Is There Anything About An Enema You Don't Like? Least Favorite Part?

You DON'T have to sit on the toilet waiting for that last pint or so!

Go about your life, just don't stray too far from the toilet for the first few hours.

I just slip some folded toilet tissue between my cheeks with some underpants on and walk around the house. It usually doesn't take long to feel like I have to go and sit down for the last of the enema to find its way out.

If I have a least favorite part it has to be the giving over of control to something that will make me do what I don't enjoy doing. From the time I take that bisacodyl laxative, the combination of an enema and an intestinal irritant will make me lose the entire content of my gut!

Why are you so harsh on yourself? Simple saltwater works every time. Don't force yourself to take a lot for the first bag. This should be about your pleasure going in and coming out...

Just a thought from reading here for about 5 years. I'm no expert, but reading Lisa's motivations and descriptions, it seems she has very specific goals in mind (enemas till clear, and/or "total system cleanout" in a specific time interval), not primarily eroticism or pleasure like mine usually are. I think she's worked out her method to achieve those goals. I'm in favor of helpful suggestions like quoted above, and for me I largely do use mostly water or saline, but I recall she aims at much more complete cleaning than I ever do.

Dropping an open top bag or having the nozzle shoot out or become disconnected. You better be fast to grab it and plug that hole. My thumb works well!

To you folks who talk about clearing the small bowel. I have seen a small bowel enema with contrast added after the bowel is clear. To me it looked like a barium colon enema was a walk in the park.

The small bowel is flushed from above. A large levine tube is threaded through the nose/mouth then guided through the stomach to the duodenum this is done under fluoroscope. Then a solution was sent through the tube. I Think it was osmotic glucose. Then like a regular enema the patient emptied the whole system from the top down Seems to me the colon was previously emptied with a large volume enema.

It was a very traumatic process even to watch. My role was to comfort the patient. No fun, hardly ever done since CT or MRI fortunately.

My least favorite part: When those later enemas, the third round on, just won't run clear! I know I've done laxatives that should clear the small intestine. Maybe that which comes out in those later rounds is coming from the small intestine. Still I hate it when that 3rd enema, or worse the 4th one won't run clear!

To me, the worst part is cleaning up everything when finished! Or having a tube come loose during the flow! Other than that an enema is a totally enjoyable experience!

When you can’t get enough water in you. When as soon as you start you instantly feel full. If I and I do wanna feel full. I wanna be full of water.

When the laxative starts to feel like it may be ready to do something and I don't have the enema ready for injection yet.

Good question! Sometimes my enemas just don't work, despite all the soap, they are slow to work and produce results, and I don't feel like I'm cleaned out.

I agree with Thomas853 author of the thread. Expulsion is the very necessary consequence of the practice. Indeed for us all, it's the purpose of indulging ourselves with all of the preparations, rituals, mixtures, impressive equipment and those desired sensations during our irrigation(s).

However, in the end, it is in my opinion unpleasant. Rude sounds, odors and delay getting to the next phase of your experience. Whatever that may be.

I understand many love expulsions, I simply don't.

For me, it's the leaking. I often end a session with a lot of leakage. I've tried to stop it (colon tubes, inflatables, etc.), but a "usual" session involves a fair amount of leakage. That creates a problem, since I usually do enemas on my bed. I put a towel down with plastic underneath, but it still bothers me. The second issue, and much like it, is that I have a hard time holding an enema until I get to the bathroom, and I often have to go back over the area I have traversed and clean up. Other than that, cramps, amount of water (I like lots), solutions, etc. are under control most of the time, and I do enjoy enemas, as well as get the real benefits from them, such as emptying of prostate fluid, cleansing, and so forth. Plus, a good series of enemas normally means I easily get erections--quite nice for an old guy. I don't care as much for solo, but that seems to be the way things are for now. I don't have anyone to reciprocate with at the moment, and that's not as much fun either. Why complain, though? I am in decent health, no major issues (except winter, and that's momentary where I live) in life, and I live in a very nice home. No complaints.

My least favorite part of an enema is finishing up, or more to the point, not being finished when I want to be finished. By that I mean, sometimes when I think I am finished expelling I am not really empty, and then some time later more is ready to come out. This could be anywhere from ten minutes to an hour later. This is particularly troubling at night if I have an enema before bed. I don't do that anymore, much preferring to take my enemas in the morning. I think this is one of the reasons I was not successful at getting my husband to like recreational enemas. Having to get up again after we had crawled in bed for fun.

I'm with @Cheryl77177. Not being done when you want to be is kind of a drag. After literally thousands of enemas I have a general idea of when it is all out, but not always.

I like everything about an enema except I don't like spending a half an hour expelling as I'm sitting on the toilet for a half an hour trying to get everything out.

For a more thorough evacuation:

Use a plain water solution temperature of 100 F to 105 F.

Optionally add 30 cc of glycerin per litre of water.

Lay on your left side, left leg almost straight and right knee drawn towards your waist.

Insert the lubricated end of the enema tube.

