How many enemas per day or week?? What's safe?

My enema use varies a great deal. Sometimes indulging in multiple daily enemas then tapering off to occasional use. Yes, you do get dependent on them when using them daily and it does take a short period of time to put your digestive system back to a self sufficient mode, but bulk fibre supplements help. For me those binge period can be triggered by mood, horniness or just reading about others experiences here. I do not find daily enemas a problem while I am using them.

The most my sub has taken in a day was 4 to 5. They were adminstered with a nozzle that let water from a large jug in one hole in the nozzle and waste went out another into a large bag lined bucket.

Daily enemas are not necessarily time-consuming. Taking a bulb enema as a rectal douche takes no longer than about 10 minutes, expulsion included. I do this for more than 50 years.

And they have definitely no habit-forming effect for me. Late last night I took a bulb enema to remove a piece of hard stool and went to sleep. This morning I had a good spontaneous evacuation of soft stool.

You hear and read about daily enemas causing people to become dependant on enemas. Books and the web also state this. I take enemas once a week. I usually do a series of three and sometimes more. If I am going out like on a Saturday with another girl who I know is into anal I will do them again before going out. Sometimes if I was drunk the night before I will take them yet again.

The medical definition of constipation is anything less than 5 movements in the last 7 days

5? I'd heard 3 days, which would mean that you "should" be going about every other day. Rome 3 functional constipation requires a mix from a menu including hard stools, straining, feeling of obstruction or incompleteness and less than 3 per week.

Well that old saying of if you do enemas everyday you won,t be able to go in the normal way is pure bs right up there with you will shoot your eye out! ! i not only disagree with that old saying ill up it to cleaning out every day leads to much greater and eventualy complete bowel control so there medical world prove me wrong....i would love to be takin up on that challenge i can indeed prove their wrong....

Don't know of a situation where daily enemas would be a good idea really.

Oh yeah?

You should have at least several days of regular daily bowel movements without the use of any enemas or laxatives.

Says who? Laxatives, maybe. But I've been doing daily (early morning) enemas for years now - they manage my IBS like nothing else ever has, and I have had absolutely no ill effect from them. In fact, I can have a normal bowel movement whenever the need arises and I am as healthy as a horse.

I don't care what the "literature" says regarding enemas - we're dealing with a very narrow-minded mainstream medical/pharmaceutical fraternity with a serious bias against anything which could impact on sales of chronic medication (as I was on for IBS, before enemas liberated me from it). So, what we should or should not do is largely a matter of our own, amateur opinions and should be taken with the pinch of salt it deserves. (I do not exclude my own opinion from this caveat, for that matter.)

The bottom line on this (pun intended) is that there are members who swear by a daily enema and members who say if you do more than 2 a week you will ruin your bowel for normal movements. Who is right? Beats me butt arguing with either won't change anyone's mind. I usually limit play session to 2 or 3 in a week but there are many members who have taken one a day for decades. My opinion is do whatever makes you happy because you will anyway.

I don't know what is safe (I am still new here) but I get an enema every weekend, sometimes two if we are playing heavy. None during the week, and that seems about right. I don't use anything like coffee or alcohol, and it is for sex, not health. But I do love it.

I generally keep it to one per week at max. I don't necessarily limit it for health reasons, but to keep it special and rare. If I can have them as often as I like, laying on my tummy on the cold bathroom tiles won't have the same arousing effect I'm afraid.

Unfortunately I haven't had the time recently and have gone a couple of months without the chance, so the next one should be spectacular!

I don't often take enemas unless I'm feeling the need. I'll go months without, then hit a stressful time on a work project or I'll get bound up and feel grumpy and out of sorts. During these cold, rainy months when I am not as active outdoors, these are times when my body sometimes needs a good cleanse. When I don't take enemas for a while, I find them more satisfying when I do.

If I'm genuinely ill and with a fever, which is pretty rare, I will take a daily warm water enema with sea salt (or my husband will give it), to keep my insides moving. This isn't a cure, but I think it does make me feel more comfortable.

