Poll: Ivory- how strong?

When I was a kid and my mother used Ivory bar soap for my enemas she would stir the bar in the pitcher of warm water until the water was milky coloured and formed a thick layer of suds on top. As she poured it into the enema bag she would keep scooping the suds from the top of the bag and then pour more of the soap solution in until it was filled up to the right amount.

Years ago, I would make the solution in a plastic mixing bowl, and just set the Ivory bar in the bowl and start filling it with warm water. That would get it quite soapy.

Some years later, I held the bar in my hand in the stream of water as the bag filled, and would take the bar out after the bag had filled to some level, then the rest of the water that went into in the bag would not have soap.

Does Ivory get you cleaner, faster than plain water?

YES, definitely! Before I discovered Ivory soap, I used to take something like seven enemas to get mostly cleaned out.

With Ivory or other soap, 3 enemas gets me MORE clean than 7 of plain water.

Finally, how long do you take to give (or take) the enema?

Ah, second part of the question. Well, when taking soapy enemas, especially, you have to get it all in before the cramps begin to get strong. So, I need to fill up fairly quickly, or I won't get it all in before the cramps are too strong. So, my first enema of 1.5 - 2 quarts or so usually goes in in a couple minutes, I can't take the whole bag or hold it very long. Then, I have an explosive evacuation. The next enema goes in much more easily, I can usually get 2.5 quarts in in about 3-5 minutes, and hold for anywhere from a couple to ten minutes or so. The third enema is usually 3+ quarts, I take it as fast as I can get it to go in, hold for just a couple minutes and have a great orgasm, and then expel immediately.

Lately, this has gotten harder to do, I have more trouble accepting the enema and the cramping starts almost immediately.

Bummer!

When mom gave enemas, she made the Ivory so strong it looked like milk resulting in very crampy, painful enemas. I never make them that strong, only translucent. I rub the bath bar in my hand under running water while filling the bag. Great memories of how enema fetish started.

Making an Ivory solution super concentrated doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Very strong solutions tend to cause mighty cramps almost immediately, so it's much harder to get the whole bag full of solution into the person.

If you make the solution more dilute so that it appears definitely milky but certainly not opaque, and administer it comfortably warm, but not hot, a full bag will go easily into most constipated people. Also, because the solution is not super irritating, the person usually can take and retain the whole enema for five or more minutes which gives some time for the poo to soften. The combination of full volume and some retention time usually cleans someone out very effectively.

Yes, you will likely be on the toilet for at least a half hour to poo fully, but you'll poo hard and soft and feel, and be, really empty afterwards.

I like it strong but I can hold it with my inflatable nozzle. I don't measure, I just dump a bar in a 1 qt plastic jug and fill it up with hot water and shake the heck out of it..

Seems like your mom and mine got their Ivory soap enema recipes from the same place.... I've mentioned how mine would place a pot of water on the stove add allot of Ivory Snow and heat it up to dissolve it into a super strong, more like one big soapy suppository, enema. The cramps were almost unbearable - I would try to distract myself by drawing pictures of things while sitting thru the waves of cramps/expulsions.

My Ivory soap enemas consist of grating about 1 ounce of Ivory soap and mixing it with 10 ounces of water. I let that set for several days, shaking on occasion until it’s completely dissolved. I’ll then add anywhere from 1 to 2 ounces per quart depending how strong an urge I want. I do enjoy some cramping a strong urge to go.

I have not used ivory soap in a long time, but after reading this thread, i gave it another try. My wife let the 115 degree water run over the bar and into the bag, after 2 1/2 quarts were in the bag, stopped water and worked the bar in her hand for 1 more minute. She administered the enema in about 8 minutes, was very easy to take and i easily held it for 5 more minutes, something much harder to do with 1 tbls of DR. Bronners. She gave me a very similar enema yesterday, it was great, we are going to use ivory for a while, at least until the bar of soap is gone.

Your experience with Ivory soap parallels mine. When I've received bag enemas because of really being pretty constipated, my preference is Ivory. You are correct that that this enema takes a while to cause cramping which is usually mild and hence the full bagful can usually be gotten in uneventfully. In fact, I usually feel nothing but some fullness for several minutes even after the whole enema is in. After a few minutes, I start to feel an urge to poo and promptly get onto the toilet where a very complete, impossible to resist result result starts with milky looking water pouring out in a torrent but soon includes a lot more. It takes me about a half hour to finish on the toilet but there is usually no further results, even without a rinse.

In my opinion, a bagful of warm Ivory solution, milky but not overly soapy, is the best and most effective relief for constipation. It will provide quick relief to even the most constipated person, but without real discomfort or pain. A person who gets one, properly given, is unlikely to be turned off to enemas for life.

Oh yes - grating up an Ivory bar of soap; now that's right up my alley, ha! Besides that, I've also used a blender; though lately I've simply placed a couple of bars in a large container with a lid and used hot water to make a very cramping solution. When the bars get near suppository size, you can guess where I shove them...

For me, a soapsuds enema, after I have it mixed and get the bag hung:Assuming there is no pre-enema and I have already peed.

7 minutes to get into position

5 minutes to get myself relaxed once in position.

1 minute to insert the nozzle and make sure it is pointed at my navel

5 minutes to make sure I can see the digital clock clearly, I can reach the bite rag, and any packaging from the pre-enema is out of the way.

2-3 minutes to make sure I am fully relaxed.

30 seconds to find the valve and put my hand on it

1-2 minutes taking the deepest breaths it's physically possible to take Then a fraction of a second to open the valve.

3 minutes(usually) for the enema to inject.

15 minutes retaining the enema.

20 minutes expelling the enema

10-45 minutes letting my body settle down and mixing the second enema.

As long as the water can flow freely it's not too soapy. I have the soap bars floating in the gallon jugs of water for the next enema whenever that is.
