Enemas to alleviate Menstrual Cramps

I used to give my wife small enemas at period time because she had cramps and she insisted she was constipated. I think they were just menstrual cramps. She wouldn't allow a bag so I reused a fleet bottle and gave her a squirt or two of warm water. I think anything warm helps,even a heating pad or hot water bottle ( without the attachments darn! ) but who was I to argue.

I know I've said this many times in chat and a few times in comments… That how enemas started for me. ( I was brought up by my grandparents ) When I turned 14 my grandma said that to alleviate menstrual cramps a lady should take an enema on the 2nd day of her cycle. To put me at ease with the process she demonstrated on herself first taking a 2qt salt water enema from an open top bag. After seeing how she enjoyed it I couldn't wait to try one. I took in the whole 2qt bag with very little cramping - gram was very pleased at this. I enjoyed the experience right away. Grandma suggested I take one on the 2nd day of my cycle or whenever I felt the need. I made the sexual connection about the third time I took one.

Even to this day I do occasionally hear of women using enemas during mensuration. The local gym I belong to has women of all ages and many are open to alternative health practices.

Heating pads, hot water bottles, hot baths, warm water enemas, laxatives, exercise, hydration, intense orgasms -- they've all been "practiced" through the years, among three active females in my family. We've done them all at one time or another, added ibuprofen type meds if necessary, although sparingly. On occasion, my husband has endured all three of us at once. On this Father's Day, we think he's the best dad in the world!!

Vicki: While we don't have any children, my good friend and golfing buddy and his wife have two daughters. He did tell me that on occasion all three will be on their period at the same time. If that isn't bad enough a couple of years ago that happened when they were doing a road trip and it was anything but fun.

I've been told that females in a household will synchronize their periods. Don't know if it's true but sounds like a nightmare if you're the only guy.

Many years ago when my daughter was a teenager there were a couple of months over the course of several years when she and I would be on our periods at the same time. My husband was smart enough to make himself scarce for a couple of days.

This is sexist!!!! We guys can't use cramps as an excuse for ….oops, I guess I don't wanna; go there, huh?

I'm crabby all the time!

I had five daughter's, 🤪 my x couldn't make a boy to save his life! We would occasionally sync up and yes it was an absolute nightmare. Drama bombs, screaming, tears, fist fights you name it. I should have bought stock in Tampax that's for sure. I assume living with us is the reason his hair went white at 35.

I think discovering how a warm enema relieved menstrual cramps was my “ah ha” moment. I was plagued with cramps and anything that would provide relief was welcome. One of my girlfriends introduced me to enemas as just that relief I was looking for. And as they say, the rest is history!

PS. And, yes, that is the way I introduced hubby to enemas.

I am pretty sure I was quite selfish when I tried to convince my SO that enemas were a legitimate treatment during those periodic episodes. It sure didn't work.

It does make one wonder if those same treatments might help control hot flashes, bloating, and other symptoms for those who are post-menopausel?

Your husband had menstrual cramps?

I heard my mother tell my sister that a warm enema may help her period cramps. I was fortunate to not cramp as bad as some, but I did not let that stop me. My mother knew I gave myself occasional enemas but I tried to not let on as to just how often I did it just because I liked it. So, around period time I remembered what she told my sister and I gave myself several enemas, just because I wanted to. One time mom asked me if they helped. Even though I didn't notice significant differences, period time or not, I told her “I think they help.” It was like a free pass to give myself an enema with no more questions asked.

LOL, @Moppys_jalopy , I can see why you asked the question! Probably not my best piece of writing. Hubby got introduced to enemas because after we were married a couple of weeks, the dreaded period started…and I used warm enemas to provide some much needed relief. Those were the first enemas he had ever seen. Secretly, I think he was fascinated!

Moppy: I'm pretty sure that my husband never got menstrual cramps, but if I can be some judge of his behavior there were times when I have been convinced that he was having that time of the month. When he used to be cranky it might go on for a couple of days plus there was never any obvious reason why he was.

Maybe he was getting feedback from you at that time of the month. Seriously though while I am well aware and have had my ass chewed for nothing more than being alive at that time of the month I can't claim I am much better. I run a business and there is always something going on that seems to put me in a bad mood. I just need a bottom over my knee for some stress relief. This pandemic has raised hell in more ways than one but hopefully that will end soon!

That’s funny you say that about your husband, my wife said the same thing about me, many years ago. She had issues with period cramps and used enemas for relief, as did my girlfriend from High School. Both girls, years apart from one another, found that when I got grouchy, the best course of action was to give me a couple of enemas. They both knew of course, once I’d taken a couple of enemas, it was their turn to receive a couple of enemas.
