Do you use a colon tube? Why? Why not?

I bought one about 10 years ago. After trying it a couple of times and after hearing about some of the hazards I decided to not use it. Besides a standard rectal nozzle has given me perfectly good enemas for a lot of years.

Most of my enemas now are solo. I don't use a colon tube because it is just hard to manage when giving to yourself. I have been to one enema nurse in the past who used a colon tube on me several times. She had a collection of larger ones from Silicone Nozzles. I always enjoyed those enemas. For the first one or two enemas I don't think you can beat a double balloon nozzle. After the first two clean out, a colon tube is really nice when a lovely lady is giving me the enema. But unfortunately those days are probably over. I don't know of any site where enema nurses advertise any more and the three enema nurses that I went to the most have quit answering their e-mails. So I think enema nurses may be a thing of the past. If any of you know of enema nurses that are currently doing sessions please let me know.

Most of the time I use colon tubes. I havr many colon tube about 12,20,32 and 36 inches. I like them because I can deliver the solution deep in the colon and the feeling of my colon tube sliding deep make me very excited

Not any more. Due to my inability to grip a colon tube sufficiently to prevent leakage, I use a silicone double balloon nozzle to relax and enjoy. Although it's been awhile, I have used the tube during an enema bath after a good clean out.

I use a SN OF-13-FLY if I want a high, into my sigmoid, herbal enema. I showed this to a very experienced RN who was happy with it. I would not want to go any further.

My wife will use one of her tube to deliver my coconut oil in as deep as possible ones oil is all in up to 60 oz then will give me a 2qt aloe juice to push oil in deeper. Will insert an inflatable plug and have me hold my implant in for 45 minutes.

I use my vintage red rubber 30FR colon every weekend for a larger than normal enema, three quarts instead of two and a half. Otherwise same soap solution, slightly adjusted for the added volume.

This tube is at least 30 years old and is no longer made. It is flexible and easy to insert. I like the sensations it causes as it travels through my colon (both directions) and how it flows the solution. The insertable length is 30” and has a side eye as well as an open but not a blunt tip. It is showing its age with micro cracks at the flared throat. I pair it with my silicone Klystra classic enema bag, which flows faster than the Seeking Health enema bag I use during the week. Those weekday enemas are taken using a silicone-coated latex FR30 Foley tube, which is 15” long.

I tried, but cannot get more than about 20" in me withoit doubling over, coiling up or simply refusing to advance. I have tried every possible body position, letting 2qt of water in to help it along, colon massage to work it around the twists and turns, J-lube, and nothing seems to allow it to follow the colon. I must have a tortuous colon alignment. I gave up and use 24fr 30cc balloon nozzles inserted beyond the sigmoid. That works well for me.

For my enemas, a colon tube is used every single time. It is 16 inches long and always gets fully inserted. Makes it easier to take the enema and hold it for a longer peiod of time.

I do sometimes, I like the feeling of it sliding in deep and filling me from within, but I also like my other nozzles and the colon tube does take longer to use (and doesn't work well on a first enema), so it's kind of a special thing. Also slides out if you don't get it up into the sigmoid or higher.

I've tried it several times, but it's probably not for me. The first time I thought it was just too thick for me. The next one was significantly thinner, but I didn't like the feeling. Even though I put it in full length (50 cm), the feeling is somehow uncomfortable. There's nothing better than a thick but soft silicone nozzle with a safety ball at the end.

A colon tube is a very occasional guest star in my enema activities. As @moliere mentioned, a colon tube only works for a second or later enema, and I only do enema series at the rate of one per day when the first enema has helped but not reset my IBS issues.

My experiences have been mixed. Insertion often feels good, to a point, but depending on where I am with my IBS I meet resistance and need to stop. Maybe only twice have I gotten the tube quite deep and had the iconic colon tube experience of a deep, effortless fill and a whole-colon cleanout.

Once, withdrawing the tube tweaked my vagus nerve and had me shaky and dry heaving, something I didn’t want to repeat.

Others’ posts about colon tubes inserted by a partner sound very hot, but for safety I have the sense that self-insertion is the way to go; it’s possible to immediately feel things aren’t right and back out a little or back off entirely.

Sometimes I will take a regular enema with a colon tube inserted no more than 6 or 7 inches and not try for greater depth but just enjoy that sensation.

I have had only 3 enemas administered with colon tubes. The first was when I had a tonsillectomy around age 8 (circa. 1954). Then I had one during high school from a visiting health nurse and lastly one from a university health nurse. All were female. Those were my favorite enemas and I still get goosebumps looking at pics or videos featuring those old enamel cans with red colon tubes attached. I don't self administer so don't use them. I did learn a lot about the differences between tubes from the above discussions . Thanks.

I have used a colon tube for a number of my enemas but I often have trouble with the tube coiling back on itself during insertion. We have have been successful inserting it I feel the odd sensation of the tube moving by itself during my spasms and contractions as I fill my bowels.

I have a short one, about two foot, but I rarely use it because it is a pain to snake up inside and because there is no retention ball at the end. I have grown extremely fond of nozzles with a retention ball or plug shaped nozzles that I can grip down on. I also love the way they feel inside me.

Yes! I use a 20” 34FR for almost all my enemas. I enjoy the process of working it in slowly and the the fullness delivered high up. I also have a 1” x 14” colon tube from SN but it always leaves me wanting something more on the length. Have tried the 39” long latex tubes from Amazon which is a fun challenge. In the end, though, the 20” tube is what i keep going back to.

