Childhood Enemas - Equipment used on you

We had in our house 2 different types of syringes, a big red bulb with the name BF GOODRICH on the box and a big blue pumpkin bag with the name faultless on it and both were used on us kids,10 of us. We also had a hotwater bottle but it did not have a hose for enema use, It was green color and had the name Montgomery Ward's on it. So lets hear what your moms had to use on you in those enema fearing years, especially if you can remember the names on the equipment boxes, Some also had the name on the equipment like that faultless bag did stamped right into the white rubber holder on the top. There was no name on the bulb syringe it was on the box itself.

I got my first enemas with a littel red bulb syringe, then moved up to the standard red bag. The bag was made by the Seamless Rubber Company, and it was called TROPIC. It ahd an underwater scean embossed on it, and had a red hose and black attachments. And the wonderful metal snap sounding clamp. I have two of the bags now, and when i left home, i got the red bulb to take along. The bag split out back in the 70's and we got a new one from the drug store with a white hose and plastic clamp. Tha one is with my mom now, but I still use my childhood ones for my special sessions.

Started much the same as every one here over Moms lap red bulb at 5yrs went to red bag then at 6yrs she got a new bag it was white . IT had black nozzles bulbus style douche tip . Later found out bag was 3 qts . I could not weate to see how long it would take for me to fit douche nozzle in my butt . by 6 1/2 made it felt great

I developed a hernia when I was about 1 year old. So Mom used a small ear syringe and then an infant rectal syringe. I had the hernia repaired when I was 5 and for a couple years Mom used and adult rectal bulb syringe. Then we went to the red 2 quart bag. About the time i was 11, Mom got a JBL Cascade sit on enema bag that she used. I used to sneak an enema using it when I could. Mom caught me using it, so from that point on she "made" me use it.

The JBL was made of heavy rubberized canvas, and was kidney shaped. It held 5 Qts. of water and had a nozzle fitted into a domed valve. To use , You griped the nozzle handle and as you sat, you guided the nozzle into your rectum. The nozzle was only about 3/8th's of an inch in diameter and about 3 1/2 inches long. It had 4 rows of hokes on the sides. It was a real comfortable way to take an enema. I think they quit making them in the late 50's. I used up 2 of them the last one lasted for about 30 years before it couldn't be repaired.

One of the company's make a sort of one but it is not the sane as the old original.

Sure hated to have to throw out that old bag.

You can order JBL kidney shaped sit-on type bags from Klystra, Beth Tyler, and Ebay. That way you can re-live childhood memories without having to track down an original JBL that probably leaks anyway.

The equipment used for my fist enema was a funnel and colon tube by nurses in the hospital where I spent twelve years.I truly like the funnel system with my wife because she really gets involved.

All of my childhood enemas were given to me with a bulb syringe. When I was very young, my mother used a 1 1/2oz. bulb. I don't remember it being used on me, but my mother told me that it was what she used on me while she was using it on my infant sister. Most of my enemas were given to me with a Rexall Defender 4oz. bulb. After 8yrs. old She would use a Rexall Defender 8oz. bulb. I used to hate it when mom would tell me that she was gonna give me an enema. I hated enemas as a child. She stopped giving me enemas by the time I was 10 Yrs. old.

Thanks but I did purchase one of Hlystra's JBL bags. It was OK, but the Nozzle and valve dome were way to big and uncomfortable to insert and to sit on for very long. The bag was soft rubber or? and was Squishy and hard to balance on. Then the seams suprung a couple leaks so I had to throw it out.

The original JBL was acomfortable to sit on for extended periods of tine. I used to sit there, take in some water, then read for 15 or so minutes and then more water. I used to be able to take in at least 3 Qts. that way and a few times close to 4 . I would always clean out the lower colon before doing the long fills. Sure hated it when the old bag finally died.

Growing up in the 40,s all my home enemas my mom give me was with a red rectal bulb syringe,it had a hard bakelite rectal tip and between the bulb and rectal tip was a white plastic cuff.the syringe back then cost 69 cents

it held two ounces of water when filled and as a child i got many home enemas from it.

