Glycerine suppository sizes

When I was about ten years old my mum always gave me adult size glycerine suppositories. These used to feel bigger going up my bottom as she had given me child sized ones before that. Anyone else given these befor they should have?

Yeh, I always got the adult size!

I always got the adult size, my grandmother was very overzealous with their use and would give us them whenever we 'acted constipated' or admitted that we didnt go that day

I started getting adult dulcolax suppositories much later ..18...i was kinda embarrassing , but ok..i have a tight anus, which made the administering difficult...thanks to dulcolax that they make the suppositories in a comfort shaped size

Did you start straight off with dulcolax suppositories or started out with glycerine suppositories.

I got the adult size...

I got the baby ones just once from my mom she was not an anal person at all never even asked us about our bowel movements i think the suppo was for naseua

No I was given infant suppositories. I kind of wonder what it would have been like if I was given adult suppositories. I definitely like taking larger suppositories now.

Adult size always got my vote. I wanted these for more reasons then going to the toilet.

I remember getting the large ones most times when I was small I think they were used to promote a better effect..

I was always given age appropriate sizes - which doesn't mean they never exceeded the stated dose!

In the UK the boxes of adult size (4 gram) suppositories state that they are for adults and children over 12 years. Only problem with them is they take about 30-45 minutes to melt completely. I reckon this is why two are usually given in hospital, on the basis that it's likely that they will only half of each one will dissolve before being expelled.

Why mess with the little ones it you are after evacuation results or if you are just after the sensation of them traveling up your rectum?
