Colon Tubes -- How to Use ??

I have never had a colon tube used on me. Are the cramps worse or less? Can you hold an enema longer with a colon tube? Does a colon tube hurt while it is getting inserted up inside of you? Is this procedure considered a high enema? Is it dangerous if the giver does not know what they are doing? And what position is best for a colon tube?

I use a colon tube regularly. I agree with the previous person. Take your time. After a couple of clean out enemas ( this makes for a much better "colon tube experience") I set my equipment, prepare the place I will lay down then proceed to feed about 3-4 inches of the tube in which is lubricated (I also put lubrication in prior to insertion to my rectum facilitating a smoother insertion) I then open the clamp on the tubing from the syringe bag and as previously stated slowly begin to push the colon tube in withdrawing slightly when the tube arrives at a bend in the colon. slow and easy continue to push the tube into the colon with the flow slow to moderate once the tubing in completely inserted it is very comfortable and very relaxing. I would suggest from my experience, start with a smaller in diameter colon tube such as a fr 20 or 24. Larger tubes are somewhat less flexible and require more skill is insertion without damage. Again, I think, from my practice and use, the key is "slow and easy and pull out a little if resistance is met and twist a little and push in again" I enjoy a colon tube enema the best after a good cleaning out enema first. very very relaxing and enjoyable.

Here, let me answer the questions that the others missed, Nicole.

The cramps MAY be worse, because there is an object further inside of you. Remember, your intestine tries to push stuff OUT. That’s one of it’s functions. So that means anything inside of you, water, tube, whatever, is trying to get pushed OUT. And, that’s what makes cramps. The holding time should be unchanged.

Next, yes, some large, stiff colon tubes HURT. The small, soft ones DON’T hurt. When something hurts, it’s an indication that your intestine is being stretched or pushed out of it’s normal alignment within your abdominal cavity. I think that a high enema just means that the fluid reaches further into your intestine. You could use a regular nozzle to do that. You don’t necessarily have to use a colon tube to have the water reach deeper inside of you.

And, YES, this is dangerous. I got news for you, and the other beginners here. All of this stuff can lead to serious injury, or even death, if you perforate your intestine or rectum! Think of the skin around a sausage. Parts of your intestine are no thicker than that. Think how easy it would be to poke a sharp object through a thin skin like that. You don’t need a colon tube to hurt yourself, either. You can puncture your rectum with a sharp object that is no longer than a hot dog. So, yes, you do need to exercise care and common sense whenever you insert objects into your body cavities.

Fortunately, almost ALL damage is accompanied by PAIN. Both during the procedure and at the time of perforation. So, if you avoid any serious pain, you will also avoid any serious injury. And, don’t be mixing up crazy enema solutions either. Cause that can cause even MORE damage than tubes! Your colon is like the surface of your eye. Would you really wanna put strong soaps and solutions in your eyes?

Here’s what I would suggest. Go down to the surgical supply store, and buy yourself six feet of soft flexible latex tubing. Get the size about as big around as a finger, and a wall thickness of 1/8 inch. The tube should be flexible enough to BEND when it hits something, but NOT so flexible that it will bend and kink up too easily, instead of threading it’s way inside of you.

Nurse Susie also has some excellent info. (switchablesusie)

Done carefully, colon tube are an excellent way to provide deep colon sensations that both advanced and novice player enjoy very much. And, done correctly, they cause little or no injury. But, like anything else, it takes some common sense and a little care, not force or sadistic behavior. On your back is best. Insert the tube YOURSELF the first time, so that you can experience it without the threat of pain and injury.

Have fun with them. Just avoid any serious pain, and you’ll be fine. Who knows, you may even come to like your new anal play toy!

OK, if you’re an ADVANCED player like Nurse Susie, this won’t work for you. She’s made it clear that she only uses nice stiff colon tubes that pretty much have to come from professional sources. And, that’s fine, as long as you like stiff tubes, which she obviously does.

But, if you want a quick, easy colon tube, here’s how to do it. Go to the SURGICAL SUPPLY store. Say: “I would like some yellow, surgical latex tubing please.” Tell them it’s for non-medical use. Like for aquariums or something. Tell them you want it about as big around as your finger, with a WALL THICKNESS of 1/8 inch (or 3/32). Get 10 feet or so. Get some of the smaller sizes for bondage and stuff. Or spankings. Or, inflatable devices. Don’t forget BARBED CONNECTORS while you’re there. I spend hours making KINK toys.