I only remember the all black bulb syringe with the black nozzle. It was about an 8 oz.

When I got older and Mom got busier (4 boys)she switched to a bag. I know it was an open top but I can't remember the color, just the wonderful smell of rubber. It did have a metal clamp.

C L I C K !

Mine started with a small 1/1/2 ear red rubber syringe but by age 6 I was laid over my mother's nylon encased knees and injected with 2 quarts of water from a red rubber Service hot water bottle with the metal clamp on the semi rigid hose. Mom sometimes would take a FR 30 anal catheter and give herself a 2 quart enema from the same "Service" 2 quart red rubber bag. Mom continued to give me enema injections until about age 11. Little did mom know that I had reviewed all her rubber enema and douche equipment and had experimented with much of it on myself.

I did have my tonsils out in our local hospital in 1946 and the night before the operation I was given a rather large enema by 2 "sisters of mercy" one who held me down and the other who handled the rather large red rubber open top enema / douche bag. I was held down until all the solution had been injected then a bedpan was placed under me and I was held on the bedpan by one "sister of mercy" as the other pulled the enema tip out of my rectum.

That was an experience I will never forget.

For me it was a white enema can with red/brown tubing and black nozle beginning at nearly 5 years of age. Mom also had a 4-oz bulb I guess she used on me as an infant.

In childhood the equipment was always a red bulb with a large black nozzle. Mom would fill a very large bowl with hot water and inject and inject and inject until the bowl ran dry or I started to squirt back. These enemas were given on the bathroom floor and not OTK. I hated them then but love them that way now.

All enemas given to me as a kid were with a red bag, red hose and black nozzle. Several bags (combination & fountain types) were purchased during those years.

My Mother used the small red bulb with the white washer on it. I can still remember the two distinct feelings you had. The first was the nozzle going up you butt, and the second was when she squirted the water in.

My mother started with the small red bulb with the black nozzle, but soon discovered Fleet enemas. I was 4 at the time. Shortly after giving me many children's Fleet's she proceeded to only buy the adult size (4 oz.) for me. She began each session by heating them in a sink of hot water, then always gave me two to start, more if that didn't work to her liking.

Eventually she began using a bag after the initial results at the start of the session from the Fleet's. It was a red rubber bag with a red hose and a black nozzle. So a typical session would start with 2 heated adult Fleets, and end with one or more full soapy bags. These were very difficult for me. She also used her finger a lot.

My first enema (when I was five) was given with a red rubber Sears enema bag. It had a red rubber hose and a lovely black, bat-shaped enema nozzle. The shut-off (turn-on?) clip was rather unusual -- it had two positions rather like some lamp switches, not just a clamp of molded metal. The open-top bag didn't have a hanging hole but had two open 'ears' on either side of the top. I've not described it well but remember when one of the 'ears' gave way and the Sears bag was replaced by a newer enema bag of a brand I don't remember.

The popular equipment when I was growing up for administering an enema was the Higginson Syringe, the most common syringe was called the "Perfex" Enema Syringe, and made by the London firm Ingrams. It was a black shiny rubber syringe with a black nozzle, and the makers name and "Perfex Enema Guaranteed Not To Split" stamped on the squeeze bulb part of the enema. This was a popular enema, and would have been found anywhere in Britain and the colonies of the empire from the early nineteen twenties onward. There is something special about getting an enema from this equipment.

My aunt would give them to me and my sis. All I remember about the equipment was the big red rubber bags she hung from the shower curtain rod and the long white hoses and nozzles attatched to them. She also used a bulb type syringe with a big curved nozzle on it to fill us up sometimes. I remember it being a LOT thicker and longer than the nozzles on the bag type.

My mom used a bulb syringe on me until I was about 5. From then on, she used an enema bag.

The bulb syringe was small; it might have held 2 or 3 ounces. It was a dull orange color with a black nozzle. The enema bag was large (maybe 3 qts) with a reddish-orange hose and three black nozzles(child rectal, adult rectal, and vaginal).

