How much soap

I do not like to use soap under normal circumstances. I find it irritating to my system and hard to retain on occasion. I have used castile and Ivory. I have found a soap from a colonic therapist in Madison, Wisconsin. it is made from goat milk and has some essential oils in the soap. It is not as irritating as long as you do not make the water milky white and overdo it. But, still this is only on a rare occasion. When I need an enema I use baking soda.

I use 1 oz of j&j baby shampoo it has now become my favorite,it is gentle easy to take in and expels smoothly and very nice bubbles.

I only use soap when the goal is to clean me out and that is not why I take most of my enemas.

I never got Ivory enemas as a kid and trying it as an adult I found it quite irritating. Sometimes I use the little castile soap packets which says to use with one quart of water. That is too strong for me but the packet in two quarts is just about right. I also like J&J baby shampoo. I don't measure, just a small squirt from the bottle in two quarts works fine. I am not into the heavy cramping and things and much prefer to hold my enema while doing other things without having to run to the toilet right away.

I don't use soap very often, but when I do it's Ivory. I put a couple of qts. of warm water in a jug, then swish the soap bar in my hands until the water is a little cloudy. Pour it into the bag and try to relax during the fill. The release is nice and slippery. It is irritating so I always follow that with a clear rinse.

"I read somewhere on the recipe area to use 1 tablespoon Dr. Bronners to a quart." Yes this is what a lot of site recommend, but I think this was from years gone by when people took enemas all the time aand had gotten use to them. I use soap regularly. If I don't the enema gets stuck in me. I've figured that one TEASPOON, (not tablespoon), per quart, works best for me, for the first enemas. Each following enema I use Ivory bar soap.

I stir an Ivory bar in warm water to make a cloudy, slightly frothy solution.

I use Kirk's Castile bar soap, in a pint measuring cup with warm water. I rub soap off the bar with my hand until the water is white and there is a film of soap and soap bubbles on top of the water. I add another couple of pints of clear water into the bag after I put in the soapy water. I take about 3 pints of the solution and if I do another enema I use just plain warm water.

My wife used full strength (2Tbs in 2Qts) Bronner's peppermint soap when she cleaned me out after I had COVID. I had started eating again for a few days, but not pooping, which got her concerned. In short, she stuck 5 inches of 30Fr rubber tube up my butt and opened the flood gate from that clear hospital kit. It was a little too warm and uncomfortable, but she got things moving….in a big way. I'm glad she's a nurse and took care of this for me at home. I'd hated to have nurses at the hospital do it.

I make my own Ivory soap “starter”, by shaving a bar into a 1 pint container until the bottom is covered to about a little less than ¼". I add enough hot water to bring up to ⅔ full and stir until the soap is dissolved. I let it it sit for a bit and then top off the container with hot water. I let it sit overnight, and the next day the mix is pudding thick. I stir it up good until it's more like syrup. I'll use ⅓ of that in a 3 quart bag or less for smaller bags (I do like mine strong).

With Johnson's Baby Shampoo, it's about 1 ½ tablespoons per quart of water. The Medline Castile Enema soap packets, I usually only use 1 for the 1 ½ quart bags, and 2 or maybe 3 in the 3 quart bag.

Let's just say, that this is not for the faint of heart…

When it comes to soap, “the more the merrier”. I use a lot and never had a problem.

I looked up a couple of ‘official’ recipes in books that I have on my shelves.

In the old home nursing handbook in which I first read about enemas at 15 or 16 the recipe for a soap and water enema is given as 2½ [imperial] pints of warm water with 1 ounce of ‘thinly sliced yellow soap’ (probably meaning plain laundry soap) thoroughly stirred in. That is equivalent to about 20g of soap to 1 litre of water and it was the recipe I used for my first, self-administered, enemas.

Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary (26th ed.) defines a soap suds enema as ‘an enema made by dissolving 2 oz. of soap in a pint of warm water’. I am sure this is an error, for such a solution could hardly be prepared. If the numbers are reversed—1 oz. of soap in 2 [US] pints of water—it is equivalent to about 30g of soap to a litre of water.

Both recipes refer to hard soap, of course.

Each enema of my childhood, regardless of whether it was therapeutically necessary or given as an educational measure, always consisted of three individual enemas of the same capacity. The first of the three was always a more or less strong curd soap enema, followed by two of clear water.

The curd soap was just a horror for me and for my colon. The soap quickly set off violent spasms and my ass burned like fire.

Ever since I discovered the enema fetish in my twenties, my colon was only allowed to taste plain water with salt or tea blends.

Lately I've been craving some soap enemas, just with a different soap than before. That's how I discovered the OHN Goat Milk Enema Soaps.

After more than 50 years, a soap solution flowed through my anus again. The soaps are gentle and soft, can be held and generate a really good feeling of enemas.

We put a piece of soap directly into a container with water for about 1 to 2 minutes and move it from time to time. I think I'll get addicted in my old age...

My childhood started with soap enemas, and ends with it in my last days...🤔🤗😎

Growing up my mom had a bar of Ivory that was kept in its own plastic soap dish in the llnen closet. The only time it ever came out was when she had to make someone an enema. She would only use enough to make the solution mildly milky which is to say that she did not overdo it. Between one and two quarts of that warm solution from our tried and true combination syringe and after holding it for several minutes it never failed to give a satisfactory cleaning out.

One teaspoon of Dr Bronner’s plain soap per (US) quart. I used to use their peppermint soap, but after not finding it locally I switched to the plain.

I recently tried Walmart’s house brand peppermint soap (“Now thicker formula”) and found it to be too irritating for enemas. It will become refills for hand soap pumps in the house.

