Sears catalog

A link to some pages from an early 20th century Sears catalog. (I can remember eagerly flipping through every new issue of the Sears catalog back in the 50's to see if they still had an enema display. I suspect that the onset of Fleet (I think late 50's) cooled everything off a few degrees.)

Yes I remember looking at Sears catalog each year we get new one I would look at the enemas and douche bags and the bras and panties to . the had a good amount back in the 50s

We used to call the Sears catalog "The poorman's Playboy". I really enjoyed many of the pages when I was young. This was the closest thing to erotica we had back then. The lingerie and enema products were my favorites. They had a large section of girdles which I always found was a turn-on. When I was in high school, nudist magazines were starting to appear and the rest is history.

Aaaah, noting quite like the good old Sears "GOOD, BETTER, & BEST" enema bags, girdles, etc. 😜

And lets not forget the equally exciting Wards Catalog 😄

Oh, how well I remember looking forward to the new Sears catalog. At an early age I discovered the enema bag pages and soon learned how to look up 'enema' in the index.

Hey folks. Something to be said about a return down memory lane through the "olyde sears and wards' catalogs! :😃

Oh yes, the old sears and wards catalogs, brings back many memories, the enema bag pages, girdle, bra, and pantie sections. the good old days....

I have some fond memories of leafing through these catalogs. It wasn't only the Sears and Ward's catalogs that carried feminine hygiene products, but there were others like Aldens, Spiegel, Bellas Hess and Chicago Mail Order. Between 1900 and the 1950's these retailers would devote several pages to hygienic paraphernalia as well as girdles, hosiery and lingerie. By 1976 the douche and enema products were relegated to one page and the girdles to not much more. The beautiful women were posed so professionally and exuded so much class and glamour. It would be nice to have a catalog niche in the photo section of this site.

Great memories. I used to rip out the enema pages

There are many Sears catalogs for sale on EBAY with enemas bag pictures.

I used to spend Summer vacations at my grandmothers house where I would sit for hours leafing through the illustrate enema adds in both the Sears and Wards catalogs. One day, when I was 9 or 10, she aught me staring at the enema and douche bag ads before I could turn to a different section. I was speechles when she then asked me I were constipated and maybe needed an enema ?.

Although both she and my mom had given me enemas together when I was little, I had never had one from her alone, or anyone else for that matter. So, it was with mixed dread and excitement that I nodded my headed yes.

My grandmother was of european descent and very open about enemas. Her own red Wards bag hung behind her bathroom door with the hose coiled over the top of the bag. I don't remember now exactly how big it was, but it seemed to be larger than my mom's two quart ribbed bag.

Anyway, before I could change my mind, she led me to the bathroom where I sat on the closed toilet seat as she made everything ready. She swished a bar of ivory soapsuds around in the sink until the water turned gray and frothy and then carefuly poured it into the neck of the combination enema / hot water bottle bag using a small enamel pan that she kept under the sink. Soon the bag was bulging full with a trail of soapsuds dripping down the side.

Unlike my mom, who always made me lie on my belly over an old bathmat on the floor, my grandma hung the bag from the towel rack and once my pants & underpants were off, instructed me kneel down and bend over the rim of the bathtub.

I always liked the part where the pipe slides in and the clip is first opened, but was less enthusiastic about getting filled up until I had cramps. This time was no exception... Anyway....that was the surprise enema that I got from looking at Sears catalog adds.

I often wondered if my grandmother ever mentioned anything to my mom, either about my looking at enema adds or the fact that she gave me an enema herself. I guess I'll never know.

YES!!!, Those were the days. I use to go through the Sears, Wards & Spiegle catalogs that came to our house. All the medical and sick room stuff was neat ( I loved playing "doctor" when we were kids ). The enema/douche equipment was always my favorite along with the strap-on urinals. The ladies underwear was neat also, especially the nursing bras. If I was lucky enough to catch these old catalogs on their way to the old burn barrel in the back yard, I'd always tear out my favorite pages and save them for my personal enjoyment.

I have found old sears catalogs for sail on E-Bay and I think I may buy one just to have it around and remember the good old days.

Those catalogs really were an educational experience. I always checked out the enema bags and syringes, and found the other "Health Aids" and "Female Products" to be of special interest.

Since this was before "Playboy" and other magazines became popular, I also recieved a real eyeopening education on how girls and women were different from us boys. The underwear and swimsuits were especially interesting. I spent a lot of "quality time" in the bathroom with those catalogs.