I was about 7 when I received my first enema from my grandmother. I lived with her. I remember having gone to the doctor and he told her she should give me an enema. She used a bulb syringe. I remember it was red with a small white nozzle on it. She brought a bowl of warm water and sat it next to the bed. She gave me a few bulbs full. I remember finding that bulb syringe later on and playing with it when I was left alone.

I don't remember ever having an enema as a child, however on two or three occasions witness a brother and sister recieving enemas with a small red bulb syringe.

Another time after hearing my mother tell my fathers mother that she could borrow her 'enema' to treat my grand fathers constipation.

I did not know the term enema, but understood what constipation was. Putting 2+2 together realised that grandfather was going to get a 'squirt', my name for the enema, up his bottom to make him poop.

My mother handed over a cardboard box with Continental Bulb Syringe printed on it. I realised this was not the same thing used on my younger brother and sister.

Next time i visted my grandparents saw the box in the glass bathroom cabinet next to a jar of glycerine suppositries.

Sneaking a look found a small bulb with two separate hoses and a few other items.

As a Girl Guide was checking the requirements for a home nursing badge.

One assignment was to prepare a tray in case the visiting Dr wanted to give an enema.

Along with instructions to prepare jugs of hot and cold water, grated sunlight soap, a jar of Vaseline, and a higginson syringe, was a diagram of the higginson syringe with the two hoses attached to each end of the bulb.

Now I knew what that strange contraption in my grandparents bathroom was for.

Now I was really curious. I began to experiment squeezing water up my bottom with old plastic makeup tubes while in the bath, which did not hold very much. Liking the feel looked forward to the time I could try a real soap enema.

As a nursing student the tutorial on enemas an suppositories inspired me to see if my mother still had the syringe. I was actually disappointed when the tutor sister said she was only joking when she had asked for volunteers to receive an enema.

Later in my training a girl in the class a head of me quit because amongst other things was sick of giving enemas and suppositories which I realize were reserved for the second year students. She did not know she was talking to someone who could not wait to be able to administer these same enemas,or that I gave them to myself.

I was really amazed when one ward sister instructed a nurse to push the tube high up in the colon and inject a large amount of water.

Now I am able to hold the obligatory two quarts.

From the talk of one or two girls after the class at least one was probably brave enough to offer her bottom for the demo.

Soon after I rummaged thru my mothers drawers and was rewarded with the wonderful find of the enema syringe wrapped in a pair of silky panties.

Shaking with excitement prepared my first enema and injected about three cups of soapy water. I loved it so much that it was only the beginning of a life long affair with enema syringe.

All of this happened in New Zealand where I born and bred. However I don't remember anything about enemas outside the family.

The enema syringe was the kind that can be pulled apart and seemed to be superior quality to the ones I use for my current enemas which often have alot of back wash.

Would love to find a better quality Syringe.

The enema equipment used on me when I was a child consisted of my Mother's red combination syringe with a black nozzle. Can't remember the name of it.

When little a red 1 1/2 oz enemas syringe, usually in diaper position.

I rememebr them being given to me on the kichen sink.When I was about 7, I had a bad flu, i remember being taken to the bathroom and mom preparing a soapy enema and then filling a red bag with maching tubing and a cream colored nozzle. Then it was over her lap, on which she placed a towel.This became a familiar position for me.

My parents used a 2 quart Davol Comfy enema bag for my enemas with varying amounts depending on my age.

I was given a few enemas every Sunday night over my moms lap in the bathroom.open top bag with a black nozzle. I can still see the big jar of Vaseline she used as lube. When i had a stomach ache, i would get a suppository than a enema.

I got enemas with a red 2qt bag with a black nozzle, sometimes when she was giving me a soapsuds enema she would use the bulb syringe, knowing it would take longer I think she wanted me to feel the sting of the soap

My aunt used a red bulb with a black nozzle. I used to hate these sessions, but after awhile, relized that they were quite enjoyable, especially the multiple insertions.

The first one I remember was with a red bulb with black nozzle from my grandmother and mom. about 4 then. the second was with a little all black bulb. that same day I was introduced to the bag about 7.

After reading through the forum memories come flooding back. Parents used a home made contraption using hot water bottle and tubing that was way too thick and stiff... Boy was that punishment
