Sears Enema Bags

Growing up in a rural area meant the Sears, Wards, and Penny's catalogs were important. Of course having already recognized that I liked getting a small enema, the rubber goods section always got a good look. The one that always intrigued me was the douche bulb with an adapter, hose, and enema nozzle. I also saw one of these in a drugstore years ago but never tried it. Has anyone ever had an enema with a hose on a bulb syringe? Seems to me more trouble than it is worth.

Absolutely more trouble than it is worth. I purchased one back in ancient times thinking it would be a fun thing to play with. One good squeeze of the bulb which if I recall was maybe a pint of liquid and you had to unscrew the bulb from the hose and refill it. Also it was impossible not to get air into the hose making for both discomfort and noisy expulsions. I know some like a bit of air caused cramping but that wasn't my gf's interest. I finally tossed it. I think the designer's idea was to come up with primarily a douching device that could be used for a mini enema if needed.

A higginson syringe is kind of like a bulb with a hose. If dipping into, and removing from solution is important , that can be done to. :-)

@Cheryl77177 I agree with you, more effort than it is worth. I have adapted the large douche nozzle to use on a regular enema bag, not vintage sears, current BULB SYRINGE LUXURY CARA 28. It works well. I threw away the bulb.

I always enjoyed viewing all of the variously configured enema equipment displayed on the pages of the then ' Sears and Roebuck ' catalogs that came to our home twice a year as in the ' Spring ' and ' Winter ' editions . There were enema / douche bulbs , enema / douche ' fountain syringes ' and enema / douche ' cans ' as well . I would often think about , ' fantasize ' really , about being given a ' good ' enema by any number of the pretty ' moms ' pictured in the opening pages of the catalogs of the 1950's era . All of the ladies so pictured were so sweet and feminine as to their pretty smiles and ever so ' lady like ' poses and I just somehow knew that they all were great ' moms ' in a great ' day ' who would have ' watered your garden ' in a jiffy in that long ago ' golden age ' ........

Apparently within my father's memory, Simpson Sears still had enema bags in their catalog. Sears Roebuck had already dropped them

At one point, Sears Catalogue had everything. One of my relatives now owns a house that was purchased thru the Sears Catalogue. I don't remember any enema stuff in the catalogue, but I am sure it was there.

Although, Sears is now having some major issues, Sears, and the Sears catalogue in its day was the "Amazon" as it sold just about everything.

I just recently ran across a Sears approved combo kit. And I have to say they don't make them like this anymore. I think it's 3 quarts. And a wide array of attachments. I enjoy the old equipment as soneone mentioned the old bags have personality.

Don't know if Sears ever had them but some drug stores as late as the mid 1960s had sets of a 4-oz "Child's" enema bulb and a 2-qt HWB type syringe sold as a package.

My Grandmother always had a Montgomery Ward catalog laying around. Bored to tears one day when i was 8 or so, and visiting, I started scanning the tome and ran in the section that had enema equipment. I went back to that book almost every time I was at my grandmas. I was filled with salacious thoughts.

I actually took an old 10-oz douche bulb and put the hose from a HWB style bag on it. Since they were both "Faultless" brand it fit OK no leaks was not going to "pop off" Under a hard squeeze

In High School when I couldn't or just didn't want to use the 3-qt bag sometimes retention of the second round was a problem. What I did was fill that bulb with plain water keep it in easy reach, and if I had too much trouble retaining, I would insert the nozzle on that bulb, and start to try to follow my own breathing As I breathed in, I would hold it higher and squeeze, As I breathed out, allow it to re inflate, and continue until my muscles alone could control it. It got me to 15 minutes on many second enemas all through high school and college.

I had to clean it out with a dishwashing brush after the enema was over, but I guess that's an acceptable price t pay for not pumping myself full f laxatives at such a young age

A drug store here in town had all kinds of enema bags hanging in there window that faced the sidewalk back in the 50's and 60's, I would always stop for a look when I was riding my bike.

I think back in those times, ordering such things from the Sears catalog was a little more private than buying it at the local drugstore. You mailed or called in your order and a few days later it was delivered to your house and nobody knew what was in the package. And Sears did not keep computer records back then where someone could check to see that, OMG, Mrs. Smith has bought 4 douche bags in the last two years. Not like the online shopping of today.

We kept a Sears catalogue in our out house for butt wipe. We preserved certain pages and became very disappointed when someone wasted them.

@redbag_in_ny, I owned a Craftsman house. It was in the North Park area of San Diego. It was built in 1911 and I unintentionally (made a loan and the borrower wouldn't pay) acquired it in foreclosure about 2008. When it was built (1911), the entire area must have been open field. This was prior to the San Diego zoo's opening date, which was 1916, and the house I had was just across the canyon from it. At the time I got it, it was valued at about $565K, and I managed to lose a bunch of money on it. I always wanted to keep that house, because it was such a historical gem. That area had many Craftsman homes, sold by Sears and shipped to San Diego. In fact, it was an advertising method in the local Realtors' Multiple Listing Service: "Beautiful Craftsman home!"

