Klystra Out Of Business

I don't think it's a scammer, I,ve worked in IT for over 40 years and it's tougher to get a Domain up and hosted than you may think. There is a lot of checking done that the Doman owner is never aware of before the Domain and Web Page go active. Thirty years ago, I'd say you were correct, but not today... My two cents!!!

@intruder remarks :

It's certainly possible that some scammer bought the domain name, found the old site, and resurrected it to try to solicit orders...

It is possible to resurrect a "sleeper" domain name. .though purpose is somewhat unclear

Original post amended down as @docinny45 post below is more concise

It's tougher to get a Domain up and hosted than you my think.

Hmm..

1) register domain name

2) make dns entry

3) load pages on server.

Nope, doesn't take much at all. Been doing this since the early 1980's, hasn't changed all that much. No, there's not a whole lot of checks, regulatory or otherwise in setting up a web site or e-commerce site, other than the check (or credit card) had to be good.

Using normal web tools like "whois" tells us the domain was registered through "Domains by Proxy, LLC", which isn't that unusual for someone in the adult services industry. The site is hosted by Aspiration Hosting, which doesn't really tell us much either way, they have multiple data centers around the world, including in the US. According to Godaddy.com, the domain was registered in 1996, and last renewed in 2016.

While it's possible someone resurrected the site, if it's not someone related to the previous owners they would have had to have taken over the hosting account, and paid the hosting bill.

They're running virtuemart, an open source shopping cart system for their shopping cart system.

No idea if they're back in business. Does anyone answer their phone number? Has anyone tried mailing them a letter? The contact page has address and phone number. Hmmmm.

Two minutes with Google tells us their mailing address is The UPS Store #1805. Has anybody who has done business with them in the past compared this to their last place of business? Has anybody received product from this return address?

Might be someone bought the rights and is ramping up again, might be a scam. Would make sense to either call them or snail mail them, as if they've been only minimally active an email could be lost among the spam in their in box and missed. Definitely wouldn't order anything of any value until this is figured out. One possibility would be somebody order something cheap and see what happens and report back to the board.

Ok guys, go out and pickup a sleeping domain name and get it on the internet, in the United States. I know what I have to do, just to renew the domain names I manage... It's not the old days anymore, even for a sleeping domain name. As I said, it's only "my two cents" and valid only in the US.

As for getting a low cost item, I don't think so... one could have his/her credit card data stolen that way!!!

The following data is from internic.net

Domain Name: KLYSTRA.COM

Registrar: GODADDY.COM, LLC

Sponsoring Registrar IANA ID: 146

Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com

So, as you can see, no one has pickup the domain name "KLYSTRA".

I ordered from Klystra some years back when online ordering wasn't possible so you had to call him up on the phone and place your order. No issues then but now it's a different story. My personal theory is he died suddenly or had an overdose of 'Fuckitol' and just bailed and abandoned everything. The dust settled, nothing he sold can't be located elsewhere with the possible exception of his quality double balloon catheter sets which we all know and love (and miss). But even those are available in different, but effective design forms from other sources.

@Agasmic - Bottom line (haha) they is Kaputnik

You might want to try "SeekingHealth,com." They have very nice, well made, clear silicone four quart enema bags . I have three and the quality and prices are very good. They also ship orders fast.

Thank you for information about klystra and optimal health

I would like to build a replica of a JBL bag. I can fabricate the nozzle/valve assembly but where can I find a large closed top bag? All of the large bags I've found are open top and I don't think it would be practical to make a stopper to fit into the large opening. A closed top six quart bag may be impossible to find but there must be some four quart bags out there somewhere, anybody know of sources?

@hoseman1 - www.medicaltoys.com may be able to help or possibly suggest a Large Bag distributor

Just visited the site; it appears they will take orders (and payment). No mention of product availability. Checking with the BBB, they have an "F" rating; there are no specifics as to how Klystra scored on the several categories the BBB uses to evaluate a business. There are 3 complaints on the BBB site about failure to deliver product.

Sure would like to see Klystra up and running as in days of yore. The present business may well be a scam.

Not sure how you were able to visit klystra.com. The domain is still valid, but there are no valid ns records for it. This has been the case for a couple months now. https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3aklystra.com&run=toolpage Where ever you went to, it couldn't have been klystra.com!

