Is it possible to increase capacity?

It would seem the cautions posted by Susie are worth noting. Let's face it. Most of us are doing enemas because they bring physical and or erotic enjoyment. If you want to increase your capacity, I would go slow and be reasonable about your playtime so you don't harm or change your colon so it doesn't function normally. I would experiment in how you do enemas and work up in capacity. Many members here have taken up to 4 quarts safely and maybe that should be reasonable goal. It's always best to listen to your body and not go beyond what it is capable of doing. You can still have great enema enjoyment playing within the safe boundaries.

Found out recently that my Mom believed she could temporarily increase her capacity by doing a series of stretching and twisting exercises right before getting into position.

I have no Idea if it actually worked, Dad is the only living witness to it and he didn't think it did. He thought it might have value in helping her relax, but was otherwise a waste of time.

That said, I think she was sincere in her belief that it at least temporarily did increase her capacity.

Did it?

Is there another, better way? Having not seen it I don't know.

Unfortunately...you can increase your capacity right into the emergency room.

When you do reach and EXCEED your capacity the rupture of a diverticula or weak spot in your colon wall, your Medfet desires become reality, so for you, a life choice win.

I think all my playing around with pushing myself to take very large enemas (4qts) might have cause my getting a hernia.

Start slow and with larger nozzles ( I'm waiting for my new SN ) you can increase your capacity and eventually be able to take 4 quarts. Just have fun..

Definitely go slow to increase capacity. I discovered that going too fast would cause the colon to contract. Slow however would give it time to relax. I was able to go from 3 to 4 liters through this way. Again, listen to your body and stop if you have to.

Lisa and I credit years of enemas to our current 4 qt capacity. Lisa has frequently done 5 qys.

One thing that has not been mentioned here is how the body gets acclimated to things. If you get accustom to taking enemas on a regular basis and then very slowly increase the volume I don't see why these extremely large volume enemas can not be achieved. Why you would want to do this seems to be a personal issue. Everyone has there own limits and what feels good to them. Becoming accustom to regular enemas is the only way to determine if they are of value to you. After that, volume limits, as long as they are increased very slowly, over lots of time, and many enemas, seems to be unlimited.

Maybe just terminology vs physiology and anatomy, but I doubt it's really increased capacity. Before Zity in about 1967-2014, I took 2.5 quarts max for decades and loved it, I was always curious and interested in how bigger volumes would feel, and just as a thought experiment felt that 4 quarts was almost unimaginable. After reading Zity from 2014, I gradually worked up to 4 quarts and once even 5 with great enjoyment and eroticism. I think I just increased my adjustment to the feelings of fullness and maybe embarrassment, but I doubt my anatomy ever changed.

Okay, here's what I found; what increases is your tolerance, not the actual size of your rectum/colon. They just get used to being stretched out more by a large enema, but then return to their original size.

30 years ago or so, 4 quarts was easy for me. I gradually got to 6 quarts over the span of a few months. So I believe you can increase your capacity, but I throw this caution in. If it hurts in any way, stop the flow, expell the water. A trip to the ER is not what you want.

I was able to take 6 quarts all the time, now 30 years later, that is not possible for me. I am 78 and I can get 2 quarts and now and then 3 quarts in me, if I am cleaned out really good. Other than that, it is 2 quarts and then some, but 4 quarts, not done that in a long time.4 quarts used to be a starting point. Once I flused myself out, 4 quarts was easy, then on to 6 quarts. Now, 2 quarts if about normal.

Hi all, I've been taking 4qt enemas as the final fill of a weekend series for over 30 years. When I was in my late 30's I slowly increased my capacity from 3qts to 4. It was during this time that I discovered the great feeling of taking an enema series over a weekend. On one such weekend after taking a 3qt green tea enema, i definitely did not feel full so I re-filled the bag. Another qt or perhaps a bit more went in quite easily. From that point on I got a 4 liter bag and used it often striving for a complete fill on the final fill of a series. Because of family history I go for a colonoscopy every 3 years, I've had quite a few and have never once taken the meds - I really enjoy watching. During my last one the doc noted that my transverse colon was larger than normal but nothing to be concerned about. I did ask if it was mega-colon and he replied that it was not that big. He also said that mega-colon often involves the ascending colon and that mine looked normal.

Some time back i was sent to hospital for a barium enema,heard people say how horrible it can be, but i found it no bother at all, thing is, they gave me the bagfull of solution, but found it wasnt enough, so had to go get another bagfull. Nothing was said really, but im assuming that after around 50 years of enemas, that my colon or whatever is capable of expanding, i often get very constipated , and the poop right inside my anus is bigger than my hole, and needs an enema of a lump of soap to make things work.

I think that it is possible to increase capacity - in a way - by using stretch ind twisting movements which aid the water to spread throughoutt th colon, i.e. to the right side.

The colon is a muscle and just like a gymnast stretching their muscles to do the splits, you can stretch the colon muscle to relax and expand. Just don't do it too fast!

I could not agree more. The more you try the better you get. I think everyone could take 4 quarts if they slowly work there way up to it. I'm guessing this is why getting use to them, and taking on a regular schedule was important years ago.
