Suppositories before an enema

I was curious if anyone gave themselves or others a suppository before taking/giving an enema and if there were any problems with it. As a child I was given both suppositories and enemas, but not at the same time.

Also, I'm interested in knowing what brand or type of suppository works best and/or fastest for inducing a strong urge for a bowel movement before the first enema. And, if a strong suppository is used, how long does it take for the rectum to calm down enough to accept an enema?

I was given a suppository in the hospital not too many years ago, and 15 minutes later I was on the toilet pooping three days worth of "storage".

Can anyone share insight on this?

I've found that Bisocodyl suppositories produce stronger urges to defacate than glycerine. They come in different brand names.

Because of the stronger peristalsis, I've found that it takes at least 30 minutes or so in order to be able to hold an enema for any length of time. After some fill and release, I can then handle a larger volume.

My mom and grandma wouldn't spend money on suppositories or laxatives. They went straight for the enema bag when there was a digestive issue. On a few occasions, the doctor, or his nurse, sent over some suppositories for my younger sisters. That's the only time I recall them being used.

I cannot say for certain because I haven't been able to locate the records, but I believe Dulcolax® when it arrived in the USA in the late 1950's was initially a prescription drug. That changed sometime in the early 1960's as best I can tell I do know that it was marketed in the USA by Ciba-Geigy, who has since sold the Pharmaceutical business to Novartis. (Ciba-Geigy is in still active as a very large chemical manufacturer, and among other things, developed the early insecticide, DDT). As is often the case at some point, the manufacturer of successful drugs that are marketed by someone else in the USA, decided to come to America. So in 1971 Boehringer-Ingelheim set up shop in the USA, and not long after that, the marketing of Dulcolax was taken back from Ciba-Geigy, and the manufacturer sold it in the USA.

Depends WHAT I'm doing

When I do a full-system cleanse, I usually take oral bisacodyl, usually 30 mg about 2 hours before starting the first enema. If I only take 20 mg then I take a bisacodyl suppository about 15 minutes before the injection of the first enema.

If I have a Fleet Bisacodyl mini-enema I take that 15 minutes before the first enema instead. It's such a small quantity I can't even feel it going in, as opposed to self-administering a suppository.

I really feel either one when it's time to expel that first enema

The one time I did a cleans with just laxative and a fleet enema I used a Potassium Bitartate suppoitory the next morning to wrap up the process

I do enemas for erotic pleasure so for me I want to have a BM before I begin my enema pleasure sessions. So I will sometimes give myself a glycerin suppository to have BM and clear my rectum. I have only used glycerin suppositories and I would say they are generally effective but not 100% of the time or least I will not notice any real urge to have a BM even after waiting 15 to 20 minutes after insertion. Maybe because the glycerin suppositories are not too harsh I have had no problems giving myself enemas afterwards. I have always used Fleet glycerin suppositories. I have yet to try the Dulcolax suppositories, which I do think are much more powerful.

I've found that Bisocodyl suppositories produce stronger urges to defacate than glycerine. They come in different brand names.

SSE4fun, how long did the Bisacodyl take from insertion to developing a strong urge to defecate? And, what brand would you recommend?

I use laxatives, suppositories and enemas for chronic constipation. However, I also use them for pleasure, also. If I am going for a total clean out, I usually start with a purgative dose of a strong laxative the night before. This might be two tbsp of castor oil, or 4-6 bisacodyl tablets. The next morning, after the laxative works, I drink a bottle of citrate of magnesia, followed immediately by up to four bisacodyl suppositories. I go about my chores around the house as I wait for my suppositories to kick my colon into high gear. That usually takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Normally, I just sit on the toilet as the urge to go becomes strong, although if I'm in the mood, I may diaper up and wait for the suppositories to force a BM. Either way, once I get the laxative and suppository induced BM, I start my first enema. I mix it up and fill my 4 qt open top bag when I feel that the suppositories are becoming impossible to hold, so it is hanging and ready for me. I only take 2-4 qts for enema #1. My second enema is the full 4 qts. Keep in mind that I have a bottle of magnesium citrate working to flush out my upper GI tract, and by the time I've fully released enema #2.

