Colon Tubes -- How to Use ??

I am thinking of purchasing a colon tube. I have read this entire thread but found very few remarks concerning the use of a closed end or open end colon tube. Is one easier to insert than the other? I would like to read about the pros and cons, especially from switchablesusie.

The closed end MIGHT be slightly easier to insert and pass around corners than SOME brands of open end tubes, but I don't have a real preference. Most of our tubes are open end since that's how the heavy 36-48 Fr red rubber ones manufactured in England 15 or more years ago were made. The tips on the old ones we have are nicely rounded and polished. Many of the newer ones are clearly cheaply made and not so smooth. The closed end ones are a little more difficult to clean inside the tips and the eyes. The open end ones you can look right in and use Q-tips to get inside very easily if you need to.

I have to place an order for the new silicone super sized 122-155Fr sized tubes! They sound like a lot of fun!

I've owned both closed and open end colon tubes and I have to say I'm partial to the closed end silicone version. My first colon tube was a red rubber open end tube that served me well for many years...but getting it inserted was always a hit-or-miss proposition. I then moved to the closed end red rubber tube and found it to be even more difficult to insert. Why? I have absolutely no idea! As the tubes got older and a bit softer, they became far easier to insert. Several years ago, I decided to try a closed end silicone tube. It was love at first enema...I mean sight!

The closed end silicone is now my tube of choice. I get good results with it and oftentimes find that full insertion is far easier to accomplish.

Good luck with whichever you choose!

Susie, If you get the 122 or 155 french,share your opinion pls. I too might get one eventually,and would like to know the length and stiffness you ordered and how you liked it,assuming you mean siliconenozzle item.

Re: how do you use it? Answer - Lube it up and insert it into - - shouldn't have to tell you where.

Seriously - I use the CT122 from SiliconeNozzles.Com. I think mine is the #3 "skin soft" firmness. This is the great thing about his stuff, you can get almost any of the items in a wide range of firmness to suit your taste. To maximize the potential of this rather awesome device (1.6" dia., mine 18" long) first take enough regular enemas to clear the playing field as it were. Warm up the "tube" in hot water and connect to your favorite bag and tubing. Lube your ass liberally as well as the first 6 or 8 inches of the "tube." I use Vaseline rather than water-based lubes. Get in a comfortable position lying down and grasp the "tube" below the lubed area with a washcloth - once lubed it's almost impossible to hold onto with bare hands. Guide it to your by now quivering asshole. Use your other hand to guide it in while holding it firmly with the washcloth. If this is the largest thing you have tried to put in your ass, go slow. Actually, pushing out or puckering your anus is helpful. Move yourself onto the "tube" and be accepting of it. Once the head is past both anal sphincters there will be less resistance. Releasing some water alternately while working the "tube" in a fucking action, going deeper with every few strokes, will allow for surprisingly deep penetration and some sensations that you will have never before experienced. To explore maximum penetration use and oil enema and little or no water. Inject the oil from the Fleet kit, about half before insertion and the rest as you continue. I have gotten 16" in and I am not a large person. You will notice I keep saying "tube." This is because calling this thing a tube is like calling an SUV a SmartCar. I have a large collection of enema and anal penetration devices - this one is in a class by itself. Very sexy to handle warmed up and lubed.

I have owned a CT122 for a few months now. Mine is 28" long and firm - but that is only relative to the options available. It is still fairly soft. I have self-inserted a bit more than half of the length and had professional help that inserted it a bit more. I feel no compulsion to even consider taking the entire length - the sensations from more than a foot of the "pink python" (yep, mine is pinker than pink) are amazing.

Whether the solution is running full time or pulsed in, taking it slow works well and actually enhances the feeling of invasion. Combining this with a Higginson Pump required a second set of hands and produced incredible sensations, as well as a larger fill. Although the diameter is considerably more narrow than my max, the feeling of fullness is nearly total.

A truly amazing product - in any length, color or durometer. The company is just completing a customized, special-order version of this model. I expect to have a report on that in about 5 weeks, with a description of the custom features..

So you guys with the CT122...would you be able to go deeper if it were a #3 softness scale ...without it doubling back? Or is it so thick that it won't make the bends?

I think such a soft tube would simply be too soft to push very far. It would be like pushing a piece of string.

I ordered the most firm and it is still extremely soft and flexible. Further penetration limits are anatomy and who is "driving."