It's a small one or two person operation last I heard, some time ago, but that's all I know. Hope they send you your order.

I KNOW that Optimal Health Network will fill your needs.

George Lynch was the founder, owner, and operator of Klystra since 1987. He ran a reputable business in Hawaii and orders placed to his company were shipped promptly. I was one of his first customers and, along with a few others, helped him get started by giving him startup money for which I subsequently received a 45% discount on all of my many orders, until sometime after 2003. One of my large and expensive orders went missing in shipment and was never delivered; when I phoned to advise him, he replaced it with an identical order for which there was no charge.

I do know that George was up in years and that might be a clue as to why his business finally folded. It seems a family member or friend moved his business to California and closed it out to sell his remaining stock. If anyone finds a company claiming use of the name Klystra, it would surely be a scam outfit.

Not into reading the whole thread but here's what I know.

I was good friends w George. I was one of the initial investors he got together to form the Klystra company.

Our return for this investment was a lifetime major discount on anything Klystra produced.

As George got older and ready to retire, he moved the company to CA so that his nephew, Robert could take over the business.

Robert did not have the enema interest George did, but appreciated that Klystra was a successful company, and kept it going for a while on his own.

But without real interest in the products, and other competitors in the upper level enema equipment market, Klystra basically sold out it's existing inventory, and then closed down

I was also one of the early investors (#5) of Klystra when George was getting it started; and like the others, we received a great 45% discount. With the difference in time zones, I used to call in an order around 11:30 at night, which would be early evening for him. He was great to just talk to about his new custom professional kitchen and showing people around the island. Eventually, we would get around to the order and if there was anything new to be had. Shipping was always received within 3 days to IL from Hawaii. He is greatly missed for supplies as well as for being a great person.

@jimmyt44 Have you ordered an enema bag from Optimal Health? I'm considering ordering their 5 quart silicone bag. https://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com/5-Quart-Silicone-Classic-Fountain-Enema-Bag-p/204.htm

I'm hoping it's better than the silicone enema bag I purchased from Extreme Restraints. https://www.extremerestraints.com/silicone-open-flow-enema-bag.html

Iheartenema, I have ordered 3 different bags from Optimal Health and have been very satisfied with their products and speedy service. You can find less expensive sources, but OHN is my "go to" site for sure quality and fast service. I get their weekly emails, which often announce sales and coupons. I have complete confidence in Christina and her staff.

I'm curious about what was wrong with the one from Extreme Restraints.

I don't own either of the ones you mentioned.

@jimmyt44 I used OHN at least once and while they are a legit site with good variety of supplies, I wasn’t happy with one item. I bought 2 open top yellow bags that eventually melted together and to the bottom of the suitcase I stored them in. I guess that was my fault for storing them that way, but it didn’t enter my mind that they would ‘fuse’ together. Even if they were separated, the flat bag would have sealed to itself!

Not 100% certain but I think they are out of business.

Klystra is gone, deceased, non existent, is no more, is late, departed, not coming back!!!

apologies to Monty Python's parrot skit.

@SwitchableSusie the tubing that comes with enema bag I purchased from Extreme Restraints is very stiff. I wonder if it's made of vinyl instead of silicone. So I replaced it with 6 feet of silicone tubing from Optimal Health Network (https://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com/Clear-Silicone-Enema-Hose-p/617-sk.htm). Also, the bag from Extreme Restraints does not stay open the way Klystra's does. I think it has to do with the design of the open top. Klystra's bags were really the best. I wish I still had mine.

Klystra closed? I did bust my b****x and would order a new one ,now where i could get a good one?

The original owner, George passed away and company relocated to CA. I think the new family owners couldn't make a go of it and have closed their doors. I buy my gear from siliconenozzles.com Bob is very attentive to his customer base.

Klystra closed? I did bust my b***** and would order a new one ,now where i could get a good one?

I can second the recommendation of Silicone Nozzles, who have a newly developed inflatable nozzle, but they have a three-month backlog on it. You could also look at https://www.medtech3000.de , who have some good products of more conventional design.

Gone, just gone, it sucks and yes you can find plenty of other stuff sadly no one seems to be stepping up to fill their shoes.

I was wondering id Klystra is gone. The site is up but no replies. I did purchase some high quality items and would like to purchase more. Thanks

They are gone years ago.
