Best Position for deep cleansing?

I know this will sound strange , but using a gravity table, slowly move it to a verticle position and do your fill. It can't get more in tune with gravity than that!

For a thorough cleaning, you really need Knee-chest!

Be careful, NOT knee-neck or knee-head that will just give you a sore neck. For a female, the easy way is to use a little higher pillow under your knees than under your chest, and lay your head on the mattress!

I don't think I had a better enema than when I was very young and put in the legs-up diapering position. Colonics usually are given on the back too, with feet flat on th treatment table.

Knee-chest would be fine if there was a partner to help.

I am due will try knee chect & colon tube thanks!

Whenever i geta colonic the doctor usaully makes you get in the simms position for the first third of the prosedure then on your back for the second then finally in the reverse simms position at the end for a full cleansing. but i like to stay in the knee chest positoin since gravity really helps on that one

I like the knee chest position best for a cleanout, gravity helps pull the enema deeper into the bowel. I also think that the longer you keep it inside the bowel, the better the results. I prefer to hold it at Least 10 minutes, but 20 or more is even better, then a good rinse with a salt/soda solution , also in the knee chest position feels really good, and can be held even longer, i always feel lighter and refreshed afterward. Of course, you have to be relaxed, not rushed through these things, otherwise it defeats the purpose.

Seems to differ with my mood, level of stress. I know that no matter what position I use, slow filling works better than fast - at least for me. Sometimes, if there is too much pressure, I can't get the fluid to run into the sigmoid.

I think the best position for a deep cleansing is left side. Left leg straight. right leg up to chest as far as possible but comfortable. Enema must be administered slowly.

Retain as long as possible. Rubbing the right side of the abdomen helps bring it down.

Second enema in the knee chest position. The force of gravity forces the water to flow in deeper. I use a colon tube for second enema. I have found this method very effective.

Just my opinion, they all work about the same for me. Biggest question, how do I feel.

I find that being on my knees with my ass up high and my Right shoulder on the floor works really, really well. I can take 4 Quarts in this position with very little trouble.

I have found that using the "rotating" position is best for a deep cleanse. Try to divide a 2-3 qt enema into three parts.

Take the first qt or so in the left sims position, the second part in the prone position(hips slightly elevated), and the final qt lying on your right side.

Some hospitals up till recent years practiced this method. It can be uncomfortable however, but it allows the solution to completely fill the colon all the way to the cecum. This may also have to be repeated once or twice to enhance results.

Even in taking a high enema you will never be able to rinse more than the colon, for the Bauhin-valve will lock the small intestine towards the colon.

Face down with my butt in the air for sure, I just try to relax as mush as I can and take some deep breaths.

I can take the most volume on my back, with my butt slightly elevated using a pillow. But is that the best deep cleansing, I don't know. I have sometimes felt more cleaned out by just using a few smaller enemas in the Simms position, or as Nurse Nikki noted by rotating fromside to side.

Starting out in the Sims position, then rotating to back with my butt slightly elevated, right side,, back to Sims, and then maybe even with butt slightly raised and chest down for a bit, I can handle a full 4 qt enema without problem. I just go slow and keep changing positions. Very stimulating, and successful.

I like on my back or on stomach ass up and balls hanging so they aren't cramped during the procedure.

For me (I've been diabetic for 50 years), position is far less important than volume and mixture. I've recently started using 20 ppm bisacodyl followed by soapsuds. I use 2 ags connected to a Y-tube with clamps on all 3 hoses so I can switch in mid-enema. I load a large bag with 3 quarts of soapy water (I swish a bar of Kirk's Castile soap in 3 quarts of water for 2 and a half minutes), then fill the second bag with the contents of 2 Fleet Bisacodyl Enemas plus 39 ounces of tap water to make a little more than 41 ounces of 20 ppm solution. I start with the bisacodyl, then open the soapsuds clamp when the bisacodyl bag is empty. I keep the soapy water flowing until I can't take any more (usually around 80 ounces). When the cramps make me stop, I stay in position for 5 more minutes to give the bisacodyl time to develop it's laxative action high in my colon, then move to the toilet and let it out a little at a time, waiting after each expulsion so I get laxative action at each point along my colon as the bisacodyl moves down. By the time I'm finished, my entire colon has been stimulated strongly, and I have strong cramps that last about a half hour. It forces me to completely empty my entire colon, while the bisacodyl water rinses the soap out so I don't need a tap water enema afterwards.

