Equipment for volume

For a long time I thought that I would like to have a large volume bag. Recently, I decided that some ingenuity might suffice. I think that what I produced is better than a single large volume bag. I went to the hardware store and bought a "tee" plastic fitting with barbed connectors like ordinary nozzles. They didn't happen to have any "Y" fittings. Then I bought a short piece of vinyl tubing the same size as my exiting enema hoses. I take two bags with hoses and connect them to the tee and put the short piece on the third connector. Attach any nozzle of choice and fill 'er up!

The thing which is better than a single bag is that I put different solutions in each bag. I start the harshest one and then when cramps start, I clamp that hose and start the other (maybe a soothing salt solution). The result is that I can vary the enema as needed even during the course of one enema. Misjudging the amount of soap or my own sensitivity at the time can be corrected midcourse. Rather than having to stop due to cramps, I can usually end up with a substantially greater quantity than otherwise.

Hooray for hardware!

Much cheaper too to go to hardware and get fittings. Smart move! 😉

Several years ago, I went to to a scientific surplus supply place in the western suburbs of Chicago, and found plastic connectors, latex tubing, tubing clamps and other little goodies adaptable for enemas. I know there's a place like this in Denver, and I suspect in other larger cities too. Anyway, I got a box of "Y" connectors with 3/8" inside diameter, and used them to combine two enema bags for more (ooh!) capacity. Much cheaper than gallon bags, and much more flexible. Absolutely beats the outrageous prices on eBay, and besides shopping is great fun when your imagination is able to run wild with all the possibilities......

Trips to the hardware store used to be kinda 'ho hum' for me... kinda like when hubby tagged along in fabric stores.

Not any more... The Home Depot and Ace Hardware can be so much fun...I can hardly get home and wait for hubby to McGuyver things so we can play...

I'm very happy to be married to a man who's so inventive!

To all who have responded here - Thank you! This was my first New Topic. It is gratifying to see responses. Finding none would be a bit like doing it alone - okay, but much better with company.

I've been doing the double container system for 25yrs now,one container wth saline solution,the other with a soap solution to be clicked on when the last amount of the first container is taking,this way the urge to expel is lessioned.All kinds of combinations are possible.THAT'S WHY I'M THE TWOBAGGER.Let the good times floww/m72yrs/Western Ma
