What's your favorite laxative?

Dulcolax, Epsom salts and magic bullets

Dulcolax, Epsom salts and magic bullets

Right now it’s glycerin suppositories work fast for me next ducolax suppository

when I have lots of private time start with plain water enemas

then soap suds enema with soap, rinse then ducolax suppository held until melt then soap suds enema with retention device and hold as long as possible

usually explosive results for me

A Dulcolax ( fast acting ) to clean out the “ Lincoln Tunnel ” before a good 2.5 quarts with Dr. Bronner's. I love sticking one of these in, and holding it as long as I can. Stripping down to just my underwear is the best I can do, waiting until I can't wait no longer.

After that. The bag, which will probably be on the radar tonight. Happy Friday !!!

Was taking lactulose yester day and hade no good resultat. Relly much cramps but no poop most gass. Last time i was taken it i get diarre and that was nice

Liquid Dulcolax (or milk of magnesia) with 32 oz of organic pear juice. Results are within an hour (more commonly 30 minutes for me), but I'll be on the toilet for the better part of the day.

For laxatives, I like the quick ones, which are primarily the magnesia options ...

But ... .I have a question.

Milk of Magnesia, Dulcolax soft chews, etc. These are supposed to act in one half hour to six hours (that's really ... ummm ... definite, eh?).

BUT ... why do all the medical sources say the best time to take these is BEDTIME???

Last summer my wife and I held a picnic for some of the older engineers in our firm. Families were also invited. We had pulled pork sliders, potato salad, cole slaw and a keg of beer. My favorite is Stella but one of the associate's wives came up to me at the keg and said, "I'm glad you didn't get Iron City because that stuff is like an instant enema. It almost gave me beer note because I literally choked.

Ex Lax

Don't use any. Never have.

NONE!!! Don't need them, and if I did have constipation, I'd do a couple enemas and be over it in a hour or two.

Not had much success with oral laxatives they generally take unknown time to work, and are found to give me guts ache for rest of day,not to mention sitting on the pot all day, enemas are in and out in minutes, job done !

That is why I introduced you to saddle soap,

peace,

I generally don't use them, but if I'm needing a top to bottom cleanout, I'll use 2 oz of castor oil.

@sirwilliam55

Can you just leave me enough to clean the leather saddle and other things,

It is not just for your bum my dear.

Anyway, you are getting an enema tonight after dinner and before your shower if you ever get home today.

Peace and love

When my William does that he can not go out for days, as it works for a long time lol.

Peace.

So I have a medical constipation problem. Ozempic, enemas have been my go to solution. Quick, instant relief, and when it's done it's done. That being said, they are not always convenient. I still have to disapear for about 45 min. So I have been getting medical advice from both my GP and Endocrinologist. The first try was fibercon and mirralx, both made me feel worse, and produced gut cramps that were worse than any enema I have ever had. Also, you have to be no more than a few steps from a toilet when it kicks in. My Endocrinologist was OK with the frequent enemas, but understood the difficulty. She recommended using Magnesium Oxide. I tried it and it is a godsend. No cramping, no urgency, and good results. The only problem is fine tuning dosage and frequency. So far though so good. I still like a good cleanout with a hospital bucket of 1500cc's of soapy water when I have the time.

I just happened to remember, my grandma used to give me a big glass of prune juice. I liked it, and sometimes i would ask for another not knowing what effect it caused. Anybody ever try that?

After awhile, my belly would rumble and i wouldn't feel so well. She would let it go on until i complained that i didnt feel so good and she would give me a very soapy enema made from Ivory bar soap which I would have to hold for 10 min. She would put a wind-up kitchen timer on the vmbathroom sink. It was agonizing watching it count down craving relief... 10 min seemed like an hr as I would squirm around on the toilet while it churned inside.

When it went ding, I would cut loose. I thing she had it timed so when I got done expelling the enema, the prune juice would come down and make me poop some more, over & over. I spent a long time on the toilet for the "second wave" to subside. Grannies are so evil. 🤬 I don't remember when I found out what effect the prune juice had or probably wouldn't have drank it.

I dont know if my mom ever knew my grandma was doing that to me.

I never use oral laxatives except prescribed colonoscopy prep. Anal suppositories and enemas are quick and highly effective. Sorry pharmaceuticals companies!

My Mother was instructed by our family doctor to give me a daily enema using a small bulb when I was small due to my constant constipation problem. Then, when I was about 6 years old that doctor had to give up his practice due to health issues. Our new doctor did not believe in the use of enemas except in extreme situations and he considered my enemas not to be extreme. He had Mom start given me Castoria, which I absolutely hated! I begged Mom to forget the Castoria so she gave me an Epsom salt solution. I kept begging Mother to give me enemas instead. Finally, after a terrible embarrassing accident at school, and with my Grandmother’s help, Mom started back giving me enemas .. only now she used a Rexall Victoria Combination syringe instead of the small red bulb. I loved taking them. When it came time for me to go off to college, Mom bought me some Ex-Lax and put into my footlocker to use since I was in a dorm setting. Ex-Lax was ok, but when I went home for the first time a couple of moths after I left, I found a new fountain syringe in a sack on my bed. Guess what I did when I found it? I took it into the kitchen where my Mother was and gave her a great big squeeze hug…. I probably wore that bag out before I left to go back to the dorm

I have no favorite laxative. If I’m constipated it’s “enema time”. Enemas are very effective for me and they’re way more fun🤪😍😄

For me it has to be the good old soap suppository. Reliable and a major turn on for me and my Wife who enjoys giving me soap sticks. Although she isn't a fan of receiving them but as a good sub she takes whatever I do to her like a good girl.

@ Soapy fun, would love to see you both getting soap up your bums, and see the result !

A piece of hand soap for me too

Other than a doctor prescribed oral laxative prior to colonoscopy, I have not taken an oral laxative in many, many years. Why should I take a laxative when an enema works so well, and so much faster?

Sometimes I use Dulcolax suppositories, glycerin suppositories don't work for me. Nothing beats an enema.

Being always constipated, I'd be lost, really lost, without my shower shot-enema that reaches so conveniently over to the toilet. Don't know of any laxative that works as well.

Bedtime laxatives take 8 hours to work. Bedtime is the best time to do that.

First I'll say that laxatives are NOT my favorite way to produce a BM. That said, they do have their place. I use them prior to a "quarterly bowel cleaning" session. For Fast action, Mag citrate solution works in an hour or so. If there is time, 4 to 6 bisacodyl tablets usually get things moving in 4 to 6 hours. For a more thorough pre-cleaning, that old standby castor oil gets the job done. Of course, any of these may be followed by a round of bisacodyl suppositories (2-4) and finally, the enema series. I prefer laddered enemas: 2, then 3.then 4 qts of soapsuds (Dr, Bronners) then a couple of 3 or 4 qt salt & baking soda rinses. This normally results in the last water released looking like you could drink it.

I mainly use water syringe/bag enemas and glycerine suppositories, they work within 20 to 30 mins for me. Clean everything out on the lower bowl pretty quickly.

I have tried laxettes which is like a laxative chocolate, makes you go poo by next morning but takes a long time to work. Just softens more than anything.

Also tried coloxyl which was pretty effective and works next morning, takes a little time but does clear me out like draino.
