Volume limit

I usually can take 2 qts without too much trouble.

I have taken 4qt enemas on a couple of occasions, but about 2 to 2 1/2 qts is my comfort and enjoyment level.

First of the series I can usually only hold 2 qts. Second one I can get 4qt in without too much trouble. I have a 5 qt bag but have never tried that amount yet. I had a JBL sit on at one point, that one really did allow for deep fills but I don't think it held more than 4 qts.

6 is my max and I can only reach that occasionally, 4 is easy and 5 is usually some what easy.

For me, it depends a lot on flow rate. If I go slow, I can take 6 liters comfortably over an hour or so with an empty colon. Usually I max out at 4 liters and 2 liters is a good starter volume.

I've found I can take three quarts easily, and that four is a challenge. A former emate of mine once said she got six quarts into me, but she may have exaggerated. As with all things enema, listen to your body. It will tell you when enough is enough. Your capacity is going to vary from enema to enema in any case.

Typically 3 liters, maybe 4. To my amazement I once slowly took 6 with little discomfort and it sort of freaked me out. Haven't done it again, it doesn't seem like a good idea.

I would like to add a comment. From what I've seen in videos, some people start with a 2 Qrt. bag, that is not quite full. SO, they are actually starting at 1 3/4 qrts. Then they purge the air out and they are down to maybe 1 1/2 Qrts. Then they do this twice and call it four quarts. This is cheating. I have a pitcher that I measure everything in, then fill the bag , and top off for spillage, air, etc. My limit is an honest 3.5 qrts. 5 qrts for the cheaters.

The thing about enemas is that there is a pretty large tolerance. A 1.5L "2L" enema probably works just about as well as a 2L enema for cleaning out. For kink enemas the sensations are what counts, and that varies by person and by situation.

That said I do tend to measure out mine so I can be "honest," but I know that that is not critical.

For the volume limit listen to your body. That is the most important thing.

This is true but usually the second or third enema is where the volume goes up. I'm not sure if it's clearing the decks or maybe relaxing and stretching the colon but when trying to give a big enema that is usually when you can get 4 quarts in.

I do measure the volume of the enema through the use of a cup that is marked in both fluid ounces and ml. My preference is to work in ml or liters simply because there is no question about the volume I'm working with whereas am I working in US quarts or some other quart measure. It also makes figuring percentages of liquid soap and/or glycerin a lot easier.

As for how much I can hold, as noted below, that tends to vary from enema to enema. I take cues from my body. I love being filled, but I do so for the feeling of being filled, not for trying to reach some volume. For example, if I haven't had a recent enema and recent bowel movement it might only be between 1.5 and 2.0 liters. Allowing the enema in slowly can mean that it gives time and space for the liquid to flow around (and soften) anything in the colon. Here recently, I have been experimenting with taking and holding (for 10-15 minutes) the first two liters and then refilling (or using a separately filled bag) and sliding the nozzle back in and taking the next 2 liters for a 4-liter first enema. I have found I can do this fairly often rather than filling with 2 liters, expelling and going on to a larger volume.

It's not unusual for me to take multiple enemas of between 4 and 4.5 liters. Larger volumes tend to challenge me for hold time, but again that is variable. If I'm doing a long, slow enema (like more than an hour) I might fill slowly enough to let my colon "adapt" to the liquid volume. Recently, I took on a total of 4.5 liters of coffee (with baking soda additive) over a span of 90 minutes. The fact that I had cleaned out earlier made it easier to take and hold. The additional "incentive" that I was chatting with another zity member online and sharing or trying to share the sensations being experienced probably helped me in holding it just a bit longer.

I have held over 5 liters several times and only at or slightly over 6 liters at least twice. Again, I was listening to the cues my body was sending and the nominal 6.0-6.25 liter limit seems to be my personal volume limit if everything is right. That has required a baking soda enema to be at those high volumes. Nice distention and an incredible sense of mass associated with a completely full colon.

In addition to excessive distension, another one of my concerns with these high volume enemas is the weight of the water and what effect it's having on the connective tissues that hold things in place. 6 liters is over 13 pounds.

