Hook on the wall.

The book "Architectural Graphic Standards" used to say (and maybe still does) The bag hook is to be located 5 feet from the floor. This is a book architects used to create the details of a building and was the industry standard.

Recently I saw an old photo taken in a bathroom with square tiles on the walls and the classic small hexagon tiles on the floor. On the wall there were two towel racks at arms height. Below the towel racks, there was a single small black hook to the side of the toilet tank, it appeared to be at the perfect height for hanging of a filled syringe bag so the person on the toilet could easily take a douche or enema.

Another eBay listing featured a vintage fountain syringe complete with original box and the printed instruction pamphlet. The information in the pamphlet was not all that easy to read due to some of it being out of focus. One area that was in good focus mentioned the hanging height for the syringe bag as very important and to have a hook installed on the wall if one was not already in the correct position.

Some time ago, I posted a video in the enema section that was produced for military members. I believe it was targeted for female members and produced by the Army. One would have to go back a ways in that section.

The part that interested me was about 38 minutes in whereby a gal retrieved her fountain syringe from a drawer and mixed up a douche then hung the bag in the tub. The sequence also showed her hanging the bag near the toilet. There was also some discussion about a bulb douche syringe. I have a white US Rubber Fountain Syringe that appears the same as the bag in the video.

The bottom line is that it reminded me of those wonderful days of the past. An enema or douche while on the toilet or in the tub, was certainly one of those simple pleasures. A convenient arrangement to hang the bag was critical.

Our family bag hung in the shower. My former in-laws hung 2 bags behind the bathroom door. I've seen them hanging in a variety of locations, including the hook on the wall.

I have been rather industrious and made arrangements to hang my bag(s) in any location that suits my immediate needs or preferences. I can take an enema in the Jacuzzi, tub, shower(s), on the toilet, on the floor, or lying in bed. I'm not fickle, and can manage wherever the need or desire dictates. BTW...those old wire hangers can be bent and manipulated in ways far more usable than just hanging clothing.

To sse4fun, you recently posted that you posted a video in the enema section that was produced for military members.

Is that video section here or on another site you forgot to mention in the post?

Now I’m curious as how many historical Queen Anne homes had a hook dedicated for the enema procedure. Think of how many were given in those old beautiful homes!

In the home I grew up in there was a very sturdy hook between the mirror above the bathroom sink and the toilet. Normally my father’s razor strop hung there, but it was also used for enemas. In case you are interested, the razor strop was used for sharpening my father’s straight edge razor, and not for spankings, although me and my three siblings were sometimes threatened with it. There was a second hook above the bathtub just below the shower nozzle, which if I remember correctly was always used for my enemas. My mother’s combination hot water bottle/enema bag was always hung from that hook for my enemas, sometimes directly, and sometimes a little lower by use of a white shoelace that my mother had permanently tied through the bag’s hanging hole, depending on how high my mother thought the bag should be above the recipient’s anus for their enema. That hook was also where the bag was hung for drying purposes, and so it was where the enema bag, complete with nozzle could most often be found. So when I was old enough to be allowed to lock the bathroom door during my baths, the enema bag left on that hook became my favorite bathtub toy. I have to admit that my little boy fanny got a lot of self-administered enemas by use of that hook.

As far as the bathroom growing up, the only hook in there was the robe hook on the back of the door.

I used it a few times I used the shower rail more often.

I could hand it from the shower curtain rail, spread my legs just enough that my lower legs straddled the toilet, and the hose would reach with some slack.

All I had to do was first stand, then lean, remove the nozzle and come straight down on the toilet!

No special hook in our bathroom. Mom used the white plastic hook to hang the bag from the towel rod.

Yep! Had a small hook up under the medicine cabinet. You couldn’t see the hook but you sure could see the full enema bag hanging from it!

Circa 1973 while visiting a friend that recently moved in across the hall in my apartment complex, I noticed a hook in the ceiling of her bedroom. It looked like a hook that is used for post construction ceiling style lamps. If there had been a lamp, it would have been suspended with a chain with the electric cord weaved through the chain links suspending the lamp to the overhead screw hook, across the ceiling to the wall and down to a wall socket for power. Since there was no suspended lamp I assumed it was broken.

