Has anyone ever received the long slender suppositories instead of the short ones?

Has anyone ever received the long slender suppositories that are typically given to children when they were expecting the shorter torpedo style one given to adults. to me it seems like the insertion of the longer slender ones would be more difficult to do.

The idea of receiving “long slender suppositories”, would have been common many years ago when the children's glycerin suppositories were actually long and slender, possibly at least 2 inches long. I don't think they would have been particularly difficult to insert. In the USA, today's children's suppositories are only about 1.25 inches long at the most, and quite small in diameter. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. I have two samples here, a Fleet Pedia-Lax, and a generic pediatric brand that are really minuscule compared to the children's version in the 60's and 70's, which came in tall cylindical bottles, often dark blue in color.. I never received a long slender one by surprise.

The long slender ones were still the standard pediatric version in the 1960's. I think the shape was meant to allow sticking one up a baby's bottom while maintaining a grip on it. Sometime around 1966 I read about suppositories in a medical book and had to try them. I worked up the nerve to shoplift a jar of pediatric and a jar of adult ones. Using an adult one on myself was wonderful. Such a deliciously strong urgency and a thorough evacuation! Then I used a pediatric one on my little brother and he loved it too.

The long, slender suppositories were intended for use on infants and young children. The idea was that the usual kind of suppositories required the giver inset their (adult) finger into the child's rectum to get the suppository up into them. Not to cite the obvious,but kids have small assholes.

The long, slender suppositories were designed to avoid adult finger insertions.. I've seen videos that show this. The kid was generally positioned on their back on the mother's lap on a diaper, legs raised and ankles held by the mom. The end of the suppository was then held in a tissue and inserted, then often moved in and out to intensify the laxative effect. The kid usually pood onto the diaper within a minute or so. I think it probable the laxative effect was a lot stronger than a bullet style just inserted.

The glycerin suppositories I was given (and played with) as a child included the long slender variety, but they were inserted all the way. I guess they don't make them anymore.

I'm not sure if the long, thin ones are still available or have been replaced by the PediaLax Liquid Glycerin Applicators (which, I suspect, have a significantly more powerful laxative effect). The applicator nozzle is about the same size as the suppository was.

I prefer the longer ones. I kind of like the way they burn. I’ve used suppositories with rectal thermometers a few times, because I wanted to duplicate some soreness, that I haven’t felt since I was a toddler. As an adult, I can barely feel the thermometer in my ass. I miss that.

I have yet to experience suppositories hoping to find some one who can administer some day
