Enema bags of different volume

Growing up with chronic constipation meant frequent enemas from my nanny using a 2 quart bag. I was big for my age and proud that I could take the entire bag as I got older and my nanny was pleased with the results. One summer I was staying at a friends lake house for a week; my friend’s mom Amanda was a nurse and she assured my nanny that she could give me an enema if needed and that she had the necessary equipment (an enema bag, Ivory Soap and glycerin suppositories). My nanny gave Amanda a detailed account of just how to clean me out if needed. Well, after 3 days of not pooping, Amanda announced that I would get an enema. She was so nice and gentle; she inserted the glycerin suppositories and proceeded to mix up a big pitcher of soapy water. She asked me how much soapy water I could take and I proudly replied that I always got the whole bag. She remembered that’s what my nanny told her so a full bag it would be. She filled her enema bag to the brim and hung it from the towel bar. My suppositories caused me to have a small BM but it wasn’t enough so I was over her lap getting the enema without delay. I started to get really full and was sure that my enema would soon be over; but when I looked up at the bag it was still about ⅓ full. That enema bag was the biggest one that I had ever seen; I later learned that it held 90 oz (almost 3 quarts) not the 2 quart bag that I was used to. I was really cramping and Amanda asked if I had had enough and I said yes! I hopped up onto the toilet and had a tremendous BM. Amanda said that I would need another enema but that I would only get a partial bag, The second enema was easy and about the 2 quarts that I normally got at home. I never knew that different bags held different amounts; my nanny and Amanda made sure that my future enemas from the 90 oz bag were only 2 quarts.

Bag sizes can vary a lot. My mom once had a white bag that must have held 3 quarts. There was a time when drug stores sold bags that only held 1.5 quarts. I wonder if that was because lawyers decided 1.5 quarts was the maximum safe limit. I've measured all my bags now because looks can be deceiving. Most of my bags are 2 quarts but my favorite is a silicone bag that holds nearly 3 quarts. Beware of Liters. A liter is a little more than a quart and some bag sizes are given in liters. For years my favorite bag was an amber latex one that held 2 quarts when it was new. As it aged it stretched and I was taking 3 quart enemas without knowing it. One day when I was filling it in the sink it just kept expanding like a balloon. It ripped open when I tried to pick it up. You can get a great enema from any size bag. If it doesn't hold enough you just have to refill it.

I/we have them.from 1500cc to over 4qts when topped off. We have bulb syringe that look like oversize grapefruits when filled. No clue to the actual volume except it is a filling when filled with wine!!! Will hold a .750 bottle!!!

Went from getting a red 4 oz. over the lap bulb to walking into the bathroom, to seeing a red 2 quart hanging on the towel bar waiting for me, as my Mom was in the same place seated on the closed toilet seat with the red hose / black nozzle in her hand. She told me that I was a “ Big boy ” now, and got the biggest soapy enema that I ever got. Cried and put up a fuss during these, but after around 12, I started to * sneak " then when by myself when these stopped.

Later found other's ( M - F ) who enjoyed enemas and the sexual feelings these produced.

Amount ????? When your full, your full. Unless you get / give a DBB.

Some personal history: Started using enemas at 14 while living with my grandmother. The bag was an open top 2 qt bag, also in the bathroom closet was a 3qt open top BF Goodrich bag both were red. When I turned 16 I started using the 3qt bag but it took a while before I could manage 3 qts comfortably. When I went off to college I got my own 2qt combo syringe which I used for years, when I felt the need I'd just add more water as the bag emptied. In my twenties I purchased another 3 qt bag which also lasted for many years. In my mid thirties, after acquiring some kinky friends that also indulged in enemas, I started taking a series and purchased a black 4qt Klystra bag. Then I got married - he was fine with enemas and the equipment I used. As time went on I purchased a 6qt amber bag with a wide screw-top, not that I could manage more than 4 qts but it was nice not to have to refill the bag when doing multiple smaller enemas. When I met Barb - over 20 years ago she had her own 3 qt amber latex bag - a great general purpose bag.