One of my favorite events happened while I was visiting my Grandmother. My dads sister was there and as I was looking thru a sears catalog and she came over and said she liked enemas wanted to look at the enemas and asked if I'd like to look at them to and so for a little while I had a great time looking and talking about likeing enemas with my aunt Jenny.

OK matte1941...no fair leaving us hanging like that. What happened after you and your aunt closed the sears catalog? Not right after, but soon after.

I was abut ten when I began looking at enema bags in the Montgomery

catalogue. I had two questions. They were, how do you use the hose, bag

and all of those accessories, assemble them and take an enema? The other

question was how can one person hold that enema water, 2 quarts, from a

hot water bottle? It was still intregueing to look at all of that paraphenalia!

I also remember one item called a "Womb Supporter" that I wanted to know about

but didn't dare to ask. It sure looked uncomfortable. How did a boy of ten

use one of those anyway?

Sadly nothing happened. At that time my grandma only had water in the kitchen and a privy out behind the house. I never saw any enema equipment except at home. My Aunt Jenny said she didn't have an enema bag and I never saw one and she and her husband were just visting at Grandmas too. I can remember my dads little sister threatening her older daughter with an enema if she didn't produce some results while siting on the toilet but don't know if she ever got an enema. If I had enough guts I might ask her now as she is in her sixties. Just kiding 😁

I also remember going through the sears roebuck catalog in the 50's looking at the womens undergarments and enema bags and masturbating. quite a turn-on

I also look forward to a new Sears catalog coming. I always enjoyed the enema section and bras I liked the nursing bras best because of the door/window turned me on.

I do have the repos that came out and I wonder if anyone ever noticed that in many different products the word ENEMA was never used. 😄

I was brought up without any knowledge about enemas and then one day in my twenties I happen to see a Sears catalog and was naturaly curious to flip through the pages. Suddenly my eyes caught a double page of pictures of hot water bottles and open top bags with attachments and my eyes were fixed on these and knew then I wanted to experiment in taking an enema...

It was many years later when I discovered all the wonderful vintage enema sets for sale on Ebay and started to collect them. I now also have some original enema equipment pages from the older Sears and Montgomery ward catalogs.

Now I can fufill my enema dreams every day......

Ahhh...the Sears catalogs. Although we didn't get them at our house, whenever I spotted one at a friends or neighbor's you can bet it wasn't long before I had found a quiet location and opened it to the 'bag pages'. That was from about age 6 on. Nowdays, when browsing an antique shop and one of the old catalogs is spotted, history repeats itself. Them were the days...

Oh yes indeed. Sears, Wards, and even JC Penny. Some of my earlies fantasies were helped along by the bra and girdle (panties too) ads in these catalogs.

They truly were the poor mans playboy.

Those were the REAL good ole days..

Did you hear the one about the old time country gent who calls Sears and tries to order a case of toilet paper for the outhouse? Customer service asked him for a product number, and he says he doesn't know, he just needs a case of toilet paper. She says, "Sir, I need a catalog number to look up the item." He replies,"Lady, if I had a Sears catalog, I wouldn't NEED to order toilet paper!"

I did the same for many years. Now there's a hot water bottle/enema/douche combination in Dr Leonards catalog of health supplies. Very reasonable price too. 😉 chris

The old Sears catalog was good, but the Montgomery-Ward catalog had a much better selectin of enema bags, especially some huge bags in the 3+ quart size and those came with four tubes. Spegiel also had a rubber section and although small it had some more sopfisticated enema bags and their models wore great bras and corsets.

Our house never received any catalogs. But as a child, I had an aunt and uncle who lived in the outskirts of the city. At that time, they had no indoor toilet facility. Also, the toilet tissue consisted of old newpapers and magazines.

One day I when used the outhouse, I found the "toilet tissue" to be a large Sears catalog. I took the time to peruse the catalog and became quite interested in the female underwear section, but even more so in the array of enema bags, etc. illustrated in it.

To my chagrin on later occasions when I used the outhouse no catalog was available.

Great to know I wasn't the only one looking at the enema equipment in the catalogs it was quite erotic for me at that time I just wish I could have ordered some of the vintage equipment

How I remember the way I felt when the Sears catalog arrived. I couldn't wait to get my turn to go through it. I would spend a lot of time going through the Ladies undergarments, particularly the all in one corsets and girdles and don't forget the nursing bras. But obviously my favorite was the fountain syringe section spending hours looking at the fountain syringes and douche bulbs. I especially liked the "Control-Flo" feature on the "Best" quality syringes (a regular fountain syringe with a Higgenson for a hose). I always kept one finger in the toy section, in case someone walked by I could flip to the toys and not get caught.
