Which is LESS irritating??

Dr Bronners Lavender or J&J Baby Shampoo?

Thanks,

J&J Baby Shampoo for sure!!!

Yep, baby shampoo is much easier to take and hold. Still cleans out pretty well.

J&J I like the best. I can put a little or a lot in one enema can and I don't get cramps or any other reactions. I can use 2 to 10 tablespoons in and all I get are a lot of suds and everything comes out easy.

I have tried other soaps, most of them either hurt or cause cramps. I am usually left with a very sensitive anus. The water rinses hurt when I insert the nozzle.

I use soap now and then. I like J&J the best. I have tried all the soaps mentioned. J&J for me is the best.

Baby shampoo with baking soda and sea salt.

Always use baking soda and sea salt, but will try some baby shampoo.

Here's another vote for J&J with salt and soda. Cleans very well, smells great, and doesn't cramp in my usage.

Oh hands down J&J baby shampoo is less irritating for me. Still gives a good clean out with lots of suds. My go to soap when a nice long relaxing session is the goal.

J&J baby shampoo is my go to for a comfortable non cramping enema. Smooth going in and coming out and a great cleanout.

I use tap water 90% of the time, but when I use soap, it's always J&J Baby Wash

Dr. Bronners peppermint soap, but have never experienced baby shampoo which is less expensive.

If it's more irritating you just need less of it!

That way you justify the cost.

J & J Baby Shampoo contains fragrances, which might cause problems if you're allergic. I'll second LisaK: just use less Doc B's.

Bronners now makes a soap without any fragrances .

I find any soap irritates me so just do water

I personally like baby soap, but there is always Ivory ,,, letting water run over the bar.... lots of good suds...

Technically, J&J isn't a soap. It may be mild (as a detergent) because of the combination of ingredients and their concentrations in the colored water that makes J&J. And because of that, a capful or two per liter may provide a very low/moderate irritation of the bowel.

Granted, you find at least one component that is common between Bronner's and J&J (glycerin) and they are both liquid. Bronner's saponification reaction relies upon potassium hydroxide rather than sodium hydroxide to produce the soap from the fat.

I have tried both and find that, by volume dilution, J&J is the milder of the two. Both will stimulate my colon to produce mild contractions to help my enema along and both will nicely soften and partially dissolve any material in my lower colon.

As a matter of observation, I do notice that the ability to clean out and obtain a relatively clear rinse is greatly enhanced by either liquid or dissolved solid soap or by the J&J. I just use J&J much less often as my enema additive.

I've tried, Dr Bronners Lavender. It is a comfortable and wholesome additive. You will likely taste it as it invades you. So, easily it is more fun. But if you want to blow bubbles, go wit J&J. Each has its own adventure and each, in proper proportions, gives a problem you will enjoy.

I've tried them all - Ivory Bar soap, Dove Beauty Bar, Dr. Bronner's plain, peppermint, lavender, and J&J... Good old Ivory original bar soap is what I use most, followed by Dr. Bronner's plain or peppermint... Did not like J&J as it's too mild, no cramps and stays in forever, producing "dreaded enema drips"...

If you don't want irritation why not stick to plain water?

Ivory bar soap is mildly irritating, moderately lubricating, and well tolerated.