I said yesterday that inserting a very soft colon tube is like pushing string. I’ll try and explain that better. The problem with very soft colon tubes is that the material is elastic, i.e. deforms under tension or compression. When stretched the tube gets longer and thinner. That’s one aspect of elasticity. But conversely, when the tube is compressed parallel to its length — like when you try to push it into the colon against friction from the colon walls — it gets shorter and fatter. The fatter tube then encounters still greater friction from the colon walls. You see where this is heading. Further insertion soon becomes pretty much impossible, at least without another person’s help.

The advice on siliconenozzles.com is to order longer tubes in firmer material, and this makes good sense.

Susie, did you end up ordering one of the large tubes from siliconenozzles.com? I have one in the works myself and can't wait. I've seen positive feedback from people in this thread and others, but am interested in your feedback to since you know what you like and have lots of experience with thicker tubes. If so, which item and any tips or tricks to pass on? I would think that a 122 fr tube would feel like a hefty chore to maneuver at first, but the thickness would allow the tube to be nudged and guided more easily from outside the body.

I'm hoping that Bob will start to make thicker tubes with some texture or bumps. That would be fun from the inside and outside!

I didn't order one yet. I decided to see what some others thought about the various stiffness options of them.

I still like my regular 1" and 1 1/4" diameter silicone tubes for deep snaking so I'm not in such a hurry now.

Where did you get the 1" and 1 1/4" tubes that you currently have? I'd like to have options, depending on the enema solution and depth I want to deliver it.

Also, I'm curious how well those sizes work for you husband, if you use them on him. I recall you saying that you can fist him deep fairly easily, so I'm wondering how fulfilling those sizes are for him since he is likely larger than you internally.

I don't recall but if you do a search for silicone or rubber tubing, you will find many suppliers.

Most tubes are not as user friendly as what silicone nozzles custom makes for you. What I buy requires a little cutting, smoothing and finishing and addition of some GE silicone for final finishing and contouring. My husband likes to do that as he imagines the tubes going up my behind.

Suzy....

I'm due for a colonoscopy on the 17th. I don't "do" the liquid laxatives since I'm now "enema dependent" anyway. I stop eating meat 5 days prior and go clear-liquid 3 days prior. Daily enemas until 2 days prior then 2-3/day. On the day before take the Citrate of Mag to get the upper stuff moved down.

Any comments and/or suggestions?

Anxiously awaiting.....

If you eat a low residue diet for five days, have magnesium citrate the day before and two days of enemas. I suppose you will be well cleaned out.

DO NOT play around with colon tubes and balloon nozzles for two weeks before your colonoscopy. You don't want any irritations that could be confused with something needing further attention or biopsies.

Howw do you know and how can you tell when a colon tube loops back on itself?

The water won't flow if it folds back on itself and you won'r feel it advance through the colon as you massage your abdomen.

Thanks Susie. I've been having trouble getting my silicon colon tube in.

Use plenty of lubrication on the tube, twist (rotate back and forth) the tube as you insert, insert slowly. If it stops, retract a little, change angle of insertions, then proceed, Having the waetr flowing can also helps clear the way.

For me, having the water flowing is the most important aspect of a successful colon tube insertion along with plenty of lube. Turning the tube and using an in-and-out (fucking 😃 ) motion also help. I have also found that silicone tubes don't loop back on themselves as readily as the rubber ones.

Hi I have a question on colon tube for some reason when I give my wife a enema with a colon tube I can only get about 10 in into her any thoughts as to why?

Mine is 12 inches and i can often get it all in right up to the tap

I use a 48 inch colon tube, and can insert the entire length. You have to make sure it's well lubricated, and to allow a little enema solution to run in as the colon tube is inserted. And go slow so that it doesn't puncture anything or it doesn't fold back on itself!

Have you started the enema so it starts injecting. Also a olive oil enema to get it inserted

I find that I have to let a quart or so go into the rectum before I can advance the colon tube the rest of the way.

I am a male 75 year old.

Is that to old for an deep colon tube enema?

I mean all the way in!

Alterna--I am 73 and use a colon tube each time I give myself an enema. Just proceed carefully, especially the first few times.

Going slow and LOTS of lube are the 2 things to remember. I have colon tubes in 3, 4, and 5 foot lengths, and have inserted all fully. It takes time, not for a quickie session, but very satisfying!!!

Also, sometimes it helps to allow a little of the enema solution to flow into the colon as you slowly insert the tube!!!
