Quick and dirty fix would be to slip the tubing over the connector and then cinch a Ty-Rap (some folks call 'em zip ties) around it. Make sure that the Ty-Rap is in one of the grooves in the connector.

I can try that but I’m a bit concerned because the 2 junctions where the tie would be often rest up on my upper thigh or groin as I’m filling and holding or rest down between my legs where it may be under my thigh. The zip ties often have a substantially sharp end where you cut the band off just above the locking hub. Any way to smooth that sharpness off?

I actually do not leave the inflation bulbs attached. I use two tubing clamps, the same plastic ones on the regular enema tubing. I place them just ahead of the inflation bulbs, inflate, click them shut, and then take the bulbs off. Easier to move around, nice to use in the shower and not worry about destroying the bulbs.

Then wrap the ties with electrical tape.

I always cut the tail flush with the surface of the locking hub, and I use a flush cutting wire cutter. That eliminates the “V" shaped end on the tail. If there's still a little bit exposed, just hit it with a piece of sandpaper and it should smooth right out.

Several tuns of tape dental floss, tied tight, should work

@ericmason:

So simple …… get some heat-shrink tubing and cut a piece off. Then slip it over the inflation bulb outlet and apply heat.

Perfect!!!!

@Sean,

You’re not talking about wrapping around a zip tie, right? Wrap the tape floss directly around the metal end of the inflator connector, then insert it, now slightly thicker, into the latex tube end? Thanks,

Eric

@jonormal,

So then the shrink rap enlarges the metal end which goes more securely directly into the latex tubing, right? Thanks,

Eric

Yes … exactly.

No. I'm talking about slipping the rubber inflation tube over the nipple of the inflation bulb then wrapping the floss over the rubber… like the ziptie, but a different material.

@Sean,

Ahh, okay, got it now. Floss wrapped around compressing the latex onto the inflator nipple instead of a zip tie. While I was writing this question about the inflators dislodging, so far I’ve had one real enema through the new DBC. I switched one of the new inflator bulbs for an older one which fit more tightly into the tubing end. I was able to take and hold 3 quarts for 30 minutes with both inflators staying put. But I still plan to use one of these techniques you’ve suggested to be sure about the connection.

Thanks for the good ideas,

Eric

I use plastic clamps to prevent deflate balloons.

I've had to use zip ties on a DBC from them too when the glue wore away after time, I just cut it as close to the block as possible and dint have any issues with it scratching. I think I prefer the Rusch version as the balloons are closer together, although having both so you have a choice is nice!
