Bulb vs. Bag vs. Can

I have bags as well as a stainless steel can which I use for coffee enemas. Rubber seems to smell of coffee for some time despite every effort to thoroughly rinse out. The downside of using a can is that it is impossible to tell how much solution is left in the can unless you attach one of those flow wheels, but even then, it's a guess. When I was in Europe for a few years, the only 'bag type' device I could find was a blue-colored vinyl container in a rectangular shape that had a very wide top fill opening and flimsy, weak white plastic hanger. This still seems to be the style bag in use 'over there'.

I made a can out of a 2 1/2 qt bucket that I found at the hardware store. It has graduations on the side so you know how much you take. I also have a bag too. The one thing I like about the bag is you don't get much air (less cramps I think). But the can is much easier to add to if you want a little more or you need a little soap or whatever. Yeah there is always just a little bit left in the bottom but that ok.

I have and use both bags and bulbs. Of course, a bag is much easier to use when giving to yourself, but when sharing with a partner the bulb offers more stimulation.

I believe the Bulb with soapsuds as a opener for a cleansing enema retained as long as possible. Expell and have it followed by a larger quantity of plain water from a bag. You will get more into the bowels because the feces and part of the air are out already, so now you will get more water higher up without problems.

I must say that the bag when properly used is definitely the best.

Although I use a bag once in awhile when I crave that full feeling and the somewhat helpless feeling of expelling, I much prefer a bulb with a large diameter nozzle.

I got frequent enemas in childhood in the diapering position from a young aunt who loved giving me enemas, particularly when she found that I loved them. She was very slow when she started--cooing playfully as she filled the bulb, moving the nozzle toward me, which I could see in anticipation between my legs, touch it to my bottom and wait, then I could feel it going in ever so slowly until the bulb was snuggled against my bottom. She got to stroking it in and out for awhile, and as the years progressed, I would get erections from the stroking, particularly when she had been giving me enemas with a douche nozzle. That's what has captivated me into aduldhood.

I crave feeling the nozzle stroking in and out of me even more than feeling the water filling me. I often put the nozzle in me with the weight of the full bulb as an "anchor" laying on the bed and hump back and forth as the nozzle titilates me to ecstacy. This why I prefer a bulb.

I have the good fortune of occasionally traveling to visit a friend who is quite knowledgeable in anal sensitivities. She takes up to a half hour to play with me anally, first playing a well lubed finger in and out of my bottom, then a couple fingers, then a jell dildo, then finally the nozzle of a bulb syringe, after which she squeezes the bulb. I enjoy the surge from bulb, which isn't evident with a bag. She taught me how to squeeze my anal sphincter as she moves her finger or the nozzle in and out of me.

All in all, I fell a bulb can be a better toy for those who are anally erotic.

I often wonder what others think about their preference for a bulb syringe.

I got mostly bulb enemas as a child, although not a great number. Perhaps that is why I am now soooo very very anal erotic. The way your Aunt used the bulb and how you describe using it is most familiar to me. I love to have the nozzle put against my anus and almost but not quite inserted so it teases my anus and makes it spasm. I try to reject it as long as I can. The nozzles with a fat although not too large tip are just great for this. When it finally enters, my anus grips it tight and wants to keep it. The surge of water is much better than what a bag offers. When it is removed, I try to grip it and keep it which also teases my anus again. The good part is when you have to do it all over again after the bulb is refilled. It is of course much better with a partner who knows what to do. One tip to I'd give is to not use too much lube so there is some resistance.

I have made all my enema containers from food and juice pitchers.All you need is a spout[better known as a barb]a drill and some windshield silicone sealer to make your own enema containers.I made a one quart, a three quart and a 3.5 quart.I painted gradual markings on the sides of each clear plastic container so I'll see exactly how much solution I am taking in me.They are fun to make and last foreever,some of mine are thirty years old.The containers are very easy to clean and store.If you need more info as to how to make an enema container,my e-mail address is availble on this site,be glad to help.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

Disposible bags. Good for hygiene practices.

If you want something to force the liquid in under pressure I think a Higginson pump would be better than a bulb. Bulbs need to be filled and then squeezed taking care not to release the pressure. If you do the liquid ends up back in the bulb.

I find a bag easier to relax with.

Don't forget the can! I prefer the can or the bag when I go solo. When I'm playing with a friend, I prefer a douche bulb syringe or a rectal bulb with a douche nozzle attached.

I like a variety. Bulbs are great and easy. For best results and relaxation nothing beats the bag.

Ooooh, this topic is sooooo sexy, just coming across the question in your headers has gotten me aroused! But I digress. The bag, primarily, although it usually involves a lot of foreplay with the nozzle or nozzles. I occasionally like a bulb, but mostly enjoy the bag more. Maybe it's the submissive aspect for me being a guy? Or the losing control.

