Does capacity really matter to you

I find most enema bags deceiving when it comes to knowing how much enema solution it really holds because I love challenging myself to see how much enema I can take from day to day. My question, do you really know or care?

To solve the issue, I made a homemade enema container out of a four quart clear juice container then marked it off using a Sharpie at half qt. amounts on both sides of the container to determine how much enema I have taking. This gives me a feeling of satisfacting when I acheived my goal. Tomorrow,I will set a new goal.

The amount only matters to me Every once in a while I'm realy feeling loose I like to see if I can top my Fullest about 31/2 Qts

Although I have taken a full 4-qt enema on a few occasions in the past, my preference is to do multiple 2-qt enemas. For me, I find these much more satisfying, and I don't have the sense that I am going to do myself any physical harm as well.

I agree with healthymale. Don't hurt yourself with an enema that is too large for your colon. Know your safe limits. If you find you can take more, and your enema bag is lacking in capacity, you can always siphon solution back into your bag to increase its capacity.

With one foot of my colon being removed, I think I do pretty good by taking 2.5 qts. I have a 4 qt. Klystra silicone bag, but that amount is bragging, I assure you.

Capacity means volume. I've done enough experiments, even in the zero gravity environment of a hot tub, so I know all too well my own capacity. My colon matches my irrigator which holds 2.16 qts when full to the brim although I ordinarily take measured, 2.11 qts enemas. Being a living thing and not a piece of elastic plumbing my own capacity will change a little from session to session just like everyone else's.

I always fill my colon to capacity, otherwise I wouldn't pronounce it a good enema. I first perform a quick cleanout to clear the path from solid residues then enjoy a thorough fill. Lying down allows for the warm fluid to reach into the cecum long before I can sense any major distension - that's also when I feel its inner embrace, perhaps my sessions' cuddliest moment. At this point I click the clamp down one notch and let the enema proceed until my colon won't allow any more fluid so that when I'm done the flow will just stop. A few times plain distress from everyday life takes its toll so I must cut the flow leaving out about a cup of solution or two, but generally I am utterly relaxed so I don't need to touch the clamp at all and flow stops as soon as the irrigator empties. My current hose is red rubber but I still have a clear one which I used to unclamp toward the end to watch the last solution inside it raise and fall in sync with my breathing. Provided you are neither exerting pressure on the abdominal wall nor experiencing cramps (not my cup of tea either) or even plain peristaltic waves, it acts as a gauge: a quick and undelayed reaction of the water column is a dead giveaway that you've reached full capacity so your bowel won't stretch furthermore.

Not that it should prompt you to attempt to, I must add. I am supposed to be among klismos, not pain freaks... at least I hope so. :-) By the way, is that what you're pointing to by asking us «capacity really matter»?

As far as the straight question is concerned, my answer is no: I only need to know whether a given reservoir will hold enough solution to fill my colon to capacity, and mine does.

I have a bag with markings for each 2 dl, goes up to 3 liters. I like to fill it completely and then take as much as I can (while still being comfortable).

I'm much more focused on quality over quantity with my enema routines. I've used a 4 quart Klystra bag for many years (on my 3rd now, clear silicone) only because I know a satisfying enema for me requires about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts, and drugstore variety bags with 2 quart capacities don't cut it. Many years ago I experimented with larger volumes and was successful at draining the full 4 quarts using a double balloon, but was turned off by the level of discomfort with the larger volume. And I want my enemas to turn me on, not off. So you won't find me participating in a volume contest anytime soon.

I, too, believe like Lisa that capacity does matter. It may not matter to you, but I don't feel like I've had a decent enema until I have filled my colon. As a long time enema user I, too, lhave found that most store bought enema bags differ greatly in the amounts that they hold. So, as a result, I measure out my water with the use of quart mason jars. Each bag gets 2 jars so I know exactly how much water I have taken in an enema session. This morning, I was able to take six bags. No cramping or nausea. Again, volume and capacity to me are both important.

I used to use the standard drug store two quart bag, but I was never satisfied with it, and I felt that I needed more. Since getting my four quart bag, I think I have found the right amount.

A few years ago, I had a benign tumor in my colon and they took out 13 inches. I can take four quarts in reasonable comfort if I do it slowly.

I never have gotten any more pleasure from a large quantity enema. For years I've stayed with a 2qt enema and still love them.

I for the most part always want my Lady to receive a minimum of two full quarts per bag..... For me it's part of the whole ritual of giving or receiving an enema. Not finishing the bag is like receiving oral sex without the climax(cumming).

The actual capacity doesn't seem to matter as much as the feeling of being good and full. Sometimes that happens at two quarts other times it can take almost four quarts and a few times even a few drops more.

For me, it takes four to five quarts (after I'm cleaned out) to get to that pleasure/pain/pressure/filled feeling that I really enjoy.

