Liquid Glycerin Suppositories

I saw an add last week in a CVS circular for Fleet Liquid Glycerin suppositories. (https://www.fleetlabs.com/constipation-relief-products/suppositories/fleet-liquid-glycerin-suppositories/) I know they've been around for a while, but this was the first ad I'd ever noticed.

I was just wondering if any zity members have tried them.

While I've had both regular glycerin suppositories and bisacodyl types like dulcolax , I've never tried the liquid glycerin type.

I'm curious as to how they compare and if there are any major differences / side effects.

Curious Mind wants to know !!!!

I have used them from time to time. A bit expensive, but they do work. Seems for me, anyway to create a lot of gas. Not as good as other suppositories or enemas. They do work in a pinch, but the others are tried and true and my preference.

I have seen the commercial for fleet liquid suppositories on TV. They seem to be small glycerin enemas to me but that is not how they market them. You can sure tell the population is getting older!

I've used them occasionally. If you want quick relief without a lot of muss & fuss, they work reasonably well.

Small volume glycerin enemas (or injections) have been around for well over 100 years. In Victorian and Edwardian times, they were a favorite of nannies. There were many bands of "glycerine syringes" that administered from about 10ml to 50ml of glycerin.

For example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vulcanite-glycerine-syringe-box-245670540

You can get an identical response with an infant (1 Oz) infant bulb syringe. The glycerin is very laxative and usully causes an urgent and thorough poo within about 15 minutes. It also draws water into the recipient's colon and is quite slippery, hence easing the passage of hard poo.

A very similar product is sold in Asia, in disposable form, containing a 50/50 mix of glycerin and water in sizes from 10ml to 150ml. The 150ml are for "clinical" use. LoL.

They work very well, but they are expensive. I bought 2 packages and then liquid vegetable glycerin at a health food store. I refill the applicators with the liquid glycerin and inject one or two. I try to retain the glycerin for twenty minutes or longer if I can. After fifteen minutes, I start to feel an urge to go. I often insert an anal vibrator to help me retain it longer and enjoy the crampy urges until I am forced to expel. It works great.

Why not just buy some glycerin, fill a bulb about 13 of the way with warm water and the rest of the way with glycerin?

I have used them and for me, I can't hold it for even 5 minutes after injecting the small amount of Glycerin. I haven't used one for a while but I used to buy bottles of glycerin at Walmart and refill the plastic bulb. It was a lot cheaper refilling them that buying them new.

I have tried them a couple of times when I need something that works quickly and not much time to do a bag enema. They worked much faster than a regular glycerin suppository and also I find them a little harder to hold too. In the end the results were the same. LOL.

Has anyone tried the Fleet Glycerin Enemas. I bought 2 on sale with a coupon 😃 I don't know what I'm saving them for…🌹

I have used the liquid glycerin for years. Buy a box of the Fleet Glycerin Suppositories, or a small piston type syringe, then a bottle of liquid glycerin and refill the applicators as many times as desired. I don't often use them as the first method of promoting action if necessary, I much prefer a “real” enema. But when I don't have the time or opportunity for an enema, the glycerin works in a few minutes. More often I use the glycerin to kickstart expelling an enema if it isn't coming out completely. I'm sure you have had it happen too. You have a nice enema, and part of it comes out, but you just know you are not empty yet. I give myself a shot of straight glycerin with one of those applicators and within minutes I am expelling the rest of the enema.

Liquid glycerin will rapidly produce a bowel movement. The Fleet infant product uses only about 3 cc's and will in an adult generally produce a mad dash to the bathroom within 15 minutes if not sooner. The more glycerin used, the faster the onset of action. 15 cc or 15 ml of pure glycerin for an adult will send the recipient scrambling to find the toilet, usually in less than 3 minutes.

You can buy 120 ml feeding tube syringes online. The tip of feeding tube syringes are a bit longer than the Fleet liquid glycerin units. Draw up 30 ml of glycerin in the feeding tube syringe and finish filling the syringe with water. Shake well to mix the glycerin and water. Insert the tip of the syringe and depress the plunger slowly over about 60 seconds. Keep a path open as when the urge occurs, it is a right now type of event. The urge will usually occur within five minutes and will leave the bowel ready for many diagnostic procedures such as the flexible sigmoidoscope or anoscope. Once administered its effect is much more rapid than sodium phosphate enemas.

The drawback with glycerin and sodium phosphate is both tend to produce mucus that provides a sensation like that of flatulence. If not aware of its tendency you frequently face a big surprise. When using larger amounts of glycerin the mucus production can be quite significant in volume and result in unexpected soiling of clothing. This undesired after effect can continue for upwards of 24 hours, thus you may want to consider wearing absorbent disposable underwear, pad or diaper. You are forewarned.

Per Jack Nicholson, never trust a fart.

I am like RedBulb99, in that I frequently use the liquid glycerin to help get the last of an enema out when I want to finish up. For me it is quite effective.

That's what always happened after the super extra strong bulb enemas I got when young that were made with Ivory Flakes that had been dissolved in a pot of hot water. Those enemas produce cramps I can only dream about now, and had the after affect that you mentioned hours later.

These little devils by looks can be quite deceiving they have the effect of an atomic blast 🧨

They are a good prep for anal play. Pop in one or two liquid glycerins, wait to expel and then a couple of bulb enemas to rinse. Quick prep time with no lingering effect (or surprises). You only need to clean out 8 inches or so - no need to clean the entire colon unless you'r3e going for deep anal play...

Many years ago before my discovery of Zity I was in Singapore and needed some relief after the incredibly long flight. There was a drug store, actually a stall, in one of the nearby shopping malls. The older Chinese woman who ran the place recommended these tiny things that we all now know are called Asian figs. Actually, they're tiny syringes filled with glycerine. Back in my hotel room I tried one and was amazed how fast it provided results. Whoever first said “don't be far from the potty” was spot on.