I pull on a Depends and relax around the house, surrendering to the diarrhea caused by the magnesium citrate. I fight the urges, and try to get to the toilet before I mess the Depends. Once the artificial diarrhea subsides, I mix and take one or two more SSE's, then I mix two or three salt and baking soda rinses. I have never needed more than three before the last one runs clear. I only do this two or three times a year, just to start over with a fresh colon flora. Although I do enjoy the process, it is time consuming. Not counting the overnight hours as my laxative works, the whole process takes 12 to 16 hours from start to finish. Finish defined as safe to venture away from the house.

I typically do not give myself a suppository right before I do an enema. I also suffer from chronic constipation and have to take an enema, a bisacodyl suppository or an oral laxative in order to have a bowel movement. I rotate the three basic remedies so that they will not lose their effectiveness.

Bisacodyl is far and away the most effective suppository for me. I get results in about 30 minutes and the peristalsis is quite strong. I suspect they empty a good part of my descending colon. I typically have to wait until the next day before I can tolerate a large volume enema after using a bisacodyl suppository. The residual bisacodyl causes rather severe contractions of my colon that make it impossible to retain any significant volume of water for a number of hours. I don't have that problem with a glycerin suppository, but those are largely ineffective for me. I can and have done large volume enemas right after the initial bowel movement induced by oral Dulcolax. For some reason, it doesn't cause the severe bowel spasms that the suppositories do.

As others have indicated, the Bisocodyl suppositories usually produce a BM in 15-30 minutes. If one fights the urges, 30 minutes is often the outside timeframe. I don't purchase any particular brand as they are often packaged depending on the supplier.

I really don't enjoy them. When I've been directed to use bowel preps and provided bisocodyl tablets or suppositories, I usually ask if I can just take a couple of enemas. Prior to IVP, KUB Xrays, or Lithotripsy, clearing the lower bowel is usually sufficient. While the staff and urologist may find it unusual, it is more convenient and doesn't necessitate being off work or near a terlet.

Besides, the enemas are much more enjoyable!

Bisacodyl suppositories are my second choice when I need something and for some reason an enema is unavailable or inconvenient. As has been noted they are much stronger than the glycerins, which rarely work for me (I think glycerins work more on the rectum).

A single bisacodyl suppository takes longer to work on me (40+ mins), and can require multiple trips to the toilet. It's also a little harsher than the enemas, so I'll tend to reach for enemas first when I need something. Suppositories, however, are much easier to carry with you and you can do something else during those first 30 or so minutes, which can sometimes be convenient. Enemas generally take over your life from the time you start the injection through the time they are out, however you do need to have the freedom for toilet runs from about 15 to 90 minutes for the suppositories.

Yes, you can slip one in about 10-15 minutes before an enema and it will make things noticeably more powerful!

If you wait for things to really get started with the bisacodyl you'll probably need to wait an hour and a half or so for things to calm back down, sometimes more.

The typical glycerin suppositories work slowly for me, and I need two or three of them for any real effect. The Bisacodyl suppositories like Dulcolax are quite effective for me but are quite uncomfortable (burning feeling during and after) and often produce a second result sometime later. Or, if I take an enema after one it makes it quite difficult to take the enema without significant cramping.

Suppositories are a novelty thing for me. Something for when I need to feel something in my butt, but surely not a substitute for a good enema.

While we're on the subject of suppositories, for the newbies or otherwise uninformed would-be suppository users: DON'T go to the corner drugstore for Dulcolax suppositories! You can get exactly the same active ingredient (bisacodyl) in generics available online. Just "google" "bisacodyl suppositories", and informational material will pop up, along with ads from online suppliers. Browse them! Dulcolax suppositories average $1.25 each in the stores. I've been able to buy a box of 100 generics online for $15.95 + $6.00 for S & H! So, $21.95/100 = $0.22/suppository! = many happy "moving experiences"!

The most effective enema I have had was started with an oz. of liquid glycerin injected with a lube injector and held until the urge to go got strong, and then a 2-1/2 liter hot soapsuds enema given on top of the glycerin...

