Leakage

Does any one have problems with leakage after a enema 2-4 hours later even the next day ?

If there is still some water in you, and you feel like you need to fart, sometimes one can have leakage problems- on the other hand, your body should either be absorbing the water, or expelling it. Try putting salt or another solution in the enema to keep your body from absorbing it, then try and expell all the solution the first day. This should limit leakage problems.

To prevent leaking several hours after enema, I use salt and peppermint in the last one. It's been the perfect solution for leaking.

Unless it's oil never had a prob.

I have used Playtex Gentle Glide super plus tampon. It traps water, absorbing it, stops leaks. Seems to work and feels good in place

I would agree that it is probably inevitable that at some point one will usually experience a bit of a leakage problem. The maxi pad works really well for the "wet gas attack". Although I also use a tampon every once in a while to prevent leakage, I had a very bad gas attack once, and blew the tampon out unexpectedly; it was a little painful and made it very difficult to walk to the bathroom, I was in a public place when it happened. Had to throw the underwear out and make a maxi from toilet paper to make it home without soiling my pants. One of my least favour moments in the enema world.

If you use oil (olive, mineral, etc), leakage is always a problem, if water based solutions are used, take the time to expell, but be on the lookout for an hour or 2 after, just in case.

By then, it's not really leakage. I DO start getting watery movements again 2-3 hours after a clear return. Sometimes with a little soapsuds left, fairly often with some digestive juices. I just prepare, and accept thart I will have to run to the toilet on short notivce for a couple of hours. Sometimes, when I do a system cleanout, I do get a little nausea lingering into breakfast the next day.

I think depending on how large the enema is that you took that that is normal. Larger enemas (2qt +) take "a while" to either absorb or fully expel. Several hours can pass and then there is still an occasional semi-whoosh. Smaller enemas 2qt's or less, not so much so. Fleet enemas, on the other hand, can "haunt" for hours.

For me, with a larger enema, you can retain some water for a while. I suspect it comes from higher up the intestine. I need to pay attention, and if I feel some pressure maybe an hour later, it's best to drop trou and get rid of that last quart of water. Farting is most definently not recommended!!!

My last enema was a single 3+ qt baking soda & salt. I had some drainage for 3 hours afterward. Although I tried a tampon earlier, after reading these posts, I will send some pm's for the correct procedure for the tampon insertion. As someoone below stated "never trust a fart after an enema".

Never mix salt and baking soda ,because difficult to know if your proportions are good !

and remember a part of the water in your rectum and colon is going in your blood and body ,

respect your health , play safe ,

the best is to use baking soda because cooking salt is bad for your arteries ;

once more here are the right proportions :

Table Baking Soda

54,25 gramms/gallon

1,91 Oz/Gallon

0,48 Oz/Quart

14 gramms/liter

and here under if you will use cooking salt :

Table Salt NaCl

34,88 gramms/gallon

1,23 Oz/Gallon

0,31 Oz/Quart

9 gramms/lit

Not usually after an enema but often after a colonic I will slip on a adult diaper for the drive home because sometimes there will be just a little more water that wants to come out and with the diaper there is no problem.

I have no leaks but have messed up thinking I had to fart

After an oil enema... yes

After water... no

I agree with Ashley-Saint. When u have an oil enema it can linger for hours. Especially with oil, as someone said, never trust a fart. I had a problem with that the following day after an oil enema. I thought I had gas and I ended up with an oily spot on the back of my pants. Never a problem with water

After an enema or a glycerin suppository, left after the visit toilet still some risk, a tampon possible good solution. A.

I have had leakage during an enema, but not after an enema. Today was a good example. I don't know what happened, but the towel was very wet afterward and I couldn'get the whole bag in. This was a rare occurrence for me.

I would not really call it leakage, but you WILL have several more expulsions, some of them fairly small for the next several hours. They are only one sign that the enema did it's job.

Oil enemas should always be followed by one or two soap suds enemas to remove the oil, then a mil rinse such as baking soda.

For the first several hours after an enema I need to be careful if I feel the need to fart. There always seems to be some residual fluid wanting to leak out with that. But actual leakage while I am just going about my daily business, no. I have been wanting to do an oil enema but haven't yet, I would not be surprised if there is some leakage then.

And even after a thorough rinse, don't be surprised if you get "leakage" of oil hours later after an oil enema. Not worth the risk and hassle in my mind.

If you want to avoid the risk of wet pants or even a dime tampon use, preferably with a tampon applicator for easy insertion. A

Never tried an oil enema. I have only use warm water and sse. I have not had problems with leakage, but i never trust a fart.

No leakage, but several urgent trips after taking 3 qt+ enemas was a problem - which meant staying close to home for a while! Now I stay with 2 qt per load with thorough releases and have no real problem even with a 3 or 4 load session - although a single delayed release trip may be necessary a couple hours later. This can be planned for. Of course, I never trust a ....

After a Fleet Oil enema, they tell you to follow with a Fleet saline. I don't trust them, so if I ever use oil I follow it with 2 qts. soapy.

Even after a large volume tap or soap, I stuff a good wad of TP up against the anus; sometimes it is needed.

Consider all farts to be "sharts" for the next few hours after an enema...