Here’s the brand that I use: http://www.kentelastomer.com

Now, take the end, it doesn’t matter which end, and cut it STRAIGHT, not angled or chewed up. Use medical scissors. Next, get a spoon, preferably a tablespoon, with a metal handle, not a wooden one.

And, also get some rubbing alcohol. Dip the end of the tube in the alcohol. This is CRITICAL. You MUST make the end all slippery with alcohol. Now take the end of the spoon and push the END of the tube, INSIDE of itself. You want the END SEAM on the INSIDE, not the outside, where it will catch on the intestine. The end of the tubing needs to be DOUBLED INSIDE of itself, for a length of perhaps ¾ of an inch. You want the shortest double-layer possible, because you want to keep the end FLEXIBLE. And, doubling the wall thickness makes it rigid. Remember, the end of the tubing goes INSIDE of itself. You want the SEAM (rough end) on the INSIDE!

Now, cut the side port. Use sharp scissors. The side hole should be slightly smaller than the size of a pea. Don’t make it too big! Or else, the tube wall will be compromised, and it will KINK and BEND OVER inside of you, instead of going in nice and straight. If you screw it up, just cut it off and start over!

I put a micro vibrator in the end too, because I work with new girls a lot. I can turn the vibrator on for just a second, and feel her abdomen. I can feel EXACTLY where the end of the tube is, and massage it through any colon muscle rings, if it gets caught.

I can take a brand new little girl, and work the thing clear up to her appendix in 10 minutes. While she lays there panting and groaning in embarrassment/excitement.

Oh, use cooking oil to lubricate the colon. Not a LOT! An ounce at a time, and only when it gets stuck!

Here’s some more colon tube advice that I sent to a girl today.

First, make sure that you are using the right size tubing. I use 3/8 INSIDE DIAMETER, with a WALL THICKNESS of 1/8 of an inch. The tube is slightly bigger around than your finger. The brand that I use is called KENT LATEX. It comes in 50 foot rolls, and the size is clearly marked on the side of the box.

Don’t get giant tubing. You’re still a little girl yet, so stay away from the giant stuff. Also, a WALL THICKNESS of 3/32 is slightly softer, and will flex more easily. Try that too.

Next, make sure that the end seam is pushed INSIDE the end of the tube, NOT OUTSIDE. Use the alcohol, like I said. When you get done, your tube should be completely smooth on the end, with a smooth rounded tip that will not catch on your intestine.

Make the side port small, smaller than the size of a pea. Cut it carefully, with sharp scissors. Put just the very edge of the side of the tubing in the scissor blades. As a beginner, practice cutting the side port BEFORE you even make the rolled end. Once you are good at cutting tiny side ports in your tubing, then cut off all that practice tubing, and start making your colon tube.

OK, now once you have a workable tube, get some cooking oil. The cheapest brand is fine. Get a bulb syringe and a small funnel too.

Now, insert the tube into your rectum, and advance it as far as it will go. Then, stop. Next insert the funnel into the end of your tube, and pour in a few ounces of oil. You should NOT be hooked up to the enema bag yet. Just insert the plain tube, DRY, into your rectum.

OK, now, once you have poured a SMALL amount of oil (a shot glass full) in the funnel, hold the tube up and let the oil trickle down through the tube, and into your rectum.

Lie on the floor, flat on your back. You can lie near a wall, so that you can put your legs up against the wall, if you need to.

OK, now that your rectum is filled with oil, pull the tube BACK slightly, and try to insert it further in. Because BOTH your rectum and the tube are slippery with oil, it should go in smoothly. If it catches on anything, pull back and wiggle it around a little.

In no time at all, you will feel the tube making it’s way up your left side, above your hip bone.

Push your fingers gently into your abdomen, and you will actually be able to feel the tip of the tube. Massage it around, when it gets stuck on something.

Add more oil every foot of insertion, or when the tube is stuck.

You’ll feel the tube slide all the way up your left side, right below your rib cage. Then, it will turn, and slide over to your right side. That area is the hardest part, because the intestine runs along your liver.

Massage the tube. Use oil. And, gently push it further in.

