Consensus time: which soap?

What is the consensus, between Dr. Bronner's (or other Castile soap), ivory soap, etc. This possibly should be a poll, but I think I'd like description & detail. 😜😜😜

OK, time to fess up. Mom was an Ivory soap lady…and the enemas of yesteryear (from mom and OTK) were just that from what I can really remember. Once I started “self-administering” I was, for whatever reason, a purist - warm water, and little salt and a little baking soda. This went on for years (more than a couple!!) 'til current times. My routine became pretty predictable…a few bulbs to clean the rough stuff out (making more room for the main course), followed by a couple quarts once or twice. When 2 bags were on the menu, playtime was “between courses”; the solution was always the same…water, salt and baking soda. At some point, I began throwing in a bulb or two of white wine between courses which never fails to produce a really mellow glow. Anyhow, not too long ago, and for reasons totally unknown to me other than just curiosity, I decided to add a bit of unscented Castile to the initial solution (administered by bulb, sometime solo, sometimes by playmate). CONVERT!! I found that the Castile not only produced a very mild and pleasant tingle, accompanied shortly after infusion by the urge to expel, but the result was a very smooth, effortless BM and very little mess/"backsplash"!

I have no desire to play around with other soaps or mixtures at this point…Castile it is!! Oh, I may try a coffee enema one of these days, but grinding, brewing, cooling is time consuming, and I think I'd rather drink it anyhow. Bottom line…ONE VOTE FOR CASTILE!!!

I have used all that have been mentioned. Mom started my enemas before school age with Ivory soap over the knees with the syringe than enema bag later in life till after 21. Still like Ivory soap.

I rarely do soap suds enemas, as I do coffee or tea mostly, but when I do I prefer Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap.

My mom did ivory bar soap, sometimes as a suppository though. I didn't like them and would whine a lot t nhe whole time. Sometimes she would make it into a suppository if she didn't have yime to do an enema. I hated those as she would pushed it in a whole finger length. Once that was done there was nothing I could do about it. I had to sit on the toilet seat and squirm for 15 min while it worked (she had a timer). I would plead for her to let me go, but she would just point to the timer. O would have to go several times from the suppo.

I like DrvBronners peppermint now.

I only use Dr Bonners peppermint soap. It feels and works great and smells good coming out! I love the tingling sensation it has on my hole as it is released.

I like to use Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo it gives a good expulsion when the enema comes out for me. It's not to harsh doesn't cause cramping plus the head to toe version smells really good

My Mom mostly used Ivory Bar soap when I was growing up, stirring it in a pitcher of lukewarm water until the solution was milky with a layer of suds on the surface. One enema with that, held in for 5 minutes almost always caused a forceful, uncontrollable expulsion of poop and brown liquid. As an adult I have sometimes used Dr. Bronners Baby Mild Liquid Castile soap (2 teaspoons per quart of water) because it's easier to mix up and the results are as good as with Ivory Bar soap.

I was raised on Ivory Soap Flakes. They should have had my picture on the box showing a half cup of flakes being dissolved in a pot of hot water on the stove! Oh those powerful enemas made from it!

I've come to love Johnson & Johnson regular baby shampoo for all the reasons stated previously in this topic. Work great!

Doc bronners peppermint, good vleanouteith timglle in your snus when expelling

I have never been a fan of Ivory. I find it quite irritating. For many years my go-to was castile soap, because I read that is what was used in hospitals and that is what came with the disposable bags I sometimes bought. But after reading about it here and trying it, I now prefer J&J baby shampoo. It gives me a good cleaning without strong cramps and the bubbles and smell are pretty good too.

@MoCathDude,

1) Just a query. I like J&JBS for enemas and also straight up/neat from the bottle as a lubricant on plugs and enema nozzles. What do you mean by “the head to toe version?”

2) For me now on about my 55th year of giving myself enemas and enjoying them usually as a sub to my Domme partner when I have her here, it’s usually normal saline, sometimes with up to 8-10% glycerin and sometimes J&JBS or liquid Castile soap of various flavors. Someday just for curiosity I might try some dilute Ivory bar soap.

Dove was a favorite for a bit, but I found out that overuse can cause a bit of nausea which I haven't experienced with Ivory or Dr. Bronner's. Now I use it on occasion for smaller enemas. Dr Bronner's peppermint soap has been the de facto soap for me lately, if only because I can mix it as easily as just squirting some in the bag and shaking it up. The peppermint tingling is incredibly tantalizing too, of course, and it assists in feeling the enema flow through the nooks of the colons.

Reaching consensus is likely a dream, but I'll still cast my vote for two favorite castile soaps – Dr. Bronner's as a liquid and Conti's Castile bar soap with olive oil. When I reach into my fountain syringe and slosh the soap around in the warm water, it gives me a nice feeling of anticipation.

@Cheryl77177 That is my go to soap and have been using it for years. And it's exactly like you said, “It gives me a good cleaning without strong cramps and the bubbles and smell are pretty good too.” Been telling people that ever since I started using it. 😃

Ivory tops my list, then comes (me ha) Dr. Bronner's Castile as well as Peppermint. Also Dove bar soap.

I have recently begun using Shea Butter Body Liquid Gel Wash which is very soft, soapy and sudsy yet mild and produces a thick, white foamy solution. ….michael

@MoCathDude, Thank you - got it. New question there too.
