Sears Enema Bags

A Montgomery Ward super duper open top fountain syringe just sold on eBay for $1,259. Somebody is really constipated. Grin

.....had it been an Enema can, we know who would have bought it!

Back in the 50's when I was growing up, I spent a lot of time on the toilet paging thru the enema equipment section in the Sears and Wards catalogs. All great stuff, readily available, used by everyone I knew. Those were the days. Our family bag was a combination set from Walgreens that was every bit as good as the best Sears offered. Large ribbed bag with a good assortment of nozzles. Received many of mom's good enemas from that bag and later in my early teen years enjoyed it by myself.

The real early catalogs had drawings not pictures of enema equipment. Very exciting looking stuff to the true klismo.

It was only recently I realized how lucky I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. I came from a enema family; my mom, all my aunts, all my cousins,and some family friends all had bags hanging on the back of the bathroom door. When I went away into the Navy in 1958 I forgot that I left a blue 3 qt. pumpkin bag hanging in my closet. On my first visit home after months away, I looked for it but it was gone 😢. I was not to keen on asking my mom where it went, so I just grabbed her old bag. It was 25 years later and I was traveling in my own business and spending the night as a guest of my old auntie. Long trips always had the same effect on me, and after a week on the road, I was ready for you know what. Well, it was late at night and I was in the little white room, trying as hard as I could to go, without any success. I thought my old aunt was asleep, when suddenly comes a knock at the door and she was asking me if I wanted to use her old enema bag... boy, did I ever want it and was I ever appreciative. Acknowledging that, yes, I did indeed want it I waited just a short while before a second knock and a hand thrust through the door holding my very old and well patched blue pumpkin bag. Well, surprise, surprise. So that is where it went. Looking at that old bag, I realized that it was about gone and decided to do something nice for auntie. Next morning I went out and bought a beautiful new latex bag and secretly hung it in her closet where the old one was kept. Several weeks later I received a nice Thank You note "for fixing the bathroom plumbing". Those were the days,I thought they'd never end. It certainly is different today!

When i was growing up i looked at each new sears catalogue to find the hot water bottle and douche bag section. and then the woman's panties section, as whey were on a real woman.

I remember the old catalogs, but at the same period if you walked past your local corner drug store you could see an enema bag or two on display in the window.

I too remember getting a new Sears catalog and I would check out the enema bags in the book. I hated getting enemas as a kid, did not know why I was getting one, but would just happen. I remember one time my mom was in the living room and one of my aunts was over and out of the blue my mom would ask me when the last time I had a BM was. I was of course mortified. Do not remember what my answer was, or if an enema came shortly after that.

Yes! Sears catalogs, Montgomery Wards & JC Penneys were all sort of the soft porn of the 1950's and early 1960's!

They had sometimes several pages of douche & enema kits as well as pages of young lovely women in panties, bras, girdles and all-in-ones (as they were called then: a sort of full body girdle.)

Lots to see for young curious boy eyes!

Years later I saw a comic German film where the grandpa read the ladies lingerie sections of Sears catalogs!

If you can get your hands on soime Eaton's catalogs from Canada in the same era, you will find some interesting things there as well.

I am trying to remember if the comic "German" film was "Hedwick and the Angry Inch."

I also enjoyed the Sears catalogs growing up. Recently I found and bought a Sears bag on Ebay. I went to Ancestry.com and looked up the bag in the old Sears catalogs. I was able to find the exact model and that gave me the time frame of when it was purchased. Ancestry.com has all of the old Sears catalogs to review. Going through the old catalogs was almost like looking at them years ago!

I remember seeing the Sears catalog growing up, but it wasn't until I was maybe 12 that I realized what was meant by "rubber goods". We had two red bags in our house, one was a combination type that was only used for enemas, and my mother had an open top that was known to be strictly for her use. It wasn't until later that I realized that her use was for douching.

I remember getting Mom's Sear's catalog growing up and looking for their enema bags. One day while I was looking at them, Mom snuck into the living room and caught me. I about jumped out of my skin. Mom came up from behind and put her hand on my shoulder as I was checking the bags out. She leaned over and asked me if I wanted her to give me one and I looked over my shoulder and kissed her hand saying "yes, MaMa, please!" She took my hand and lead me into her bathroom where she gave me one of the best I ever had.

I loved looking at the Sears enema bags and when I was 12 or so it would get me so excited that I would tell my Mom that I needed an enema and she always gave me enemas when I asked for them.

Getting the new Sears or Mongomery Wards catalog was a lot of fun. I was excited like a little kid at Christmas time. The first place of interest for me was the index to search for the page number for syringes. The Sears catalog was ok but I prefered Wards for their enema equipment. I cannot recall which of those two catalogs had a combination bag with the force-flow bulb on the hose. The idea of a bag with a bulb always fascinated me.

Those catalogs - enema bags, girdles and foundation wear... all so fascinating and exciting!

Seems they all went hand-in-hand and I became hooked on all.

(If girdles are your thing, check out my profile)

Anybody remember that they called the nozzles wands in the Sears and Wards catalogs. Never did understand how they came up with that term.

Guilty as charged. The catalogs were well opened to the syringes pages. The variety was great and viewing was almost as exciting as playing with an actual bag set. Later, the catalogs were replaced with Water and Power and Enema Nurses mags showing real users. Ah the visual is powerful.

I too used the Sears catalog to get excited. They were the best for that time. I just went to the Sears website and typed in enema and three pages of equipment came up. They are still into supplying klismos.

I too loved to look at those pages in the Sears catalogue

They were great to look up those special pages.My Grandmother had maybe 6 or 7 yearly catalogs.One day after school my plan was to look thru them at the toys,that's what I told her and she told me she was spring cleaning and threw them all out,I was very disappointed to say the least.It would be nice if anyone had some of the old Sears or Wards catalogs and scan some pages to post.

