First time enema complications.

So when I say first time enema, I mean first time with a bag. I’ve taken a few fleet enemas before. But even those were given to me by my wife at the time.

So my issue with the bag and it being my first time was it kept slipping out. I could get it in and in place but the second I moved the slightest it would pop out. I didn’t use much lube either. Idk I’ve never heard of this being an issue for anyone before but if by chance you have a solution it would be greatly appreciated

Side note. I’m pretty sure I could do it laying face down on my bed where I don’t have to move at all one it’s in but it just doesn’t seem like this should be that complicated. It could just be me being nervous bc of it being the first time and all. Idk 🤷

The standard small nozzles are very small so will slip out easily without help. Try to use something larger like a douche nozzle. They are usually included in a kit.

It it is not included, try to lie on the left side (so called Sims position), it will be quite easy to hold the nozzle with a hand.

A lot of the bags sold on Amazon come with significantly tapered tips rather than the normal, straight-sided rectal tip. These newer ones will indeed slip out without someone holding them in place. Not sure how anyone would think these were good for an enema. Best solution is using the douche nozzle tip that’s usually included.

The Faultless unit I purchased from CVS came with 2 nozzles. I prefer the douche nozzle due to length and shape.

I also drilled a hole in the end of the douche nozzle to provide linear flow. A definite improvement!

@Curious85 always had the same problem. I used to push the entire length of the nozzle including a bit of the hose inside to prevent it from popping out. I got this on eBay, from this seller, and I love it. I use a little lube on the end for entry, and it stays in pretty well. It also feels very good inside me.

Those little enema nozzles are worthless. Use the douche nozzle or buy a better one online somewhere - Amazon has lots of options to choose from, or this one could be an inexpensive starter nozzle that actually works - https://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com/Flex-Tip-Nozzle-Beige-p/502.htm

If you want to keep getting enemas in bed, I'd recommend a double balloon nozzle, otherwise you are risking having an accident.

Those small pointed nozzles are junk, get a real nozzle. Only complications had is a bag tearing while getting a good enema

@Curious85,

No worries. You may have just started your enema journey with a bag, but I promise you are not the only one who has dealt with this particular problem. As others have mentioned, in general, the thin plastic nozzles that come with your typical CVS- or Amazon-bought bags are not the best. They happened to have worked for me for a long time but I have had the same issue that you described forever, too. Having a good, thick and long nozzle (or just thick or just long, there’s a lot of room for exploring here… pun intended lol) makes a big difference. Personally, I love siliconenozzles.com and they have a huge variety of options in all shapes and sizes, and they have some excellent ones for reasonable prices, too. I find that this (https://siliconenozzles.com/collections/colon-enema-nozzles-39/products/of-1) and this (https://siliconenozzles.com/collections/colon-enema-nozzles-39/products/of-2) very good choices for beginners. I only have the second one and wish it came in a larger size, but I have been using butt plugs, doing anal training and enjoying enemas with big nozzles for a number of years and have found what I need and want in anything that goes up my ass. Siliconenozzles (SN) has much bigger and thicker and longer options but I would recommend starting with some of the smaller ones and seeing how you like them. You can always get more! I wouldn’t waste money on anything that you can find on Amazon or similar websites to be honest, I bought a few things from various vendors there and they were all pretty meh. I have not bought any of the nozzles from Optimal Health Network but I have heard very good things about them. They are smaller (although I can see how their shape could make them work very well and stay put) than anything I own and fairly expensive in comparison but I have been meaning to grab one at some point.

Other options, not necessarily beginner friendly, though, are double balloon catheter-style nozzles and colon tubes. SN and Optimal Health Network both sell their own versions of these (and many other places, too, although I would avoid Amazon again. The DBC I got from there literally exploded inside my ass and, while it was not a particularly traumatic experience for me, I know people who did experience injuries from poorly made DBCs. For me, the only ones that do the job are the medical grade ones and they are not the easiest to find) and they are pretty decent. My personal experience is with colon tubes from both retailers and they have never disappointed.

Feel free to message me if you think I can help you further and feel free to ask any questions you may have here. Lots of people with a ton of experience will be happy to answer them and, after all, we all learn by doing 😉

Play safe,

Could it be that you were near a state of hypoglycemia, @EnchantedAmethyst?

@HarshPediatrician

Thank you! But no. That’s not something I struggle with.

I won’t repeat good advice already posted other than adding that you also might consider a good quality rectal tube that can be attached to the hose by slipping it onto the "enema nozzle" that came with the bag. The optimal size recommended by nurses is usually a 24 French ranging in length of about 15 to 18 inches. You’ll find quality tubes online made of silicone or rubber and slip in very easily with a good quality lubricant. Just stay away from oil-based lubes like Vaseline on a soft rubber tube.

Once that you are comfortable using an enema bag, the “business end” of the hose is important, in that it will give you the option of a low or high insertion, depending on your needs. Once you gently insert the tube at least 4 to 6 inches, chances are it will stay in place. For higher insertions, you’ll want to be running solution in at the same time.

When a woman has occasional lower GI issues for the past 40 years, she gets to know the more intimate details about using an enema bag and rectal tubes. Sorry to have sounded like a nurse giving instructions. lol

@TheBriannaYouCrave going from the regular store-bought enema nozzle immediately to the silicone nozzles offerings is like getting off a tricycle and getting into an F1 car. But I agree, silicone nozzles are a solid choice. I also had a double-balloon catheter explode inside of me, but I barely felt it. I only noticed it happened when the water started leaking out. What happened to the people who got injured by the DBCs?

I don’t think anyone has mentioned Delrin nozzles yet. I have only one so far. Delrin is a hard material and thus very easy to keep clean. They look much like the nozzles I remember from enemas I got from my mom when I was young except thicker. Because they look authentic I feel comfortable leaving the equipment out in our bathroom.

Love your pics man. Keep up the good work

Like others have said, I use the douche nozzle supplied with store bought Faultless and Davol bags. Even using the douche nozzle, you do have to hold it in, as it will also slip out at times.

I personally use older black bakelite curved douche nozzles. A little Vaseline goes a long way (at least for me) I get into position then insert the nozzle. That's what works for me. Or you could use a double balloon catheter.

Definitely recommend a better nozzle. anything from siliconenozzles.com is a good choice depending on what size you are able to handle. any of the CONCAVE SPD type which are available in many sizes is a great place to start for nozzles that will stay in place for you.

Hi. This is Firenze. You need a much bigger tube and there are all kinds you can find on line. Touch lube and the tube slips out. Just enough lube to insert the tube should be enough. A tube that has a bulb at the end keep it in place. I hope you find one to your liking.

I’ve got the same nozzle, and it stays in place really well. It works better than you might think just looking at it. Plus, it’s hard but feels soft when in place.
