Bidet with enema function?

I recently ordered a bidet toilet seat. Some of the seats, in particular the BioBidet brand seats, claimed to have an enema function by having a strong enough jet of water which when directed at the anus would effectively introduce an enema into the lower colon. Has anyone had experience with these and can they give an effective enema? The seat I ordered did not claim to have an enema function but I think it would at least be helpful in cleaning up after an enema.

I have an actual bidet and if I turn the water up when using the spray it will go up into my but and fill me up its a great feeling and a good way to take a quick enema

I just bought the BioBidet BB2000. The “Turbo” function is described in many reviews as an “enema” function, and it IS strong enough to penetrate the sphincter if I relax it enough. Less than half the water actually gets into the rectum, but enough to stimulate expulsion. It is definitely NOT for volume, though…

I too have a bio bidet 2000. The enema function really does work. As said earlier here, not much water goes in but it does somehow stimulate expulsion. I love it! Never ending warm water. Heated seat. It also has a blow dry fan which I even use after getting out of the shower. you never have to worry about toilet paper shortages ever again!!!

I have the Toto washlet with integrated bidet. I can't get the water to enter up into my colon, but the water spraying on my anus stimulates any previous enema water out…

We have had several. Replacements when needed. While I love it for clean up and refreshing I do not find the function that you are looking for to be adequate.

FWIW, the BB1000 has a higher water flow (1.2 l/m vs 0.7), and some reviews say its Turbo function is much stronger.

Having tried several different toilet bidets with the enema function, I think the work, sort of.

Essentially, if you have some hard poo blocking your anus and preventing you from starting to go, the enema function will get a few ounces of water in there and lubricate the poo, easing passage. I would characterize the effect like using a squeeze of 4 Oz bulb of warm water to get things going. Likewise, if you're full of marbles, the water jet can help break them up to get things moving. Some of the jets are a bit harsh and can irritate the area.

If you've not had a poo in a week, sitting on a toilet bidet won't get you going. They simply won't replace a real enema, as from a bag or even a Fleet.

FWIW, my guess is the original intended audience is for an Asian woman eating a diet with a lot of rice and low on fiber, who have small, hard poo.

I recently purchased two BioBidet 2000, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Although the enema function is not as good as an old fashioned bag or bulb enema, it is still excellent. It’s a treat to use it, and though I‘m tempted to use it every time I sit down , I don’t . I try to use the posterior function more. That too is a treat. What a great invention. Might buy one more for guests.

Similar to Valleyman, I have a regular bidet. There are different types and some won't put water up your rear but mine will. It is hard to get much up there but I find it great after a poop. Your rear has already expanded and it is easier to get water up it. I shoot some up 3 or 4 times by sitting in just the right position and then relaxing my bum by bearing down. I then squirt out the murky water and do it again. After several times the water is clear. Only the area up to my rectum gets cleaned, not the whole colon as with an enema series. If I don't do this and only use tp I sometimes get “itchy butt”. So I am quite happy having and using a bidet, but don't think of it as a replacement for an enema before a poop.

We have a TOTO S300 Washlet bidet toilet seat. Not advertised as having an enema function. It has five levels of Low and High pressure settings for both the front and rear. Neither is strong enough to inject water up your butt…BUTT, the high setting does force some air into you which stimulates a fart and some evacuation. The farts can be quite extensive if you sit there for a while. The flower love settings are quite enjoyable with the oscillating function turned on. The drying function is worthless.

Here in the UK The Water Supply (Fittings) Regulations cover bidets. Guidance Clause 15.9 states “Bidets with flexible hose and handset fittings and/or water inlets below the spillover level of the appliance, are a fluid Category 5 risk and should not be supplied with water directly from a supply pipe”. Interesting my mother in law had a bidet with a spray from the base as well as a tap but i guess they had that fitted before 1999 when the regulations were published. Both the bidets I've had fitted in my house have had taps only. I believe that you can gain an exemption but this would require the fitting of a break tank.

Not about bidets, but hot tub jets can have a similar effect. Just be careful to hold on until you have climbed out to use the loo!