Mom used Ivory soap whenever she gave my siblings and I enemas. Her soapy enemas were generally mild, though occasionally, she overdid it and we ended up getting a strong soapy enema. After the soapy enema, mom always gave us a salt and baking soda rinse enema, sometimes two. As we got older, the amount of solution she gave us increased. When I was seven my brother and I got a quart and our sister a little less. By age ten, mom gave my brother and I a full two quart bag, that we easily took. Our sister on the other hand, was given the same amount, but she wasn’t expected to take it all like my brother and I. The funny thing was, our sister took the full bag most times as well. And she was two years younger than me and a year younger than my brother.

I like to use Medline Castile Enema soap packets, I usually use 1 for the 1 ½ quart bag.

The amount of natural soap (!) in the enema fluid should be measured in such a manner that the water should be cloudy, but not opaque.

My mom had a Mason jar under the bathroom sink with water and scrap bits of Ivory soap. Over time this would become a syrupy mix. Come enema time, some of the goop from that jar was added to the warm water in the enema bag. More water would be added to the jar. Then as bars of soap around the house (Ivory) would get too small for hand washing, they would go into that Mason jar. Similar to a sourdough starter. Mom never measured the goop, she just 'knew' when it was right.

I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint now. I don't measure either, but it's close to a Tbsp/Qt.

I use Dr. Bronners peppermint. Never measured, just squirt what feels right. The “just right” is strong enough to make the water cloudy and I will sometimes taste whatever gets in the bloodstream.

I have tended toward a lighter touch after getting quite nauseous several times.

This thread is inspiring me to try Ivory after discovering several old bars during a cleanup.

I have always made my enemas pretty strong with a pitcher of Ivory and Zest soaps shaken, (sometimes Ivory and Castile) as I need cramps and strong peristalsis. The enema mixture is hot, white and frothy….and it WILL make your bowels empty out. It’s an experience! It hurts and yet, it’s what I crave.

[Rick6981]The funny thing was, our sister took the full bag most times as well. And she was two years younger than me and a year younger than my brother.[/quote]

I also had a younger sister who could take more than me. She also really enjoyed being given a good enema.

I have a pitcher that holds 1500 ml. I started out just squirting a little Dr Bronners plain in the pitcher then filling it up. Now I put a decent squirt of Bronners and a little squirt of J&J. It makes a nice white solution with a small amount of suds. I generally add more water to the bag to make it a full 2 qts. I've tried the Bonners mint soap but I can sort of taste it and it irritates my opening.

When I was growing up my Mom would stir a bar of Ivory soap in a jug of hot water until the solution was white and milky with a thick layer of suds on top. I do the same now or if I use Dr. Bronner's Baby Mild Liquid Castile soap or Liquid Glycerin soap I add 1 Tbsp. per quart of hot water. That results in a very effective cleanout.

Depends on how I feel, if I'm giving myself a relaxing enema, then it's a teaspoon of Dr. B's per quart. But if I'm in the mood to be really cleaned out, or just in the mood for a good soapy enema, then I'll do a tablespoon per quart of Dr. B's... normally 2 quarts so an oz of soap total

My girlfriend and I were in several classes together in Junior High. After school, we did our homework together, primarily at my house. One afternoon, my sister and girlfriend got to talking, and my sister told her about our enema swapping activities over the past year. A month or so later, she asked me, if I would swap enemas with her. That was a no-brainer, of course I did. The first few times we swapped enemas were at my house. Then, the first time we swapped enemas at her house, I realized she could hold more than I could, just like my sister. However, I quickly discovered the reason, she was used to taking more solution. The bag at her house held two an half quarts and the bag at home only held two quarts. It only took me a few sessions at her house before, I too, became accustom to the same amount.

Both my wifend I were given Ivory soap water enemas. Her Mom used Ivory lioquid hande soap till it was not sold any longer. Then all three sisters had to nkeep two bars of Ivouy grated in a large mouth jar in the bath room. PMS One teaspone oer2 quart. Bowel problems Two table spoons Per two quarts and Punishment Three heaping tablespons full. Of course that last one wass hung much higher. My parents used a home made pink soapy liquid and if tey wanted my sisters and I to promis never to dom anything wrong in our entire life, Please Please dont put more than an ounce per quart. Oh by the way my wifes family were second cousen and we even got family get togethers to keep us clean.

I use a squeeze of shea butter body wash gel and some baking soda for a good soapy sudsy yet mild enema.... michael https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/215099

If I am using Ivory bar soap, I make a real strong solution with tons of bubbles. It actually takes a while to top off the bag because of the bubbles. I slosh the excess suds back into the mixing bowl and continue until the bag is actually overflowing with the soapy water. The water is milky white, not merely cloudy. If I am using Dr. Bronner's, I generally use 10ml for a two quart enema. Sometimes double that amount if I want it really strong.

As I wrote in a previous post, after more than 50 years I am being given soap solutions again.

After a long search, we decided on the OHN enema soaps. At first we were very careful with it. In the first solutions, the soap bars were only placed in warm water for about 30 to 40 seconds and gently moved back and forth from time to time.

My lady gave me the first enema with a rubber bulb to see my reaction. It was a very pleasant and gentle experience. A few days later it was repeated with a bag and a larger volume. This enema was so horny... I never thought a soap enema could be so awesome.

In the meantime, we're testing the amount of soap to see the limits of where it still feels comfortable and when the threshold of uncomfortable is crossed.

Toss the soap bar in warm water for about 2 to 2.5 minutes for the best result. If the soap stays in the water for a long time, the first cramps of the kind I knew from my childhood become noticeable.

I have noticed that my lady prepares the soap solutions with a dedication that I have never known before. She says it's horny to prepare me an enema... she loves this soap and we should have tried it sooner...