Months later while studying with her one evening for a final exam, I visited the restroom. Her bedroom door was open allowing me a brief glimpse. The real reason for the hook became apparent. Hanging from the hook was a wooden pole about the size of a broom stick and maybe 2 feet in length. The stick had a loop on the top end that was hung from the hook on the ceiling. Suspended at the bottom of the pole was an open top bag with attached hose and enema nozzle.

It seemed a novel way to discretely and conveniently suspend a syringe.

Despite going in and out of friends apartments in the late 1940's and early 1950's I never saw anything as far as enema bags or spanking implements.

@Victoria1951 if I had seen that I would have been thinking of ways to bring it up and see if it led to any mutual enemas!

While looking for a bigger house to move into, we looked at house that a friend of ours had for sale. When we went into the master bath, I looked into the fully glass shower which had a hook on the one solid wall. I knew what that was for and I did not mention it to my wife. But I suddenly had the urge to buy that house! Unfortunately we found a house that fit our family better.

There was a hook on the back of the bathroom door that was next to the commode that was used for hanging the enema bag or bathrobes.when I became anal erotic around 10 yrs old mom never left the douche nozzle on the hose after my enemas.

Those hand towel rings were a handy convenience for hanging the enema bag near the toilet. It usually had a hand towel dangling, but the enema bag was sometimes there, although enemas on the toilet were pretty uncommon in my childhood. I got most of mine in the tub.

When creating my bathroom space at home, I made sure there were various options to accommodate a full enema bag for use and/or for drying or storage. A rolling IV stand is available for bedroom use or other potential areas.

It was about 1950 when a doctor told my mom that she was dirty and needed to douche. Dad came home with an open top fountain syringe and installed a coat hook on the back of the bathroom door about 5.5 or 6 feet from the floor. The bag always hung there in plain view of anyone who closed the door. Once she discovered the enema nozzle, it got lots more use. I was only 5 or 6 years old and could barely reach high enough to get the bag on or off the hook but I loved to play with it. It was years later I discovered that you don't have to be seated on the toilet to take an enema.

My husband installed three hooks in our master bath. One near the toilet and two in our walk in shower. One high to hold my douche syringe so I can douche standing up in the shower when I remove my diaphragm. The lower onesin the shower and by the toilet are to hold an enema bag. Once in a while if I don’t want to get undressed, I will douche sitting on our bidet. In that case the bag just hangs on the towel rack in front of the bidet.

I have mine just to the side of my bedroom window under the valance which makes it well concealed. When using the shower I have a planter hook which hangs over the glass partition to hold my bag. When not in use it hangs in the closet.

We / Mom had a screw in the wall holding up a picture in the bathroom. When that came down it was perfect for hanging an enema bag near the tub. This went along with the towel bar behind the toilet. Grew up knowing both.

Yes, there was a chromed coat hook style hook about five feet above the floor and a foot to the right of the toilet in the bathroom. I never saw a coat or robe on that hook.

Isn't finding the perfect home a good thing - hooks are cheap to install!!!

I hang mine on the shower rod, with a bungee cord of varying lengths. The cord is slick because as the bag gets lighter tbe pressure gets higher!

All n all just another hook in the wall …… Pink Floyd😂

I have a ceiling fan in the center of my bed that I always thought would be a great place to put a hook on the center plate. It has a screw right in the middle so it would be easy. Unfortunately I don't give any at home so there is no need.

Embarrassingly I received my enemas on our dining room table. My Mom had discovered years earlier when giving enemas to my three older brothers that the upper doors on the wall cabinets would swing open over the table. This provided a convenient place to hang the enema bag without the strain of holding the bag up by herself.

I realize now the height was easily over 3 to 4 feet over the table which now explains to me why my enemas were alway very, very crampy.

I've tried many a way of hanging up the bag…. There's a hook in that bathroom for taking one laying on the floor… another in the shower for an upright clean out and another on the ceiling over the bed….
