Fleet Enemas

I have used Fleet enemas for a quick clean out when I didn't have another good alternative. But that doesn't happen often. I enjoy the thrill and embarrassment of purchasing Fleets and wondering if the young person at the check out counter really understands what I am buying. However, for enema pleasure, my two quart bag and bat shaped nozzle are the means for pleasure and satisfaction. I want to feel the nozzle and experience the full feeling and the expelling of the full two quarts.

Yes i got fleets

I hate fleet enemas. I tried them to see what they were like.

They have caused me to have rectal/anal bleeding in the past and I will never use them again.

Susie my uncle used to tell me that fleet enema nozzles had a sharp tip ,and that if i tried to insert my self as a teenager id prolly puncture my rectum,so he insisted on giving the enemas to me himself when i was age 13 to 19

i didnt mind ,i liked him giving me the enemas

It isn't a sharp tip. It feels smooth and I lubricated my anus by sticking my lubed finger in and out as well as the fleet tip so it went in smoothly.

The strongly hypertonic solution injured my rectal mucosa.

I don't have much experience with the enema scene, but maybe one day I will. I have only had Fleets enemas in my life. I inherited my mothers bowel issues I think, lol. I used to have a lot more issues growing up and they have gradually gotten less over the years. I hope it continues that way.

Oh i see

I don't know the reasons you're considering using them, but here's my experience:

I have had long-term problems with constipation/IBS-C. In trying to figure out a way to keep me more comfortable I did try Fleet enemas for a while, but they often burned and I found they didn't work very well. I would wait 10-15 minutes and get just the liquid+mucous or a bit of stool out probably 3/4 of the time. I know there was stuff in there, because they were after 3+ days of no BM.

That coupled with the warnings (possible kidney damage if you absorb too much phospate, multiple reports of tissue necrosis especially if there's a wound - but keep in mind that both of these were generally in older people) and I stopped using them regularly. I suppose I would try one if I was out somewhere and got backed up, but otherwise I avoid them.

When I do an enema the large volume ones seem much more effective and I don't have to worry about keeping enough on hand - there's always water at the sink.

A Fleet enema has it's place in some cleanout regimens.

It as can sometimes make a good first enema if a child makes it t pre-teen years without needing an enema

You can always pour one into a bag of soapsuds.

Here in the US you CAN safely buy the generic at around half the price.

Used"stand alone" you may want to add - ounces of plain tap water with a bulb just to make sure it propagates better.

I've heard that people who do anal sex use it for prep.

Not totally worthless, but not really made for serious klismos like us either!

Agree, Fleets are not for the serious klysmo. My wife and I have used them on occasion (years ago) for just an added sensation while making love. With me on top, she would insert the Fleets nozzle in my anus, and give me a nice short enema while making love. The extra sensation was pretty nice. Beyond that, forget Fleets.

You can always pour one into a bag of soapsuds.

As I understand it a Fleet functions by drawing water into the intestine with a hyperosmotic phosphate solution, and the drawing of liquid into the intestine irritates the rectum and enhances peristalsis.

If you're diluting it down then it would just serve to hold the water in the intestine the same as salt/soda solution does, right? In that case why not just use salt/soda, as it's cheaper and safer (no phosphate absorption).

Not sure about the "good first enema" bit either. Sure it's small and nonthreatening, but they're pretty uncomfortable, especially when cold, and they burn. If I ever have to give my kids an enema I'd start with something gentle.

I have used them from time to time especially when traveling and was not able to either carry my bag with me, or purchase one. Fleets contain too much of a chemical solution for my tastes so prefer the "old fashioned " enema.

I really hate them. I feel burning and uncomfortable for hours after. I really feel bad for patients I have to administer them to.. I have to keep my mouth shut and just give them on Drs orders.

I have had to take one prior to surgery..... wasn't a pleasant experience, but wasn't a terrible one, either. Not something I'd wan't to do on a regular basis, but as a shorthand pre-op prep, I could live with it again....

Last time I gave my sub an enema I'd procured a Fleets saline enema, emptied half of it out and replaced the volume with glycerine. Dramatic results. Tho she did not say it was terribly uncomfortable.

I'm not fond of them either. They cause tenesmus in me.

Agree with Susie. I find them extremely irritating to my ano/rectal tissues almost to the point of bleeding, and I feel irritated and uncomfortable for hours afterwards. My last one just to see the effects was about 2 months ago and I'll never use one again. My surgeon told me to take a "routine" Fleet enema the night before some upcoming anal surgery (hemorrhoid) about a month from now. I'm not taking it, and at the time I would normally take it I'll just push in a nice soothing bulb of warm water instead. The day before, I'm planning a series of 3-4 nice pleasant saline or water enemas to a) get myself cleaned out as high as posssible, and b) help relax me before the next day. I'm not looking forward to the surgery recovery, but I sure am looking forward to the lovely clean out procedure the day before.

