Blow-out!

I had a new experience the other day when an inflated Rüsch double-balloon nozzle burst inside me. I had noticed the latex was degrading, but since it wasn’t tacky and disgusting I just went on using it, rinsing it thoroughly each time. Until the other day, when about three minutes into a planned ten-minute retention it decided enough was enough. The escaping air blew the nozzle out of me, and seemed to push the enema solution further into me—I had been cramping, but now had no further urge to expel for a little while. I examined the nozzle and found the balloon had a ragged tear. Fortunately I had a spare.

Later I looked up when I bought the nozzle: about three years ago. It saw service around twice a week during that time.

Had similar experience with an EZM disposable single inflatable nozzle. If cared for they will give a hundred usings. Since they are made of silicone, Vaseline doesn't bother them. I had a well used one pop inside me; no big deal, not that much air in the balloon. The part that does often break down is the "cuffalator" used to inflate the nozzle. These seem to crack at the borders and won't inflate the balloon. For every internal nozzle, I buy about 3 cuffs to inflate them. All are inexpensive available at Optimal Health Network and work for me. I would like to try the double balloon Rusch nozzles, since each balloon holds 250cc of air, just to see what a 'double" feels like. Being on fixed income, I have to watch my pennies.. When I was a district sales manager, making over 100k a year, I should have invested in a Rusch and a "B'dex" knock off.
