I like to, every month or two, to have a complete clean out. A series of 3 maybe 4 enemas which can run to clear. I have found over the years a sena tablet the night before makes the whole process to clear, much more effective.
I have read here over the years about people's experiences with 6 x 5mg Bisacodyl tablets for a 'complete evacuation'. I have tried Dulcolax pills over the years and in the last 15 years or so, my wife and I are rarely apart, so while she knows my enjoyment of enemas, the idea of trying 6 Dulcolax pills without knowing when they might kick in has kept me away from it, despite that curiosity.
Well the wife is away for a few days and last night I bit-the-bullet and at 11:15pm swallowed 6 of the Dulcolax pills. I find that when I have taken one or two, they tend to kick in between 8-10 hours. Knowing what I was doing was stepping into the unknown, I strapped on a diaper/nappy. I didn't need unexpected cleaning tasks.
Inside an hour of taking the pills I became very gassy... I guess that was the start, but perhaps coincidence. About 4:50am I woke and noticed no effects at all. I went to the loo for a wee. Once I got back to bed the rumbling started. Suddenly at 5:15am (exactly 6 hours in) I started cramping and thanks to the diaper, I was able to fart. This went one for about 20 minutes, cramps, gas, relief. Then without noticeable sensation changes, the next fart was liquid. The diaper was a life saver! I spent the next 20 minutes emptying, expecting to be repeating this for the next few hours.
That wasn't the case. I got up about 8am and had a small movement. Time then for the enemas!
I struggled taking the first so that terminated at less than one litre. The second was closer to 2 litres. By the 4th I was taking the full 3ltr bag and feeling comfortable. All these were with added baking soda.
So it was shower time, and I thought it was over. 🙄
As I write this I have been given a 'surprise' urge about 5 times. There's been maybe half a litre expelled each time. Presumably due to residual bisacodyl? I don't know. I think now it's all over... we'll see.
So curiosity sated. It wasn't a bad experience but it was also not a great one. Lets call it a 'bucket list' item. I enjoy my sleep too much these days to bother trying it again. So as the heading here asks... Ever taken a laxative for fun? I guess I have, although it wasn't exactly fun. 😂
