Sears catalog

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.

Jimbeaux, I think I have that same reprint. Love the bags! But, did you ever notice that the page numbering has a bunch of pages skipped? Happens in other places too. I'm betting there were a lot more pages of bags in the real catalog.

I may just have to look up the Sears catalogs on ebay. After all, that is where I've bought some of my bags...

I never got to look at anything good in our book had a step Grandmother that would go thought it and tear out the pages with anything she thought was"unfit" to see but I would offer to take out the trash just to see all the new red bags and mens underware...I was in trouble often

Wow, what a trip to look at what it was like so long ago that is crazy very interesting to take a look in to the history of enema's

There must have been hundreds (perhaps thousands) of us who were drawn to the enema equipment pages of Sears and Wards catalogues in the 40s and 50s. This leads me to believe that for many, if not most of us, enema bags are a real fetish. I was disappointed when around the 60s traditional red rubber enema hoses changed to white plastic and the black bakelite noxxles were replaced with white plastic. But in recent years I have followed the offerings of old enema bags on E-Bay and have even purchased there or four 40-50s bags that I dearly love. Anyone else ready to admit a fetish for old fashioned enema bags?

I remember the enema equipment pages very well from my younger days. The enema and other medical paraphernalia were always interesting.

The ladies lingerie and underwear sections were also a "poor boy's" version of Playboy. I learned a lot about women by studying those catalogs.

Does anyone remember the Ward's catalog that was distributed in I think, the late 70's that caused quite a stir? An underwear photo inadvertently showed pubic hair peeking out around the legs on a pair of panties. That particular issue became quite a collectors item.

I think the last Wards catalogs came out in the early 80's, but don't know for sure. Sears catalogs lased a few years longer.

Really were the poor man's playboy...In Canada...we had a catalog company called Eatons...very similar to Sears...hot bras, undies, enemas etc....

I always liked looking at Sears catalog.

Something akin to the enema pages in the Sears, Wards,and Spiegal

catalogs is available on the internet with updates daily. It's

called Ebay and by searching, "Enemas" you can find all of those old

time stimuli that brought those "wish books" to life.

AHHHH!! Yes, when I was growing up on the farm we had a outhouse. We didn't have running water in the house so it was the outhouse and in the winter it was a pail with a toilet seat on it in the big upstairs closet. I was always masturbating to the underwear and enema pages. We always had catologs out there in case we ran out of toilet paper. I love butts 😎

I loved the days of yesterday, I feel that I was better off in those days.

People where honest, cops where cops, and bad boys where riding motor cycles yes there was an illegal areas that if you wanted to be apart of you could but I do miss them.

when we would get any catalogue I would take it and find the enema douche page first and then look for other thing to us guitars etc.

twice my mom caught me looking at the enemas and asked me if I needed one and the second time i said yes and I loved every minute of it ho how I miss mom 😜

Loved the sears enema pages wish I had been old enough to place an order. 😉

Me to, Hosemam-Hotliner

Those enema pages were quite titillating...especially one edition that showed BULGING bags...often wondered if the layout artist was perhaps also an enemaphile!

Yes, It brings a tear to my eye, We miss you Sears :'(

Yes, I couldn't wait for the new catalog. I particularly liked the large pictures of the bulb douche syringes with the lovely long thick nozzles.

One can still enjoy those classy ladies in girdles by googling girdled women. One of the sites has a gallery section filled with beautiful young women in period underwear.

Does anyone else remember the 'secret word' to look for in the index? 😃 😃

On the catalogs we received, there was often an index on the spine, and there was usually a larger index inside... I always sought out the word 'Hygiene'; wasn't sure exactly what it meant (I was only 6), but I knew on that page were always enema bags, and other neat things...

Happy Waterings...

Cos.

When I was 10 or 11 everyday and sometimes twice a day, I'd sneak the Sear's catalog out of the house and go into the backyard and look at the new enema equipment. One day while I was sitting there with my back up against a tree, I uttered the words "Mom, I wish you'd give me an enema!" Not knowing Mom was standing right there and that she had been for some time. Well, I guess she just curious as to what I was doing with that catalog. Well, after I said that she put her hand onto my shoulder. I about jumped out of my skin. I closed that catalog very quickly, but the cat was out of the bag so to speak. She knew that I was embarrassed and tried to calm my nerves. She took the catalog from me and sat down next to me. She opened the catalog back to the enema pictures and asked me in a very reassurring voice as to which one I liked the best.I pointed it out and she said that looked like a good un and that maybe someday we could get one like that. I began to feel at ease and told her thanks. She then asked me if I really wanted her to give me an enema then and now. I immediately became uneasy again. Mom sensed that and put

