Keeping the water in advice

Hi folks,

i`ve only just started with my enema kit,i hang it over the shower screen and squat over the toilet,but i`ve only tried it three times and within 15 seconds of adding the water,it just gushes out,i`d like to get more in but any advice appreciated.

Lower the bag. Its too high. 18-24 inches is high enough. That will slow it down. It should be warm water. Cold water causes cramps. Good luck!

Many thanks for the rapid response,i do have the bag as high as i can,but i`ll lower it for the next time,of which might be tomorrow,would slowing the flow down via the tap do the same?

many thanks 😎

Lay down on a towel on your left side. Hang the bag from the edge of the vanity drawer. It will be about the right height. Take it warm and slow. Roll from left side to right side about halfway through. Relax and enjoy yourself!

When you are in a sitting position, such as on a commode, your "release valves" are open, and natural elimination is not restricted. Therefore, if you inject water in that position, it will quickly escape. As listed before, lie down on your left side, then right, or on your back with knees slightly up and inject water by gravity. The higher the source (red bag) the stronger the flow. Water injected directly from the faucet can be a problem. It may force something inside of you. Gravity (red bag) will stop automatically if there is a barrier inside. Much safer and more comfortable. Also, you might try a bulb syringe as you have immediate control to stop if the water doesn't want to flow in easily. Have fun injecting -- but not while sitting on the toilet. That's relief or evacuation time.

If you don't have good control at this time, you might want to stick close to the toilet, but not in a squatting position. I find lying on my left side to be comfortable, then turning onto my back after half the water is in. On my back is a wonderful position for me. It's very relaxing and I can hold for quite some time in that position.

What do you think is causing your need to expel?

Does it feel like the water is blocked and has no choice but to rush back out? Attempt a normal bowel movement to cleanse the lower portion of the bowels. If you are constipated, before trying an enema, try using a glycerin suppository to get things moving inside. If that is ineffective or if it is effective, but you want a larger enema, try using a bulb syringe. It is easier to control the amount of water and the speed of entry. Taking smaller enemas to start will make holding a larger enema longer easier to accomplish.

Is it cramps? If so, what solution are you using? Are you starting with something gentle? What lubrication are you using? Certain solutions and lubes can stimulate the urge to push. Using a simple water and salt or water and baking soda enema and a water soluble lube like K-Y jelly.

Water that is too warm or too cool can cause cramping, so try different temperatures to suit your personal enjoyment. I can more comfortably hold a cooler enema, but many others here have better luck with a warmer enema. So experiment and find your body's preferred temperature and comfort level.

Is there air in the hose? Before inserting the nozzle, always run a little water through it first to push the air out, just as nurses do to syringes before administering injections. Air in the hose can cause pressure to build up in your intestines and will make holding water difficult as the air wants to come out.

Does the water flow too quickly inside you? If so, your bag may be too high or your hose may be too wide. Lower the bag and/or use a hose that is narrower than your current hose. Are you taking advantage of the clamp? Try taking in a small amount of water, clamping the hose and getting comfortable with that amount before unclamping and taking in more water. The clamp can be your best friend.

Let me know how things work out. If none of these ideas help, we'll find someway to fix it. Good luck and keep us posted.

Many thanks for the replies.

i layed on my left side and inserted as mentioned,and what a difference it made,more water in and a much longer retenction,strangely amazing erection..is this normal

To 2 - 2.5 litres of warm water, add two desert-spoons of salt and then lie upon your back with your knees elevated and take the enema in very slowly -- the slower, the better. It is esssential to flush out any faeces contained in your rectum beforehand so that the enema has a clear run to the rest of the large intestine. With a salt-water enema inside me, I have no cramping and can hold it as long as I like. And if you get an erection, that's a bonus. Hope all this helps. Let us know how you get on.

I find if I lay on my back with a towel under my hip so they are eleavated a little helps for me and try to relax

That is what I do too, I make sure that the bag is low enough as to not let the water come out too fast but not too low that it won't drain