I like to listen and watch my sub to see and hear if he is getting full. From experience he can usually take around 2 quarts, give or take. I push his limits with 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 quarts. This isn't done on the first or the second try. Especially if he is backed up. Getting some space in his bowels makes a bit of a difference in what he can take.

I've posted here before, but thinking back about 50 years I'll pass along some observations. First my comfort level is about is 2500cc (2.6 quarts). I can do 3 quarts, and got to the gallon club once or twice, both times with very low flow through a deeply inserted colon tube, I didn't think it was much fun

The first woman I regularly did enemas with took two quarts from the outset, and that was her comfort level, any more and she would start to feel nauseous. Even after we split we would occasionally meet and have enema play, and that was the amount she was comfortable with. She was of slim build, 5' 6"

The next woman, even though she had been given a barium enema and had taken, by her observation, most of it when she was about 18, when we started out she had trouble taking much, and was most comfortable with a couple of douche syringe bulb fulls. Didn't like bags at all She was 4' 11" and average build. Now fast forward 5 years, she doing 2500 cc as easily as I and liked the bag high and fast flow, and lots of soap. She would routinely request a super-soaper. When we got an E-Z-Em Super bag with the large diameter tubing she was into knee-chest and as fast as it would go in. And, funny how kink develops, from being a bit uncomfortable if I was in the bathroom with her when she expelled to sitting on the edge of the tub and expelling so she could see everything that came out and wanting me to watch.

Most all of my partners, and there have been a few over the years, were happy with 2 to 2 1/2 quarts, but one achieved almost 6 quarts at an eFest in Las Vegas in 2001 or 2.

So, in my observation over the years, 2 to 2/2 quarts is comfortable for most people, but, as they say, your results may vary.

Essentially if you are getting any headache, vertigo, nausea, or just feeling "Wrung out" even mild you are at very least right at your limit, Don't keep pushing past that

EnemaRunner,

Back in March you noted:

"I have held over 5 liters several times and only at or slightly over 6 liters at least twice. Again, I was listening to the cues my body was sending and the nominal 6.0-6.25 liter limit seems to be my personal volume limit if everything is right. That has required a baking soda enema to be at those high volumes. Nice distention and an incredible sense of mass associated with a completely full colon."

Thats a nice description in your last line about distention and sense of mass holding 6 quarts! I usually do 4 and I did 5 just once as almost an accident when more than I intended flowed in, but I enjoyed it. The 5 was certainly more pressure and distention than 4, but still nothing but pleasant sensations without pain or I would have stopped earlier. If I get another DBC (my outer balloon ruptured) I'll probably aim for 5 again, maybe more if it feels good. I really enjoy the "sense of mass" of these large enemas especially while holding and also rolling around and getting up from the floor. We'll see how it feels.

Eric,

What is cool about this now is that I have two bags that can actually hold 6-liters if I fill them with hot water and am willing for to allow them to cool enough to let the solution flow in. No need to stop and refill. More erotically, it provides the opportunity to have two people with the same volumes awaiting them.

Of course, with an open top bag, you can continually add to the volume as the enema flows in. Just keep track. I can't take this much volume all the time, but the sense of mass and volume is a neat feeling. With 6 kg inside (13.2 lbs) it's kind of hard to miss the massive increase.

Do both bags each hold 6 liters? I suspect I'll eventually work up to near or at 6 quarts as I do the same as you, aiming for a pleasant filled/massive feeling, not a specific volume, and 5 quarts worked fine without any complications. I do need to get the new DBC first, as the single balloon I have just doesn't work well enough to keep the water in the way the two balloons did together. Like I read once in an enema fetish magazine, someone wrote that even an experienced slave/submissive can't ignore a massive enema.

Your body will TELL you what it's limit is.

If you feel more than just a slight nausea, a headache, Vertigo, Light-headdedness. or if it expels a balloon-type retention nozzle, that's your body screaming "STOP!"

You ARE over your personal limit. You need to back off!
