Enemas during a woman's period

A number of colonic hydrotherapists in the UK state on their websites that taking a colonic during a woman's period is particularly good as the body is cleansing naturally.

Enemas were a firm favourite of my mother and grandmother for menstrual cramps. Prior to getting our periods, my sister and I would be given enemas regularly as children, however our brother seemed to get them less often. Even though my sister is 3 years older than me, I got my first period around 6 months after she did. Our first few periods our mum or granny gave us enemas to relieve cramps, and after that they directed us to have an enema when they deemed us to be having cramps.

Ibuprofen didn’t exist as far as they were concerned and masturbation was never a something they’d endorse, let alone to help with cramps. The enema was your only option to them.

@Vicki_V Enema was used many years to 80-90. Was like obvious treatment if you had been on hospital or sanatorium due red flow.

I prefer to do an enema before my period in 1-2 days.

In "The Vagina Bible," Dr. Jen Gunter discusses cramps and digestive issues as they relate to the menstrual cycle. (It's a good book to educate yourself, even if you already know a lot.) Many women experience constipation and bloating in the days before their periods, making cramps worse and sometimes leading to diarrhea as the body tries to deal with all this stuff going on in the confined space of the abdomen.

She recommends upping fiber and reducing salt during that part of the cycle, but if you didn't, an enema probably produces a similar result. And if you orgasm as well, that usually results in a gush of menstrual blood and an end to cramps for several hours.

As I’ve said in other post, my girlfriend in Junior High, approached me about giving her enemas for period cramps. Saying something about it, after my sister gave her an enema a few times for cramps. Because it seems, my sister told her about our after-school activities giving each other enemas for various reasons, including period cramps. And my girlfriend did, likewise, telling my sister that she and her younger sister were doing the same thing. Giving each other enemas for the same reasons we did, including period cramps.

When she approached me about it, I wasn’t too surprised, because my sister told me about their conversation when she gave her a couple of enemas. But I hadn’t realized, my girlfriend also gave my sister enemas, every time my sister gave them to her. We were two fourteen-year-old horny teenagers, and enemas help relieve that. So, I accepted her offer, and we started doing enemas together every month during her period. By the time we were fifteen, along with enemas during the week of her period, we were having sexual intercourse. Sometimes, before we gave each other enemas, and sometimes afterwards. What we didn’t do, was have sexual intercourse during other times of the month, only the week of her period.

"recommended warm water enemas with salt and baking soda for period cramps.

I can honestly say a warm enema, some TLC and sex work wonders for menstrual pain. I was very lucky to have had a husband who enjoyed sex when I was on my period.

We were not yet married when I suggested she'd have an enema for cramps/pain relief in those times. She was on pills and hot pads. She thought it could not make it any worse and called it a miracle. We ended having really peasant anal sex, which became a fairly standard routine in our relationship. She advertised the "cure" with all her friends and relatives...in the beginning I was getting strange "looks" from my mother in law.... she also taught our daughter to use it if they felt "funny"...I know they do, even if they do not talk about it. Fun part was she told her doctor that told her that if it helped, by no means to go ahead and kind of hinted that also anal pleasures were a very good way to go.... some time after that same doctor told her she was too using the same method. When she told me, I said it would be nice to get together for an enema party...that time I got punished with enema and a good dose of strap....I miss her.....

The last woman who let me help her with an in-home colonic did so just before her period started, and she informed me the next day that it had. I hope to give her a few more soon. From chatting with various professional colon hydrotherapists, it's quite common for women to get colonics during or just before their cycle.
