Hot Water Bottle Prep

A savvy nurse years ago recommended clutching a hot water bottle low down for about 15 minutes before starting an enema, especially helpful at that time of the month. Any others do this?

Since anticipation often enhances this simple pleasure and procedure, I have been known to fill a hot water bottle, commonly referred to as a combination syringe with the attachments, and hold it against my lower belly until the water is sufficiently cooled to administer the enema. Most often, I will insert the nozzle and enjoy the sensations until that magical time.

The last time I went for a colonic, a heating pad was used on my abdomen throughout the procedure. Since it was winter time, the warmth and pampering was quite welcomed.

Vicki.V, you're onto something quite enjoyable!

PS ... For safety, you should wrap the hot water bottle (or combination syringe) in a soft towel. I have found the warmth to be a relief in itself, not always needing an enema. The previous guest noted that his colon therapist used a heating pad. Mine also has done that. I believe she called it a fomentation pad that delivers a moist, deep therapeutic warmth. It's from a warmer, doesn't have wires. It felt heavenly!

When I take my coffee enemas I like to use my 2 quart combination hot water bag. I made a short (24 inches) section of hose and carry the bag to the comfort of my futon where I can lay back and relax. I like to lay the hot bag on my pelvis and let the heat soak into my abdomen and groin as I prepare the nozzle for insertion. The warmth on my penis feels heavenly.

When I start the water flowing, I'll leave the bag on my abdomen and lay my hands on top of it to create just a bit more pressure to get the water flowing. Sometimes I'll coil the latex hose around my genitals so I can feel the heat flowing through the hose.

This is sufficient for about half of the bag, at which time I'll lift the bag above my abdomen at whatever height produces the best relaxing flow rate. At the end, I lift the bag as high as i can to get the last bit of water out before clamping the hose shut. Very relaxing method for a comforting enema.

I have a white Rexall Victoria combination bottle that is very soft and more pliable than a red one of the same type. I always use it on my abdomen and "other" nearby places when taking an enema. It definitely adds to the pleasure.
