Obsession with red

Because every time I was confronted with the then-hated enema I knew I was going to get, it was always red and bulging!

I'm guessing the red color used long ago had something to do with durability. The chemical & manufacturing people were trying to make a better product than natural rubber. A car museum docent told me the very first tires were white natural rubber with carbon added later for black color and longer life.

Red has always been a passionate color for people in many places. Ritual body decoration with red ocher goes back to prehistoric times. Red, whether coincidental or practical for enema bags & bulbs, added to the fetish appeal I'm sure 😈

I have a blue bag- see avatar. However, the aroma is the same as any rubber article!

My mother had a red closed top bag, i remember well. She also had a thin pink bag with a pleat on either side, it went totally flat when empty. My favorite however was her blue pumpkin bag, my eyes would bulge out when i saw her getting that one out. It had a white collar around the top and was actually round when it was filled. Would love to find one like that again

I don't know that I'm obsessed with red; but, my 2 qt. bag is red because that was the only choice I had at CVS when I purchased it. My enema bulb is blue. I use both ever week. I do recall my mom had a red bag. I always assumed it was to douche herself with; but, I guess she and/or dad may have taken enemas. I really don't know and sure never was given enemas growing up. BTW, I am 74.
