(With recent travel for work I have hardly visited zity in the past year, but I am really still alive and well! I posted something like the following a few years ago; it might be helpful now.)
A cute and anatomically comfortable little syringe for glycerin mini-enemas can be easily made as follows:
1. Look up Amazon B01HDXZR5E, which is Covidien oral syringe # 43307-22869. I am just going by the picture - I have not ordered this part myself, so it is possible that the cap is no longer as pictured. Get this exact 10ml plastic oral syring with the short, rigid plastic bowler-hat cap as shown. (A pack of ten is $6.29 today; other sellers claim to have this for $5 or so, but these are not pictured and might include a different cap, which may or may not work for this purpose.)
2. Buy a Fleet brand (only!) regular cleansing enema unit (4.5 ounce). (Again, I am going from past experience; I have not bought these in the past year.) These should have the flexible rubbery tip snapped into the screw-threaded cap. These nozzles can be disassembled easily into the two component parts, and the rectal tip itself should have an internal groove just inside the mounting flange. To my knowledge, the Fleet enemas are unique this way. The threaded cap portion is not needed, nor is the rest of the enema unit.
3. Remove the little plastic cap from the plastic syringe and mount it on the end of a pencil to hold it safely. Using a sharp knife, cut the hat-brim off the cap, leaving about 1/16 inch of cap shaft. You have thus made, in effect, a plastic shoulder washer. (Alternatively, you could find an actual plastic shoulder washer of the same size, or even an ordinary washer.) Discard the end of the cap, retaining the shoulder washer.
4. Force the rubbery nozzle over the shoulder washer, the flat side of the washer toward the base of the nozzle. The washer should exactly snap into the internal groove in the nozzle.
5. Remove the rubbery-nozzle-and-washer assembly and force it onto the plastic tip of the syringe. It should fit snugly, and with gentle pressure should seat against the syringe body.
6. You now have a nice rectal syringe which I have found easy and comfortable to use - and rather cute (I think!). It is of a perfect size to fit into many cylindrical toothbrush cases if you grind or cut off the finger flanges close to the syringe body, but not all the way; removing the finger holds completely will make the syringe awkward to hold for self-administration. I prefer this device to the relatively few specifically rectal syringes of similar design.
7. This is perfect for glycerin mini-enemas or mixed glycerin-water ones. For myself, I fill it to only about 3 or 4 ml (cc) with pure clycerine when I need a quick help to push out poop; I usually inject a tiny bit - not more than 1 ml - before I brush my teeth, then the rest about 2 minutes later, and I need to toilet almost immediately. Alternatively, you could dilute the glycerin with about 1/3 water, and fill the syringe. It cleans easily just by sucking water in and out a few times; glycerin is bacteriostatic.
8. After use, don't store the syringe with the plunger fully seated, as it may tend to stick. Leave it about 1/8 inch extended.
The glycerin mini-enemas are helpful to me when I just want a bit of lubrication and help to push out a BM. If that doesn't work thoroughly enough I usually use a bisacodyl suppository (when I don't have time for a real enema). The mini syringe could also be used to administer homemade bisacodyl microenemas, I suppose, but I haven't tried this.
So, there you have it (again). Love and kisses to everybody. I hope to get back here when my work assignment changes.