I generally limit enemas to less than 7 per hour.

What's most important here is that you have at least some number of days of normal bowel movements WITHOUT any enemas or laxatives.

If you're not doing that you are taking too many!!

As for how many enemas per day/week I take a round of enemas now, at this stage of my life, about every 8-10 weeks is the best I can hope for. That can get iffy! I would like to do 6-8 but there are too many people depending on me, and too many cases where I have to put on the brave face for my children. I can't be hiding away and taking enemas just whenever I want to! I also have to supervise teleworkers spread over 5 states. Some of them moved back into their original homes with Covid-19 being present. Management has changed their whole attitude and I don't know if we ARE going back to the office on a regular basis.

Sooo, I have enough demands not just on my time but my ability to preform that I can't think about going back to the once every 6-8 weeks schedule I was keeping there for a good while.

I DID manage to get a full cleanse in during the week between Christmas and New Years, but NOT with enemas. Had to do it all "From the top" with no enemas at all. Better than not doing it. It does mean that the last time I had a "real" enema session where I got to a clear return was in July and the last Fleet enema was in October

Howdy fellow enemates!

I am fortunate to have a wife who gives enemas, lets me play with other enemates, and does not care if I take some "alone time" to do a fill if she is not in the mood to play. This allows me to do about 6-10 enemas a week. A blissful existence indeed!

I try to take at least one every day.... and maybe 2..

I have a three to four quart enema at a minimum of once per week in order to stay healthy. During the holiday season in November and December when I am not eating organic foods and taking nutritional supplements on a regular basis, I sometimes have an enema twice per week. I give myself enemas as well as receive enemas from women and men when I am nude in the bathroom or on top of a plastic sheet on a massage table. I enjoy talking about my enemas and learning about the enemas of others, thus feel free to message me or chat with me.

I generally limit enemas to less than 7 per hour.

What does that translate into gallons per hour? 😀😀😀

I think it varies with the person. They can become problematic if you most often need an enema to poo and can' poo without one.

That said, you can't really expect to poo the day after you've be completely cleaned out. It takes a day or two or three for your colon to accumulate enough poo to evacuate. I'd try this test: Take a thorough enema, something like 1500 ml with a bit of soap, to clean yourself out after breakfast some morning. Then eat and drink as you usually do. After breakfast for the next three days go to the toilet and sit and relax. Don't strain, but gently try and poo. If you don't succeed after sitting on the third day, you are probably habituated to enemas.

If you don't poo, take an enemas as on the first day, and take a dose of Miralax. Continue as above to see if the Miralax works. The Miralax won't make you poo, but will keep things soft so it's easier to go. Hopefully you'll get results. If not, consider adding a mild laxative but try and wean yourself as soon as you're going well.

Enemas can be a lot of fun, but don't overdo them and become reliant on them to poo.

As I read what I have seen there are a couple of concerns with even sane enemas used too often, and the big question is what they mean - I haven't seen anything where they go beyond possibilities.

First is inflammation of the colonic mucosa. Depending on the enema solution there can be varying amounts of inflammation. On the upper end are Fleet-type phosphate solutions and soapsuds, mid-level is tap water, and at the low end with no or marginal inflammation is normal saline or PEG-3550 solutions. The inflammation can be seen for several days, and there is some destruction of the surface epithelium from the soapy/phosphate/tap water/glycerin enemas. What does this mean? I don't know. From what I have read I do know that ongoing inflammation has been frequently linked to cancer. Does this extend to the enema induced inflammation? No idea. My guess is that it isn't a high risk or something would have been noticed, but it is an unknown quantity.

Second is changing the microbiome of the colon. Any enema washes out a significant amount of the intestinal contents. What does this mean in real life? I don't know. We do know that when the microbiome is upset bad things can happen, but in none of the cases I saw referenced was there a link to enemas or laxatives. What is the risk of this in real life? No idea. However if you do have things happening that could be linked to a unhealthy microbiome you probably should slow down. Note that for this you will probably have a lower risk of issues if you leave more material in the intestines and don't do repeated enemas until clear.

