Most challenging retention position

If you are required to retain a medicinal or coffee enema, two where it might be needed, what is your most challenging position to do so?

Knee-chest is the most effective. It makes gravity your friend during retention.

Also that means there is only one section, at the end where the muscles have to push the water up hill

It is also less comfortable then the Simms position, and harder to remain in through the entire injection and retention sequence.

I would have to say standing as gravity is working against the where all the way.

I agree that standing is the most illogical position for not only retaining but for taking an enema. Over-the-knee is not the best either but it just might be the most fun. 😃

Not a fan of knee chest will use it sometimes to start

Standing is most difficult and

Laying on my back watching the entire process my favorite

Knee chest is my favorite but the most challenging for me to retain for long. Simms position works best for retention for me or laying on the back especially with the balloon retention. Also have luck with an older colema style table for long retention times where you are laying on your back and can release a small amount at a time without getting up, no muss no fuss on that one,lol.

Use a Double Balloon Enema Catheter which you’ve used before and know how to best insert, inflate, fill you with enema, deflate and remove. And don’t stand up. Write back here or see multiple Zity threads on different materials, balloon styles and availability of DBCs. Nothing is perfect despite constant advertising to the contrary, but I love using my latex DBCs, including for large, long-retention enemas. (I have no financial or otherwise questionably ethical interest in any enema product or equipment.)

Good luck and all the best,

Eric

For retention after it's in?

i'd say squatting knee to chest.

I actually love the knee chest position and don’t find it uncomfortable at all; then again I’ve been practicing yoga, among other things, for over 20 years and find that very few positions are uncomfortable per se. Hard and cold floors or slippery and wet surfaces are a different story but I dislike them regardless of whether I am holding an enema or not…

Standing up is not the best way for me to take an enema but, sadly, if I’m having a bad tummy day, and my bowels “close up” after having been filled, I could do, and have done, jumping jacks, squats, crunches, planks and nothing will work. Maybe jogging would help but I am not going to go for a run while holding 3-4 quarts of soapy water and looking what I would consider 5-6 months pregnant if I saw it on another woman.

That being said, I’d imagine that the hardest position to hold an enema is probably standing or in any other way that promotes expulsion, like sitting down with your knees higher than your waist (like if you were using a squatty potty device). Holding anything while being spanked, regardless of position, is tough, too (but fun).

I recently bought a DBC from Clearstream the smaller of the two from amazon. Price was “ reasonable “ for me and once tried I’m a fan. It still a bit of a process in learning to insert it does take a couple of minutes most times and that’s with ample lubricant. It seems that lying kinda on my left side while inserting it works best

But makes the whole process much more enjoyable

Once in and inflated I can just relax and let the enema flow in 😉

Standing, by far.

My sub says standing is the most challenging position to have to retain and take an enema. You are working against gravity.

I wouldn’t dare stand to retain, that would be a disaster. Getting from our bedroom to the bathroom is only a short distance, but those last few steps are the longest. ☹️

Easiest to retain is onto my tummy, tightening those muscles, and then into a knee-chest position with my butt up. My husband admits loving the view when I need him to be around to help. 🙏

For the retention enemas I was given at a detox retreat, coffee....probiotics....wheatgrass...etc...the therapist had me lie in the left sims position for the rectal tube insertion (8-10 inches), then remain in this position for the first pint or so. Then turn on my stomach for another pint, and finally on my left side for the rest. It wasn't all that uncomfortable until the very end. She liked for us to hold it about 10 minutes. I only held it that long once, but most of the time I was running to the toilet on the 8th minute.

If she gave it at the end of a colonic, all you had to do was remain on your back with your knees raised while she administered the solution through the water line going into the speculum. IMO, a bag enema is better for taking implants than with a colonic. It's not as diluted with water still trapped in the colon.

I’ve used Colon hydrotherapists but none of them had enema follow ups.

I did get a series of enemas from a nurse( no colonic) and the last one found me on my back. Knees drawn up. Tube w/. A 16Fr catheter attached to the tubing, it’s full length up my rectum and I was able to hold it for 20 minutes.

An added treat was having my rectal temperature taken. Asked if I would be ok having my vitals (BP, pulse and temp) taken. I was told the temperature would be rectal. I said if I was getting enemas, getting a thermometer in my bottom was not an issue.
