Shower Shot .. drain debate..

Ok.. I've been using a shower shot in my shower for awhile now. . Not uncommon for me to dump my entire colon in the shower.. once liquified enough to go thru the strainer (a must.. a bath tub drain without strainer won't work) . I've never had any issues. For those concerned, DON'T worry I just demolished my shower and the drain piping (to move it) and I found NO issues or evidence of waste. If you have been concerned about this issue.. don't be. Shower shot is the way to go IMHO..

Now I'm sad.. because my shower that I could do a shot in is destroyed.. the guest bath … has a tub with no strainer.. SAD FACE..

From a plumbing point of view, a shower and bathtub have the same sized drain pipes, about 1 ¼" or 1 ½" For that matter, a bidet (and all colon hydrotherapy machines) also uses the same sized drain pipe. Hence, if liquified poo drains through your shower, it'll go through the others too. There are drain strainers that can be used in tubs

That said, you may well find that lying on your back in the tub, filling and pooing, is a lot more comfortable than standing in the shower irrigating your colon Odds are the water will go up much higher

Also, many showers have ceramic tile floors, which are a lot harder to clean than a tub Whether you decide to poo in a shower or tub, it needs to be well cleaned and it's essentially impossible not to get soiled water on your feet

I have a stall shower and years ago installed a second shower heads with an extended hose on the wall opposite the original shower head. The second one has a quick connect and I'll attach a nozzle to it. Great to have one shower spray on my body while filling up.

I've been expelling down the drain for years with no clogging issues plus it's great to bed able to clean up afterwards. Most often I'll pop off the drain cover to let things wash down easier.

II also keep a scrub brush on a shelf to clean up the tiles afterwards.

My toilet is next to the bath, and my shower shot has a hose long enough so I can sit on the toilet while using it - and I do use it once in the morning and again once before I go to bed. I would have a big problem if it were not for the shower-shot since I have a very slow colon thanks to the large hernia I have.

I have been using a shower shot for many years. My setup is in a tub shower combination. I removed the drain plug so there is probably about an inch and half wide drain opening for my expels to go down. About an inch and half down in the drain is an “X” type cross piece which the drain plug screws into- that can't be removed. So occasionally some solid poo does stop at this point but eventually goes down once it breaks up.

I totally agree. Laying on your back is far more relaxing and effective for irrigating your colon. My expels run directly down to the drain and I also have a hand held shower head that I use to keep a steady flow of water running towards the drain so the poo is always moving away from me.

Sometimes my sessions will last 30 minutes or more because it just feels so good I can't stop. It's like the old saying goes “you can't eat just one Lays potato chip.” So one fill and expel leads to many more. And as Sean mentioned, disinfecting the tub surface is a relatively easy task once the fun ends. The smooth surface I think is much easier to clean than a tile floor.

@ProV1 Similar to what you noted, my continuous open flow enemas with a shower nozzle are typically something I take standing up, since my shower stall doesn't currently have any comfortable surface to lay down while expelling. I've definitely noticed that filling and releasing while standing isn't as effective as laying down or releasing on the toilet, for whatever reason. It typically will take me much longer in the shower while standing to release a particularly large-volume fill from the shower nozzle, whereas releasing a 3-4 quart enema on the toilet tends to only take 5-10 minutes once I'm all cleaned out. Since I only use the shower nozzle and release in the shower once I'm running clear, I don't usually have problems with the drain, and the most that comes out are light yellowish water or mucus rather than any solids.

I agree that it can feel irresistible! Since getting my 18" shower shooter nozzle from Siliconenozzles I've been spending a lot more time with the length of it in me, running a gentle warm flow of water slowly into my descending. It's an intense rectal and colon sensation, along with feeling my belly filling with more water and the feeling of releasing around a large nozzle.

I don’t have a shower shot, because of back and leg problems, I sit in the bathtub on a shower chair. My hand held shower head can be adjusted to either discharge a spray or for my other purposes, a fairly powerful stream of water. When i choose to have an enema, I position the shower head under my butt and let it rip. It’s an absolutely wonderful feeling when it is positioned just right and the stream of water is shooting directly into my rectum. Usually my release is a quantity of little ‘Turdlettes’ which easily wash down the drain. In the case of larger pieces, I use the end of my dressing stick to break it up into small pieces that will go down the drain or use the stream from the shower head to break it up.

I actually had a long and detailed dream about it tonight LOL

I have never had a problem.

So nice to read that others are okay with releasing in the shower. What I have discovered lately is one of those pump bulbs that I use with a large water bottle. I lay on my back on the shower floor with my legs elevated against the far wall, then slowly fill with the squeeze bulb until can’t hold it in any longer. Then I found that standing up takes a lot of straining and I end up releasing everything there in the shower. Then simply flush the poo down the drain with the shower nozzle. Works so well I don’t even try to stand up now and simply let it go when it wants to. Then I can keep refilling until the bottle empty’s. Because much water has gone way up in me after all that I do need to walk around in the bath a little and then sit on the toilet for a final release.

If have the time will refill that water bottle and start all over, only now is just water that comes out. Great shower time.
