My wife asked me about the subject a few days ago when she came across (snooping no doubt) my Higginson pump. She said her experience witht hem in hosipital left a great deal to be desired and never wanted tot repeat it.
She was bathing yesterday, and I came intot he bathroom with the pump and asked if she wanted to try it out and she "Yes".
I got her to lay back in the tub and lift her bottom up so I could get to her rosebud, and I used a bit of my shaving gel (my favorite as well) to make it easy to insert the tip.
I only gave her 8 squeezes of the bulb as I didn't want to scare her off her first time with. Once done, I pulled the nozzle out and she lay back to soak some more.
She asked me how much I used, and I said I sometimes used up to 65 or so squeezes of the bulb but sometimes only 8 squeezes was enough.
I helped her out of the bath (she still has some weak muscles from her hip surgury) and gave her some privacy to finish up.
When she was done, she said she was glad the next door duplex was empty because she had really grunted when she let the contents of her bowels out.
I hope to give her a bigger one this weekend. I'll let you know how that goes.
