How many bulbs does it take?

I got several bulbs growing up. But curious in your opinion how many bulbs does it take to be effective?

As described, I imagine the treatment was for constipation, so the number of bulbs would depend upon the severity of the impaction and the recipe of the enema with plain water requiring more bulbs than, say, a soapy enema. It will also depend upon the physical size and age of the recipient - a child should require fewer bulbs than an adult.

A comparison might be made with oral laxatives and suppositories. An oral laxative draws a tremendous amount of water into the colon - for me to the tune of about 16-24 ounces (even though directions usually call for only 8-10 ounces of water be ingested with the laxative). When I use a glycerin suppository I end up expelling 8-12 ounces of water with the feces and without drinking any additional water before expelling.

So, my guestimate would be anywhere from one to three bulbs for an adult to clear any impaction with one being sufficient for small children.

I can say from personal experience, 2 or 3 bulbs of warm water held a few minutes will empty the rectum. If you need to be cleaned out all the way up, then obviously much more will be required. I remember that as a child I often got only one or two bulbs, which was actually quite pleasant, and eased the passing of hard poop. I guess that is why I took to giving myself all of these enemas over the years. No trauma here.

Two or three than I want her to rub my butt and tell me what a good boy I am being for her and then……

Sometimes only one. I can usually feel if I need to go but just not ready yet. Often one bulb is all that is required to move things along. I usually add a few anyway just for fun.

For me, volume was a gradual process depending on age. Prior to graduating to the bag, Mom's routine soapy bulb enema sessions were 2 bulbs (8 oz. ea.), expel, then 2 more. My late wife was quite expert with the 8 oz. bulb, administering high enemas of 6 or more along with slow stroking for “effective” results.

I enjoy my bulbs very much! Just recently bought a higher capacity one which had three different nozzles - rectal tube, douche, and larger, longer one which feels awesome and stimulating inside!

Usually about 6 but I don’t seem to get all of the solution out from each bulb. So six might really equal 4

Probably at least 8 when I use the classic feminine douche bulb❤️

Anything over 5 bulbs, it' time to take a hard look at some sort of bag or can.

My mom only ever used a Higginson syringe and as she was giving them to my sister I would count how many times she squeezed the bulb.

When younger it was 20 and after that, she pumped it up to 30 sometimes

I thought this was the classic light bulb joke!

I've done as many as 12 douche bulbs in a single session. It was one of those days when my rectum was as greedy as it's ever been and a single nozzle insertion was not going to cut it. So, I just put my foot up on a stool we keep in the bathroom and refilled the bulb at the sink a dozen times. Each insertion felt oh so good and the forceful squeeze sent the enema solution gurgling ever upward.

After the 12th and final insertion, I removed the bulb and let it refill with air…then I stuck it up into my rectum and squeezed once again, letting a torrent of bubbles up through my colon. The goosebumps appeared instantly on my arms and legs and then I proceeded to tease my anus and rectum with the nozzle until a knee-buckling orgasm raced through my special spot.

Frankly, I haven't enjoyed an enema like that one in a good while…it may be on my next “enema agenda”!

Have fun and play safe!

I have an interesting reply for this question. This is NOT really an answer to the posed question, but more of a story that relates to it.

From birth to age 10 I got my regular enemas over mom's lap with a Davol bulb syringe that delivered about 4 oz per squirt. ( I believe it said it held 6 oz on its box, but that was the bulbs capacity, not how much it delivered per squeeze ). Mom had an interesting way of determining what a proper sized enema should be. I would get one bulb full for each year old I was. So examples at 4 years old I was getting 4 insertions and squeezes or 16oz. At 8 years old I was getting 8 insertions and squeezes or 32oz ( 1 quart ). Im not sure where she came up with this method but it seemed to deliver a very effective sized enema as I was growing up. I also found that with the volume she was using, the temperature and strength of the solution, and how long I was required to hold the enema ( at least 10 mins ) that they were super effective and would leave me completely emptied out. Mom made her solutions strong, and if I didn't hold it at least 10 mins, I would be getting another one later.

Wow Debgurl! That was one hot post. I definitely need to try that!

I got the bulb until I was 13. It was always the same… mom prepared the solution I was in the bathroom briefs down over dads lap. The bulb was inserted 6 or 7 times each time he would say take a deep breath and I felt the nozzle go in me then the water. Had to hold it for 5 minutes over his lap. If I didnt it was a second one right after.

