Just an old fashioned enema

Fleet oatmeal raisin cookies suck! 😁

When my siblings and I were growing up in the nineteen fifties, enemas and spankings were commonplace. An old fashion enema was a one or two-quart soapy enema made with Ivory soap. Once given, it was held for five or ten minutes, then released. Then the next one was a one or two-quart rinse enema made with salt and baking soda. Once it was held for five minutes or so, it was released. However, the times could vary depending on circumstances. With mom, we got enemas laying across our bed next to each other. Grandma was different, she gave us enemas in private laying naked across her lap, then as we got older, it was changed to the knee chest position. Our aunts were a cross between mom and grandma. Sometimes they gave us enemas in private and other times, mainly during our evening bath, they gave us enemas in the big downstairs bathroom together. Mainly because there was a large dual head walk-in shower in the bathroom. That gave the girls enough room to put us in the shower together, then get in themselves and bathe us while keeping order. So, like us, both girls were naked on evenings they gave us enemas.

If mom called us to the bathroom and told us to remove our pants an underwear, then put us across her lap. We didn’t know if we were going to get a spanking, get checked for constipation, or have our temperature taken rectally. Sometimes though, mom already had the enema bag hanging up. So, when we got to the bathroom, we knew what was coming. A spanking first, then an enema. If it was to get checked for constipation and found not constipated, we were finished. However, if found constipated, we got a soapy then a rinse enema. If it was to check our temperature and it was normal, we were finished. If we had a temperature, sometimes we got a rinse enema and other times we didn’t, it depended on what our temperature was. Mom and our aunts normally gave us enemas together, however, when they wanted to check us, it was in private in the bathroom. Grandma was different, with a couple of exceptions, enemas were private affairs done one on one in the bathroom. Those are what I consider to be old fashion enemas. However, you can’t talk about old fashion enemas without talking about old fashion spankings then an enema afterwards, because the two went hand in hand in the nineteen fifties and sixties for most kids growing up. I know they did for us.

Wasn't this the title of a song by Three Quart Night??

The ancient Egyptian pharaohs had a "Shepherd of the Anus" to administer enemas using a hollow reed. That should count as old fashioned!

Then my mother was the "shepherdess of my anus." Her hollow thing was made of Bakelite and used it to administer the fluids into my colon...🤗😎

While I have my favorite enema liquid which can vary depending on my mood at the time, and the time available, sometimes nothing beats a quart or two of plain warm water given with my red rubber fountain syringe. Nothing fancy and it only takes a few minutes but it just puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day. Sometimes simple is best.

Closed top bag❤️

Yes ....... I am very interested in all three items of enema equipment you reference and again yes ......... the ' old fashioned enema ' is still very much in ' vogue ' . From a gentleman who ' came of age ' during the referenced ' golden age ' of enemas hence my proclivity for ' old fashion ' .

To me an old fashioned enema would consist of either a bulb, bag, or a bucket; soapy water and usually 1.5 qts., given on left side. A modern enema would be a fleet saline. My preferred equipment is a hospital plastic bucket where you can mix the soap right in the bucket as it is being filled.

I only use Fleets for convenience and when I have no equipment and only a short period of time. Fleets still take about 20 minutes and cause cramping and only reach to bottom of the poop vault. I have been wrestling with constipation resulting from GLP-1's. My Dr. is OK with enemas if they don't exceed one every two weeks. She recently switched me to Monjarno, which is not as constipating as Ozempic. So far so good, except I still have to take at least 1000Mg. of mag oxide a day. So far no gut cramps and no emergency enema to keep from becoming impacted. I can say at some point I will use and enema just to feel completely cleaned out, it feels so good to be empty of poop, and an enema is the only way to do it with some amount of control.
