Removing an inflatable nozzle

Hello everyone. I've used inflatable nozzles of various sorts on several occasions. One was a double balloon rectal catheter, and the other is a larger inflatable plug with a hollow tube through the middle to allow the water through.

One thing I haven't quite figured out yet is how to effectively deflate and remove the nozzle without making a big mess. When I use a standard hard-plastic nozzle, I can easily slip it out and clench my anus to keep everything inside until I'm ready to expel. But the larger inflatable nozzles aren't as easy as that. Even deflated, they are a lot larger, and so I can't readily clench around them as much.

With a colon full of water and a nozzle that won't slide out easily, I end up getting anxious, and so can't focus as much on retaining my enema. I end up disconnecting the nozzle from the tube and just letting the water drain out of me while the nozzle is still inside. Once most of it is out, I can remove it. This works, but it's pretty messy and a lot of extra hassle.

Does anyone experience the same issue? Do you have any tips on removing an inflatable nozzle?

Thanks!

Remove it while sitting on the toilet.

Only way is to remove it while on the toilet. For a bigger mess try re-insertion when you are not empty.

Switchablesusie has it right. The whole purpose of the inflatable balloon nozzle is to keep everything 'nice & tidy' until it is deflated and removed. That (usually) means that a quick trip to the toilet under 'duress', can be accomplished safely - so why not take advantage of that? Pretty dramatic when you pull it out....but that's part of the fun!

You may remember the barium enema scene from THE RIGHT STUFF.

The shower or bathtub is another alternative. It's gonna get a little messy back there, no matter what. The shower or bathtub is an easy way to clean off any "residual material" after removal. 😃

I am now told that, when my Mother used them, the approach was to sit down on the toilet first, then deflate the INSIDE balloon, and let nature take it's course.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

I love to use double balloon nozzles and what I do is leave it inflated until I am over the toilet, deflate the balloon, and slip the nozzle out!!!

The best way that I have found is to be over the toilet before deflating EITHER balloon. Sometimes even if the outside balloon is deflated it can cause a leak since the inside balloon is no longer forced back against the sphincter from the inside. That is also why I think single balloon nozzles don't seal all that well. They don't seal against the sphincter so they would have to be blown up big enough to fill the entire rectum. I would like it since it puts pressure against my prostate, but it could be uncomfortable for some.

I agree....deflate the balloons after you are over the toilet to avoid a problem. For me, after I am over the toilet, I deflate the inner balloon first and the nozzle will start to slide out as I delate the outter nozzle.

I have come to use my double inflatable nozzle more often to prevent leaks and usually will crouch over the side of the bathtub to remove the nozzle. After the residual leaking stops from removing the nozzle, I can quickly move over to the toilet to let out the rest of my enema. Then cleanup in the bathtub is easy.

I agree with Susie, sitting on the toilet. Whenever I use an inflatable, I tend to take a larger volume of water than normally, thus to prevent making a real mess all over the place, I will nor deflate until I am seated comfortable on the toilet, then I release the balloon very slowly so as to give the sphincter time to adjust to retaining my water until I am fully ready to release, then wooooooshhhhhhh ! ! !

That is also why I think single balloon nozzles don't seal all that well. They don't seal against the sphincter so they would have to be blown up big enough to fill the entire rectum. I would like it since it puts pressure against my prostate, but it could be uncomfortable for some.

Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of double balloon nozzles, as well. But, I have had and currently have single balloon nozzles that are quite effective in preventing leakage. I really like the softer feel of latex balloon nozzles versus the more now more pervasive silicone models. Deflation of the nozzle is definitely something that should be done where messes can be dealt with easily, such as the toilet, shower or bathtub. I prefer to take my enemas comfortably lying in bed and use a protective bad in case of an "accident". Most often it is the result of a leaking connection rather than leakage past the nozzle.