Well, I am quite pleased that this was the first feed I stumbled upon when opening zity in the wee hours of the morning! I might have to purchase a Bio Bidet 1000 or 2000! The only issue I have though is getting hubby convinced it's worth the investment. He bought an inexpensive bidet system that attaches to the toilet and installed it on one of our toilets but ours are round bowls and not elongated. He said he tried it and because our bowls are round apparently it shot water out all over the bathroom, so he immediately assumed it was a massive failure and removed the bidet! And then went on to tell me how awful it was and that he was going to throw it away! Well, thankfully, I was able to convince him not to throw it away, but that one of our friends might be able to use it… And so now the bidet is sitting on a shelf in the garage in it's original box, a location it has been assuming for the past 2 years… maybe one day I will get brave enough to hook it up when he's out of the house. That might be difficult as he works from home but occasionally he has to run an errand. Assuming I am successful in hooking it up, now that's the million dollar question as he's the more mechanical of the two of us, we will have to warn our guests to position themselves in certain ways so they don't get water all over the bathroom!

I do know for a fact that water being forced out of a small orifice does indeed enter the rectum, and eventually your entire colon. I know this because often times in the summer I will position my anus directly in front of one of our pool inlet jets and allow the pressured water to slowly fill me up to capacity. Don't worry, we keep our chemical levels really low so I'm not terribly concerned about ingesting too many harmful chemicals and I never retain the pool enemas for longer than a few minutes because of the fear of chemical damage. And like others have said earlier, you probably won't get a large volume out of a bidet enema because my experience with taking a pool enema is that it takes quite awhile to fill up, I guess the anus is doing it's best to try to remain functioning as it's designed, it takes quite a bit more effort to get things inserted into the anus than it does when it comes to expelling feces (and water… and semen… and, whatever) out of it… 😃

It would be nice if one of the toilet seat bidet manufacturers will design and market a seat with a bonafide enema or colonic function. From what I'm reading here, the ones that advertise an enema function are a disappointment. To be able to sit down and relax while being slowly filled to capacity with warm water would seem to be quite pleasant and effective. Kind of a modern day advancement to the JBL sit-on bags of yesteryear.

Kyle smith; it would be a lot easier to just install an elongated bowl toilet which would allow the use of your shelved bidet seat…..Installing a toilet is not rocket science and you would enjoy an elongated seat version. Be sure to get the “chair height” version which is built for adults to enjoy.

@redbulb

While I agree the functions you describe would be a good idea, the problem comes with the nozzle. A real enema or colonic requires the insertion of a nozzle. When the enema works, the nozzle is in contact with the exiting poo. This is obviously not sanitary. I suppose such an appliance could be designed to use disposable applicators, but I suspect it would be a msrket failure.

@Sean Wouldn't what you described be like a modified open system colon hydrotherapy chair system? They use disposable nozzles. Sitting up vs laying down. Fill and release….fill and release……..Sort of like Crimson and Clover - do it Over and Over! : Agree, too specialized, probably not marketable.

@gwhap

Essentially yes. There have been a couple of systems such as I described made. They include:

https://www.energymedicinenewportbeach.com/sitolonic-kit

https://www.myperfectcolon.com/care-e-fast

The first uses a bag for the water; the second connects to a faucet. With either, the device is attached to the toilet and the nozzle is attached and lubricated. The user then spreads their cheeks and carefully sits down on the nozzle, which goes in several inches. The water is then started and the person clenches to get filled. When the urge to poo becomes strong, the person just relaxes and poos around the nozzle, which remains in place. The process is repeated and the recipient tries to retain more water on each cycle to cleanse the colon higher.

Each of these products has down sides. The Sitolonic bag does not really hold enough water for a complete session. The My Perfect Colon is connected to the building's hot and cold water, without a pressure balanced mixer. If someone else turns on their water, the flow can become very hot or cold suddenly.

There is also this:

https://www.lifestream.systems/pages/cherubum-enema-douche-kit

Which is a home version of the Angel of Water open colonic system.

Each has it's pluses and minuses, but any will make you poo.

Two years ago, we remodeled our upstairs bathrooms. My wife wanted comfort height skirted toilets, very pricey, and I said that if we do that, we are getting Bidet seats. She argued with me, but it became mute because the plumbing company ordered TOTO toilets with deluxe washlet seats. They are great! Warm seat, warm water, auto open, lighted for night use, deodorized (can’t tell if someone had an enema, or big poop), and yes, they do produce a good bowel movement. Not as good as a soapy bucket, but enough stimulation to get things going. Kind of like when my mom told me that a small bum bulb could start a bowel movement.

It takes a little practice to get the right pressure and angle, but it’s doable. Also, the washing aspect cleans completely, except you have to dry off (it has a warm air dryer, but it’s still more comfortable to use a towel. Occasionally, you get a surprise gush of water and poo after about a half hour, just like after an enema. So, not perfect, but very convenient and quicker than a bucket of soapy water.

