Bulb vs. Bag vs. Can

@Gretchen96 -- Yes it is a nice addition as regards family tradition (those memories huh) ..I too have my mothers white porcelain enamel "Douche Cans". . Yes plural , as she not only being a very accomplished nurse but was also more than well acquainted with the purpose for which they were intended. . .And yes, they got a regular workout, as did we children !! . . Even the small 1 Quart white enamel was not to be underestimated. .Some might say , yeah tell me another one !! . .but fully filled up with a good soap concoction & delivered via a higgy pump coupled to a long nozzle the ole bum got a right old tickle . . . haha . . . the delivery method naturally returned similar results as would the larger 2 Quart . . . Yep you were a goner either way.

@Emom-- I agree, you are absolutely correct in your observations as regards convenience of cleaning, let alone how easy they are to not only to fill but also to mix alternate ingredients if one so wishes, or alternatively mix in salt to take the edge off when one needs a little "gentle"....Of course I too am partial to the nostalgia associated with period paraphernalia & no I wouldn't part with any of them ...Just classic in my opinion that visual impact they impart...Even though I do have bags I guess it's simply the psychological influence that childhood memories impart or impress on one's mind which tend to carry over into adulthood.

@ bends -- O Yes they do exist, the 3 quart beasties that is....I happen to have an original (& date stamped ) 3 Quart stainless steel irrigator / can which from memory were originally issued to government owned / operated institutions such as Gretchen96 mentioned,as well as hospitals & surgeries....Oddly enough these were despatched mostly to the maternity wings of said hospitals, so yes, I guess many can more than sympathize with the ladies .... It has been said yet I cannot confirm this that the term "3H Enema's" were the origins of such a term -- Well just to clarify this statement -- That is the term I had overheard both the nursing fraternity & my own mother refer to it as when administration was on the agenda.. Seems to fit as the term 3H could also suggest three quarts of hot & soapy served up via a 3 Quart irrigator---- oooooh ! talk about the gasp factor.

But I can confirm (smile) that whoa what a ride they deliver ...If one wants / desires a good cleanout this baby will make your eyes water.

Neither. I use a 10 litre transparent bucket with litre gradations marked on it. It's used with a siphon, so even easier to clean than an irrigator. Since its capacity is so huge, there is always a challenge there! I can see how much I have taken.The siphon head is metal and slightly taller than the lip of the bucket, so when I hang the bucket, it tilts as it empties, ensuring that almost the very last drop goes into me with a very satisfying slurp!

If i have only filled a couple of litres and am feeling like more, nothing is easier than to shut off the flow , mix up more solution and dump it in the bucket. It's not a hard target to hit with a jug! I use a 3 meter hose with a proper stopcock, so with my retention nozzle or sleeved colon tube, I can move around freely while fillling.

The metal irrigator can is delicious for a change of pace. I still prefer the red Davol Fountain Syringe, but the can is easy to clean and seems to be so hospital professional. Wish I had a metal bed pan to go with it, making a matched set.

I've never had an enema from a can. All of mine have been from bags or bulbs. I can see how a can would be easier to clean.

As a joke to another person, I made an enema can out of a plastic Maxwell House coffee container and hooked it up to a nozzle that I made. I holds just over 2 quarts. I posted a picture of it in the Enema Gallery as an attempt at coffee enema humor. As it was complete, why not try it? It gave a supriseingly good and fast soapy enema. It was cheap and I made the nozzle in my shop out of aluminum. I am now looking for a gallon coffee can..............LOL. I still love the sight of a swollen enema bag so that would be my favorite method of filling up.

My mother and grandmother gave me enemas from bags, I have them now. My Aunt Kathy gave me enemas from a can, I have it now.

Due to age the hoses for all three have been replaced. I use the bags on very rere occasions, dry them thoroughly and store them away from light. the can is uses quite often. I have and use all the nozzles.

My mother initially gave me enemas from 2-bags,I no longer have them, but do have the nozzles. Later when she became an LPN she changed over to a can and colon tubes, I have the can. When I was 12-YO she gave me my own combo set which I still have but do its age I rarely use it.

Generally, I use my homemade 1 gal translucent pitcher, but this morning I was in the mood for a nice bag enema. I did two 2-qt Dr. Bronners & epsom Salts enemas with the bottom of the bag hung just about 12" above my anus to guarantee a nice slow delivery thru my KB-1 nozzle. Following that, I did another 2-qt salt & baking soda rinse using the same set-up. Naturally, a good climax at the end (while I was still taking the rinse) topped it off. All in all, a very satisfactory morning.

I like cans for medical play, and bags for purely enema play. Each seems to convey a different aura.

The bulb is better than the bag. I think because a small bulb requires so many more slow l insertions. Definitive proof that a bulb is better.