I have had both. My girl the first time she did it to me, she had me lay on my tummy then slid two Glycerin suppositories in me, then used a long nozzle and pushed them up deep. I had to lay there for about ten minutes then she started the enema. The feeling was really nice, I had to retain the enema for about five minutes then was allowed to release. Let me tell you, it works GREAT. She followed up with two plain water enemas then a good spanking for being a good boy. The second time, she used home made coconut oil and peppermint castile suppositories and a gallon bucket enema. mIt was very crampy but it also was a fantastic FEELING. tHE SPECIAL ENEMA WAS FOLLOWED UP WITH A COUPLE OF WASHES AND A GOOD SPANKING.

HIGHLY Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I usually put in a Bisocodyl and a glycerin suppository before I make the soap solution and fill the bag. There is a little "screaming" down there but it does produce a much more enjoyable result.

I always go for dulcolax suppositories before I start my series of enemas. It doesn't burn too bad, feels rather pleasant and slick. Eventually it'll make me go and help leave room for the fleets or soap solution. Haven't tried more than one suppository though. Want to try several and take an enema after.

The Magic Bullet bisacodyl suppository works fastest as it melts the fastest. Three or four glycerin suppositories will give an urge to go starting about twenty minutes after insertion. Then a warm, soapy enema can be given or received and retained until the cramps force you to expel. Enjoy! You should start to feel the regular bisacodyl suppository after some fifteen to twenty minutes during which time you can prepare a nice, warm soapy enema.

I can recall a few times when I was young getting those thin long glycerin suppositories from mom, followed within the hour by the usual soapy enema session. Not really sure why she gave me the suppository if she already decided giving the enema. Maybe just to relax and get things started because I had to lay down in bed after the suppository was inserted. I never asked her and don't think I ever complained about it. It was all just a part of growing up and getting cleaned out back then. The suppository was only used a few times, but the enemas were regular occurrences.

I sometimes do take a bisacodyl suppository 10 minutes before starting an Epsom Salt and Soapsuds enema

I always prefer to administer suppositories to my sub before she gets her enema. Double Dulcolax is good. Takes about20-30 minutes, depending if she is resisting. I think that helps to make the enema work better, deeper, cleaner. Of course, all of this is prep for a good butt-fuck with my strap on.

I often do enema play with a friend of mine who is a strong believer of taking a couple of fleet suppositories 30min-1hr before I administer her enema. She believes it not only cleans out the lower portion of her rectum but also warms up her rectum to retain an irritable substance. She is usually ready to receive her enema shortly after evacuating the suppositories, but she does like the challenge of holding an irritable substance so the short cool down time between suppository and enema adds to the challenge, which she enjoys.

I have done this a few times just as a change of pace and for variation I think I've tried all the different formulas of suppositories that are available at the usual big box drug stores. Sometimes I think it improves the sensation and net outcome, probably if I really am a little stopped up prior to beginning the enemas. But in reality, suppositories are probably not necessary if you plan on taking multiple enemas that range from small to large volume before finished. The net effect will be about the same - you'll be cleaned out!

If you want to enhance the effects of an enema, insert one or two 'Magic Bullet' suppositories a few minutes starting the water.

These are water soluble Bisacodyl (Dulcolax) and and the enema water spreads the active ingredient all over the colon wall, producing an intense, wide spread poo. These are much more effective than either Fleet or Dulcolax suppositories, which are fatty based, and melt rather than dissolve.

There is one way of using a regular Dulcolax suppository. Take one or two, drop them into a disposable mineral oil enema, and place the enema into warm water until the suppositories are completely melted and mixed with the oil. Give while still warm.

This enema is dramatic. The bisacodyl rapidly produces an intense urge, the lubricating effects of the oil make the poo impossible to hold. Messy accidents are very likely, very quickly.

There were times growing up when my mom decided that she didn't want to fuss in making and giving me an enema so instead she would insert a suppository, which in those days was a simple glycerine one and she kept the blue jar of them in the fridge. They never really worked that well, which of course meant that she had to wind up giving me an enema anyway. As for her enemas, there was never any question and they would always work.

I usually do use suppositories or soap sticks before an enema. I use the fleet suppositories but usually need a few at the same time to make them work.

They (glycerin suppositories) never really worked that well, which of course meant that she had to wind up giving me an enema anyway. As for her enemas, there was never any question and they would always work.

