Sears catalog

The catalogs were good, but stealing peeks at the real deal on the drugstore shelf was the best...mmmmmmmm

Materials that were essential to my upbringing: Enema ads in Sears catalogs; Mom's "Glamour" magazine; Ads in the "Spencer's" catalog that sold "massagers"- all having lucious women and my dreaming about giving them all good enemas..... mmmmm Michael

This is great because for years I thought I was the only one who looked through the Sears catalogue for the latest in enema equipment. My family didn't get one but my great aunt who live several hours away did. Whenever we visited, which wasn't often enough, I always a major effort to find the latest catalogue. Then I had to find an excuse to spend some time looking at all the equipment.

Also I often used to take a casual stroll down the syringe aisle in the drug store hoping that no one would see me looking at the enema/douche equipment disply. It was always a treat when they were displayed in the store window. Can you imagine such a display happening today?

Those definitely were the good old days!

In Canada we had also Eaton's and Simpson's catalogs also .

Simpson's became Sears in later life .

I remember those days of seeing them in the Sears catalog.

I also, remember them on display in the local durg stores as well. I can recall in Texas seeing one on display in the front window as well. I remember seeing them in sales papers for Drug Stores over the years. Now your lucky if you see them in Wal-Mart, CVS, or Wal-Greens.

Always looked forward to visiting relatives who had sears catalogs at there house

There are many catalogs on EBAY for sale.

As I discovered the intense climax with an enema I would also have the Sears or Wards catalogs opened to the jump suits section. I certainly enjoyed looking and imagining the legs of those ladies spread for me or mine wide open for them. The thought of giving and recieving an enema form one of those ladies was how I enjoyed the catalogs.

I have a reprinted copy of the Sears 1902 catalog. Lots of interesting things in there that are no longer available. Also three pages of enema equipment. Of course during that time every house had enema equipment. They were a lot more open about them than we are today. They certainly weren't considered pornographic. Are we progressing or going backwards? Sometimes our society changes just for the sake of changing. Then they didn't fix things that weren't broken.....Jimbeaux

I was going through a paperback of an old sears catalog of yesteryear while being bored in latin class and was fascinated by all the different things they had back then...

Haha, good old days...

Yes, like many others I would check out the catalog, and get a guilty feeling for enjoying the photos and descriptions.

After reading these posts i wish i had thought to look at the enema equipment instead of just the lingerie.

This thread is great. It is interesting how many of us did the same thing as a kid.

It sounds like one of the listed symptoms of klismaphilia should be: give a mail order catalog, the first pages looked at will be the enema supply pages. The more sophisticated klismaphiliac knows to look in the index under fountain syringe.

This brings me to my first question:Why is it called a fountain syringe?

Second Question: Did, does anybody have one of those deluxe enema bags with the "Flo Control" hose? Is the Flo Control a pump bulb or it is it something you squeeze to constrict and slow down the water flow? (We only had a red bulb syringe at my house and my grandmother had an enema can with yellow latex hose and black nozzle (which I got to ride many time as a child). As a child looking through the catalog pages I always wondered about those Flo Controls hoses but didn't think I could ask anybody about them.

After reading this thread I wonder why no one has scanned in any of those old pages and added them to the Gallery?

(I think the spell checker need to be tuned for this site. It wants to replace klismaphilia with glassful.)

You know I'm 52 and still look at the lingerie first. I don't know why. Just a long time habit I guess. In Canada they used to have Molicare diapers but stopped after only a few years.

' DITTO ' for me to ' robbob ' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sears catalog enema pages and then on to the girls and ladies panties department ( all nylon fullcut briefs in those days and nothing wrong with that ) !!! The panty models looked so nice .... slim , trim , feminine and ' motherly ' !!!

As a Canadian I also looked at the enema pages but also kept a finger in the toy section in case some one came a round. Girdles, panties was also very interesting to look at. Sports like ball gloves and so on. redrub

Yes I also remember them in the Sears store in Brooklyn, NY in the 1960s. I loved to go there and wish for a nice enema from my aunt.

Actually my grandmother could be one of the few persons that could ever give me an enema! amazing!

No doubt about it the Sears and Wards catalogs made the bathroom reading experience most enjoyable! 😁

Although the Sears catalog was great, in my humble opinion, when it came the selection and variety of enema equipment it didn't hold a candle to the Montgomery Wards catalog. As a 7, 8, and 9-year-old boy, I would sit in an absolute trance looking at all the enema paraphenlia. I'm not sure when MW stopped sending out its catalog or when it stopped advertising enema equipment, but I sure would like to have a copy of the 1955 or 1956 edition. (I remember being confused about the word "douche." It took me a long time to understand what that was all about.)

I loved the two catalogs. My favorate sections were the douche/enema pages and the pages where the gridles were pictured. The both were very exciting

Yes, I also found the enema equipment in the Sears catalogs very interesting as well as the shoe section. I was just looking at the 1908 Sears catalog reproduction that I have, and there is a whole page devoted to pictures of "fountain syringes". I never noticed it before you mentioned that the word enema is not used in the catalog. In our household we had referred to it as the "enema bag", which hung behind the door.

Great post!

They were probably better made back then.

I was so pleased that that obviously I was not the only little boy that enjoyed looking at enema bags & equipment in the Sears, Wards, etc. catalogues. Those were always the first place I turned too. Miss those old catalogues.

I don't remember those catalogs for the enema bags and bulbs but as a girl used to look at fashions. Years later after I got married my brother came to visit. When he used our main hall bathroom he saw that the enema bag was hanging in the tub drying from use a day or two prior. He wisecracked to me about it and I said that, yes, I still took an occasional enema. That's when he said that growing up that he and his good friend used to look at the Sears Catalog and had a little competition to see how many syringes that they could find someone owned. This went on for a couple of years but it also turned the two of them into closet snoops. It was funny now, but I also learned that he had found my folding syringe and my name got added to a page in the catalog. I was in college at the time and I'm sure that I would not have been very happy to learn of this.

I also remember the Sears and Wars Catelogs. Peeked at them all the time in the 50's. True GOOD BETTER BEST. Amazining memories. Also the displays in the drug stores.

I always liked looking at Sears catalog. It was such a turn on to look through the douche/enema pages and the page with girddles on it.

I always grabbed the catalog when it arrived and went to the pages with the enema equipment and Bras. I always liked the nursing bras that had the door. I do have a couple reprint catalogs and found that the pages with enema equipment the word enema is not mentioned.
