Large Volume Enemas

I've taken four quarts a couple of times, and the position I'm in while receiving will determine how comfortable/uncomfortable four quarts is. But it sure makes my tummy feel better the next day.

I am 5'4" and about 116 pounds plus or minus a couple depending on holiday feasts and dieting before them. There is no way in the world I could ever take four quarts. Three is a lot for me. Usually it's 2 1/2 quarts. I had 3 1/2 quarts a couple of times and thought I was going to explode. That isn't what I want to do for a good time. Although making someone else do it can be be fun for me!

I have done 4 quarts about 4 times, and it's usually a belly buster. I've only done this when someone else was in control of the enema, so it's always something of a special occasion. 😃

It might be helpful if people would add gender, height and weight when they post to this thread. I suspect that people who can take 5, 6 or 7 quarts are larger than average. I consider myself an average male; I'm 5' 8" and weigh 180 lbs.

Wow! 4 qts sounds to me to be impossible. I have taken 2 qts while lying o the bathroom floor several times - a couple of times I have been able totake two qts while standing up and fighting to hold it in - a real challange but I really enjoyed it.

I was surprised to see a recent survey that indicated that less than 5 percent of respondents took four quart enemas. For me, filling up my KLYSTRA four quart bag to the brim with warm soapsuds and watching the last ounce of solution drain into my bottom through a deeply embedded colon tube is a regular turn on.

Everyone has a different capacity, but I believe that many who think they can't take four quarts might be able to do so, or get close, if they work up to it over time. You also have increased capacity after the first enema or two, when you are pretty well cleaned out.

Enemas in general are an "acquired taste" -- few people like their first enema, or understand the erotic potential. Same for "high" enemas.

Like many of the other people here, I can take 4 qts but it's very difficult. I am tall and skinny and my belly becomes very distended after 3 qts. I enjoy watching my belly expand as the water fills me up. If anyone wants to chat about 4 qt enemas, please call me.

From Oscar:

I take 4 quarts regularly and by adding 1 teaspoon per quart of water prevents any cramps.

You are right and it will prevent an imbalance in your electrolytes.

I used to give myself lots of enemas as a teenager (yes I was an ass pig as a teen) and one day I fainted when stepping out of the tub.

If you feel light-headed after an enema, that is the reason 😃

I enloy all aspects of the 4-qt enema...from the anticipation, prep, administration, retention, expel, and afterglow. I learned to take 4 qts many years ago and now throughly enjoy the "full" experience. I look great holding 4 qts with my very distended belly.

The most volume that I have ever taken so far in my life is 3 qts, but that was back in the late 80's. Now I only do 2 liters at a time, and that seems to be just perfect for a very nice and comfortable enema!

I always use a 4 quart Sherema bag for my enema sessions and always fill it to the brim which is about 4 1/2 quarts. Often I can't take the entire bag but I always try. On several occasions I have been able to take it all and one time I took a full 5 quarts. It is so exciting to take a huge enema.

I have tried larger a number of times-3 and 1/2 quarts is max I could hold. I wonder if those reports of over 4 quarts are just mistakes in measuring or for real. Could I get some more responses on larger and ill effects if any. Many thanks for any input.

This morning I did a 4 liter enema for the first one. I've been doing an enema a day for years now and still have my BM early in the am. So it wasn't neccessary to have a cleanout enema first. My 4 liters was 2 liters of coffee and 2 liters of water with soda. I use an inflatable enema nozel and 2 x 2 liter bags connected together. I start while standing to insert the nozel and start the flow. After the first part is in, I lay down on my back for about 2.5 liters worth. At this point the pressure is uncomfortable so I change to a hands and knee's position and continue the flow to take the 4 liters. I have taken as much as 5.5 liters in this position, but 4 feels comfortable. I hold it for an hour with the help of a large inflatable butt plug and a diaper. After the hour when I remove the plug I empty out in one large gush. It almost flushes the toilet and Afterwards I feel great.

Hi. I only joined this site a few days ago and I've found it very informative. The one thing that has already fascinated me is the volume of 'solution' that some people seem to have retained. I've been doing self enemas for a few years and the most liquid I've managed is just over 3 ltrs. I hadn't realised that volumes in excess of 1 gallon (4.5 ltrs) were even possible. What is it that allows some people to retain so much more solution than others? I'm quite happy with my volume but I'm just intrigued as to what allows others to hold such vast quantities of liquid.

Hi Prickless,

People are as different in this as in anything else. I have it on pretty good authority that you can get about two gallons into a cadaver's colon (only a medical researcher would try this!). But your colon belongs to you, and will tell you in no uncertain fashion that this is not on! Listen to your body.

That said, some of us have big frames and can take a lot of liquid. Some of us are from Texas,I believe! Some of us are old and have been practising for many years; and some of us aren't strictlty truthful about how much we can take. Some of us (I'm one) have an acquired megacolon-like condition that actually makes it hard to empty the colon without an enema. It's so floppy it just bulges some more when it's full. Without enemas we have trouble with blocked toilets.

