Best Position for deep cleansing?

I have been wondering about this.....I do 2-3 rather extensive clean out enemas a week, using one of the standard 2-quart hot water bottle kits from the drugstore (I wish I could make time for a shorter session on a daily basis, but work schedule is making that tough at the moment). I start off with natural evacuation, then 2-3 bags in a reclining (on back, left knee to chest, back slightly arched) and held for as long as possible before expulsion, and then move to a series of bags in the same position not held for very long and expulsion after each one. When the water runs clear, I then move to what I have been reading is called the knee-chest position (on knees, rear up, head to ground) and often find that there is more to come out. These two positions are the only ones I have ever used for enemas, and I'm wondering which of them (on back with knees to chest or one knee to chest and hips slightly elevated, or knee-chest) provides a deeper cleaning of the colon? Or are there others that are even better? Also, which is the best for getting clean past the transverse colon into the cecum?

One thing I have discovered, is that the sooner I move from the series I have lying on my back to the knee-chest position, the faster it seems I am able to get cleaned out.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer.

It will be different for different people, but I find that I get the best cleanout lying on my back.

I put a pillow under my hips to raise my butt a couple of inches. Then I hang the bag from the doorknob. This setup gives me a slow fill and it takes about 10-12 minutes to empty a 2 qt bag using the douche tip ( it stays in better). When the bag is empty, I close the clamp but leave the nozzle in and just relax until the urge to expel is strong. If I've used soapsuds, I'll follow it with a clear rinse.

I'm solo, and this works the best for me. I have used the knee chest and Simms positions. But I think they would work best with a partner.

One thing that works for a morning quickie is to hang the bag fairly high and let the enema run in while you brush your teeth etc. It's not real effective, but is a timesaver if you "just gotta" take a morning enema.

For just a quickie, I sometimes hang the bag from the shower rod, bend over and let it flow. It really doesn't give a good cleanout, but satisfies the "urge".

I very seldom take an enema for a general cleanout ususally they are foreplay for me. But occasionally I do need a good cleanout and for me it's achieved in the Sims position taking a very slow fill that I can feel going very deep inside.

Since I don't do this very often it does take me a long time to expel completely but when I'm done I feel great.

I have always been undecided about which position gives the deepest cleansing. My experiences have been, the more water I can take, the more feces I Void. If anything I think the knee, elbow position is probably the best but I do think every person gets a different effect from enemas and some people will find a different position that is best for them!

I have read (and personally experienced) that the best way to get a deep cleansing is to start out lying on your left side. Use a 4 quart bag (filled with very warm water with a couple of drops of castille soap and a couple of tablespoons of salt and/or baking soda). I would let about a quart or so flow into me while on my left side, then turn over on my back and let another quart flow into me, then turn over on my right side and let some more water flow before finally turning over onto my stomach or on my knees with my head down on the bed. These positions follow the natural curvature of your colon (up the left side of your abdomen, across your abdomen, down the right side). It also helps to massage your abdomen, starting at your lower left quadrant and massaging upward and across the top of your abdomen, then down the right side. When expelling, you can reverse the direction of the massage to help empty. It also helps to have your feet elevated a bit when emptying, and they make a special device for elevating your feet called a Welles Step.

Thanks to all for the advice/tips!

the longer you hold it the better!

I had always heard this, but had not tried it and instead would not hold for long at all. I had always thought that the longer you held the water, the more that would be absorbed and what did some out would leave nasty residue behind. However, recently I tried holding each 2-qt. bag in a series of 5 for at least 5-10 minutes each and it was amazing how much more effective it was.

The position that I have found so far from experimentation that seems to get really deep cleaning, for me, at least, is to finish up with the knee chest position (head to floor, rear up). I had completed several enemas on my back with hips elevated and was expelling clear water, when I moved to knee chest was surprised to find out that I was able to get more junk out.

For getting all the water out at the end, I find that bending to the left and then the right seems to help.

