How old were you when you got your first enema?

I don't know exactly, but I'm guessing somewhere around 6 or 7 years old. I think I was first given one by a doctor and I remember that when I later had one in hospital I was familiar with the process. I recall a further occasion in hospital after an operation at the age of 9.

I'm also not sure of the exact age but it was somewhere around 8 years old. I probably got 1 or 2 a year up through age 13. That's when the boner happened and mom said that was it.

Age of 33. I was terribly constipated from pregnancy.

Not everyone “glows” during pregnancy especially toward the end. I recall my eldest being utterly miserable constipated and bloated close to due date, in need of an enema.

Had liver issue causing all over itching, symptoms or carpal tunnel presumbly due to being very oedematous. All settled post delivary.

I was around 10 years old (mid nineties), when I got a bulb syringe enema with chamomile tea to treat my fever. The syringe volume was 150 ml, and I got three or four fillings.

My first was from a nurse at 5 years old in hospital for tonsillectomy and at first I was terrified but after the water started like others here I was hooked! After that mom or meemaw administered on their laps until about 11 or 12 when we moved away from the farm. As I got older I experienced the same shame not understanding why I enjoyed them, although my older sister enjoyed them too. I know my two younger sisters did not like them. Glad I found Zity!

I remember rectal temps before I can remember enemas. I was probably around 3 or 4. I think I was 6 when I received my first enema. My mother took me to the bathroom, stood me in front of her and unbuttoned my pants and pushed them down over my bottom telling me I was to have an enema. I remember seeing the big red enema bag hanging behind her and it confused me so I began to softly cry. She told me to be a good boy as she laid me over her lap. I bit down on my bottom lip, whimpering as she parted my checks and gently slipped the enema nozzle into my bottom. I remember the wet, full feeling and crying more from confusion than any pain.

Mom gave me bulb enemas from infancy till i was 6yrs old, then switched me to the bag.

Around 5 years old or later, in the hospital. I remember 3 different ones. I don't know why these 3 enemas were significant enough that I would remember them separately.

I got them from my mom on a regular basis starting at a later date, but I didn't know how long it was after those 1st ones.

55 …… in the UK it's just not a thing , so my first experience was in play medical a few years back

8 years old received one one week than. About two weeks later by the fourth week I was being made to take a enema weekly they were given to me by my grandmother who was a nurse until I was a little older than 14

Starting at age 3 ½ and continuing every couple of weeks until I reached my early teens. My dear grandmother was my care-giver and a HUGE believer in the health benefits of hot, soapy colon care. I especially loved taking a very large, really difficult to hold, full-bag enema for her and being watched over while panting and moaning as the water squirted WAY up high into my colon, then expelling long streams of foamy brown water mixed with feces noisily on the toilet, mostly because it pleased her so much when I took a “really good” enema for her. I can vividly recall sitting naked on the potty, anxiously watching while she stood at the bathroom sink, happily prepared yet another big, soapy one for me to take. My grandmother was an expert in the “deep” internal cleanse administered to me on my hands and knees, my bare butt high in the air, and I very much wanted to be the sole object of her attentions.