I do wish I could find something just a bit thicker in the rubber format. It seems there is a big gap between the 34FR and then the silicone nozzles tubes which are much more expensive and considerably girthier. Any suggestions?

Yes! I wouldn't want to miss them. - Longer tubes are particularly suitable for higher enemas in larger quantities - This reduces cramps during the administration of the enema.

I love a colon tube! Only use it with someone experienced, that knows his craft, usually someone in the medical profession with an enema kink. I like the tube to be threaded in all the way, mine is a usable 30'... only do that after a good cleaning, often laying in the tub in warm water, loving the feel of filling, slowly and fully. I reccomend lubricating the whole length of the tube and I also inject a couple of ounces using a small sirynge directly into the rectum. May be overkill, but all I feel is the warmth of the liquid when it starts to flow in.

I used one years ago and loved the feeling of it slowly working its way around my intestines. it went in all the way first try. It must have been beginners luck because after many more tries I never got it in more than a few inches again. I finally gave up and threw it in the trash.

I have a colon tube. It is 28Fr, about 18 inches long, but I don’t use it often. It is difficult to get all the way in without doubling over. Maybe my ass is too kinky for its own good. And if I do get it in all the way, I have to hold it or tape it or it comes out when I am full.

I have made two custom colon tubes using diving speargun round latex rubber bands. They come in different diameters, the two I have are 16mm and 18mm diameter respectively. They both have a core hole of about 4mm diameter, so the flow through them is slightly constricted, however this can be mitigated by hanging the bag higher or connecting a Higginson squeeze bulb at the inlet.

I 3D-printed and epoxy-coated a nozzle tip for each which is 30mm in diameter at the business end, tapering to the tube diameter over about 40mm. This gives it a sufficiently blunt and large surface area to avoid any chance of perforation damage to any part of the colon wall as it is pushed it in.

Both these colon tubes have an insertable length of 500mm (20") and have an egg-shaped retention cuff 45mm dia at its widest point, on the opposite end. I always had an issue with inserting any colon tube beyond about 250mm (10"), but I get these two go in fully, quite easily. When I hit resistance, I simply start rotating the tube while pushing in, this gets it past any obstacle. The tube diameter combined with just the right balance between bendability and stiffness, prevents the tube from doubling over. It also helps to inject a good amount of ultrasound gel as lubricant into the rectum to start with. Also, letting the water flow once I'm past the rectosigmoid, eases the insertion process further up.

I have produced a number of custom anal tools and nozzles using 3D printing combined with epoxy coating, maybe I should post some pictures in a gallery some time.

It will be great, if you will share files and photos

I have several "colon tubes", but the only one that I really consider "legit" is a 36 inch, 34 fr tube that was probably the first in my collection. It doesn't get used frequently, but when used, it does deliver the goods well into the colon and results in a very thorough clean out. I'm pretty adept at self-insertion, but the most erotic experience I've had with it was when it was inserted by an E-nurse whom I see fairly regularly; she had it up my butt and flowing in less than 2 minutes!! What a gas!!!

I have several colon tubes. I occasionally use them for a large volume enema or an enema series. When taking a large volume enema. I like to take the water in the colon, bypassing water in the rectum when possible. That makes taking and retaining very comfortable. Usually I don't even try to go further than the curve at the top of the descending colon. I have a short home made silicone tube. About 15 inches long and a bit over a half inch diameter. That works well for me.

I have a colon tube, about 1/2" in diameter and 32" long. It's so smooth that it's hard to insert when everything is covered in lube.

What I prefer to use is a "Vibe" nozzle from Silicone Nozzles. It's about 3/4" in diameter and 11" long. I enjoy its' bumps and ridges most of all. That makes it easy to hold, position, insert, and manipulate. The bumps are really fun when inserting or removing.

I love using my 30 inch 32fr colon tube giving myself 2 quart enemas. I enjoy the feeling of passing the tube past my anal sphincter, then releasing the clamp and slowly feeding it deeper into me until it finally bottoms-out. I use a 1 3/4 inch butt plug to prevent leakage, and allows me to lie in different positions for a good clean-out before expelling.

I do have a few - around 36-45Fr and various lengths. I used to like the 45Fr 1m (3 ft) silicone one.

I have stopped using them altogether - first I read on zity about an unfortunate puncture which resulted in one emergency surgery, stoma and reversal after 1yr. Then read up more and realized the risk (to me) outweighs the reward. Finally the hassle of sterilizing the tube after use made me store them in the "has-been" box.

I currently use an inflatable nozzle (also silicone) and enjoy the simplified setup. Getting clear returns may take a couple more enemas, but it's not like I hate the process.

When ever I am doing a series of enemas I almost always use a colon tube for my final fill. This is especially true if that final fill is coffee. I have a wonderful 40 fr colon tube that I utilize and I am able to instill the coffee high up in my colon making it easier to retain for 10 or so minutes.

I love it, have a 36 in. one and took it all in. ...but..... I only did it with a very experienced person doing the insertion. Never do it alone....well, I actually never do enemas alone. I inserted it a few times, have a fairly good hand for it, but I'm leery about hurting someone, need to be convinced. Let say it is not for every day fun and games

I agree with Xperience with regard to the risks in using a colon tube. This is why I am very carful with inserting deeper into my colon, pulling slightly out, adding more water, easy does it for sure. For me, the benefits out-way the risks of an internal rupture.