@debgurl WOW that was HOT!!!!!!!!!! I'd of loved to watch that! Your Hubby is a lucky guy, wish I could've married a woman like you. You've got me so excited now I'll have to play before bedtime. Will be thinking about you during my next series. 😜😉

@debgurl oh my, very lovely post. my first solo enema at age 11 after I found the douche bulb in the bathroom closet. I remembered the enemas I received from my mother until age 5 and the connection of those good feelings then were much amplified by my new found joy of masturbation. So I filled the sink and swished a bar of soap around until the solution was opaque and filled bulb up. I think I took about 5 bulb fulls. The lovely gush of that very warm enemas as I squeezed the bulb was awesome. By this time it was very obvious that my frontal protrusion needed attention. I was so turned on by the anal invasion of that thick douche bulb syringe I reached orgasm quickly. WOW! I was hooked. I enjoyed that douche bulb for many years until I left home.

9 8oz bulbs (assuming you dont get it full every time) should give a total of 74 oz--2 qts, bery warm and soapy using doc bronner's peppermint then hildonf for 5 minutes. Lying on bathroom floor so cock and ball massage eill divide pleadure between cocl and sweet asd.

My favorite position to receive a bulb enema was knee-chest and I always twisted my head around so I could watch by enemate as she would stand naked behind me.

As she would turn toward the basin to fill the bulb, I would admire her pubic hair and the shape of hips.

Then she would turn back to face my hips and anus. I would ask her to slightly spread her stance so I could see between her legs.

After she would have given me four or five bulbs full, she would ask if I wanted another one. I’d tell her to keep giving them until I asked to stop.

I know my butt was full of the warm soapy water and up my sigmoid into my large intestine’s descending colon.

I enjoyed the fullness, the holding when my enemate would insert a butt plug and play with my nuts and erection until I had to expel.

It was an effective enema and quite the erotic show watching her hairy vulva and huge nippled breasts.

After a second soapy and a large rinse, we changed positions and I serviced her with two soapies and a rinse.

Then it was to the bed for vaginal and anal sex, toys and oral play.

I totally get Debgurl. I have several bags, but sometimes you just need to do it with a bulb.

L just enjoy the bulb more than the bag. l always got bulbs as a young boy when needed. Found the Douch bulb mom used one day and it was an amazing feeling. l just got a new electronic bulb that hold a good amount of solution and it has a vibrator built-in. lt is the best l ever got. Large Thick nozzle the is flexible. it works in any position and feels wonderful. l do solo often and so this fills the void when l need a good enema. it's on Amazon.

It's up to you. l like the feeling of the nozzle going in all the way and not knowing when the bulb will be squeeze to feel the rush in my ass. Then the pullout very slowly and sometimes using nozzle like a strap-on. 4,5,6Bulbs is a fill.

The bulb is fun because of the repeated insertions. Some like to relive their childhood bulb enemas as well. I think the minimum is about four 8 ounce squirts for the minimum to have a good enema.

I like the bulb because of the control. Squeeze it as hard as you can with both hands or nice and gentle with one hand. The nozzle going in and out most times is so exciting. The larger the nozzle, the more the excitement...

I love bulbs due to multiple insertions and my bulb has a a very thick long nozzle. Usually I need to take two and a half bulbs four five rounds to make my ass fully clean.

When I was constipated as a kid, I only ever got one bulb. It was a red Rexall Defender bulb with black nozzle and white washer between the nozzle and the bulb.

I knew I was in for it when I walked into the bathroom and saw the sink full of whitish water and a bar of Ivory floating in it. The bulb was filled and I was told to bend over and grasp the toilet seat. Seconds later the nozzle was in me and the bulb squeezed. I then got into the tub for my bath, holding the enema. By the end of my bath the enema was working strongly and I had a supervised poo.

This continued until I was about 10 to 12 wen I was introduced to the bag.

Multiple bulbs are not needed to promote a thorough poo. A single bulb will do it, given time.

I've never used a bulb, it takes too long and I can't be fucked while administering. But I would think that numerous bulbs would be much more effective for proper expulsion. As in a good enema, the water quantity is needed to get things moving and out of the person.

Maybe I need to try out a bulb enema once just to see how my sub feels about the experience.

Usually 1 or 2 bulbs in 2 or 3 sessions are enough

As many as he could get in me before he had to catch his flight…
