Kan-Chan!

Here's one I haven't seen here before. Ichijiku in Japan has a enema-penguin mascot, and you can get coloring pages featuring it. The Valentine's day special one has...connotations I guess?

@moliere Where do you find this stuff??? 😧

Maybe the game is to entertain the kid while the fig (mini-enema) is working?

Fleet also uses a penguin as their mascot:

This one actually came up while looking for something related to Japan.

These characters are not children only in Japan, but I did look at the products and their glycerin enemas tend towards the smaller end of the range. I kind of wish I had the guts to print one out for my wife, see what happens.

@moliere

The Japanese (Asian) enemas may seem small at 20 ml, but let me assure you that after getting one any adult will certainly poo, no matter how constipated, after 15 minutes to an hour max.

In Japan some years ago, I needed help and had not packed a bag. The local pharmacy sold me a little box of the 20ml size. I thought 'what? this little thing? it'll never get me going.' but the pharmacist assured me I'd get relief. So I went back to the hotel and laid down and used one. Within 15 minutes the urge was strong and I spent the next half hour on the toilet. Over the next few hours, I had two more urgent toilet trips.

I've seen ads for bigger sizes, up to 150ml for clinical use. I can't imagine what one of those would feel like.

Don't underestimate the things. They make you poo. You'll have no choice.

Might need to try one if/when I'm in Japan. Are they nicer than Fleets?

Yes, I've seen these, or something very similar looking, in pharmacies in North American city Chinatowns in my travels. They were quite inexpensive for a box of a dozen or so, and I was considering trying them. Then I read more on here about people's experiences with glycerin suppositories, and it made me pause. I would have been buying them just for fun, and it sounds like the results probably would've cost me a day out of my visit, needing to stay close to toilet, so I'm glad to have avoided. Maybe sometime when at home with the time to allow for this.

I think it's the high volume glycerin enemas that lead to trouble. These 30 to 40 mL ones probably won't get much above the rectum.

The Japanese "Figs" are essentially the same as the Fleet Liquid Glycerin Applicators, except they are available in a larger range of dosages. Also, the Fleets are 100% Glycerin; the Japanese are usually 50% Glycerin/50% water (some are a strong salt/water solution).

The 20ml size has about the poo power of 1 1/2 Fleets; the 40ml size are about 3 Fleets; the 150ml about 10 Fleets.