But some of us have irritable colons that start complaining at just one litre; others are tiny people anyway, and just don't have much room in there!

The important thing is to have fun; to find out what turns you on and do that! By all means experiment (lots of advice here) but there is positively NO competition to see who can hold the most.

Who cares? I would rather take four 2Qt enemas than one 4Qt enema.

The thrill is in the fill and the expulsion not in the size of the fill.

How much Water?

Every individual has his or her own capacity, and it will change from one enema to the next. The cleanliness of the colon and the amount of gas present will have a great effect on the volume of water that can be taken. Medical researchers have determined that the average adult human colon has a capacity of 6 litres. I believe that this measurement may have been made using colons removed from cadavers, who wouldn't complain about the pressure. Do not try to fill you colon with this amount of water.

Fifty or so years ago, most adult patients receiving barium enemas were given 3.5 litres of the barium solution and made to hold it during the X-ray procedure. At the same time, the enema bags sold in drugstores held 2 or 3.5 litres, and many people felt that they could not be properly cleaned out unless they took the full bag.

You may want to experiment by taking the largest enema that is comfortable then rolling from side to side very slowly and seeing if the water runs downhill to distend the lower side more. You probably will find that the lower part of the colon will be noticeably more swollen, indicating that it is your abdomen that is unable to expand to allow the colon to accept any more fluid.

If you have been suffering with constipation for a long time your bowel is already stretched. But to eliminate the chance of stretching the bowel, most physicians strictly limit the amount of water used to 2.5 litres. I recommend a maximum of 1.5 litres administered slowly to lessen cramping. Less is more in this case! Often a amount of 500ml is sufficient.

Cheers, PatientCare

Everybody is different, is different than mine. I've taken four quarts just a few times in my life and it never got any easier. And I know that if I were to try today to take four quarts, it would be as uncomfortable and difficult as the first time. So, I believe -- at least for me -- that any stretching that occurs is temporary and that the colon soon returns to its usual size.

I know that's true of the anal sphincter, since I've been inserting large objects for years and have been fisted many times. The insertions have gotten easier with practice, but my anus always returns to its normal tightness.

It's possible that with continued attempts, it would become easier to take four quart enemas. But I haven't done that because of the initial discomfort of the few times I've done it. As they say, "YMMV". And remember, always play safely.

I have several times. I find I can take six quarts without problem. But if I push it past that (which I have tried many times), I end up with an upset stomach and have vomited on occasion because of it.

When I have, the fluid was brown color and had a weird taste. I understand that the rings in the intestines and colon are designed to only allow food and fluids to move one way. However, that is also without contents being under immense pressure at the other end (in other words, in normal conditions, it is moving from high pressure to low pressure. But with an enema, the pressure is reversed). Therefore, when the rings relax to push food farther down the intestine, the water under pressure will push the contents back up. To back this up, I have taken 8 quart salt water enemas that have caused me to throw up, and the fluid I have thrown up had a salty taste. I have heard the same from people who take large enemas.

Oh, Aquaman, given the right circumstances, I think it can happen. I have had the same experience as hardBinch about 4 or 5 times. The volume, the color, the taste of bile, the feeling of water suddenly escaping upward, and the fact of it being done on an empty stomach all point to reverse evacuation.

Unlike most people, this is an experience I'd actually relish. The routine involved being in a sexual mood to begin with and my intestines being 'very accepting' of enema action. I'd sit on the tub edge and fill myself using a strong stream of water from the shower hose (NOT inserted!). As I reached my tolerance limit, I'd take a short break and masturbate a bit. This relaxed the bowels to where they would accept more water, and so I'd quickly resume. At this point, 2 longings were satisfied: physically, as water wound its way up around my rib cage, there was a feeling of warmth and tickling almost like a kind of love; psychologically, it appealed to my sense of self control (male bulimic tendencies perhaps?).

There are, unfortunately, down sides to the experience; great dizziness from excess water for a little while, and the nausea which is horrific. But then there's the release from copious vomiting (sorry so graphic), and the body feels charged and alive! Obviously this is extreme and not for everybody, but for me it was a rush.

I speak of it in the past tense because, because of the Bauhin valve or whatever, I have in recent years been unable to tolerate much water past a certain point without GREAT discomfort, and so can't go 'all the way'.

Awhile back when I was selling potassium supplements to Dr.'s, one of our approaches was to inform them that the typical bag or bucket hosp. enema would result in an 80mEq loss in body potassium. And that enemas 'til clear would go way beyond that, resulting in extreme exhaustion and possible cardiac arrhythmia's, due to hypokalemia (potassium deficit). We were suggesting that any patient going through this should have oral potassium supplements administered.

