What water to use for enemas tap/distilled ?

Personally, I will either use tap water with just a bit of salt.

I tried a cold water enema. Didn't like it at all. I'm used to a warm water solution and find it much more erotic. Does anyone feel the same way? Anyone like cold water enema's better?

Not use tap water? Use bottled water? You must be crazy! If you can drink it you can certainly put it up your butt. Another fringey alternative urban myth.

So true liquidsky. Hell, I've tried well over 30 different solutions, I've always liked to experiment and feel what they do for me and what the sensations are if there are any.

Any municipal treated water should be fine. Well water should be fine if the well has been tested. I would avoid drawing water directly from a lake or river unless you purified it first.

I have used tap water from all over the states, Canada and six countries in Europe, and I have never had any problems with it.

As far as I know, tap water is drinkable in all of the US and the Western European countries, though taste may differ (some is more chlorinated than others). If it's drinkable daily without causing diarrhea and other illnesses, it can be used in an enema.

I've only used tap water for years and had no ill effects from it.

I have always used tap water.

I have been advised Enema very recently. Tap water is used for Enema. It was my third time today.

We live in the country so our water comes from our own well. That is what I use for my subs enemas.

We have a water distiller that we use for our drinking and cooking water. I could heat up distilled water for his enemas, there is a kettle just for distilled water. I am just not sure it makes that much of a difference to use.

Consider the real world problems regarding a serious recreational enema aficionado using only distilled water. How many gallon jugs of distilled water would you need to feed your habit per week? They must be bought. Lugged to the car, lugged into the house, and stored until use. Presumably, most of the time heated for the irrigations. Oh, and as pointed out below, one would also be contributing to plastic polution.

No. Distilled water is not for serious enemaholics. It may be suitable for those taking baby bulbfulls once or twice a month though. If you are that concerned about it.

For the rest of us, it is a wonderful thing that we can turn two taps, get the temperature we want and drown ourselves...so to speak.

For me, the tap water is fine enough to just drink from the tap, usually for my enema I will just use warm water from the tap.

69 year old retired doctor here, enemas ejoyed for over 50 years, since age 15. Tap water every single one. Enjoyed every one, almost every one followed by an orgasm. Distilled or boiled or deionized or filtered or sterilized water, NEVER. Not necessary or advantageous. Pay attention to what's important and/or adjustable to your taste, like temperature, additives, volume, sensations. Unless you have been warned by authorities or a health department, use tap water.

Tap water, distilled water, reverse osmosis water, Perrier, Poland Spring or any other water you buy to drink or get from a municipal water supply is fine for enemas.

Reverse osmosis and distilled waters that have had the minerals removed is perfectly OK. There is no danger with them lacking minerals because by comparison, a liter of tap or mineral waters only contain 0.1 grams to 0.3 grams of total dissolved solids. To make a physiologic saline solution requires NINE GRAMS of table salt, or 30 to 90 times as much minerals as in tap water. It is totally safe to say you do not need any minerals, ions or ANYTHING else in your enema water.

I am amazed that after TWELVE YEARS there is still any question about this.

Tap water is perfectly fine in the USA . If you can drink it you can put it in your ass. The standards are very high.

Just as a heads up, you guys remember that thing with Flint's water being undrinkable with super high lead levels? Turns out they aren't the worst, and lots of bad quality water flew under the radar.

There's lots of bad water in the US, and although our standards are good, there's tons of violations of these standards:

Now, I'm not going to say “only use distilled water” but look into your area, like Wisconsin generally has good quality water, while Milwaukee is on the list of worst tap water. Higher/lower income areas are going to be just a rough rule of thumb for likely safe/unsafe water.

Now, deadly pathogens that will make you sick directly? Less likely than other places. Things you don't want to put in your body in general? Yeah, stuff like lead and pollutants.

If home or at another's home or hotel, then tap. If I'm not sure of the water then bottled and warmed water.

There are some ( and I mean a very few) places that have bad water but they always notify if there is a problem and they always fix it too. Flint's water has long ago been switched from the river to an alternate source and the water lines were replaced as well. If you are in the US the water is safe with very very few exceptions.

The only water I have ever used for my enemas was plain tap water. I have added soap to that tap water, Ivory Soap mostly, but also I have used those little 0.9 ml packages of Castile soap that comes with the Enema Administration Units (the 40 ounce plastic enema bucket used in hospitals) as well as Dr, Bonners Castile Soap. I will say that the Castile Soap enemas seemed to clean me out better than Ivory soap. Like the medical folks say, if you can drink it, you can use it for enemas.

When I was growing up my mother just used hot tap water when she made my soapsuds enemas. She filled a 2 qt. pitcher with tap water just hot enough to sting on the inside of her wrist and stirred a bar of Ivory soap in it until the water was milky coloured and had a thick layer of suds on the surface.

Just straight from the tap. If you can drink it, you can flush with it!

I've been using plain tap water with various additives almost daily for over fifty years. The only times I haven't have been my experiments with oils. No ill effects from either one. YMMV

Tap water for me or on rare occasion, plain bottled water. Don’t think I ever considered distilled water.
