Habits | Colon Tubes -- Red Rubber vs.…

First post

I am familiar with what I call "red rubber" colon tubes. My favorite is a 48" 36fr I have had for many years. They are still available. Initially it was too stiff, meaning not very flexible but I soaked it in mineral oil and Vasoline and heated it in same until it became more flexible.

It is getting old and will have to be replaced. I note that now there are silicone colon tubes available in the same sizes as the red rubber ones. Do any of you have experience with the silicone ones. Are they flexible and comparable at the same fr. size? Would you get the same effect with a 34 or 28fr? The smaller diameters in the red rubber colon tubes tend to easily double back and are difficult to insert the entire length. What about silicone? It is all about finding one that will go all the way up without doubling back but at the same time not being too inflexible so that there is risk of penetrating the colon wall. We want to be safe and comfortable while having fun.

Bottom line: In silicone what diameter works best in the very long tubes?

There is nothing that precludes coloring silicon red.

Just like on this site, many of the people writing those things are those for whom English is not a first language

Proficiency varies!!

Our most often used pipe is 20 inch X 9/16 semi-soft silicone with a Delrin plug termination that is 5/8 inch diameter. It has 8 fine holes set radially with a leather punch. The spray is intended to wash and comfort dramatically and playfully.

It's not the color. The Davols are somewhat stiffer than typical silicone, their tips are better contoured, and their surface is less tacky.

We love and prefer the old red rubber colon tubes. Various ones made of silicone were also tested, but they do not feel like those made of rubber.

Our stock includes lengths of 30, 40, 50 and 75 cm, preferred diameters between CH26 and CH34.

If you want to try something special, you should take a closer look at this catheter:

With a shaft diameter of CH44, a head diameter of about 30cm, and a length of about 31cm, it may appear enormous, but anyone who has ever felt its full length in the colon knows about the absolutely awesome feeling.

As long as real rubber colon tubes are available, we will prefer these tubes.

While browsing through the picture gallery, I actually came across pictures of another member inserting such a catheter into the anus:

I am using a red rubber 20 inch one and can not seem to get more than 12 inches in. The person receiving really likes it but wants the whole thing. Any tips

I have one of the 30" 32-Fr red rubber tubes. My wife cannot seem to get it past the splenic flexure. She was able to one time out of many tries and I really liked the feeling when it was in all the way. Then I bought one of the 30" silicone tubes from OHN with the soft flexible pointed tip and that one goes in all the way very easily. She will open the clamp a little more to get around the splenic flexure but it goes past without much resistance. I would recommend this tube if you are having issues with others.

My favorite colon tube was a 40”, 28fr closed end, red Davol…when inserted completely i could get the best fill ever. Could always feel it pushing past the bends in the colon.

However, now i only have a 30” red, unbranded, closed end tube..30fr. It works fine, especially if I first fill my rectal vault with mineral oil. Sort of a lube as you go approach.

I tried the silicone tubes but they need more stiffness as they tend to kink and fold over.

By far the best and most effective in all the 60 years of receiving colon tube enemas in my time here on earth… yes, (they began before my 10th tender year here).

By the way, it took 55 of those years to work up to the over 1" diameter + 39'' length !

…. It is without reservation, the nicely ribbed ‘Shower Shooter’ nozzle by Silicone Nozzles. Mildly Firm is the perfect softness, No kinking, It WILL go the entire length desired !

With the large end rounded off at the 39" mark and a 6" long plastic extension piece inserted in that larger end, there is a total length of 44" inserted through the rectum, around the bends and beyond, fully to the mark, therefor cleansing deeply beyond the transverse area of my colon and then the interesting addition of holding the 2½ quarts of soothing softened water, for 30 pleasant minutes while relaxing and enjoying the myriad sensations of which I do not find words to describe… followed then, with the tube being gently removed over 2-3 minutes, for a slow and relaxing elimination to finalize the exquisite session.

Has anyone tried the Cleanstream 20" silicone colon tube? Is it too stiff or too soft?

@eneman55 I tried this one and he was too stiff… had a hard time to pass the sigmoid. Even if I used the lube shooter

Size 32fr-30' long best for me. red rubber, never tried silicone one.
