Are You Old Fashioned?

Ivory soap brings back memories of childhood. It was the only soap used for enemas at our house and the soap used only for enemas. Lying on the bathroom floor and being syringed with bulbful after bulbfull of Ivory sopsuds was pure hell then. Strange how time changes everything!

Definitely "old-fashioned". Mom would begin by coming into my room saying "we want to take your temperature. Lay on your tummy, Michael". She would proceed to pull-down my pj bottoms and underpants to my ankles and insert a glass thermometer smeared with globs of vaseline. She would tell me "Hold still", and walk-off to the bathroom closet to get the enema out of the box and start preparing it....

Ivory soap is a great memory, however today castile soap (Dr. Bonners) is more readily available.

For twenty years or more I was traditionally old fashioned as I would not take an enema without exclusively using ivory soap just like the enemas my sister and I received at home when we were growing up. However over the past several years I have switched to Dr. Bonner's castile peppermint soap and find that I enjoy the experience much more and the cramping is not nearly as harsh.

From reading the posts the common thread is that many childhood enemas were Ivory soap and only Ivory soap. I remember once when I was about five and my mother decided I need an enema, but didn't have any Ivory soap. I got a one day reprieve until she went to the store the next day and came back with a new bar and then I was given a good syringing. Why do you suppose that it had to be Ivory soap? Any ideas?

Every one of the enemas that I received growing up was soapy and the soap was always Ivory. In fact, I do recall be told one time as I was getting a large over the lap bulb enema that when she was done, I would be 99 and 44/100% cleaned out. At the time, I couldn't tell if she was joking or not because it wasn't possible to see her face while I was draped over her lap. I think that the reason that Ivory was used so much was that it was touted as some sort of a natural soap. Compared to the other soaps being sold in those years, that could be true.

I still use ivory on occasion because the smell alone brings back nostalgic memories from the past when it's use was the norm. just one of many aspects of the overall enema experience.

All of my enema sessions begin with an Ivory soap enema. Old Fashioned? I don't know but if it ain't broke, it don't need fixin'!

For sure old fashioned! Probably the actual enema water experience is more or less the same but the esthetic is wildly different.

The various inflatable nozzles and stuff rather spoils the eroticism for me. I expect younger generations feel differently. But the famous old bulb and bag is for me.

You betcha' I am. Red bag, warm,soapy water, the whole two quarts!!! Ya gotta love tradition!

Warm water, ivory soapy the old fashion way is the only way - Whether using bag or bulb - Then a clear rinse or two

Definitely! I really enjoy an old fashion ivory soapsuds enema followed by a warm water rinse. I administer them to wife when she is needing a good cleanout.

I like the Red Bag and would prefer a red syringe tubing also with a anatomical rectal nozzle made for enemas.Like 40's & 50's.

Most of my childhood enemas were made with Ivory bar soap stirred in hot water until it was as white as milk. My mother usually just gave me a single soapsuds enema which I was forced to hold for 5 or sometimes 10 minutes. She never gave me a rinse enema afterwards. If she didn't have time to give me an enema she would give me Ex-Lax or sometimes a tablespoon or two of Castor Oil at bedtime which would make me keep dashing to the toilet with the runs the next day.

I would definetly say mine were old fashioned ivory soap enemas. The smell used to permiate the air as it was being prepared. And then hung up next to the tub. Were I would then be led and placed over the lap.

I am old fashioned and love it that way.

I am old fashion and love my old fashion enemas. To this day the smell of Ivory soap reminds me of being over my mother's lap, having my buttocks spread, and a warm soapy bulb syringe repeatedly inserted into my anus.

I guess I will have to hunt down and try some ivory soap. I should be old fashioned at 67.

Yes, I am old fashioned and much prefer using the traditional red rubber enema bags and red latex tubing!

Well, speaking of warm soapy water I certainly have been there, and soap suppositories too. But I find my colon doesn't need or like the soap unless I have had a particularly bad diet. Dr. Bronners strips the protective mucosa from the colon even worse than Ivory. If you want a miserable afternoon, get a bunch of Dr. Bronner's stuck in you up high somewhere.

So generally, no, these days I'm usually not "Old Fashioned" in that way. I'm pretty much a plain-water girl.

Old Fashion love the Ivory Soap and suppositories!

I hated any soap. Never saw the reason for its use!!!

To me, the really old fasioned thing was taking the enema entirely on my stomach. I never got a bag enema in any other position until I went to a specialty clinic (Sherema) as an adult in L.A. I also fondly remember the 4oz. bulb enemas from my mother ...also with me lying entirely on my stomach on a towel in the bathroom.

My hubby and I use plain, clear tap water ... we don't need the discomfort of soap residue left behind ... even though we taken multiple enemas during most of our sessions... occasionally, one is enough and if we had used soap, one would only be the start and would delay anything else we wanted to do. Like James Bond says, "I like it neat."

I've always enjoyed very warm, soapy enemas! Problem I have with plain water enemas is that the water stays in the colon too long and it gets absorbed into the bloodstream. The result is the need to urinate for hours after the enema.

The presence of a moderate amount of mild castile or, better yet, ivory causes the colon to contract and force the enema water out quickly, clearing out all the nasty fecal residue and old mucus. When I've finished expelling my enema, I find it very satisfying to see a toilet full of chunky brown liquid in a sea of soapsuds, which tells me I've had a good cleanse!

In this day & age in the US anyway, enemas seem to be old fashioned unless its for a procedural test in the hospital. Since I enjoy enemas, (usually a salt water one) I guess I am old fashioned.

These were the kind that my aunt would give me while growing up. My mom rarely ever did this and I think she sent me to my aunt for this purpose, but I was never sure. She would sometimes use a large bulb for this, and always used a pan of water with a bar of ivory floating in it. Other times she would use the old fashioned faultless syringe with the longer black curved nozzle which I still remember so well. She would simply sit on the toilet lid, slide her dress up and position me across her legs. She took a long time to lube me up, always with vasaline, and to give me the enema. Her one hand would always drop down and gently caress my privates, as I was filled up. I miss this very much.

Any way they come lol, but for me old fashioned best way. Hot, soapy, high and large volume then lengthy retention! Love it....

I love to give myself a nice, slightly hot,Klystra, four quart bag of fresh Yuban coffee given on the shower floor while resting on a beach towel. I have a built in higgonson pump to squeeze on to give my prostate a nice surge from time to time. I have a hard time getting up and running for the pot without spillage! My first enemas from my mom and grandma were ALWAYS delivered with me lying flat on the bathroom floor on my stomach...which allowed me to conceal a boner.

Yes i am old fashioned, love the smells and the warm soapy water being pumped into me.

Love looking at the person giving me the enema.

Enjoy the wait between insertions and the cramps telling me I have to go.
