Let's get rid of Fleet enemas/do it for the environment

I know that most of here on Zity don't really like Fleet enemas. I've read so many posts with all kinds of personal reasons why members prefer the “good old bag” over Fleets.

With the environmental movement underway to get rid of “single use” plastic such as straws, grocery bags etc. why not add Fleet enemas to that list. Just think, we see people in the grocery stores bringing their own reusable shopping bags, why not have a push to bring back the “reusable” enema bag (or can).

Come on Zity members, It's up to us to help save the environment !!!!!!!😘😁

Good idea. As a side note there is a company making condoms out of paper now. So you have to ask whether they want paper or plastic to put it in.

I know your post was meant to be a playful one, but I can't help but think about greater issues.

You see, given how many people seem to be using enemas these days, I'd say that enema users clearly don't weigh as much in the environmental equation than others.

What about cars? Meat production/consumption? People having too many kids (yes, I know it's a taboo subject, but overpopulation clearly is an issue)? Etc. Sorry to be a party pooper…

To party poop your party pooping, discarded fishing nets are the majority of plastic pollution in the ocean, and there's a small number of companies outputting 75% of global pollution.

But yeah, with how uncommon enemas are at in this day, it's really a non-issue, though the disposable single-use stuff sold to us in general is a bit of an issue. But if the average person is getting zero enemas a year, or one every couple of years, Fleet enemas are a pretty low priority.

With about half the country ignorant or anti science you should consider yourself lucky if your left with stewed prunes if you stoke the fires of these banana and giving them ideas on things they should put a stop to .

Let's face it the science behind clean water and air with the big chunks removed is denied by half the country and in the half that is smart enough to believe in it ,probably get it from pipes that contain.lead ,leading to decreased intellectual/Congnitive functioning .

I don't like them, don't use them, don't enjoy them and I do not buy them! I abstain for the environment. My inner colonic environment.

Fleets cannot spread warmth, urgent pressures high inside or leave you with a lovely sense of a well being after glow the way high volume enemas do.

To me it's self abuse with a few ounces versus self love by the gallon.

But I like that my sub doesn't enjoy getting a fleet. The pain while laying next to his Miss….ah heaven. 😄

Hilarious! Let's just keep the Fleets and generics, who knows, even greta might be a closet fan.

Arika's post prompted me to do a little research. See link below for info on sources of ocean plastic pollution.

I doubt enemas are used often enough that disposable ones make a non negligible portion of plastic debris.

Yet, there is something to be said here: why use disposable enemas (which contain chemicals that stimulate the bowels) whereas one can just fill a bag with water? I understand that in a hospital setting, disposable is easier because it removes the need for cleaning etc. (time is money), but at home, a bag is a sure method.

@Pecan_nutjob I use them for a quick “attack” or as a punishment. No prep needed. I just grab, drop the undies, spread the cheeks, insert, squeeze, and then leave.

I just about can't imagine a world without disposable (Fleet style) enemas. I was sort of raised on them, and at times had to get them fairly often. We had a bag while I was growing up, but it was used (on me) a lot less often. I keep a few on hand now.

I started getting enemas mid-to-later 1960's, I believe a few years after Fleet enemas were introduced on the market and probably around a time they began to gain some popularity. The first enema I had was from a bag, and the second one was almost from a bag too but got aborted due to a traumatic fit. Very soon though I was given my first disposable enema. I remember fairly well that I didn't like that option much either, but it had seemed less intimidating and I was more compliant I guess due to that. Less muss less fuss for mom and moms in general I guess.

Keep the Fleet!

Dump the juice!

I dump that disgusting solution out of Fleet bottles and use the bottle for a travel enema. True, it's not as good as an enema bag & nozzle for many reasons, but that cheap soft plastic bottle does job when needed. When empty, the Fleet bottle can collapse quite small. I make a soapy solution in my hotel room, refill the bottle, & give myself several squirts whenever.

Fleet Enemas have their place in the mix!

As I can attest from a recent trip to the beach.

They are not the preferred strategy.

Sometimes, though they are better than the feasible alternative is in that situation!

Dont get me started on pollution , My Generation , the rock & roll generation of peace and love save the planet and fight the establishment has sold out in ways that will make you sick and what we have done to our once beautiful planet is to turn it into one massive garbage dump , the only thing my generation got right was the music , all the rest of society we just sold out and shit on every thing we touched and totally screwed over future generations more than any generation in the past

@Annie2 …Perfectly stated

To answer the question…Fleets are now so well entrenched that there's little likelihood that they'll be removed from pharmacy shelves….Why ?….$'s