It depends. I have found that having another person administer a series of bulb enemas is very erotic. The positions can be more conducive to, say, spanking and rectal temps so there are more possibilities. The bag is also erotic, but for different reasons. For a good solid enema experience, the bag is the best. For fun and naughty games…the bulb!

I'll take the bag EVERY TIME

No air, any cramping comes from the enema itself.

The larger fluid volume makes it more effective. Fewer steps to a clear return.

I can have a lot of fun with either one. Certainly nothing beats the bags for a complete filling and great belly distention. However, the bulb delivers such a great WHOOSH of the solution when given a good squeeze. If I only have a short time of privacy for an enema, then I prefer the bulb. If I have several hours, then I will end up using both.

We always use a 4 quart bag but we often attach a Faultless douche bulb to the end of the hose to use as a nozzle. The bulb has a curved multi-spray pipe with a shield and it makes a great enema nozzle....especially when you squeeze the bulb and hold the shield tightly against your partner's anus.

I much prefer the bag because I can put my nozzle or colon tube in and enjoy doing so. After I am tired of playing with the nozzle or tube, I can just lie there and enjoy watching the flow indicator go around and the 4 quart bag empty and play with my penis. A bulb requires constant refilling and re-inserting, which can lead to a frenzy of activity rather than a relaxing, enjoyable one. Also, with the bulb, I always have the danger of putting in air, which I do not want to do, and which will not happen with a bag, for I am careful to get all of the air out before I start. I would also add that I have a choice of several different nozzles and colon tubes so I can have a variety of insertion experiences.

The bulb can be fun when you are the recipient from a partner, but as a solo practioner, the bag is far more enjoyable and practical for obvious reasons.

Oh, the BAG definitely, because it holds so much more volume, and is less trouble than having to constantly refill the bulb and then reinsert so many times to achieve the same fulfilled feeling of erotic discomfort!

The bag is best. Bulbs are difficult by yourself.

I can enjoy both. I like a bulb with glycerin or concentrated peppermint castile soap warm up, but a bag is the best of the grand finale.

I prefer the bulb to the bag. The bag is better for solo but the bulb is more personal!

I love both , still do enemas just like mom gave , a soapy enema with a bulb, after expelling, a rinse enema with a bag, there are exceptions to that of course.

I like them both... Variety is the spice of life!

I like both. A bulb enema is more for having a partner and the bag enema is better for the majority of my enemas. I can relax more when I am having a enema from a bag, whereas with a bulb I have to keep changing positions. That being said, a bulb enema is a good way to take a quick enema with less to clean up.

A full bag gives the best cleansing but I like to use a 4oz syringe with 50:50 glycerin and water to begin emptying the rectum. It works dependably and rapidly, very rapidly.

I prefer the bag to the bulb. My first enemas were given to me by my Mother with a small red bulb. Mom, always, put in more air than water which blew me up like a balloon. I did not like that. Then, my Mother's family doctor got sick and Mother's new doctor did not believe in enemas at all (like so many of our current doctors do) and convinced Mother to start giving me Castoria. I absolutely deplored that stuff. Then, one afternoon my next door neighbor girl told me about her Mother giving her an adult enema with her douche syringe. That girl told me how much she liked it and that I ought to get my Mom to give me one. Well, I asked....and I asked... and I asked... Finally after enlisting her Mom as an advocate for myself, Mom relented and gave me my first adult bag enema, and I like my friend, found I liked the feeling and I have been hooked ever since.

Definitely bulb

Frankly, I like both...but for entirely different reasons.

First, nothing (and I mean nothing) beats the bag for a major cleansing. Plus, I'm a bag-watcher and enjoy seeing it deflate as the solution flows into me.

However, the bulb is ideal for a quick clean-up prior to anal play. And I agree, the repeated insertions are erotically pleasing...especially with my douche bulb.

So put me down for both...(spoken like a true politician!).

Have fun and play safe!

Without a doubt, a bag man here... that being said, there is one bulb I would like to own; it's made in Italy and holds 1250cc of liquid! That's about 1.5 quarts. These are not sold as novelties, they are marketed by pharmacies and were once used in hospitals for kids. Google "baldioli pera"

I am a bag woman at home, because it is much easier. The bag and hose is already hanging behind the shower curtain so all that is required is to fill the bag, plug the nozzle into me, and simply relax and wait for the transfer of water from the bag into my body. With a bulb I would have to refill and insert multiple times in addition to squeezing the bulb. However I do use the bulb when away from home, because it is easy to carry in my back pack when hiking in the woods, or camping.

I enjoy the bag best, bulb is OK for a "quickie". Like to make them last.

Love the bulb, but to be best I need a playmate. Like the bag too and is easiest by your self