Build dates were quite different, the latest I saw being late 1940's or early 1950's.

Beautiful, well constructed homes...

Yes ..... I so recall as a kid viewing the ' enema bag page(s) ' of our home Sears and Roebuck catalogs . I also enjoyed , starting at my puberty , viewing the ' girls / women's lingerie pages with my emphasis on all the pretty ' girl - young mom ' pantie models . I learned , in my mind at least , to combine the two such that my fantasy consisted of the ' pretty , perky mom pantie models ' giving me an enema from my choice of the syringes advertised in the catalog and then ........... my fantasy expanded to include me ' giving ' an enema to the ' pretty , perky pantie model mom ' as well . These ladies looked to sweet , feminine and ' momish ' in their pretty all nylon , high-waist , delicately trimmed , white panties of the day . I surmised that a lady so clad needed to be given an enema after she administered one to me while wearing her modeled ' undies ' of the day . So erotic to me as a lad of that decade . Just love the gals' ........ and still do !!

I used to peruse the new Sears catalog every time it came out. They had lots of titillating pages, with female undergarments including girdles and garters. My favorite though and also had me sporting a quick woodie was the enema pages. I do know one member that still has the enema pages torn out of a catalog. I think zity has broken me of the fascination of seeing enema equipment but this thread does bring back memories!

Sears Approved back when an enema was an enema ,made with style and flair and tons of personality , people can say the bag does not make a difference on the effect of the enema given , be it with a modern bag with zero personality or a vintage bag that has tons of personality ,, i happen to disagree , personally , i hate having an enema from a modern silicone bag its not the same , it lack that special aroma you have with a vintage bag and remember , its just not the act of an enema , its the total experience of it all ,,, and somehow i just cant picture how someone young today never having an enema with a vintage bag looking back fondly on their enema experience and thinking , oh that clear silicone bag , is so sexy looking to me ,,, but thats me lol

I never knew that Sears made enema equipment. What I want to say is the new bags are not exciting. Wish I could have the old latex bag that I grew up with. It had an exciting smell and feal to it.

@Cardinal70

I got a great amber latex bag from enemasupply.com

I used to look at the Sears catalog all the time. It was very exciting to me as an adolescent. Just the word enema would make my breath come faster.

You should look on eBay and put a search notification if the one you are looking for pops up. I see vintage stuff on there all the time, even thermometers.

An equipment fetish certainly enhances my love of enemas. I was fortunate to come across a "like new" Sears 5 in 1 Combination syringe last year. I bought it at a fair price for such a vintage item. I have a picture of it posted on my "Wall". It is a translucent amber bag with markings for the volume level. The fittings are still sealed in the cellophane bag.

It was a great addition to my collection!

I well remember the Sears catalogs from the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's. They all had at lease one full page dedicated to enema and douche equipment. Every time the new catalog came out, that was the first section I checked, followed by the Craftsman tools section. Even the Montgomery Wards, JC Penney, and Spiegel catalogs from the same period had at lease half a page of enema equipment on display. Damn, I miss those catalogs!

I also looked forward to receiving our Sears catalog twice a year. I always found the feminine section the first to see what the new offerings were. They always had douche/enema bags along with douche syringes. They looked intimidating at the time. I would love to revisit those times and buy everything that they offered on those pages. Those enema/douche things that they had for sale in the catalog made me horney. My wife is out of town for the week so I think that I will give myself a nice enema this evening......... Catch ya later.............

Sears was unusual in that they sold enema and douche syringes unlike any other vendor. They were sort of a marketing test bed for different designs, perhaps trial designs by Faultless. Examples include:

The Contour Bulb Douche:

and

This is an interesting syringe because the bag is translucent and has a volume scale so one can see how much solution has been given or remains.

Sears was the largest retailer in the world and sold everything from girdles to guns and motorcycles. Its amazing to me they will probably not exist in a few years. They have spun off the Kenmore and craftsman lines and haven't been profitable in decades. They did have a great line of enema equipment back in the day.

My folks had friends who had a farm in northern Minnesota. They still had an outhouse with the Sears catalog as TP. EEEEWWWW! Not nice to wipe your butt with - probably worse for women!

It's fun to look through their vintage catalogs. Oh, to be able to send one last order in from the 1920's or 1930's.

Modern day catalogs have nothing on vintage Sears.

Yes, I also remember seeing them in the Sears Robuck store on Bedford avenue in Brooklyn, NY. They were located on the main floor by the escalator. between the small cafeteria and the ladies section. This was during the late 1960s and I used to casually walk there when I was there. This would be especially in August when shopping for my school clothes. Sears was a great store that sold just about everything. It is a crime that the powers to be let such an American icon go to Hell but this would be expected today in the era of greed. At least I still cherish the good memories that I was able to experience.