It will go all the way down to your lower right side, right above your hip bone. Now, you are at the end of your large intestine, right near your appendix! For now, don’t go any further.

OK, another thing that will help is to take a douche bulb and remove the white nozzle. Screw in an enema plug with a connector for a hose.

You wanna be able to squirt big puffs of air through the colon tube.

That will do two things. First, it will push the oil inside of you. And second, it will make a sound and you’ll feel pressure from the air inside of you. You will be able to push on your belly, and feel EXACTLY where the tip of the tube is inside of you. Push in your belly with your hand, as you squirt the air. You’ll FEEL it!

When you feel the end of the tube, massage it around, as you gently advance it inside of you.

Don’t pump yourself full of air, and try to hold it. Pull the squeeze bulb out of the colon tube, and let the air come back out.

A big puff of air will also help to get the tube unstuck too, because it will blow up the intestine at the area where it’s stuck.

Remember, use the air squeezes to FIND the end of tube inside of you. Also to push the oil into you. And, last to blow up the intestine, so that the tube gets unstuck.

The squeeze bulb should be BIG, at least as big as a douche bulb.

Next, cooking oil will SOFTEN your tube. A brand-new tube is a little stiff. Soak it in oil, to make it softer!

Work the tube gently in until your air puffer tells you that it’s right at your appendix. Go on the internet, and look at a diagram of the large intestine.

Once the tube is in, tie it to your leg, or your ass, right near your rectum. You can use surgical tape, or a latex band, like they use for drawing blood.

I like the latex band, because it doesn’t leave residue on the colon tube, like tape does.

Now, with the tube tied tight and inserted all the way inside of you, you are free to start your enema. Keep the tube in, and expel around the side of it. The tube can stay in until you’re done with the enemas.

Let your intestine expel the tube on it’s own.

If it feels like the TUBE is STUCK inside of you, don’t panic.

That is simply your intestine gripping it, and holding it tight. In a moment or so, it will relax and you can slide the tube back out.

You always want to avoid any pain as you insert the tube. A little bit of pressure or minor pushing is OK. But, DON’T push hard and cause severe pain or anything. You should NEVER feel more than gentle pressure inside your intestine as you insert the tube.

Lube it up with oil. Squirt some air. And, do massage. DON’T force it in when it hurts. Instead, it should slide in gently!

Take it easy, and have fun!

Once you get the colon tube part down, you can place a miniature vibrator in the end of it. Now, you can easily feel the exact location of the tube, just from the vibrations.

I’ll explain that part later!

And then, I'll explain how to make an inflatable RETENTION device that goes around the tube, once it's all the way inside of you.

Now, the end is at your appendix. Plus, the inflation device is in your rectum, sealing any liquid inside!

Best of all possible situations!

I have two very basic rules when it comes to using my colon tubes: 1) go slow and use lots of lube and 2) never force the tube to go where it doesn't want to go.

My tube collection contains three 30 inch tubes; one 38Fr open end, one 36Fr closed end and one 36Fr open end. Achieving a deep insertion is as much a matter of luck as it is skill. I have been using colons tube for 15 years and still find that I can insert the tube the full distance only 20% of the time.

But just use a good lube and never force the tube...and you'll enjoy enema play with a colon tube.

When I use my tube (a 32 that is 36 inches long) I take a 2 quart first. When done, I get another 2 quarts and SLOWLY insert the tube.

The key is relax and if you meet resistence or pain, stop.

If I have a point of resistence, I release some water, that usually opens the area some and the tube can thenbe inserted more. I usually ( the key word is usually as it is not a contest) can insert the whole 36 inches. Having two quarts that high is great. Very little discomfort if I take my time taking in the two quarts.

I use a colon tube for every enema,mine are homemade from pure gum rubber tubing purchased from a surgical supply store for 1.25pr ft. I make it five ft long and turn the end outside in about an inch,then cut a small side hole about an inch from the end.

The key to inserting the colon tube is first take a couple of clean out enemas to clear the colon of any blockage.Lube the whole tube then insert the tube into your rear, un-clamp to let the water flow as you slowly push and twist the tube.If you should feel resistance,there is most likely a bend,so now pull out the tube a little to get it straight again then twist and push back in ever so slowly until you have reached your goal.It takes practice.If the colon tube is new,soak the tube in very hot water to soften it up a little,the tube will make the bends around the colon a lot easier. Let the good times flow.