We are all different, I like to take a minimum of 4 quarts, but up it takes up to 6 quarts to get that completely "stretched" and full feeling which I love. If yu feel that after 2 quarts that's great.

Volume does matter! My ultimate goal is to hold four quarts and I usually do that on my first try. It is also a matter of sensation. If I start to cramp, that's the signal to stop. That's usually a sign that I am full of feces and it's time to move it. Continue then, with a series until I am empty and my full gallon is reached. When that happens, I feel that I am clean and can proceed with my day feeling invigorated.

It's an enema and not a race!

Also, an enema a day keeps the doctor away !

I'm much more focused on quality over quantity with my enema routines. I've used a 4 quart Klystra bag for many years (on my 3rd now, clear silicone) only because I know a satisfying enema for me requires about 2 1/2 to 3 quarts, and drugstore variety bags with 2 quart capacities don't cut it.

Redbulb, I could not have said it better! My trusty Klystra 4 quart bag is a part of my routine, but I rarely ever get all four quarts inside. I go more for the sensual feelings an enema creates than seeing how much I can take. When the "feelings" come during the filling, I know where the hose clamp is!! Enemas, for me, are exotic, erotic and exhilarating...not a means of pain and punishment.

Have fun and play safe!

Yes, capacity is somewhat important to me. I always use my clear Klystra 4 quart bag filled to the brim.

Although my goal is to finish it all, I usually don't take the full 4 quarts but end up somewhere around the 3½ mark. I could probably take the full amount easily if I took a second one, but i generally take only one enema.

I just feel it's necessary to get that really full feeling to do the job.

I need four quarts to reach orgasm....

Enemas should never be a contest to take the most or the fasted or the biggest nozzle. Do what feels right for you and never do anything unsafe or stupid. Personally I like 2 or 3 quarts with a little ivory soap added. I've taken 4 quarts but it's raelly too much for me.

Unless you're getting an enema for medicinal purposes, capacity has no relationship to pleasure ... I can testify that my best enemas were less than (actually far less than) two quarts ... it's what goes with the enema that makes it a pleasurable and memorable experience.

I love when my hubby does all the nice things to me even before he inserts the well-lubed nozzle.

Our most recent outdoor enema session was an example of that ... he had prepared the enema, I positioned myself on my tummy on our picnic table ... he inserted the nozzle, gave me a few ounces of the clear liquid, then stopped the flow and began a full body massage, stopping occasionally to add a few ounces to my intesting ... the massage half took about 20 minutes or so ... starting with the shoulders, working down the spine, fingering every port of my posterior, then down my legs, right to my toes ... I think the gave me a few ounces at least five times.

Then he had my roll on my back ... doing the same thing ... occasionally added a few ounces to me ... his massaging of my frontal area was fantastic ... the completed the enema by openiing the flow as he played with my precious area .... it took about 40 minutes for the whole process.

I felt full, envigorated, emotionally high ... whatever you're supposed to feel I really felt.

I didn't rush to relieve myself ... but for a while I didn't think I could hold it much longer ... then I used our outdoor privy (It's in the garage). What a great feeling.

Then I returned the favor .... what an afternoon.

Like I said ... size doesn't mean anything when taking an enema ... my hubby proved that again.

4 quarts for two hours retention is my standard. My personal best is over 5 quarts for 30 min.

2 qt is fine - and 2 qt is a maximum because its not a contest

I'm usually just over 2 qts but size dosnt realy mater though I do see how far I can go. just under 4qts

Yes, capacity is important. I need to get 3.5 to 4 quarts in to produce a hands free orgasm. A spontaneous orgasm like that is the best.

Volume is very important. When taking an enema, expanding all the segments of the large intestine helps to clean the entire passage out much better by dislodging matter than a colon that is only partially filled. In the old medical books on the subject there is one author that wrote only an enema of 4 quarts or greater is effective in cleaning the colon, and any less than that would be considered ineffective. I don't agree with THAT much solution, and I am sure glad this guy was not our family doctor.

I guess volume isn't extremely important to me but I do try to hold as much as I can. The best I can do right now is 2 qts if I'm trying really hard, I've only been doing enemas for fun for a few months so I guess I'll get better as time goes on maybe.

I used to have an "EX" who would insert the nozzle, open the clamp while we had conventional sex. By the end of one quart, I had climaxed very hard and had to pull out and expel.

When going solo, I always try for 2-2.5 liters to get a good clean out. With one foot of my colon gone, 2 liters is a pretty good fill up.

I think the reason that most syringe manufacturers made 2 qt. bags is , that is all most people can handle; we are klysmos. and usually want more.

Most of the time I will hold a 2qt bag. Once after a few enemas I had two bags and had them both full. I took one bag and started on the next. I got a total of 3qts in me while I was laying in the tub. Thank goodness I was in the tub because I exploded.