I’m waiting for the day that a lady guest will say “I think your toilet just gave me an enema!”

In Argentina, most if not all hostals have European style bidets. I found that I could easily get an enema by sitting inside the bidet with my anus right above the nozzle which sprayed straight up. After filling myself and expelling into the toilet, I would use the bidet to clean myself. I loved the experience and the stream against my anus brought me to many an orgasm. Anyone else experience such a wonderful object?

Apparently, Bidets with an enema & douche function have been around for some time. Google or Bing “Minute Hygiene”. Then switch to photos. Minute Hygiene got a trademark in 1957. The product connected to permanent plumbing.

You can also google ”Enema Bidet”. Several manufacturer. I’m on my iPad so I can’t copy and paste a link.

The Minute Hygiene was not a bidet. It is described here:

https://ibb.co/8N3Hj5q

Essentially it was a plumbed in enema and douche appliance A bidet is a fixture that the user sits upon (or hovers over). The Minute Hygiene was clearly designed to be used on the toilet.

In fact, one was used on me in the 195s. As a child stayed for a few days with a friend of my mom's in her NYC apartment and she was concerned I had not pooed in the strange place. Near bedtime, I was called into the bathroom and mom's friend was sitting on the toilet seat. I was told told me to drop my PJ pants and lie over her knees. Very soon I felt warmth flowing into me and a strong urge to poo soon followed As I was pooing, I saw the little stainless box under her sink, but I didn't open it.

Many decades later, I saw and bought one It is very simple. Just two needle valves, one hot one cold, and a “T” to mix the water flow. The hose reeled up. There were four nozzles, douche, adult and infant enema, and a mini spray rose.

The device had a couple of problems: It needed to be plumbed in to the hot and cold water… quite easy now in the days of flexible water hoses, but not back then. Also, the water temperature was not controlled. This could be a problem in a large building where surge pressure imbalances can happen.

The Minute Hygiene was sold in the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog, but I think it was a market failure. Can you imagine a 19650s housewife calling the plumber to install an enema and douche appliance in her bathroom. They were also expensive. About $100 to $200, as I remember. In those days, a new car was $1000.

Hello Sean. I expected that the Minute Hygiene would be another “rare” device for all the reasons you stated. I never would have expected to talk with anyone who actually used one. Thank you for sharing. I'm concerned about excessive water pressure with such devices. I never cared for the gizmo's that attached to a shower hose and replaced the hand held shower. Even bulbs and gravity pressure can cause injury. Then there's temp. control. Water in a bag comes in at one temp. and stays the same or gets cooler. I wouldn't want to have someone flush a toilet or turn on a shower and get a blast of hot or cold water.

@vallee_2

On the excessive pressure issue, I doubt it's a problem. The water flow rate is controlled by a pair of needle valves which, even if opened fully, still restrict the water flow rate greatly so it's probably not more than an enema bag hung at 5 or 6 feet. Also, without some kind of a retention nozzle, it'd pretty much impossible to over pressure a normal person's colon. Either they start to leak or the retention nozzle pops out. It's only risky if a huge, inflatable nozzle it used.

IMO, the shower shot's are risky unless they are properly designed with the appropriate flow restrictions.

You are correct about a toilet flush, especially those with a Flushometer. Cold is a nasty surprise, but hot can cause injury.

You need a thermostatic valve…

@user264

Of course, but those didn't exist 70 years ago and AFAIK they are not, even now, made in small sizes. The Minute Hygiene was plumbed with ¼" copper tubing. It is unlikely that the ones designed for a shower would work properly at the low water flow rates of an enema/douche appliance.

I've found an actual MINUTE HYGIENE unit in what appears to be good condition with all of the attachments including a medicine cup that may never have been used. I will post photos in the in the album soon. In the meantime, try this link: https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-662744211-antiguo-aparato-para-lavativa-minute-hygiene-aleman-_JM#&gid=1&pid=6

@vallee_2

Congratulations!! A wonderful find!! That's the unit exactly. A real rare item, especially NOS.

A couple of notes:

That specific unit was made in Germany. I'd no idea any were made overseas.

Also, note the two ¼" copper tubes. Those had to be connected to the hot and cold water supplies. BTW, the white disk near the tip of the douche nozzle is the cover on the ‘medication chamber’, designed to hold either a douche powder or some enema additive. Very 1950s.

It's actually pretty cheap… about $90 US. If I didn't already have one, I'd have bought it already.