A larger colon tube may indeed be harder to insert. Stick with the "middle" sizes and try grunting or coughing when the tube becomes difficult to insert. This action helps shake the colon wall enough to allow the tube to pass

The best advice I can give is to just take it slow and easy. You will probably not get complete insertion most of the time, but that is ok. Enjoy anyway......

First time user of a Colon Tube. What is the best way to go about the insertion of the tube. How do you know that everything is going correctly? What is the best French size to go with at first. What would be recomended open or closed tube? Information Please. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

The best ones are the most flexable. If latex isn't an issue, try a 3/4" O.D. latex tube with the end bent back into itself to form a blunt tip. If there is room left for fluid passage, you may not have to put holes in the side. I know this sounds daunting, but using the flow to open the colon ahead of the tube will get the job done. Cleaning out is a must beforehand considering the size of the tube. 60" insertion is possible!

I have only used red rubber colon tubes. My set consists of a 32 fr, 36 fr colosed end, 38 fr, and a 40 fr. I prefer to give myself an enema with a colon tube and use lots of lube as well.

Astroglide seems to work best, but the last two mornings I've used a new lube. It's called WET, Premium Body Glide. This new lube is silicon based and, since it's not water soluable, it lasts quite well. I picked it up at an Adult store and think it might be good for lubing the tube--as well as the butt hole. However, it doesn't have quite the slick feeling that Astroglide has. (Astroglide is very much like "pre-cum" but I don't think anything can top "pre-cum"--it's the real thing!)

I'm wondering how this new lub would work with a silicon colon tube. Might have to try one.

Thanks for the info. Have you ever tried one? I'm wondering if they have enough resistance to keep from folding or coiling and if they have enough rigidity to "find their way" to the end.

Good advice so far. To use little jerks is far better than turning the tube back and forth. Large tubing works beautifully as long as it is flexable. The chances of it looping back on itself are far less than a thin tube.

Rojo enterprises--but be aware that they only sell rubber. Health and Yoga, I think, has silicone.

Colon tubes.....now there's something that on my list to try. Maybe someday I'll find an experienced partner.

Have tried but so far have unsuccessful in getting past the first turn pass the rectum.

Keep running the water periodically as you advance the tube. If it kinks up, the water won't flow as fast (or at all). You can usually feel the water flowing through the tube from the bag if you pinch it between your fingers. A flow meter, available from Beth Tyler or Optimal Health Network will show you how fast the water is running, but is pretty pricey. A good (aren't they all?) SSE cleanout first makes it easier to insert the tube 'way in, and also minimizes the mess when you pull out the tube.

When I first started using colon tubes,I began with an 18 inch red colon tube from a surgical supply store. As times went on and I got use to the short colon tubes, I purchased some longer ones. Right now, I don't use the regular red colon tubes anymore because they are too stiff to work very far into the colon without thinking, instead, I make my own colon tubes from pure gum rubber tubing that can be purchased by the ft. I make the tubes about 5 or 6 ft long.I can push the tube into me about 36 to 46 inches depending on how well the colon is cleaned out. Let the good times flow.

I bought my colon tube and received it a short time ago. I wasn't sure how to use it. I went with the recommendations from this web site and it went very well. Everyone said take it slow and your body will tell you what to do. They were correct. I purchased a 32 fr. tube and tried it. Wasn't really shur what I was doing. This tube was 3' LONG and I got it in at least 24 inches the first time. Everything went well. I used a Dr. Bonners Soapy solution with 2-2quart bags connected and all went in much to my supprise. Take your time and listen to your BODY. Again thank you ENEMA 4 FUN.

My colon tube lies to double over after about eighteen inches of so is inserted.

Does any one else have this problem? How do you fix it?

You need a fatter stiffer tube (I have a strong preference for fatter stiffer tubes over soft ones), and/or better internal tube guidance (abdominal massage), and/or to be cleaned out better before you try for a deep insertion, and/or to have more water inside you before you try for deep insertion, and/or to be more relaxed when you insert the tube, and/or to be more knowledgeable of your colonic anatomy, and/or to have a partner help you to insert the tube.