I've also used this after a 24 hour fast to prep for colonoscopy, and my colon was better emptied than if I had used colyte.

I have tried all sorts of positions, but the best cleanout probably comes from my being in the most comfortable position possible. For me that is not the knee-chest, but most often it is on my left side because I can lie there in relative comfort and take the enema as slow as I want. Second choice might be on my back in the bathtub with my legs drawn up, a position that allows me to also watch the progress of the bag emptying.

Try this: Start in the Sims, (left side,) position fo 1/3rd of the solution then on your back with knees comfortably bent and supported for 1/3 the roll to right side for the rest. You will feel the solution move across your colon when you turn to the right side. You may increase the amount given on your back to as much as is comfortable before rolling to the right, this will increase the total volume given. Also, to speed up evacuation and insure complete evacuation you can crush 4 to 6 Dulcolax tablets and put the powder in the middle 1/3rd of the enema. This will move the bisacodyl to the right side when you roll over, (very similar to LJon but a lot cheaper.) Hold the solution as LJon suggests to get the best laxative effect from the bisacoldyl. He is certainly correct that this results in a very good cleansing.

If you want to clean deep, the key is inserting the water above the sigmoid with an 18-inch shower shot nozzle or a colon tube. Position is irrelevant.

Knee chest is best I believe, sometimes laying on a bed with a few pillows under you works, but not as well.

I think the secret to a good deep cleansing is relaxation. Have found that if I am getting or giving an enema from/to a lady for the first time, the knee chest position is not so good as it seems to tense up the body. So better to start the session with the most comfortable, sensual, position. Lube and insert while laying on the tummy, start the enema on the the side, particularly as the pressure begins to fill, then roll to the back for some abdominal massage. If all goes well and doing a second or third, then a deep enema in the knee chest position can be wonderful, you just need to get in the proper state of mind beforehand.

You mentioned buying drugstore enema bags. My experience has told me, they are made with relatively uncured rubber. Sniff inside a new dry drugstore enema bag. If that don't scare you, nothing will.

Aside from your position concerns, as entertaining as they may be, you need quality, safe enema toys. Buyer be ware!

@Lzrd, what's a little 1,3 butadienne among enema friends?

I think relaxing is more important than position. If your body is uncomfortable, how can your gut relax to take in whatever you consider to be a full enema. Ass-up is probably effective for some, but as an "older" person, I much prefer laying down. For me, the most effective is moving from left side, to right side, then finish on my back. With a full bag of a little over two quarts, I feel it go all the way to the end. I know some of you say that wouldn't fill you, but it works for me.

In my experience, the best results are obtained when one does not have to get up and run to the bathroom. My wife told me back in days when nurses had to do "enemas as until clear" it was always best to have the patient use a bedpan. It also saved the need to administer an extra enema if the patient flushed the toilet before an inspection was done.

Knee-chest is ideal, but Simms can do just fine two

The reason knee-chest is ideal is that the voluntary muscles are all close to the rectal opening. It makes gravity your friend not your enemy

Hanging upside down..would be the optimal position to take a full colon enema. Since fluid seek its own level...if you pour water into the rectum...it will flow to the cecum and stop once it is filled up to the rectum....Like filling a big “U”.

Law of fluid dynamics. Think gravity chair...with help

Also, easiest way to insert colon tube, without resistance...TRY IT YOU’LL LIKE IT TIMMY!

When I do a series of three 2 quart enemas I will elevate my hips while lying on my back- anus/rectum above my colon. This for me helps the enema drain into my colon and I seem to be able to take the enema more comfortably and without any cramps. Once I feel I have the enema flowing into my colon because my urge to expel seems to subside then I can lower my hips and lay flat on my back. I have been doing this method for many years and it makes for a very comfortable relaxing and erotic enema. While on my back, my hands are free to massage my abdomen and penis. The combinations of all the sensations from the enema and masturbation make for a grand finale orgasmic ending.

As far as getting a deep cleansing goes, this method definitely clears my colon by the third enema.

Hmm thx guys, I'm gonna try the laying down version. Up till now I've done it standing up.
