Fleet ads on tv

Has anyone else seen the ads for Fleet Enemas on TV recently? Saw them last evening on the Hallmark Channel on Cable.

Google it and there it is.How times have changed.

I saw a Fleet enema commercial on MSNBC tonight about 7:15 pm. They were talking about the ease of using the lubed nozzle.

With the opioid situation becoming what it's becoming, maybe Fleet sees an opportunity

Too bad Klystra is out of business; or they could start advertising their large bags and tubes to help with the opioid problem as an 'alternative way to deal with it, that works'.

With the opioid situation becoming what it's becoming, maybe Fleet sees an opportunity

... or the IBS situation, or the general not-eating-right-so-the-bowels-don't-work-properly situation. There's a lot of stuff going on now that can mess up people's bowels, and if someone can make a buck they'll probably try.

Trust me as someone who has PIC, A single enema doesn't do much it needed to be combined with something like Movantik & Lactulose, ther wise you will be weekings behing you should be, managing oic is as much art as siences.

Since when have accuracy and honesty been the prime concerns (or anywhere up near the top) of advertising?

A single enema doesn't do much for IBS-C either. I guess it would work for some types of simple constipation.

The opioid epidemic in this country is out of control. I’m not personally familiar with using them myself, either prescription or illicit, but I’ve seen to many lives ruined and lost by this problem. Hopefully pharmaceutical companies are working to help with the problem rather than try to profit from it, but @moliere makes an interesting observation. I’ve never seen Fleet enemas advertised on tv, I wouldn’t think they’d need to. But I have seen a medication advertised for people who suffer with constipation due to the medication they use to manage chronic pain. I’m fortunate enough not to have any pain problems, so the name of the medication didn’t register with me.

Sorry. I got off the topic some above. Really the only place I’ve seen Fleet enemas advertised is in medical trade magazines that I’ve picked up while sitting in a Drs waiting room.

Fleets are good for the routine rectal/ sigmoid cleaning that is needed for medical procedures in most Dr.'s offices & hospitals. However, people with things like IBS-C, or mega colon need much more volume to get relief.

Pain control physicians and drug companies are being blamed for flooding the market with opioid drugs. The real culprit here is the Mexican drug cartel pushing brown heroin into the U.S. The other problem is so many people wanting to change the way they feel via opioids. If you go to an ER today needing pain relief, you're likely to get Rx strength Motrin, or other NSAIDS. In Ohio the state pharmacy board passed a law that they will not dispense more than 7 days of an opioid. Dr.'s are afraid to Rx opioids for fear that the DEA will come to examine their records. This leaves many patients who truly need the pain relief that opioids give, having to get by with NSAIDS and are still in true pain.

When I was in college we had a girl in the sorority house that was always doing ads for products. She did an ad for Kaopectate. On a black background, was a pink Kaopectate in large letters. Below was the phrase in smaller letters. "Get It Together."

I is nice to see this come out of the closet! Who knows, maybe the Golden Age of Enemas may return!

Are there seriously enema commercials on TV? ??

Link?

A simple Google search for "Fleet enema TV ad" took me to the commercial. It was a short ad but was clearly a pitch for Fleet enemas. In my lifetime, it is the first TV ad I have ever seen for enemas. There have been a grundle of ads relative to digestive issues and health lately. OIC is more prevalent. It seems that Fleet has seized on the push to resolve constipation with their products.

That is not good! ??

Been seeing 2 or 3 a day all this past week

Yes, I have seen the Fleet Enema ads on the Hallmark Channels for the last couple of months, some in prime time viewing. I must say it is the first TV ad I have ever seen for enemas. Now if someone would just start advertising enema bags and rubber bulb type enema syringes on TV... I have noticed a slightly larger collection of enema syringes at my local CVS Pharmacy the last few months.

I have not seen the fleet ones but I did see a dulcolax one that said suppositories for quick relief on Monday night football

I've been seeing ads for the small enema shots that replace the standard suppository. I think they're made by Fleets, but not a 100% sure. Don't recall what channels, but they're mainstream, and not some obscure channel.

There are ads for several enema products on broadcast TV in Australia.

I've seen the recent Fleet Enema commercial on some of the cable channels. Its the first enema ad I've seen on TV since back in the late 80s or early 90s when there were running ads for a disposable enema call Nature's Way. I had never heard of it, before or since, and its existence was apparently short-lived. But now all we need is for Fleet to hire some celebrity spokespersons like actors and actresses to appear in the commercials.

That is interesting. I haven't seen these recent ads, but I don't watch a lot of TV with commercial ads.

I do remember the Fleet ads from when I was a kid, in the 70's and 80's. That was also when ads for disposable douches were also on TV, much more frequently.

Maybe more tens will get enemas now

On Youtube I found this funny Fleet Glycerin suppo commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Se384cnbCc

I'd be curious to see other American TV commercials.

I have not seen ads on television for enemas, but Dulcolax advertises rather aggressively for their tablets and suppositories.

In the 1963 and 64 time window, Fleet advertised enemas on the rear most pages of Reader's Digest. It was typically a 1/8 page ad or similar and showed a cartoon drawing of a naked child running from the enema monster. The enema monster was a combo bag with legs, arms and hands with one hand wielding the hose and nozzle. It was captioned to the effect not to let the enema monster scare your child.

I doubt there has ever been a kid that did not arrive in life automatically conditioned to dread the insertion more than any other part.

Here a promo for Fleet Naturals

ROTFLMAO

At one minute and 42 seconds, they could never afford to run that on any network TV and I sincerely doubt the network censors except maybe TBS would even allow that to run.

I wonder where that was ever broadcast besides on youtube. ???

This wasns't a real commercial.. still, it's quite funny.