I remember my mother got the Sears catalog every so often and I couldn't wait for a new one to come. One day, that day finally arrived and I got off to myself and spent hours looking at the new enema stuff, dreaming that Mom would catch me and give me one just for the hell of it. Well, I want you to know that I was usually real careful though and most of the time that I'd be looking was times that Mom was out of the house, gone shopping or visiting a friend or something. This particular day was no exception. I waited until Mom had left the house before I retrieved the new catalog. As usual I took the catalog into the t v room to look at it. But, on that particular day I somehow fell asleep with the catalog turned to the enema section. I want you to know that the catalog was also still open turned to the enema section and lying in my lap when my Mom got home. In fact, Mom came home an hour or so after I had drifted off to sleep and found me still asleep on the couch with the catalog open and glaring her in the face. I want you to know that my Mom, being the special mother that she was, I guess, assumed that I must have wanted an enema real bad. She later told me that she left the room, went to her bathroom, took out her trusted old Rexall Victoria Combination Syringe from the bathroom cabinet and proceeded to fill it full of hot, soapy, salty water just for me. Then she told me that she didn't hang it up though and decided instead, to carry the enema bag and hose back into the t v room to surprise me I couldn't believe how coy she was about it, but she went on to tell me that once she got in there finding me still sound a sleep on the couch she had to decide if she really wanted to wake me up. She said I looked like a little angel lying there on the couch and really thought about just letting me sleep. But, then holding that bag, she said that she needed to go ahead with it. She eased up to me real quietly and decided to lightly touch my cheek with the enema nozzle which is what she did. I remember waking up after feeling something lightly rubbing on my face. I thought that it was a fly and I swatted it. But, Mom kept right on rubbing the nozzle on my cheek until I jumped. I can tell you that Mom really surprised me and to tell you the truth I was also a little bit embarrassed. , I remember looking up and seeing Mom holding an extremely full enema bag in her arms. I thought about running. But, what the hell, Mom had caught me and I was fixing to get a long awaited enema that was just for me! My reaction, though, was probably what she expected for- I did jump up which resulted in me knocking the catalog onto the floor. I remember reaching to retrieve it, but Mom stopped me by putting her open hand onto my shoulder. Then she stated "don't you think we need to take care of this first (holding up the completely full red Rexall Victoria Combination Syringe) in front of me?" I know I must have smiled. I leaned over and hugged her neck and together we went into her bathroom again, and yes, Mom did give me a wonderful enema. That was one special dream that did come true!

Yes, both the Sears catalog and also Wards had several pages of enema and douching equipment back in the day. When I was old enough to be let home alone for a time, I couldn't wait till those opportunities so that I could pore over those pictures, as well as the pages and pages of bras and girdles. Once old enough to discover the methods and joys of my own sexual pleasures, those pictures and often just my own memories of them provided the impetus for frequent sexual release sessions ;-)

I remember well the more erotic pages of Sears and Wards catalogs from the early 1960's. Seems that is the point when the section on syringes was on the decline. By the 1970 era, syringes had all but vanished from those pages. It was years later during a visit to a museum with a table full of old magazines and catalogs from the 1940's that I had an eye opening experience. I happened to glance through the catalog from 1947 and decided to check for syringes. Checking the index, I found several pages listing rubber goods of all kinds. It did not take me long to open the well worn pages of the tattered document to the rubber goods and was I ever shocked. There were entire pages devoted to syringes of all kinds and grades. Some of the nozzles were like I had never seen before. There was even a special retention douche nozzle for special medication applications. It seemed like the quality was a whole different level than anything I had seen in the 1960's catalogs. The force flow bulbs in the tubing seemed to be a popular option I had never seen before. I tried to imagine some kid all constipated with her mother squeezing the rubber bulb trying to clear the blockage and at the same time letting her know that she too would be doing the same thing as a parent in a few more years. The museum is now long gone but the memory of that afternoon is still fresh in the mind.

A few years later I stumbled on to a pile of old catalogs from the 1940's and 1950's in the back of an antique store that were still in almost perfect condition. They revealed even more of the history of rubber goods from times gone by. It is easy to see why those decades were the Golden Age of Enemas. Too bad digital photography was not there to record the incredible syringes in use. We have been cheated.

The bag my parents used to give me my first enema was a Sears enema bag--open-top with two 'ears' beside the opening. Black, bat-shaped nozzle and unusual clamp.

:Like so many, I used to love to delve into the new Sears catalog for the wonderful 'Rubber Goods' pages.

The bags were my favorite section of the Sears catalog. Followed closely by girdles. This was 50's and 60's. I have a reproduction Sears catalog but no bags or girdles.

I do not recall much of my early enema experience, but I certainly remember studying the Sears catalog in the 50's. I learned how to use the index and I think "syringe" was one of the first words that I learned to spell. I don't remember spending so much time studying women's underwear, but I sure did study the enema supplies. I have been amazed on this site to see how many of us there were slipping to look at those pages.

I remember going to our local department store, Hudson's, in Detroit and buying my first amber latex bag in the 60's. We had Sears stores but I don't remember seeing enema equipment in the stores. Sure spent a lot of time intently studing the catalogs

I remember seeing Sears enema bags in the 1980s......and Sears shotguns too. One caused a blast of lead....the other a blast of shit. : P

I very much remember the "rubber goods" section of the Sears catalog. In the 1950's it was delivered to our house on a regular basis. I would look in the index and see the section named "syringes". There would be 1, maybe 2, pages of pictures and descriptions of the fountain and combination bags with hoses and assorted nozzles.