Do not raise the bag or bucket to use gravity flow. Lay the bag on the bed or set the bucket on your nightstand and instill the enema solution using a Higginson Syringe. Do not rush. Allow no less than 15 seconds per squeeze of the bulb.

If the colon starts to spasm you will feel resistance when squeezing the Higginson syringe. Just hold the syringe until you feel the resistance ease and resume instilling the solution until the bag or bucket is empty.

Once the solution in the bag or bucket is empty do not continue to squeeze the bulb to use all the remaining solution in the tubing and Higginson syringe. You risk pumping air into the rectum which will make retention more difficult.

Remain laying on your left side as long as you feel you can, then move to the toilet to evacuate.

Use a foot stool in front of the toilet to raise your knees while setting. The seven inch high or nine inch high Squatty-Potty stool, Tushman Ottoman etc help position/align the rectum to assist evacuation. While there are naysayers, it does work in easing evacuation.

While still setting, when you think you may have completely emptied your colon, place your feet on the floor, lean forward for 15 seconds, then lean back so your mid back rests against the toilet lid. While leaning back place your hand on the lower right of your abdomen and press. Move your hand upward to the rib cage, then across the abdomen below the rib cage and upon reaching the left front then run your hand down to the left hip. Repeat two or three times.

Stand for 15 seconds then sit back down. Wait about three to five minutes.

You should be good to go.

If you use glycerin or rectal bisacodyl in the enema then expect mucous collection in the rectum. After about 30 to 60 minutes it will often provide a feeling of needing to release flatulence. Almost invariably there will be two to three ounces of fluid. An incontinence brief or pantyliner will often absorb the mucous until such time you can clean and change. Be sure to locate the pantyliner to catch the released fluid as opposed to its regular purpose.

Victoria has some valid suggestions in completing evacuation. I would add that gravity can also assist in eliminating residual fluid. If one is taking enough solution to fill higher into the colon, some rotating positions can aid in eliminating just as they do in filling. Standing up is effective, but I also bend forward at the waist before sitting back down. If I can feel fluid and gas on the right side of my colon, I massage or push it up and over so it can run back downhill and out. A pint or two of cold water while seated, also aids in eliminating that last bit. If all this should fail, and it rarely does, I can lay on the bed and get into different positions. Often, I can detect any fluid still in my bowel by agitating my abdominal area.

I have to agree with the recent comments about long or incomplete evacuation as being the least favorite part of an enema. One of the reasons why my wife did not totally buy into the enema as foreplay was her fear of making a mess if she couldn't hold it. Especially if I managed to get a substantial amount into her and she expelled part of it but then as we got busy doing other things she had to get up to expel some more. She said that was a mood killer for her. I sort of have to agree with her. What do you do while your partner is on the pot?

Same here - never used enemas as part of any foreplay. Also when doing enemas on the bed, would used a combo bag, as an open-top was too easily spilled.

I really like to think that I have gotten all the water out of me. Of course I get proven wrong now and then. What I have found that works for me is that I now have some Playtex Ultra Tampons that I insert in my anus after I am finished. They have been wonderful to have. I can't feel them in my anus, they catch any water or other stuff that may come out. They allow me to pass gas or air that may be in me and are easy to remove. Makes life a lot easier at least for me.

I enjoy my enemas a lot, I just don't want to mess up my pants or underware.The tampons have worked wonders for me.

The random releases of water that come hours after finishing. I do high volume so the water has to work it’s way out but I still enjoy the enemas.

After a long enemas session it is a pain to put everything away. Since I try to be discreet when my wife is home, that makes the clean up and carrying the various bags and nozzles to where there are kept in a closet away from the bathroom. Even though she is well-aware of my enema taking, I still feel funny about it.

The “Wrung out” feeling I always seem to get to by the time I get a clear return.

The light headedness

If I don't do a thorough rinse of my colon after an oil enema, which my girlfriend sometimes gives me at bedtime in a knee chest position to get the oil far up into the colon followed by a tampon which she inserts, I may feel like passing gas but I expell some oil. I do enjoy sleeping with the thong and maxipad that she has me wear for more protection at night and the next day.

In college, I experimented with oil enemas and had a few such accidents, fortunately not in class.

When water is a bit colder than expected it gave me some cramps….

and sometimes after 4-5 enemas, seems my belly dont want them anymore and begin to cramp too…

idk why

Be safe

For me it would be the humiliation of being exposed and vulnerable in the knee-chest position with somebody behind me knowing they are going to take control of my bowels and make me poop uncontrollably.

Also the part where they're standing in front of me while on the toilet making me hold it so long that my insides are doing loops. If I even start to dribble, they're saying “clench it, clench it” until eventually i can hold no more and everythin just comes out on its own… then it's total relief. Funny thing, I always go back for more the next time.

I am not a big fan of hard cramps , I know a lot of folks like the cramping but for me it’s a distraction to a nice relaxing enema, don’t mind mild cramps but having to stop the flow until it lets up is not good for me

I posted back in 2018 but I have something more to add. I don’t like doing enemas solo. I rather have someone give me an enema.
