Hardest to hold in

This morning I have inserted 2 Dulcolax suppositories and after 20 minutes I have taken a very warm Soap Suds Enema (Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap). For me it has been impossible to hold this because of the intensive bowel movement.

I never tried it but i heard lemon juice after a few min wants out. 😮

Yeah glycerine definitely is a powerful force in an enema 😉

I just used sliver of a bar of Ivory Soap with warm water. Waiting to do a clear flush...

Looking forward to a mayo enema sounds intresting

A small enema with at least 50% glycerin (and 50% or less water) is very difficult to hold. However, a bit larger enema with a 50/50 mix of milk and molasses (6 or 8 oz of each) is impossible to hold for long.

The sugar/soda is the crampiest and wants out right away. the slickest is mineral oil for me, cant seem to hold it in any time at all.

I agree with RCK a 50/50 mix of milk and molasses is hard to control. One quart is plenty,and I end up very relaxed and empty.

I have been taking enemas for over 40 years, and with out a doubt the most powerfull enema I have ever taken was a milk and molasses enema. The recipie I had called for a 50/50 solution of one quart, but I decided to try 2 quarts. The solution felt better going in than anything I had ever taken, soooo silky and smooth. At first nothing happened and I just held it. Then after 5 minutes it kicked in and I exploded! I expelled like mad and it all blew out but the cramps never stopped. I began to sweat and doubled over from the cramps. It was without a doubt the most cramping enema I ever took. I would not recommend taking 2 quarts of M&M again. It is really powerfull. Start small and work up.

I'll second the opinions for M&M enemas. They are wicked. I consider the one I took as two enemas - my first and my last.

Glycerine!

The fleet enema take half out & fill in back up with glycerine! Try this enema I have been given the outer enemas talked about here. This enema you will not able to retain.

Someone mentioned garlic cloves earlier. Try 2 large crushed cloves in a blender with 12-14 oz. water; blend thoroughly and inject with the double balloon. (Fresh garlic is much harder to hold than cooked.) Another recipe that is hard to hold is 1/4 tsp. each of cayenne pepper and ginger in about 12 oz. of water. (First time users try 1/8 tsp. each.)

Warm water and baking soda followed by vineger and water. Hold on!

Epsom salt for me...

The most difficult enema to hold in for me is a very warm 16 oz mineral oil enema first aministered in a knee/chest position then immediatly administer a 105 degree 2qt enema with 2tbs Dr Bronners pepermint castile soap added.This usually produces some hard cramps and very good cleanout results.

I think a glycerine enema is the most difficult enema to hold and usually not more than 5-10 minutes depending on the concentration of glycerine to water. The longer you try to hold the enema the stronger and quicker are the cramps. I've never tried straight glycerine because a diluted concentration is plenty crampy for me. I do like crampy enemas. Sometimes I add epsom salts to the glycerine enema. For me this adds a somewhat lingering cramp effect.

I have tried the milk and molasses enema (half/half). This is not quick like the glycerine enema. Once it kicks in though, the cramps can be brutal and on going till you are thoroughly cleaned out. I don't find this enema terribly messy or slow. The added milk thins the molasses considerably making the M&M enema easy to take. Yes it is sticky if spilled so I use a towel under the ass. A rinsing of the mixing bowl, enema bag, hose and nozzle, retention or tip will remove any sticky residue.

The sugar and baking soda enema (1 cup each) in a 2 quart enema bag is also a very crampy and will end in a thorough cleaning. It is usually very quick.

I've never taken a garlic enema.

I still like the classic warm soapy enema, whether ivory, dial, castille or any other.

Of course, a cold enema is very hard to take so I don't do cold enemas and wouldn't let someone give me a cold enema.

The 1-2-3 enema (1 oz of epsom salts, 2 oz of glycerin and 3 oz of warm water) works quickly and is very hard to hold for long. Also, as has been noted, the M&M enema is very easy to take but once it kicks in almost impossible to hold. Usually, for me anyway, urges to expel come in waves. With the M&M the wave starts and just get bigger until you give in and expel. Also, any enema with a significant amount of glycerin is difficult to hold for long.

Hardest to hold?

That would be glycerin.

That stuff is slicker than a Senator! It is used in other applications as a lubricant.

It will leak!! no matter WHAT you do!

The two hardest to hold for me are a garlic water enema and one time I used about a quart of glycerine and a quart of water. The glycerin water was very purguing, but I was back on the toilet every 5 minutes with heavy cramping.

Crushed bisacodyl tablets in an enema are imposible to retain for very long but give you enough time to enjoy the sensations of the urge building up.

I have a hard time retaining glycerin

Glycerin and very warm water, obviously the more glycerin the more difficult it is to hold. Better to go for a larger quantity of solution and long retention time and then experience the sudden "I can't hold this any longer feeling".

It is possible to retain almost any enema if the Balloon is inflated 5 or 6 squeezes of the bulb. The first question is how long is too long? The second question is after the enema has had the best result obtainable what is the point? A little pain can be great but pain is your body saying "enough is enough!".

Lately for some reason, I cannot seem to find any bottles of Gycerine. I used to be able to find it in the lotions depts of Drugs stores, but not as of late. I tried CVS, Walgreens, we do not have Eckerds here anymore. they do not carry Glycerine.

Try ebay. The only problem is you usually have to buy a large quantity to get a reasonable price. Search for liquid glycerine

Most pharmacies have certain items that are off prescription but are sold from behind the counter. In some cases it is stuff like Sudofed, where it is a legal requirement, but in more cases it is just certain items that they sell enough of that it's worth keeping one or two around, but not enough to justify sales floor space. Glycerin often falls into that category.

The 123 is the hardest for me to hold. 1 oz epsom salt, 2 oz glycerine, and 3 oz water. The epsom salt takes the glycerine effect to another level. If that is not enough fluid just triple the amounts for a 3 6 9 that will yield about a quart of fluid and is about impossible to hold without some kind of retention device.

For me, without question, it's the Milk & Molasses enema. The first time I took one, I thankfully used a double balloon nozzle and took 2 qts. The retention bulb refused to let anything come out and my colon began contractions that wouldn't stop. The feeling was the most intense reaction to any enema I had ever taken. When I removed the nozzle and expelled, it was literally one violent expulsion after another. It was truly several hours before I stopped having to return to expel remainders of the solution. Be prepared for an experience unlike any other, at least mine was.

Thank you Lisa and Mathew...for your expeditous answers

I will certainly check them out.

My favorite enema is a 2 quart enema with 2 tablespoons ginger and chayenne pepper. Try to hold this...