I find that the black inflatable nozzle that you see advertised a lot, is ideal for taking large enemas as it does not easily come out as you let the flow go in. I can take 4 litres with ease like this and have a clamp that I turn off when I wish to stop , and retain my warm salt enema. I use 2 teaspoons of seasalt per litre and boil the water before bottling it in 2 litre plastic cordial bottles for future use. The salt is essential, I have been told, to help balance the electrolytes in your bloodstream. The boiling gets rid of any bacteria or chlorine in the water. Also I have heard of Lemonade enemas, but have never been game to try one. Maybe someone else would know if they are bad for you to take.

At 5'6" 132lbs I'm not particularly large, yet I can almost always take 4 quarts if I'm cleaned out first. Usually it's not even uncomfortable until the very last.

I suspect that by stretching my colon repeatedly and frequently before I was full grown I did indeed induce it to grow larger than it might otherwise have done. I have been into recreational enemas since well before puberty, and I used to struggle to take what I always called "biggies" back then. At 15 I still had trouble taking 4 quarts, but by 18 I could do as I do now, and pretty much take 4 any time I wish.

It's anecdotal, but it sure seems to me like I permanently stretched my colon.

When I was 18, I had a time of great stress. It only lasted perhaps 3 days, but it triggered something in my colon: I didn't shit for two weeks in spite of laxatives. I was away from home, living in single quarters on an isolated mine. I felt no discomfort at all, but became very worried. What the hell was happening to all the hearty meals I was eating?

Well, eventually I began to feel 'things moving.' But when the 'thing' reached my unstretched anus, it was much too big to get out. It was also as hard as Satan's heart, and its presenting end wasn't tapered at all, but felt like the end of a food can! It had a smooth face that sat just inside my sphincter. What now? After heaving and straining for over half an hour (and getting VERY sore) I realised that this was a no-win situation.

I swiped a tea spoon from the canteen, retired to the toilets once more and after an age, the monster obstruction again presented itself. I had to chip at it with the spoon, and in a further half hour, succeeded in getting about an inch off its four inch diameter end. By then I had the beginnings of some really doozy piles and was very sore. there had to be some way to soften and/or lubricate things!

Next move was in the bathroom at my quarters. These were communal bathrooms: the tubs were out in the open. But I waited for the weekend when most of the guys had gone away, and then, late at night, I got into one of the tubs. with a little water in it, I scooted on my back until I could get my anus jasmmed up against the cold tap (faucet). Being young and lithe, it wasn't a problem to turn on the water and get an enema. I took as much as I dared. If anyone had approached, of course, it would have been easy to slip back into the water; though a little more difficult to hide the erection I always get from an enema! But no one came. I still had the tea spoon, and in spite of holding the water for quite a while, I still needed it. That night I got another two inches off the log! How long was it? I had no idea; and I also had an extremely painful arsehole.

In all, it took four sessions to remove what must have been a cylinder at least eight inches long and about four in diameter. I had puiles for years afterwards. But the episode left me in no doubt that the colon is a highly elastic affair, and can hold things far bigger than will fit through the anus!

Today I can take a six litre enema without trouble, and after a good clean out, seven and a half. Did I stretch? Maybe; but the evidence of all those years ago suggests that my capacity was always pretty big.

With regard to the previous post, it might be possible to reinforce the bag by adding a small metal ring (known in the trade as a grommet); they are available at most hardware stores. A little rubber cement applied on top of that .... before any strain is put on the bag .... might also help.

Of course, everyone is different. That means that there is

no standard for a "large" volume. However, filling your

colon to the point where it is painful with four or more

quarts per enema could lead to the megacolon condition.

An enema should be a pleasant experience. When it becomes too

painful, you may be entering the danger (Twilight?) zone.

Also, to satisfy yourself that you are taking your enemas

safely, consult with your physician.

Enjoy your enemas but do them safely. An enema a day keeps

the doctor away!

My partner regularly enjoys 3.5 quart enemas, but he has taken 4 in the past. I believe that he's been able to do that with the assistance of a former enemate. I'd enjoy trying to ply him with that much solution, perhaps I'll put it on the list for the next time we play.

Not being a big enema fan (pun intended), a quart is about my limit!

Play On!

I love a good four quart enema from my Olympic bag. Since I have been on the enema road for almost 40 years, the pipes are clearly stretched out. Of course, I need a few bags before to get the path clear but once it is, look out. Haven't gotten to 5qts....yet....

Like the old cliche, How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Practice...

For me volume varies. Some times I can take 3 qts. other times I have a hard time holding 1 qt.

There are a few things you have to worry about with such activities: hernias, core muscle cramping (abs etc.) with possible associated tears and also damage to internal mucosa. Use caution and don't overdo it!

I had a girlfriend who explained the feeling of a very large volume was like a continual orgasm and took two enemas a day. She got to the point where her evening enema was a full 2 gallons... It looked slightly like a lopsided pregnancy and she could hold it for 15 min or more.
