How many bulbs does it take?

IMO, some enema givers lack understanding. It is not necessary to give bulb after bulb of solution until the recipient starts to poo. A single bulb will usually do it for either a child or an adult, if the solution is given time to work. After the bulb is given a poo often happens within about 15 minutes. If nothing has been produced, a second bulb can be given.

Enemas don't always produce immediate, bowel clearing, poos.

Someone posted in another thread that they took multiple bulbs solo (I think it was eight 8-oz bulbs) to get a two quart enema. Primarily because they enjoyed the insertions!