Her hand onto my shoulder saying it's ok that she ubderstood. I sat quiet for a minute or so. She put her hand under my chin and turned my face to her and asked again "son, well do you?" I looked down at the ground and said "please!" She then said "son, it might not be from that fancy enema bag from Sears, but it will be from the old trusty Rexall Victoria Combination syringe and it will be an enema! I leaned over to Mom and kissed her cheek. She took my hand and into the house we went where she gave me 3 enemas that afternoon. So, whenever I wanted Mom to give me an enema, I'd get the sear's catalog and take it to Mom. It always worked! And I did get that new Sear's enema bag as a Santa Claus present from Mom!

To😮nthebeach:

I have seen some Eaton's catalogs, from the 1960s and 1970s

They seem so much the same at the surface, but read carefully, things get different.

One interesting thing: Eaton's always listed the price as the Delivered Price, no Shipping and handling that is standard in American catalogs, even in that era. Was that a legal thing, or were they just trying to get a competative leg up on Simpson Sears?

In any case, that more honest pricing made it actually cheapewr by the time you got it to a Canadian address.

Also, in the girdles, American catalogs listed the same sizes in most cases, but did not mark them normally as "Junior" or "Teen" sizes. In Eaton's catalogs in the 1960s, any foundation garment that has the size info marked with a star is a 'teen size. Unabashedly, right out in the open!!

My grandparents get some kind of old timers magazine and it has all of these vitamins and special shoes, pillows, and canes. Stuff that just old people use, but then it has this one page and it has enema bags, douches, and vibrators. LOL. I love grandma but can not picture her usuing one of those, "medical devices". I am pretty sure they call them medical massagers too.

What is the oldest piece of enema equipment you either own or know someone who owns it?

I was fascinated by those pages (1942 & 43), particularly the combo with the "force flow" inline pump. Had no idea what that might feel like. It would be another 15 years before I bought one and found out.

Our home was sent a new Sears catalog twice a year. I always grabbed it to "look at the toys", but you know where I went first. I always kept one finger at the toy section for a quick flip in case an adult suddenly came in. I looked at the rubber goods so often, the catalog would automatically open to those pages. I too, took notice of the Sears Good, Better, Best ratings. I don't know who made the syringes for Sears, but they were great!

Just think back in 1960 you could mail order a 3 Qt bag for $2.60. Sign me up for a dozen!

The reproductions versions of the very early Sears catalogs had some wildly interesting bags and bulbs. I'll bet that stuff was well-made and heavy duty. Would love to have been on the receiving end of many of those items.

Yes ............ I have a collection of 1950's era Sears catalogs from my late mom's home . She never threw anything away . There are items in the catalogs that I wish were available today !!!! Three quart enema syringes , Sears ' Best Quality ' gum latex bags for $3.49 !!!!! I have often ' fantasized ' that the pretty , mature women who were modeling the now ' vintage ' all nylon full cut brief panties were also giving me a ' good enema ' from the advertised wares !!.....! Or that I was giving the above referenced panty model HERS !!!!! Everything was better in America in the 1950's !!!

--ah yes! Better than a comic book! Those wonderful years........

So many of us, all searching the sears catalogue for those enema pages and pictures, thought I was the only kinky one back then, no way to communicate then with so many like today. Also searched the Sunday papers for the drug store ads for the faultless stuff, those ads long gone to, when I go to the drud store always make it a habit to look through the enema gear asile!

Until the late 1970's the local newspaper would often contain a separate flyer for a drugstore or drugstore chain.

Some actually showed enema bags, fountain syringes, hot water bottles on sale, no joke, "buy one, get one free."

Possible pillow talk: "OK, honey, should we use the enema bag I paid for, or the one I got for free?"

From age seven I was secretly surveying the enema equipment in catalogs. I remember the first time I saw white nozzles. They looked inviting, but when I saw them for real I knew they were cheap crap. I frequent flea markets often looking for white cans. I happened on a dealer who specialized in old Sears and Montgomery Ward catalogs. I have about ten from the 40s and 50s. The MW pages were larger and sported enema bags and nozzles of exaggerated size. One could choose between two, three, or four quarts. Mmmmmmmm. I cut out the pertinent pages. The rest of the items in the catalog are always an education as to how folks lived back then. As a kid I figured I was the only enema freak on the planet, but the women were always discussing enemas . When I began teaching the guys were frequently joking about "triple H enemas" in the faculty lounge. I knew they had been there; done that.
