Emptying

It takes me a while to "empty" after a fill up, to the point that the amount of time is annoying. Does anyone have a technique to speed that up?

Look at it this way. It takes while to fill up, right? So it's gonna take time to empty. One thing I do after a fill up is empty what I can, but I don't push it. I'll get up and walk around the house until things start moving again.

Usually I take soapy enemas. This helps me get it all out in one sitting.

I find that gravity sucks. All joking aside, if I feel like I'm not emptying as much as I should (and I often do), I find that standing up and bending forward from the waist, and then bending to one side and then the other has a tendency to free up the works. Also, mental imagery of something moving down a long corridor, pipe, tube or something like that helps too. Taking an enema really stresses me out, so I have to remind myself to relax while expelling.

I know what you mean about the wait being a frustration. I often think that if I had that much time to waste sitting down, I'd get a job with the state government!

What's the problem? Just crush 4 Dulcolax tablets and mix the powder into your enema. Expelling will not be a problem.

It's up to you to find a way to clean it up, but lay on your back in the tub, and the water will flow out without any effort at all.

Don't rush it will all come out in the end. i find satnding up helps but don't walk to far way.

I attribute it to my colon getting a little lazy from years of enemas. I find that walking around a little eventually gets things moving. I agree that it can be a little annoying.

I sometimes have trouble getting much to come out on the first fill up. When this happens I find that if I take anouth Pint or two it will get it all moving. It's a matter of getting the parisolic activity of the colon started.

I have found that the best way to get expulsion really going is to slowly drink two cups of any liquid, preferably cold.

This never fails me.

Why is this a problem? A good enema is something that should be taken in a relaxed frame of mind. On those occasions where I've tried to rush an enema the results have been less that hoped for.

Squatting to expel works well but is difficult with American style toilets. I have found that sitting on the toilet with my feet up on something like a small stool has the same effect. It is also supposed to be better for you. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you.

If you don't empty as quickly as you desire, try getting up and walking around or jogging in place. That will help get the fluid out.

If flow slows or stops, clean up and start doing the activities you normally would. In time the rest of the fluid will make its way down your colon and will want to be expelled. Getting off the toilet and doing stuff help decrease the "down time".

It worked for me (once) to stand, legs apart and squat 2-3 times.... then the flow came in earnest. anyone else tried that?

Sometimes gently pushing in on your belly will seem to move the water downwards I find

Ironic that many of us strive for longer retention times but when we finally sit on the toilet we expect to expel immediately if not sooner.

Normally I take a high enema of 2,5 liters tap water, this without any pre-cleansing. So the water will rush out immediately after the fill.

I find that after the initial expulsion, if I get up and walk around, another urge to expell usually quickly arrives!-Do NOT walk too far from the toilet!

I actually have troubling with emptying too. Its slightly irritating as I like to follow up an enema by anal play. It takes away the intensity and eroticism when you constantly have to check and make sure there's nothing left inside thats going to ruin the fun.

Just give it time. No rushing nature.

Just time. Try eating a small meal too.

I dont let that bother me. I just do the second enema right on top of what wont come out!! makes for an URGENT second enema!!!

You've all heard the expression "When the fat lady sings?" It's kind of the same with an enema. I usually know that I'm empty after I let go of a good loud fart. Nothing left but the "shouting" at that point. With that in mind, it doesn't alway pay to "burb" all the air out of the line before the enema begins.Dump a load, "sing a song" and you're good to go!

I find sitting on the toilet and massaging my abdomen with pressure helps get the fluids moving around the numerous bends in my intestine. I also find walking around helps to get the fluids moving also,

Dangerous to speed it up too much! Relax!!! Let it come at it's own pace. You will probably feel worst between the first and second expulsions. Stay focused on the results.

As LisaK stated, Relax!!! I often find other things to do while holding and when I am not "thinking" or "focusing" on Empting, it just happens with ease.

Reaching high over your head also helps.

I have found the more you take, and the more often you take them the faster they come out.

Specially if you use soap. Water really gets stuck. I usually take a series. I found the first usually

gets stuck and almost never empties so, I take another. I can tell how much of the first was left

based on the amount of the second I take. Third soap enema and beyond, I'm usually opened

up and cleaned out causing things to flow right out. Once again water seem to get stuck.

Usually that first 3-4 quart enema does take a little time to empty. Relax and get up and refill your bag for your next fillup and this movement will help expel that first one. Sometimes just a little walk around the house will help you expel also. After that first one you will experience much faster expelling. I use to use Dr Bonners soap but this can be irritating and cause me problems taking my cleansing enemas after. Nice warm water enemas are great especially if you are going to take 4-5 enemas for a really good cleanout
