Double Balloon Retention Safety

I love my double balloon nozzle. It's provided me with many leak free enemas that just wouldn't be possible without it. However, I wondered, does there become a point where it could be dangerous?

I recently did a strong soap enema and eventually had cramps so strong that I just had to release, even though the double balloon was in no danger of leaking.

Did I simply wimp out and I'd have actually been fine to just ride outside he cramps? Or did I save myself from some actual harm?

I realise this would be different for enemas that create gas in order to stimulate cramping. I'm more interested in knowing the safety aspects where irritation is the main reason for cramps.

You can have cramps and need to expel for various reasons.

For example, if you are using milk and molasses, you could just be a wimp for not retaining it. If you are using a solution that is very irritating and you are simply retaining it for your own entertainment, you should release it. I doubt you did any harm, but you could have irritated your colon to a point where it could be sore for a few days. You might even notice some bleeding if irritated enough.

Another time you MUST ABSOLUTELY NOT USE a balloon catheter is with an alcoholic enema. If you used enough alcohol to get beyond a buzz and you fell asleep or worse, passed out, the balloon catheter would force you to keep retaining it and your blood alcohol could get dangerously or fatally high. If you used an ordinary colon tube or nozzle, your anus would relax and you would just expel it in your drunken stupor.

Also NOT RECOMMENDED to use a balloon catheter with a pump driven air enema unless you want to risk your colon popping like a balloon.

A couple of time using a couple balloon retention nozzle with a lot of Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap in the solution the pressure in my colon has been so great that it popped the balloon out of my colon. This was with a latex one with the smaller balloons. It really surprised me that it would pop out like that.

Thanks for the feedback. I do like cramps but don't want to damage myself. Is there a point at which I know I shouldn't try and hold a soap solution any more? I've never heard about a solution like that causing damage through long retention but I'm happy to be educated.

This surprises me. I was always under the impression m and m caused cramps because it created gas in the bowels. Would this not be similar to an air enema and therefore to hold it with a double balloon could be asking for trouble? Obviously would never use mechanically pressurised anything (air or water) beyond the normal head created by an enema bag.

I've never managed to expel a double balloon but reckon I've come quite close. I've also had cramps so ba it actually felt like the nozzle would have been sucked inside me were it not for the external balloon!

As for alcohol enemas - never tried them and have zero interest in it. If I'm going to get drunk I want to enjoy drinking my alcohol. Wise words though.
