Soaps

I use Dr Bronner's Lavender soap in moderation, or one of the little castile packets from Beth Tyler or a medical supply house. However, the soap doe irritate my gut so I have to use it sparingly if at all. Lately I've taken to shower-based enemas with an attachment to the shower hose, so the enema is just water. However, to get the nozzle into me I use the Dr Bronner's as a lubricant - it works pretty well and I suppose a small amount of soap gets into me in the process. In general I have a tough time with holding the enema, but if I take the water in VERY slowly, it works much better, soap or no soap. I tried Ivory years ago and suppose I should try it again just for kicks and giggles.

Zeep, if you have no problem, so be it. I prefer soaps to detergents. I don't recomend using the antibacterial version, the colon is full of good bacteria.

I don't use enema soap. Instead, I use Head and Shoulders shampoo which actually one of the fastest movement inducers. I think it's a chemical irritant that leads to quicker expulsion, but I use it in moderate quantities and haven't had an issue before.

Use Bronners lavender nice feeling and aroma

I prefer the Dr Bronners peppermint.

Doctor Bronners OR Kirk's Castile bar - milky white!

I have had some success with a 1/4 lotion, bar soap, gently worked into the water by hand. Other than the increased time necessary to do this from the bar form, is there any problem with this? The lotion seems to have a gentle quality to it.

Always use a mild soap. Watch out for additives of various soaps, may be harmful

Good old milky white ivory soap bar love the smell and feel so good

I've always used a bar of Ivory soap. I believe the liquid Ivory is harsher.

I like my ass to smell like a baby....., so I use Baby Magic Hair & Body Wash. Very gentle. My butt burns enough from playing with it too much.

Well I use Dr. Bronner's lavender. It's an oil, not really a perfume - and it smells amazing and feels super nice.

Ivory soap all the way. If I can't find the liquid, I will soak down a solid bar until the water gets real sudsy.

Hi sizeking. You may find it convenient to use a brand new dry bar of Ivory and grate it on an old fashion four sided grater. Once you have grated it you can disolove it in warm water and make up a concentration which you can use anytime without the bother of soaking a bar of Ivory.

BE VERY CAREFUL!! Make sure that what you are using is in fact soap and not chemical detergent that can be very toxic.

I usually use Dr. Bronners Peppermint in my enemas but lately ive been using grated ivory soap bars or grated Goat's Milk Soap Bars. They make for very even mellow cleansing enemas.

Neutrogena for me, it was step moms favorite

I have used different soaps. Ivory bars grated, liquid Ivory, which I like better than the bar soap, Neutrogena, which for me seemed harsh most of the time, I have used White Rain body wash which is very nice, J&J Baby Shampoo, and Dr. Bronners Peppermint which I like a lot. Gives a nice tingle when it is in you. I have also used Head & Shoulders and that is ok, but I always came back to liquid Ivory and now Dr. Bronners Peppermint. I then use a couple of nice rinses of plain water, then a couple more with some baking soda in the water. Oh it feels sooooo good.

Most of the time I prefer clear warm water. I usually do a series of enemas, 3 to 6.

I sometimes start with a solution of Ivory Soap, then rinse with clear warm water.

Other times I start with one or two clear rinses then do a coffee enema followed by another one or two clear rinses.

Sometimes I do a series where I start with water at around body temperature (say 100 F degrees) then do a series where I increase the temp by 4 F degrees, say 100, 104, 108, 112, 116 then 118. (118 F degrees is about all I can reasonably tolerate.) I find that each successive step in temperature helps me to tolerate the next hotter enema. (It's like that old story about boiling a frog by slowly turning up the temperature a little at a time.)

We use Dr. Bronner's peppermint and have for years. With a little practice, it is very predictable. You can deliver a warm, loving, soothing enema or a crampy, hard to hold attention getter, each of which have their place.

Where does one find the right Ivory liquid soap. The Ivory dish soap I see on supermarket shelves appears to have ingredients not in Ivory Soap 99% pure.

Hi watermain. I don't think that you will find Ivory "Soap" liquid any longer. It used to come in grey pump bottles decades ago.

If you want Ivory soap liquid follow these direcions:

Use an old fashion kitchen four sided grater to grate a new bar of Ivory.

Pour the gratings into your desired bottle.

Add enough warm water to cover the gratings. (If the soap floats, just add water up to where the top of the gratings was.)

Allow to sit for fifteen minutes or longer then gently agitate to mix the product.

Of course you can make thicker liquid by adding more grated soap, just let it sit for long enough for the water to melt the gratings.

Enjoy

Neutrogena. It doesn't irritate going in but it works very slowly inside you, and the urge is gentle but firm.

The liquid Ivory did not have the same formula that the bars. I would concur with Stephan's method of making it with a grater.

Hi luvvinit, Thanks for the support. At least someone agrees with me about something Don't make the final solution to strong unless you are punishing someone. Too much soap burns!

Some of the finest soaps I have used have recently been ordered from www.indigowild.com They make it in KC, MO (made in USA!!), and does not have a bunch of chemicals and preservatives. The sea salt soap is a good one, very mild, yet does a good job.

I have been using Johnson & Johnson's "Head to Toe" baby shampoo lately. It is mild an effective.

I agree with "funstrict" on J&J BaBY. iI also use Neutrogenia liquid soap in the pump bottle; just 3-4 squirts in a 2 qt. bag is right. (Don't get the Neutrogenia for acne skin).

I was using Dr.B's Peppermint, but I guess it's just too strong for my radiated colon. Left me with lingering cramps.

Hi

How much j&j baby shampoo per litre and for another time how much simple bar soap per litre.

Thanks

I haven't measured it, but would say 2 teaspoons per litre. I don't think it is critical for the effect of cleaning. I use J&J "Head to Toe" there are other J&J baby shampoos. Before "Head to Toe" used Dr. Bonner's Baby Shampoo. I still do, just not as frequently. Peppermint for me is a killer. Can not hold, rarely finish the bag.
