Enema Solution Flow rate

Here's a question for all.

What is the difference in flow rate using a 1/4" hose and a 5/16" hose? Bag height would be the same.

Will I feel the difference?

There will be less resistance to flow with the larger diameter tubing. However, the flow rate will be largely governed by the nozzle outlet hole diameter and the difference will be imperceptible.

Go to a 3/8" or 1/2" and you will definitely have a faster flow over a 1/4" if your bag is more than three feet high. At four feet or more, the difference will be considerable if you use a colon tube or nozzle with an orifice the same size as the hose diameter.

Give me a bag hung high, a wide bore hose with two clamps, one for flow rate control and the other for ON/OFF, a fat stiff colon tube or a double balloon catheter, a bottle of lubricant, and I'm set for a good time.

I like an enema to last a while. I set the container low and exercise my stomach and sphincter muscles to get it started. The entrance of a cooler enema is easier to notice as it trickles inside the butt. I try to suck it in without much gravity.

Where does someone find 1/2 tubing? I have checked a number of websites, no luck.

Try eBay, search for rubber tubing. Right now I see 10 ft. of 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD latex rubber tubing among the first few results, price around $20. Silicone tubing costs more but is available if you want to avoid latex.

With large tubing the flow is much greater and more enjoyable in my oppinion

I have a 6qt bag with slightly oversized tubing and a barium nozzle that I use for faster flow. I hang it at about 4' when I really want to feel it. It also seems to help me take larger volumes.

A very reliable resource for all kinds of tubing: rubber, latex, silicone, plastic etc is McMaster-Carr. Simply Google the name, put 'tubing' in the search box then select the 'plastic and rubber tubing' box and you'll find all kinds. I just ordered some stuff the other day, the service was fantastic as is the product...and the pricing. Good luck.

Tubing is not expensive. you could really buy both sizes and test them out to determine what you like best.

I use a standard enema hose most of the time, and find that a slow rate of flow allows me to take a greater volume with little problem. When using the garden hose (5/8 inch size)for instance, the flow is greater and thus the volume and more difficult to hold.

I can get a flow rate of about a qt per minute That's fat enough but no too fast.

With most bag-nozzle combinations that is about 3 ft above where your rectum is when you are in position

I have some sort of tubing that is somewhere between 1/4 and 3/8". I figured it was "normal" until people commented that the bag seemed to empty fast.

Remember that the cross sectional area is pi times the square of the radius, so small changes are significant.
