What is a good enema soap?

Generally prefer Dr. Bronners Plain Castile, or Lavandar. Have tried the Peppermint in the past, but I personally don't care for it as much. Occasionally, I'll go with J&J Baby Shampoo, which seems to work welll, and feel good too.

I prefer the j&j baby shampoo its very mild does not burn works very well

I generally do not use soap but if I do, I use Kirk's Castile (available at Cracker Barrel). I tried Ivory and for me it is irritating. I usually just use some baking soda in warm water, it seems to clean me out well.

One is JUST SOAP. The fewer additives, perfumes, and such as possible.

I use Ivory bar soap.

A lot of people use Castille soap. No knocking it, but we all have our own comfort zone.

Just be careful to avoid things like dish washing soap and laundry soap. Most of those are not even soap they are chemical detergents that are really not good for the skin on your hands, let alone the inside of your bowel,

The no sting baby shampoos are detergent free. It is important to avoid detergent based products, as they will destroy the good bacteria in the intestinal system. I try to use natural soaps like Ivory or castile when necessary for a thorough cleanout.

Goat's milk enema soap.

I stick with what was used on me when I was little. Good old Ivory soap! Just a whiff of that distinctive Ivory aroma and memories of those childhood enemas fill my mind. Plus it's as effective now as it was then. Being called into the bathroom and getting syringed with Ivory soapsuds always brought the results my mother wanted.

Ivory is just so nostalgic plus it gives one very good clean out. I do have a bottle of unscented Dr. Bronners and it is very good, too, even if it does not bring back memories.

I concur with "Emom" and I have found Kris'es goat milk enema soap of both flavors to be quite nice!! Also have a couple of jugs of good old Dr. Bronner's peppermint and lavender soap too!! Just depends upon my mood at the moment!!

Well, here's another vote for Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. I haven't tried any of the other five or six delicious flavors they make, however. I too use a dilution of (1) tsp per quart of water. My patients like it, as it really helps to reduce cramping (unless you like that crampy feeling), and it just plain smells nice. And as others have also commented, it's good to rinse it thoroughly. I generally do that with two succeeding enemas, with as much warm water as the patient can comfortably take. Even give an additional 24-oz bulb full if the water doesn't look sufficiently clear to me. If my patient is OK with it, I generally accompany them to the toilet for the rinse processes.

I like Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. I've tried a lot of soaps over the years, but have used this for going on a dozen or so years!!!

I used Ivory soap before for soapsuds enemas. but I going to try Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Castile soap. Can not wait to try.

My favorite is Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Castile soap. I like the smell, the cramps is provides, and the good cleanout. I have used Ivory but I can't tell any difference between using Ivory and just plain water. With the Dr. Bonner's, I can tell the difference as soon as I start filling.

My favorite is Dr Bonners peperment

One more vote for Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap. I usually just use plain water but sometimes i use soap and some time ago I found and tried Dr. Bronner's (hard to get in Sweden) and I must say that the tingling cold/warm feeling and nice smell is very nice.

I am always a bit worried about adding things to the water. I assume that some of the substances you add to the water gets absorbed by the body.

When I was a kid, I always got ivory soap enemas from a bulb and as a teenager from a red bag. Ivory soap was the not only the standard for soapy enemas when I was a boy, it remained so for many years, even after castile soaps and Dr. Bonner's soap became readily available. Ivory soap was also the soap from which my dad carved soap stick suppositories which were used for punishment along with spanking and enemas. Although I like Dr. Bonner's peppermint soap as many others seem to, I also like some of the other flavors as well. It all depends on what I want from an enema or who I'm going to give one to. Ivory soap has a bit of a sting to it and is really good for punishment purposes. whereas Dr. Bonner's soaps are gentler and in many ways more effective for bigger deeper cleaning enemas since ivory soap is harder to retain fro any length of time. In either case, I always follow up any soap enemas with several clear water rinses to remove all the soap from the colon.

Dr. Bronner's can be ordered on Amazon or Ebay!!!

For the past 4-6 months, Iv'e been using J&J baby shampoo with baking soda. I use about 2-3 Tblsps. of soap and about 2 Tblsps. baking soda to 2 warm qts. water. The shampoo is very mild and gives a nice cleansing enema with lots of bubbles too. 😄 For new users I would start out with 1-2 Tblsps shampoo and find your comfort zone. Makes for a very soothing, relaxing enema. Try it, you'll like it.

Mike45 I agree with you about J&J baby shampoo. Ivory soap also makes a mild solution but takes a little work to get the soap to soften and mix in the water.

I use Dr Bronners baby soap. The peppermint is way too intense for

me sadly. I also use Dove. Mostly I use plain tap water.

My favorite now is Johnson's "Head-to-Toe Baby Wash". It is mild, effective and sudsy. Like most others, it was Ivory soap growing up. I do occasional use Ivory, usually administered by a nurse. It brings back many memories. I am another who does not tolerate well Dr. Bronners Peppermint. In less than 8 ounces I have an extremely urgent need to release.

I was able to get Dr. Bonner's Peppermint. WOW it was great. Did like 10 enema with it.. I can not get over the feeling it leave.. Thanks for the information about Dr. Bonner's Peppermint

I use Dr. Bonner's Lavender soap. I've used the peppermint variety but don't like the tingling as much. I use 1 tablespoon per quart plus either salt or baking soda. I also like Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It provides a good clean out but without the cramping I get from Dr. Bonner'so.

I have been using Johnson's Baby Shampoo for years. Gives a nice cleanout without too much cramping. Ivory is also a classic standby!

I've used nothing but Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap for over a dozen years!!!

I've been using Conti Castile with olive oil. It provides some internal lubrication for a comfortable release.

Generally Dr. Bronner's peppermint, but sometimes it is just too intense. Have to watch not to use too much, just a few drops in water will do the trick

For the past year I have been using J & J Baby Wash soap on recommendation of several members in the chat room. It is very sudsy and gentle. Before that I was using Dr. Kirks Castile Bar soap 'swished' in warm water for a couple minutes until the water was milky white and soapy. Of course the standby is Ivory bar or liquid, which most of us have used for years.

My favorite lately is Dr Bronners lavendar. Mild, yet slippery and effective.

I like using Castile peppermint soap as well as ivory soap. I have also used baby shampoo which gives a good cleaning out.