Nothing beats a bag, as far as I'm concerned.

Stainless steel cans have been presented for a long time on eBay for $39.95 or more. Recently the can has been offered without attachments for $19.95. All of us have ample tubing & nozzles so I went for it. The can arrived on the 3rd working day, today. I have a copious collection of cans, so I finished supper before opening the box. Well! How-do-you-do!

This is a hot piece of equipment. It's high quality, not a scratch; really nice little spout at the bottom; sits on the counter or hangs on the wall.

The best part is that this gem holds 2 1/2 liters. The instruction booklet shows positions, recipes,frequency of use, and debunks many myths about frequent enemas. In case you patted yourself on the head when I listed 2.5 liters, hold your applause. The instruction booklet recommends that the patient or nurse refill the can before seeking relief on the throne. Be brave....... this won't hurt. Your Mom said so.

Klysterforme,

Just for fun, set a water glass beside your enema can. Siphon from the can into the drinking glass. Now as your can empties, so does your drinking glass. Just don't get wild and knock your glass over, the siphon will continue to drain your bucket of goody as well, then.

I have a 4 quart stainless steal can i bought this last year. it is well made and you can run it thru the diswasher if you dare. it will surely out last me.

I use a clear enema bag and have a few old white enema cans. My grandmother always used a white can when giving me my enemas. I never knew how much was left to take. I loved to hear the sucking sound as the last drop leaves the can for my over full butt

"I never knew how much was left to to take" certainly rings a bell with me. Mom, of course, would say there was "only a little more" for me to take from the enema can, but I think the can started out more than half filled with warm soapsuds.

Plastic gallon container makes a nice enema can. A few feet of hose and some barbed fittings and you have it. Drill a hole in the base of plastic container; insert the barbed fitting (available at Home Stores) attach hose and clamp and you have it... Very simple and inexpensive as well.

I found an enema can at a flea market. The seller was clueless as to what it was for and called it a hanging planter. I didn't correct him, but bought it for only a few dollars, brought it home, cleaned it up real well, and have been enjoying using for a couple of years. Since then we bought a little rustic cottage on a lake and the can fits perfectly into the motif. I keep the hose and nozzle coiled in the can, but then disguise the whole thing with some plastic flowers that are sort of tacky, but not many people know what the can is really for. From experience I can say that you can prepare an enema a lot faster using a can than a bag, plus you can clean things up much easier too. It's great fun.

My enema interest was developed at an early age by experiences at home while being raised in a very "bowel conscience family" and during a few hospital. These left me with enjoying both ivory SSEs from antique open top red or orange fountain syringe bags or bulb syringes equipped with black nozzles and hospital style enemas administered with while enamel irrigator cans or white enamel funnels and red rectal or colon tubes using a strong hospital type soap solution. I'm not sure exactly what soap was used back then, only remember that these enemas were very strong and cramp producing. It would be interesting to learn more about what type of soap was used back in the 1950s. I also vaguely remember receiving hospital enemas that contained some sort of turpentine solution (wouldn't think of using that in an enema today though).

The home enemas were administered in a very strict and ritualistic manner (at some point I'll detail this here, but that's a long story). My early hospital experiences included the prep for and administration of a barium enema and sigmoidoscope exam using a rigid metal scope while positioned on a tilt table; a very uncomfortable experience considering a special bulb device was used to inject air to facilitate the exam. I came across a setup for this on Ebay once which looked more like a torture device than a medical tool (another very interesting story).

So to answer if I prefer a can or bag I'd have to split my vot equally.

Like Emom, a female friend who is very aware of what an irrigator can is really for keeps it on display in her bathroom, holding artificial flowers. As I have said elsewhere, my mom was a big fan of he enema can because of ease in filling and cleaning and drying. I guess i inherited that and have also given away a few cans from ebay .

I really like a bag better, I am afraid, I knock the can off in the excitement of a good fill

I prefer using a can as they are easier to wash and clean.

Another advantage of the can I just recalled is that it can be placed on a flat surface such as a bedroom or bathroom shelf to free hands for giving/taking the enema and refillling as needed.

Haven't tried a can yet but the idea is intriguing. Anything that adds a bit of intrigue to the process is welcome. 😃

I think I'd like the thought that I'd be using a very "old school" method.

If you really want to go "old school" ebay has vintage enema cans (sometimes called irrigators ) now and then.

Cans work great, but I like the image of a bag hanging on an IV pole. It looks forbidding. Ha.

I wouldn't mind a can, but I normally go for those travel kits that hang up in the bathroom by suction, or via a myriad of other means. They are cheap and I replace them often.

Being open ended I can easily top them up if I can fit more in.
