Long thin suppositories; were they better ?

When I was growing up in the 1960s, “Infant & Child” suppositories we're long and thin. Many mothers didn't realize the reason why they were "long" was to give them a “handle”, to hold onto with a tissue when inserting, and then we're to be held in place. Most mothers ended up inserting them fully as if they were the thicker shorter adult ones. This “incorrect use” ended up putting a larger amount of glycerin in the young ones rectums than was needed ( making them stronger ), so making companies reduced the size to the tiny bullets they are today.

So the long thin ones were better. IMHO. If mom inserted the whole thing then you were getting a larger dose of glycerin than the young ones are today and if they were used properly, then the holding in place keeps the melting glycerin stick in contact with the anal sphincters as well as the rectal walls. This double stimulation also is stronger than if the suppository was inserted fully. Also too, from reading about soapsticks, the swabbing in and out as the stick is held in place, can add even more stimulation than if just held in place. So I think the long thin suppositories were much better

Wanting some long thin adult sized suppositories to play with I make a foil tube mold by rolling a piece of foil around a piece of tubing a little bit bigger in diameter than a pencil.. ( pencil turns out to be a little too thin / fragile ) to make ,6 to 8 inch long STIX suppository. When over Daddy's lap for her STIX treatment, little one often fusses as Daddy moves the STIX in and out, adding to the stimulation.

I remember my mother inserting the long thin suppositories when I was around 6 or 7 yrs old. As I recall, I enjoyed the feeling as she gently inserted one into my rectum. In my mind it seemed like it was 12 inches long until it finally disappeared inside past my sphincter. Nothing commercially available like that today for the children.