Same for me - then and now. Dulcolax suppos worked better, but weren't very nice.

I have never tried the suppository route before, but have given myself something very similar to a glycerin "suppository" followed by a soapy enema by creating a layered enema in an enema bag.

Although glycerin is soluble in water (or a soapy water enema) you have to take a little effort to mix them together. This type of enema is taken by not premixing them in the bag (or bucket). My typical volume for this is 2.5 liter. I usually limit this enema to a 3-liter maximum volume with an "average" of 10% strength by using my lower colon as the mixing chamber.

First, I add 250 ml of 100% glycerin to my bag and allow it to fill the volume of the hose. The glycerin is relatively thick and takes a while to drain out of the measuring cup (I buy glycerin by the gallon) and down the length of the hose. Once the glycerin reaches the end of the hose and nozzle I close the clamp.

Then using the measuring cup that still has a residual glycerin, I make up my soapy enema "top layer." A total of 2.25 liters of warm water with 30 grams of shaved Ivory soap dissolved in the water is carefully poured on top of the glycerin layer. There will be some mixing at the top of the glycerin layer. But if you pour it in slowly the mixing is minimal.

I use a balloon retention nozzle (and sometimes an inline Higginson pump) to take this enema. Once the nozzle is inflated and secured, with the bag suspended high, I open the clamp to the fully open position. I depend upon the mass of the water on top of the glycerin layer to provide sufficient pressure to have the glycerin flow out the bottom of the bag and flow through the hose. Although some of the glycerin clings to the walls of the bag (and begins dissolving into the warm soapy mixture), most of the glycerin is the first down the hose and into the rectum. In my case, the glycerin doesn't burn even though it does cause my rectum and lower Sigmoid to tingle as it coats the walls and slowly flows up my rectum, Sigmoid, and into the descending colon. The glycerin is viscous enough to take 10-15 minutes to flow out of the bag and hose before the soapy enema solution (with the residual glycerin now mixing in with the enema solution) reaches the hose and then begins to flow into my colon.

Things speed up considerably once the thinner soapy enema flows into the hose and begins to sweep out the glycerin remaining in the hose. Once the soapy solution reaches the hose and the nozzle, the rectum and Sigmoid become the mixing chamber and then the resulting enema ends up being a variable glycerin strength soapy enema that is of a sufficient volume to reach well up into the transverse colon. The glycerin has one effect and the soapy enema glycerin mixture has a power effect further up in the colon.

It takes the balloon catheter to hold it all in initially but after holding the solution for a short period of time, if I remove the balloon nozzle, my rectum closes down to such an extent that the enema effectively becomes a self-retaining enema. The enema will gradually be forced out with intense muscle contractions and all the actions associated with the dissolving and churning of the enema, but it isn't such an easy flow out. Moreover, inserting a simple small nozzle to begin the rinse process is a challenge because the rectum is so sensitized to physical contact and so closed down that getting the nozzle in is a challenge.

Eventually, the rinses will begin to flow and allow the original enema to flow out and begin to mitigate the effects of the soap and glycerin. This doesn't happen over an hour. It takes several hours (like 6-8 hours) to complete the enema process and end up well cleaned out.

This enema has the advantage of being all liquid and so the glycerin doesn't have to melt the way suppositories do.

Sometimes I will take suppositories before enemas, that is if I have the time. On occasion, I will take them the day before an enema series or at other times, just prior to the enema. Either case works good. If I use the glycerin suppositories, I tend to use the store brand rather than the Fleet as they are both cheaper and work just as effectively. I may also use the ducolax suppositories as well. Those tend to be more effective, cause more cramping and work much faster.

I will admit i tried suppositories years ago but they really did not melt. I keep them about an hour and let loose. The enema with a little ivory is my clean out drill. But may try it later this month when wife leaves on trip will let you know the response.

If you want suppositories before an enema, use Magic Bullets. They dissolve in the enema water and the enema water spreads the active ingredient widely in your colon. The enema need not be large.... an 8 Oz bulb full is plenty.

After this, don't stray far from the toilet unless you want a very messy accident. The urge to poo quickly becomes widespread and irresistible