The first is on the left side with the knees toward the chest, then on the back, and finally on all fours with the legs spread and the head touching the floor. This works best for me or my partners.

I have tried all the various positions. What I've found so far is that when I am in the Sims position I can take in more. However, when I am in the knee chest position I get the best cleaning results.

I like to receive enemas on my back. It allows the giver to massage my tummy, allowing the stuff stuck inside to be released.

I think knee-chest is best for most people.

Moving around usually helps work the fluid through the colon, so just try changing positions a few times! 😃

Most of the time, the most I'm able to take is about 4 quarts. That's usually done on my back with my knees drawn up so that the giver can gently massage my belly.

On occassion, I'm able to take 4 qts in the knee / chest position.

I do best when the bag is only 2 feet above my hips so that the flow is relatively modest, even with the clip full open.

I like the knee chest position for two reasons. One it allows me to rock back and forth to let more water in and two it allows me to enjoy myself with my now free hands.quite stimulating to say the least.

I'm in agreement with all the people who responded favoring the "knee chest" position.

That works best for me, and is most comfortable.

I have tried others (all fours etc.), but, keep coming back to the knee chest position.

C.

On your back. Or face down ass up. The one and only time I took 4qts was a mix between the two and I didn't have any problems taking it all.

For getting it all out, on your back can't be beat. It goes much faster and is much more comfortable than sitting.

Ahh, good times.

I usually take mine on my back and hold as long as possable with hips evelated. To evelate my hip I will lay in a door way and run my legs up the sides of the door frame as high as i can get them almost standing on my head. That way the water can get far up my colon.

I always start with knee chest, then lay on my side for a longer hold. Just got an inflatable nozzle, works great for that.

Best 4 me is head down butt up bag on headboard and slow flow

very relaxed

If being given an enema by someone else the knee chest position will gibe the best results.

For the best cleansing effect, you're supposed to start on your side then turn to back, other side, then stomach.

I actually love the knee chest position as well but find that alternating between that and the leaning to the left and right, as well as massaging the pelvic area helps get the deeper clean to happen.

I start out on my back until the bag ementys and then roll to left side then face down then right side then hands and knees and the start over and hold each position for a min

I agree, laying on the back should the best pos for deep cleansing. You can make a "candle" position, this helps me to bring the enema in faster.

No question about it. On the back. It is most relaxing, easiest to stay in that position, easiest to massage the abdomen while retaining and allows the colon to fill without the other abdominal organs from "falling down" on the colon as it fills which is what happens in any prone position, including the knee-chest.

An don't forget, two enemas retained for a short time is better than one enema held a long time. The idea is to get the feces out, and that doesn't happen by holding in your enema. Just do a second one. It will take the same amount of time and you will get a better result.

I think the sims position is the best position. It is relaxing and yet allows the water to penetrate deeply in the colon. Tt is less stress on the knees thaen the chest knee position.

I have found that lying on my back allows me to take the largest volume.

To Deep Clean

I put a two quart bag up high, give myself a olive oil shot from my squeeze bulb. Then I get on all fours and place my face down flat on the floor as to elevate my anus as high as possible, so when I rock as if some one is fucking me, the water flows deep past most up-strutions in my bowls...

On normal day I stop there but if I am going to see a doc or lover

After expelling the first wave, I do this one more time with warmer water, I find this cleans the colon well as well a most if not all the large intestines

If I want deep cleaning, my favorite position is on my back with a pillow under my hips for elevation. After I feel I have enough volume, I roll onto my right side. Then massage and slowly roll onto left side so that I can use toilet and expel.

The best position for me to take an enema is in the knees/forearms position with back arched and knees spread about 12 to 15 inches apart. That way, your butt is high in the air, and your stomach is low so that the enema can go in very deep and fill the entire colon, and there is plenty of room for the colon to expand without any discomfort. I always get very good results every time I use this position.

On your back knees up