My recent favorite purchase was an OHN [Optimal Health Network] 5 qt all silicone bag with double eyelets - this thing is great - I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one.

My enema bag history at 17 starts with a Davol Comfy 2 qt. my mom had for douching. My 1st purchase was the classic pink 2 qt. bag at Rexall. Then the combo closed top that thanks to Darlene Holloman, I would fill up to capacity with the siphon method. I saw an amber bag open top set at a pharmacy that to this day I wish I'd bought. I got a 4 qt. black rubber bag from Klystra that I still enjoy. Just last year I updated to a 3 qt. OHN silicone bag that I just used. I'm always looking for new ways to fulfill my enema kink so bulbs, Higginson style pumps, Sonatas, Shy douching sets, clear hospital bags and buckets are methods that I've tried. Wet kinky enema play is something I accept and love about myself.( I used to play with my mom's douche bulb, red rubber, black nozzle and red rubber safety tip when I was in kindergarten.)

I remember seeing a 1 quart red enema bag (or hot water bottle ?) in my neighbor buddy's bathroom. It had a (back view) of a nude Cherub embossed in the center of the bag. What this smaller bag was used for I don't know..my buddy's “reports” on enemas he got..were strictly with the 2 quart Kantleek enema bag…

I've done separate postings on each of these before.

In the order of first use:

1 Imp QT HWB style bag

2 us qt HWB style bag

2 imp qt HWB style bag

4 us qt open-top bag

3 us qt HWB style bag

It's that 3 us qt bag that i use for most of my enemas today

My first enema bag was 2L blue open top bag.

After that I bought 2L red hot water bottle.

Now I have 4L silicone open top bag, but use not often.

Typical enemas do from 2.5L single use bags.

They are compact to store.

I started with cheap drugstore bags in the 90s, the pink latex douche bags that broke easily, and the 2.5qt hospital style PVC bags. Those were my favorite back then, and the flow was so fast due to the wide barium tubing. Once I moved out, I got a rubber 4qt Klystra that was great. It took me a long time to work up to 4qts, as I didn’t really work on volume training until I moved out.

Years later still, I picked up a JBL Klystra and 4qt Silicone Klystra bag. I could take the most from the JBL, about 4.5qts. For some reason it always seemed easier, as has been discussed here before. Now I have a couple of OHN 5L bags that actually hold a bit more than that, and an OHN ”3L” that actually holds exactly 4L when filled to the brim. That is my “daily driver” and I can take 4L on the first in a session now any time, any place. About 3.5L feels the best to me now though, full without feeling stuffed, which is what I crave most of the time. I’ve taken a bit over 5L before on a handful of occasions, and it’s a different feeling for sure. Have to be prepped right and really clean already, but I think there is something to be said about being just completely filled. I’ve read the stuff around Kellogg and how anyone can take 6 quarts, and I’m not sure if that’s really true — it took years of practice for me, admittedly with that not being the goal 99% of the time.

I also have some ”camp shower” bags that hold something like 5 gallons, and I’ve used those for colonics to great effect, plus a couple of other large ~6L bags designed for water filtration / storage that work great for enemas, e.g. the Katadyn Base Camp Pro 10L.

I first realized enema bag sizes can be deceiving, as a young teenager. My girlfriend, thanks to my sister, asked if I would giving her a couple of enemas for period cramps an I replied, “sure, as long as you return the favor.” The first few times we swapped enemas, we did them at my house using our family closed top bag. When we swapped enemas at her house for the first time, we of course, used her families closed top bag. I followed our normal routine, give her first a soapy then a rinse enema. Once hers were complete, she gave me a soapy then a rinse enema. It was nearing the end of my soapy enema that I realized, something was different. I was getting fuller than I normally would, but was able to finish the bag. And It happened again during my rinse enema, that same fuller than normal feeling. After I finished on the toilet, I got curious an opened the linen closet and checked the box their closed top bag came in. Too my surprise, it was a 2 ½ quart bag, not a two quart bag like we used at my house. I mentioned this to my girlfriend and she commented, “that’s why it was easier at your house. I didn’t know there was a difference.” To which, I replied, “neither did I.”