I have less published support for this assertion, but my read is that in most cases in healthy people upsetting the natural movement of the intestines is likely a temporary issue and not one of the ones I would worry too much about. As Sean mentions just have plenty of fiber, fruits and some Mirilax to make sure things remain soft. As I understand it the main concern with constipation is the stool hardening and either impacting or leading potentially to the development of issues such as diverticular disease.

Docs on here - does this sound correct based on your knowledge?

As the saying goes... "If I die, I die". Nothing keeps me away from my enemas! LOL

Usually time constraints limit me to doing a series of enemas about once a week but I would like to do at least a coffee enema as well a couple of times a week. I guess I'll see if I can fit them in (no pun intended)!

I went on binges in my younger years where I wanted to be totally dependent upon soapy enemas. It's a long story, but I convinced my young bride that I required nightly soapy enemas.. Can't remember how many weeks I got away with that ruse. Also, many other times I binged; taking enemas every day or every other day. Amazing, I never had any problems when I would stop and could easily return to going normal. However, just because I binged taking strong soapy enemas, I do not advise this since our bodies are all different. I was just lucky (so far). Maybe once a month would be sensible?

Inasmuch as my activities and travel have been somewhat restricted over the past year, I have probably taken more enemas than previously utilized. I've probably averaged about 3 enemas per week, with an occasional coffee enema. Depending on a particular need (constipated), or a desire (uplifting), those enemas may include preliminary bulb injections to clear the way for a larger volume. A cold enema at the end has also become more commonplace.

As far as safety, I keep volumes in the 1.5-2.5 range. In doing so, I have never found an inability to return to normal bowel activity. Of course, my food intake influences subsequent output. If I'm going to be on the road, or busy with limited toilet options, those pre-emptive enemas are very effective at keeping me out of filthy conditions during pit stops.

By keeping reasonably sensible and sane, I don't believe I'm any worse off from using enemas. If anything, I don't suffer with digestive distress as often as those around me who loathe enemas and rely on the various chemicals or pills for comfort. My anal region obviously is much “happier” with a squirt or two of warm water, and the need for hemorrhoidal treatments has become unnecessary. Everyone should try a bulb syringe and bidet for a “happy bum”!

It has been said buy the med professionals that a person would become dependent on enemas for bowel function. As many of you have said normal bowel function renews when enemas are discontinued (for many people). I wonder if the dependency claim was more based on the reality that many young persons began to enjoy their enemas and asked for them to the surprise of parents.

I just took 4 3qt enemas this morning to get ready to state a colonoscopy prep this afternoon. I am not looking forward to drinking that stuff. I will probably take more enemas during that time. I am going to ask to do the colonoscopy with out sedation.

Rjrpilot,

I hope you are able to finish drinking the ‘stuff’, and along with the Enemas you have already done, things should come out pretty clean for you. Hope everything goes good for your procedure.

I was at the point if daily enemas for over a month and it was awesome but there was now solid bowel coming out. It was all liquid or tiny bits. I’m taking a break for about two weeks to give my system a break and to also allow my bowel movements to harden back up. I love the feeling of big pieces coming out during my enema expelling so ill get back to this in about two weeks today is day three with no enema. I’m gonna have to use suppositories from time to time to help me go until I’m back with the enemas. But until then happy enema to everyone and play safe

I try for a good multi enema clean out followed by coffee retention every Sunday morning and then often just a quicky mid week.

I do enemas every few days to every few weeks. It varies. As I've mentioned in other posts, my real interest is in giving to women. However, I like them myself, and I do them both for the stimulation and the cleansing. I get “slow” or gassy frequently, and sometimes “out of sorts,” so that's when I know I NEED an enema. That's when I make sure to do a series, usually 1 small, 2-3 large, and by the time I'm finished, all is better. I do sometimes take them in between those times, always thinking about how much more fun I'd be having if this was a girlbottom I was filling rather than my own--but then, she could give to me as well…