I don't like soft tubes because they have a tendency to kink and fold over on themselves, but I am clearly in the minority here with that preference. I like the red stiff 48Fr tubes from England--10 to 20 years ago-- that they no longer make, unfortunately. The red rubber tubes they make today are too soft and flexible. 3/4" to 1" outside diameter silicone tubes with 1/8" to 3/16" wall thickness are also fun. They don't kink at all, you can guide them very well by massaging your abdomen, but you MUST know what you are doing and where the tube is supposed to go. You have to know what you are doing with stiff tubes because while you can guide them more easily in my opinion, you can also do more damage if you are careless.

Remember, the water always gets up higher than the tube, so while a deep insertion is a lot of fun, it isn't necessary for a good clean-out.

Another thing you might try is a lube thats a little more resistant to water. Inject KY after a good clean out then "lube the tube" (I'm a poet) with Avon silicone glove or Ponds cold cream and let a little water in as you work the tube up inside you. turning and pushing in and out as you work deeper is another way of getting by the kinks. Good luck... if it hurts its wrong...if its a little uncomfortable keep turning and trying

Since I don't know what kind of colon tube you have, I can't give an exact answer for your situation, but, I can give you a few tips for what I have done with many differant type of colon tubes over the years.

The red rubber colon tubes usually are very stiff when new, it takes a long times to soften them up. Soaking them in hot water will do the trick. As soon as the tube cools down though,they will stiffen up again. If you use any kind of oil with your enema, those red colon tubes will soften up so quickly and will eventually kink inside the colon.

I use pure gum rubber tubing to make my colon tubes. You can buy it by the foot for about 1.25pr from a local surgical supply store right off the roll in any length. When choosing your tubing, you need about 1/8inch wall which will be soft enough to make the bends in the colon but, will not kink as you push the tubing further into the colon .

The newer silicone colon tubes are very good too, they are soft but don't kink easily. I made a colon tube out of silicone gasline tubing 5/16 ID. This product was a little stiff but it worked into the colon without kinking. The only problem, I could not round off the end smooth enough, I could feel burrs that were not very comfortable, so I stopped using it, I went back to the gum rubber tubing.

I believe the tubing you are using is too soft or the wall is too thin.

One more thing should be mentioned, if there is a blockage of waste matter in the colon, your tubing could kink no matter what kind of tubing you have, so be sure you do a couple of clean-out enemas before attempting to push a colon tube too far.Let the good times flow.

You are probably at the sigmoid flexure, when the tube starts to kink. With a colonoscopy, the doctor will sometimes have an assistant press on the left upper quadrant of the abdomen to help the 'scope move on. Try lying our your back, pushing gently on the tube and at the same time massaging your abdomen with a circular motion, starting down low on your left side, up and over to your right side. Often you can feel the tube move along with the massage. Use only gentle pressure on the tube, otherwise it'll kink. And too, you can't always get the tube in all the way--why, I don't know. Sometimes a small, really soapy enema will "lube the tube" on its way. Having the bowel as empty as possible is a prerequisite.

The closed end colon tubes seem to go in a lot easier than the open ended ones.

I prefer a long high enema tube--if it works. For several years I successfully used a tube I made, with a very safe 7/8" round ball at its end, and I could feel it go around the colon corners, up the descending colon, across the transverse colon from my left to right, and down the ascending colon. I got excellent results from such enemas. But a couple years ago, that became impossible: I simply could not work the tube around the curve of the descending colon to the transverse. I finally discarded that formerly successful home-made colon tube, and bought (from Optimal) an expensive silicon colon tube, 48" long, 42 Fr. size with a rounded end for safety. Result? --exactly same failures as before! After a great many but totally unsuccessful attempts, I've given up on colon tubes. Fact is, I get equally good remedy of constipation simply by taking, patiently, very large enemas (bench-mark: 6 quarts) that get just as high up in the colon and thus the same good results.

I just purchased a 30" 32F colon tube, am working on learning to fully insert it, any suggestions would be welcome

Hi, have you tried your colon tube yet? was it enjoyable? I just purchased one I think it is 15 inch and can not wait for it to get here.

T.F.

1. Just relax

2. Insert colon tube slowly, with brakes

3. Push the tube during water filling

4. Remember, isn't nessesery to push all colon tube inside!