Wow. And I kept thinking you were such a nice cultured guy. Do I ever wish I had a (woman) sub who would let me give her whatever enemas (or anything else) I thought she needed. 50% glycerine mixed with Fleet's solution would be something to see her take. I'm surprised she didn't blow you out of the commode. (Maybe she did - "dramatic results"?) I'd really seriously be interested, medically and personally, to have you send me a PM or Email and describe the "dramatic results" in great detail, including her vocal and physical reactions. Does this wonderful sub of yours have a sister similarly inclined? I can travel. ("Have Enema - Will Travel"). Looking forward to your detailed description. I hope your Christmas was wonderful. Happy New Year.

I usually have a Fleet type or two on hand. I do not like them as a primary enema for the same reasons many others here have said: Unpredictable, irritating to the rectum and anus, not much fun compared to a "real" enema.

However, I find them to be helpful as sort of the last resort. Sometimes if I have had several larger volume enemas the last one only comes out partially but I can still feel substantial water in my gut. I find a half or full Fleet type will bring about a pretty good expulsion of the retained enema within a minute or two. And the retained enema flushes the Fleet out of the rectum avoiding the irritation that sometimes happens. It works for me.

This is how I got started with enemas almost 45 yrs ago. I still use 2 or 3 a month when I don't have time to use my regular bag. I've never had an unpleasant experience with one, but we're all different.

I got an awful lot of them growing up, mainly because I had a greater fear/dislike for the bag. It was the appearance I suppose, I didn't like seeing a Fleet set out either, but the few occasions I had seen the bag seemed especially dreadful. It wasn't until I was older and on my own that I finally realized that what I had thought was the worst kind of enema to get was actually the most comfortable.

I keep a few on hand, even use one rarely, usually when I do it's because I don't have a lot of time to sit on the pot in the morning, can't go in the time that I do have, and don't have time to have a regular enema.

They do burn a bit, and they don't feel very good on even a slight hemorrhoid. And they are always cold lol. No wonder I didn't like getting them, Fleet had made a milder version of their enemas a few years back that wasn't too bad just to help with going to the bathroom sometimes. They seemed to have dropped that line though.

What I did after my last Fleet I tried just to see what it would feel like after many years without one (it was NOT pleasant, as I suspected), was to empty out the other Fleet bottles in the pack and rinse and refill them with plain water. Even after an unpleasant Fleet done just before that, when I squeezed in the plain water from the Fleet bottle, sort of to rinse the Fleet solution out, it was about like a little dose of heaven on Earth. Nice warm plain water, felt soothing and stimulating at the same time. I left the other Fleet bottles full of water for use later and every one felt beautiful going in and coming out. Fleet's are history, even if a well-meaning but misguided doctor tells me to use one. I'll just flush in the remaining pure water Fleet bottles (2 left now) and when I run out of those just use a bulb syringe for a nice warm rinse.

I've had about 4 or 5 Fleet enemas over the past few months. They are very fast acting! I lie on my left side with my right leg pulled up. I liked the enemas a little cool so I could feel it. After I gave myself the entire enema, I roll into an ass up, chest on the bed position. I really love knowing my rectum is exposed. Just within a couple minutes of that I'd have to expel it.

I have been getting the FLEET products most of my life even since infancy. I have always had a constipation problem since being a baby girl. My mommy started using the child Fleet enema's on me along with the paediatric suppositories & as I grew older, I did complain at each time I needed a helper(as my mommy called them). My mommy always kept at least 4-5 of them in plain view along with the suppositories on my bedroom dresser.

Before I was potty trained and still in diapers she would administer to me and quickly get me diapered. When I was getting potty trained she would administer then sit me on my potty chair until I filled it. Now that I am older and still live with my mommy and older sister,she still administers to me.I hope it never stops,I have grown sooo used to the whole process that it no longer upsets me or bothers me. I soo love the feel of getting it, just so relaxing and comfortable for this girl. But I am only me so I totally understand how uncomfortable they can truly be.

I have used them and find that they burnerd!

I have used one on occasion; a fleet for me is very effective and without unpleasant side effects. I prefer that it is relatively quick to administer and leads to results without too much delay.

I do Fleet enemas quite often. I don't always take the time to do a bag enema so Fleet's are quick and convenient. I like to use the large, 7.8 fluid ounce, saline type. I find them quite effective for both evacuation and cleansing.

As Moliere said above, a Fleet (called Microlax in Australia) works by attracting fluids to the bowel. Therefore, if you are not adequately hydrated it will sting and just make you uncomfortable without any stool being passed. If I thought and thought I perhaps could find one single good reason to use them ... as a single use disposable they are (or should be!) totally hygienic. However, with careful cleaning of your equipment the same hygienic result can be achieved.

Among serious klismos I doubt you will find too many fans of fleet enemas they are simply too low volume.

That said, they d have their place even for us.
