Tips for holding enemas

For larger volume enemas I use inflatable retention nozzles and leave them in place after the enema bag has emptied, then remove them when im ready to go. I have the double balloon and the plug style. I must say the plug style is currently my favorite, generously expanded in my rectum it takes all of the responsibility off of me to hold the enema even with cramps it gives me or my giver the choice of when I go.

For me to hold a large volume enema I find that if I use a little hotter than normal water but not too hot as to burn it relaxes my colon perfectly. I can do a 3 quart tea enema and I also find the tea totally relaxes my colon. I can hold the 3 quarts for over an hour then release maybe 1/2 to 1 quart and I can absorb the rest of the enema. At times I will do this right before I go to bed ,,, Also for 3 quarts I use a Barium enema bag and with that bag once you click it you are going to take the full 3 quarts like it or not lol

I was never very good at retention... thank goodness for the double balloon nozzle!

There are several good suggestions in this thread. I find that retaining enemas for extended periods of time is often unnecessary. Certainly, a coffee enema is purportedly better when retained for 15-20 minutes. I suspect tea, salt and soda, and other mild solutions are appropriately retained for several minutes and longer depending on personal preference.

A soapy enema, usually taken for the purpose of irritating the bowel, is likely expelled as soon as the mission has been accomplished. Many people are unable to take larger volumes due to the irritating properties. The same is true for M&M or other explosive types of solutions.

A rotating enema usually allows for larger volumes and potentially longer retention. For those who enjoy Enemassage or sexual foreplay/intercourse, a gentle warmer enema can facilitate longer retention and playtime. Those with retention type nozzles may have the best arrangement, but minor leakage can still occur. Leaving the nozzle/colon tube inserted with the clamp open can allow for some ebb and flow and escape of gas.

The only tips I know for retaining the nema longer are panting, a good coach and masturbation, that I find works so much better it takes your mind off the enema and its really hard to put into words just how good the orgasm feels

You are probably doing too much. Don't take more than you can handle and you can increase it over time. I like to start out with them in knee chest and sometimes have them flip over onto their back if the cramping gets intense. This will usually get you through 5 minutes anyway.

There is a colon therapist in Madison, Wisconsin who gave me the following tip in taking enemas. It has worked for me. Start the flow and count to 10 and then stop the flow for 10 seconds. Repeat this on and off method until you have taken as much as you can hold. I have found it lessons the cramps and pressure. I can usually take 2 qts enemas, two in a row and then a 1 quart coffee enema. I am able to hold each enema for about 5 minutes, sometimes a bit longer. The bag is hung about 3 feet higher then the bed.

I prefer knee-chest for retention. It let's gravity do some of the work.

The frequency of my enema play has decreased and I have trouble filling. I will definitely try this technique. Thanks ?
