How do you define "a clear return?"

We have all used this term- a clear return.

I have been doing enemas for decades and I would say I have achieved a clear return after many enemas, but what does a clear return look like?

This maybe obvious but we might not all be thinking the same thing when we use the term- clear return..

So how exactly would you define a clear return when doing enemas?

For me, it's "no more solids." Since the small intestine is continually dumping partly digested food into the large intestine, anything more than that is pretty much impossible just from enemas.

When it gets to the point where it looks like "peeing out the butt" with no food scraps that is as far as you should really go.

That is basically your digestive juices coming out.

Understand that the stomach releases part of it's content into the small intestine about every 15 minutes. The small intestine releases to the large intestine at about the same interval, but almost never in sync

The stomach is best emptied by fasting, which despite it's name is actually quite slow. It IS safe! FORCED VOMITING IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED!!

Enemas are the best way to clear the large intestine.

This leaves the small intestine.

Very difficult to clear!

There is no truly pleasant way to clear it.

Magnesium citrate is probably the least unpleasant way.

Drink the entire bottle! Best way. Refrigerate it first. then put ice water in a stadium cup Stay near the toilet just in case you DO vomit. Most people don't! A sip of water, sip of magnesium citrate, a sip of water count to 10 and repeat until the magnesium citrate is all down. Then over the next 15-30 minutes drink the rest of the ice water. Wait about 45 to 90 minutes and you should get good effect. The effect should taper off about 6 hours after you took it You can't drink too much water during that time.

Some people are using Miralax today I have yet to try that!

My colonoscopy web site tip indicated that if you can see the bottom of the toilet upon finishing your prep you are

clear enough for your colonoscopy. After several enemas I have received almost pee returns on ocassion.

I guess I will chime in and answer my own question.

When doing a series of three enemas, usually when I expel the second one it will be free of solids. The first one does most of the work to remove solids. I should also mention that when I do a series of enemas I will have had at least 1 BM before I start my series. I do enemas for pleasure and so I always want to start with a colon that is at least partially clear. By the third enema, my expel is a yellow color liquid and nothing else. I would consider that a clear return. I guess we could begin to grade and categorize expel clarity which would be very subjective, so I would say if you are expelling pure liquid and no solids you have achieved a clear return.

Essentially clear, yellow liquid, "peeing out the butt" with no food scraps.

That's a clear return.

I agree with what has been said before. For me, ‘clear returns’ means that I’m no longer expelling any solids and that the liquid has a slightly brownish to yellowish color.

For me it’s free from debris and color, as close as the water was going in when it comes out, just about clean enough to drink

When I am doing enemas, whether giving or receiving, I like to give/ take them until there are no solid returns. I have only succeeded in "until clear" a few times (really clear--two large SSE's, then one clear water. Last expulsion was just yellowish water.). How many of us give or receive until " as clear as possible?"

Today, for example, I was still dumping a few solids after 3 enemas. So, not clear. How about you? How many have given or received real "enemas till clear?"

I've never used that as a goal for any of my enemas with or without my Domme ex giving them to me or reversing roles so I gave to her. However, in a D/s enema/orgasm scenario, it would be fun to use that as a both physical (multiple and longer enemas) and psychological (threatened with being flushed until clear) technique to heighten the enjoyable D/s elements of an enema. Fun for both.

As far as I’m concerned, clear returns means free from discernable solids.

The vast majority of my sessions involve multiple (typically between 3 and 6 rounds) fills (typically between 2 and 4 quarts per fill) which results in clear returns. That, however, is a product of my favored way to indulge rather than a goal of the indulgence.
