How do you adjust the pressure for a shower enema

Set this aside for a minute.

When you fall off your motorcycle, have a stroke, a heart attack or are in organ failure, pray that switchablesue is the ER nurse.

You will need someone who knows the diff between blood flow and blood pressure. Many docs get it wrong. So hope switch is there to save your bacon.......even if you refuse to follow her sound advice on showers.

And the explanation about the balloon is dead right too.

Valves limit flow. They do not limit pressure when the flow encounters the resistance of a full gut. If you use a shower driven enema, be ready to yank out the nozzle fast....that is your safety route.

Blitheben, thank you for your comments.

For all you guys who want a SAFE, PRESSURE CONTROLLED shower enema, I found the post I made five and a half years ago on how to make one with simple easily available and inexpensive parts.

OK, here is the solution for all you naysayers and pressure worriers for the shower shot type enemas.

People who needlessly worry about plumbing and water contamination still won't be satisfied.

You will need a little mechanical know-how.

The concept is to have a "pressure relief" for water if the pressure inside the colon gets too high.

You will need three hoses and connectors. I like half inch tubing and Y connectors. The tube lengths will vary depending on your needs.

The first hose is connected to your shower head (or from a separate shower hose valve coming from your wall plumbing).

Let that hose from the shower head fall to the floor level in the tub or shower stall.

To that hose, connect a "Y" connector and leave it on the floor.

The second hose is connected to the "Y" and the end of the hose is held up to whatever height you might hang your bag if you were standing in the shower -3-4-5 feet, whatever you like.

Unless you want to hold that hose, tie it to something.

The third hose is also connected to the "Y" and goes to your nozzle, whatever you want to use.

Water should flow freely from the first hose into the "Y" and then into hose #2 and hose #3 at the same time. That's how the pressure relief works.

Now you can set the water just about any way you want, and when the pressure inside your colon is higher than the pressure in the second hose, water will spray out the top of the second hose as a colonic pressure relief.

You can test how it works by holding your finger over the end of the tube that goes up your butt, when you do that, the water will come out the "relief hose" at a pressure determined by how high you hang the outlet/end of that hose.

There you go!

Susie, thank you for your wonderful explanation about the safe use of pressurized water in your enemas. If we follow her suggestions, we should have no fear of blowing out a colon.

I don't like shower enemas... too porn movie like: not erotic at all and potentiallly dangerous.

Did you read and UNDERSTAND my pressure relief device? Jimmy obviously got the idea.

It has zero moving parts and is completely safe.

Susie's pressure control setup looks ideal. The thing that I have against any shower water tube is that you have absolutely no idea of how much water you have put in yourself. I realize that this can be a good thing because you can fill yourself until you feel your desired feeling of fullness, or discomfort, or whatever criterion you use for enough. But somehow, I would like to know if it is 2, 3, 4, etc. quarts that are in me.

^^^^ That is true. The volume of water is relatively unknown, but the pressure is completely controlled and limited.

Using Susie's pressure control system works great and to get a relative fairy accurate quantity of how much I have taken I fill a measured container with this system at the flow rate I will be using and time how many seconds it takes to fill a quart or gallon and just count the second using the 1000-1 1000-2 method. It works great! I'm well attuned to my own sensations of fullness and do not push the envelope while taking enemas this way.

I just hang my enema bag rather low on the IV stand, and let the enema flow in slowly.

This one is fun, needs a little trial/learning curve, and gives total control:

Using 20 to 30 inches of stiff 1/2 inch tubing works best.

Then for a kicker try this little trick:

Some bath tub/shower setups use a stopper in the end of the bath fill spout. You pull up on the stopper on the end of the fill spout and water is forced up to the shower, which is 4.5 feet higher, maybe and you happily enjoy your shower, OK. But now with a much cooler stream and the stopper down to the fill position, work an inch or so of your enema hose up into one corner of the fill spout, past the little stopper. All the hotels are set up like this. Then when you wrap your hand around the end of the fill spout and your hose, as if milking a cow in reverse, you force water up the shower pipe. Oh My!

There is much to discover here, so i leave the rest up to you.

However, in my experience,

the shower head never really sprays, rarely even dripps, nor does the fill spout ever stop flowing.
