Hold Time

It does depend on whether I used Ivory soap or baking soda because I can't hold Ivory for nearly as long. In general I try to hold for about 10-15 minutes but the sign that I've held long enough is when I can't curl my toenails any further. That's when it is time to move to the potty.

@Emom,

I always enjoy your posts but somehow missed the detail on this one until today. I’m just curious since I do a lot of toe-curling during enemas too. Does that mean that after your 10 or 15 minutes of holding you’ve already curled your toes so far to help with cramps that now without being able to curl further the cramps are too difficult? Or it’s not about cramps? Thanks,

I hold a soapy enema for at least ten minutes, up to 15, occasionally 20.

Enemas of sugar solutions (glucose, fructose, sucrose, golden syrup) I hold for at least 30 minutes, occasionally as long as 60, until cramping has started in earnest.

I no longer take molasses enemas (whether with water or milk) as they started giving me unpleasant allergy symptoms.

I can't hold a quart longer than 5 minutes, even with practice!

@one_eyes,

Just curious. Not counting molasses anymore, but why do you put any of those other sugars in your enemas? Thanks,

Hold time for me is about 10 minutes. Whether I'm doing a soapy enema or a rinse, 10 minutes seems to work well for me. And during a typical session, I'll space my enemas out anywhere from 30-45 minutes. So, for me, an enema session is likely to last all morning. I recall a contributor to another enema site years ago always quoted, "It's an enema, not a race". And that's the advice I've followed for many years!

Have fun and play safe!

My hold times vary depending on how full and impacted I may be. On average, suppositories 10-30 minutes, plain water enemas (warm but not hot water) 10 minutes or less, water with baking soda 10-20 minutes, water with soap 5 minutes tops

Lately I can only hold for 5-10 min if that long/

15-30 minutes usually

Depending on what I’m using for solution and how many enemas I’ve taken

Usually by 3rd 30 minutes is the best for me
