A glycerin enema does not have the volume of a soapsuds enema.
Some people swear by that lower volume, some swear AT it. It seems to be preference.
My few experiences with glycerine enemas is that they work FAST!
Last rel glycerin enema I took was as follows:
Got 2-6oz bottles of glycerin locally.
Got a couple of bottles of Powerade from the same store.
Did not eat dinner that afternoon.
Drank one of the bottles of Powerade in the evening, waited about an hour and washed the bottle out thoroughly, until I could no longer smell the Powerade.
I poured the two bottles of Glycerin in the Powerade bottle, and then poured in ONE Fleet Enema. Shook it up well, left it on the counter in the bathroom, drank plenty of water, and went to bed.
I was able to keep it out of my mind and sleep well. When I woke up, I was feeling almost too good for an enema, but I WAS prepped. Drank another stadium cup full of water, and had a pee.
Got out the little 2-qt modern style open-topped bag, and the plastic clothes hanger. I set the bed up for a Simms-position enema. Poured the glycerin-Fleet mixture in the bag, and hung the bag above the bed. Got in the Simms position, and inserted the tube, which was already starting to leak. I did the injection just like a normal ESS enema, but of course despite hanging lower, it went in a lot faster.
Fortunately my husband had the kids downstairs,and was doing breakfast. The dog wants to be whenre the food is. anything dropped is dog food.
I was really surprised. It barely got all in, and it started to feel ike a normal enema that was at the end of it's cycle. I went right for the bite rag. I was only able to just barely keep it 11 minutes, and there was a dribble on theway to the toilet.
No thought of a second enema. It was clear that it had taken out everything in the large bowel.
Pros: Only ONE round needed. Thorough!
Cons: So quick you really have to be ready. Low volume, so no sensation of fullness. Feels more like an oral laxative than an enema.