I always used to use 2L bags, got a 3L bag from medtech bag and never looked back. I cant always take it all but the thrill and look of the 3L is great.

I got my enema start, at five, with about a pint out of (I believe) a one quart bag. By the time I was seven, I could take the whole bag with no problem. In the many years that have passed, my bag is a gallon open top, which seems to be just right. I've taken as much as five quarts, but with four, I can comfortably hold and enjoy for up to an hour.

@Rick6981 - And what we all want to know, of course, is what followed the enemas….other than a 2 ½ qt dump!!??

@waterbottom I got my enema start, at five, with about a pint out of (I believe) a one quart bag…

One qt bags are very rare…

@reddevil:

I think that the bag was probably a douche bag designed to be carried in a purse, for “on the go” use. We used a quart juice jar to fill it, and as I recall, pretty much filled it. I could only take about half of the water, so thus the estimate of a pint. The one big thing that wasn't thought of was “now I'm full, where do I get rid of the enema?”. We were playing in a garage, and the house was quite a way away. The end result was less than satisfactory, but the next time, we brought a bucket along.

@duhwizzard said,

That’s easy… My girlfriends younger sister asked for a couple of enemas and big sister took care of her.

Like most of us, I have more than one bag. I have favorites for different purposes and particularly like the translucent silicone bags I've purchased recently. I use the disposable Fleet 2L bags for things like coffee when I don't want to stain my other bags, or these are great for travel. I also have a white 5 gallon bucket I use for ‘colema’ colonic purposes. While I have a professional colonic machine at home, we sometimes do cleansing weekend a hotel or VRBO and I have a lightweight plastic board we use for irrigations. http://www.enemainfo.com/images/content/colema1.jpg

My biggest bag holds more than 7 liters! Many years ago, I found it on ebay. It was announced as a horse enema bag, and also came with a very long tube and oversized nozzle. You can find pictures of it in my gallery.

Of course I can't take the full bag, but just the sight of the bag filled to the brim is a big turn on for me. I would love to connect 2 hoses to it with a Y connector and make two people finish the bag. I gladly volunteer to be one of them, but unfortunately am lacking the other.

I started getting enemas from mom with her 2 qt red Davol bag. I have an exact duplicate for nostalgia reasons. We have 2.5 qt plastic bag, 4 qt silicone bag and a 2 qt plastic can. The can is used for everything, especially coffee as it won't stain. The hose, on the other hand, is brown. We take the 2.5 qt plastic one while traveling as it folds quite small. Love them all…

I bought my first enema equipment at a drugstore in the early 80's when I got a place of my own. It was a pleated open top bag that probably held about 1.5 quarts. I was so happy to have a place of my own and could give myself enemas whenever I wanted to. The latex bag was not very thick, so it finally tore at the top where hook held the bag. From there I got a closed top bag at a grocery store of all places and that bag was made of a very heavy latex. But it leaked when you screwed the hose into the bottom of the bag. I just filled it from the tap, so I never really actually measured its capacity. I think it might have been a 2 quart bag. I used it for many years until I was inspired by members here on zity talking about their silicone bags that had a 1 gallon capacity. I got online and there were lots to choose from. So I ordered a 1 gallon silicone bag from Seeking Health. It is high quality and has never showed signs of tearing.

I usually do 2 quart enemas but if I am doing a series of 3 enemas I will sometimes make the last two 3 quart enemas. For those here on zity thinking about purchasing a new bag, I would highly recommend getting a 1 gallon bag even if you don't do 1 gallon enemas. I never liked filling enema bags to the top because it does stress the bag at the point where the hook attaches. Having that extra capacity is always nice to have even if you rarely fill it to the top. I have noticed that CVS and Walgreens have stopped stocking enema equipment. And if you can find an enema kit on the self in a retail drugstore, the quality is subpar. The online options are far superior and actually quite reasonable in price. So you have to go no further than your laptop to find the best enema kits available and forget about running around looking for enema bags at your local drugstores.
