amazing lady, and she wrote me a repeat prescription for the Microlax so I can obtain them, free, from the pharmacy whenever I need them.

I prefer suppositories. An enema requires more effort and time.

Suppositories are fine. The insertion is quite fun & feeling the melting / mild irritation (with glycerin ones anyway) is also kind of pleasurable. However nothing beats an enema. From the insertion of some kind of lubricated inflatable retention nozzle or a phallic shaped textured one worked in & out a lot more than is necessary - hell the fun is enormous & the liquid hasn't even started to flow yet! Then there is the sense of filling & urgent fullness. Finally when was the last time you pleaded with a mistress, master, play nurse or lover "Please, don't make me take any more!" 😮

It’s a little like lovemaking. If you prefer a quickie to bring relief, take a suppository. However, if you feel like losing yourself in a sea of sensations that will cleanse you physically and sometimes emotionally, reserve an hour or so with yourself or a favorite partner, and enjoy the total experience of a warm, relaxing enema and the afterglow that follows.

Suppositories for me is an effect route for drug administration when myself or someone needs fast pain relief or to prevent nausea. Enemas are the best way to relief constipation, improve gut health, connect my mind and body or connect with someone else.

I much prefer enemas as they offer so much more.

I never use either simply for recreational purposes. For occasional constipation - usually the result of post-surgery narcotic pain meds - my first choice is glycerin suppositories. I rely on fleet enemas very infrequently.

As kids, whenever mom gave us suppositories, they made our insides burn a little. Something my siblings and I didn’t like. Luckily, mom only gave us suppositories a few times. Making us appreciate an enema even more than we already did.

...it depends on the type of constipation:

if the stool is very hard right after the sphincter, then a suppository first. If not, a small opening enema,

then the usual Procedure "enemas till clear"

I haven't had much experience with suppositories. Only medicinal ones, for fever or something else.

Growing up I didn't like being given either. Suppositories often didn't make much poop come out and irritated inside my rectum and when my Mom occasionally gave me a Fleet Enema when I was in my teens and 20's they worked a bit better but not much and caused even more irritation in my rectum. Neither one cleared out my bowels as well as an old fashioned hot Ivory soapsuds enema which she often gave me after the suppository or Fleet Enema failed to do much. One soapsuds enema was usually enough to clear everything out of my bowels even though I hated getting it.

I like both enemas and suppositories at different times. Suppositories can create that much needed stress and need to go. Quicker than a full blown enema. When I have the time though, an enema is worth the extra time.
