Baby shampoo as enema soap

If you like J&J Baby Shampoo, you may also like J&J Baby hair and body wash. I have found it works great.

Lots of suds, everything comes out great and it feels great. Has plenty of lubrication so that when you insert the nozzle, there is no damage at all to your anal area.

I just squirt it into my 4 quart bag, I don't bother to measure, I give it a couple of squirts and it works.Once I fill myself up with the first filling, I just keep refilling my bag till all the soap in it is gone. I get about 4 or 5 fillings before all the soap is gone. Then I just flush myself out a number of times.

I really like it a lot. Is it better than other soaps, I don't know for sure. I have tried them all. To me the Baby hair and body wash is very nice.

J&J baby shampoo has become my gold standard anymore- so mild, but very effective and as others have said, it does help keep the odors in-check. A capful/quart seems to give an excellent cleanse without cramping issues. This gives a very erotic, soothing enema session for those so inclined like me.

+1 for baby shampoo - It's what my momma mixed in the bulb when i was kid. Didn't realize at the time that my momma was a genius 😃

ImDoug--There's more to mothers than meets the "Eye".

I'm with Doc Lavage-- no cramping? Why use it then! lol

Soaps are good even without cramping because they are wetting agents and actually make water flow more freely and smoothly through the cracks and crevices between lumps of feces in the colon because it makes water wetter. (decreases the contact angle with surfaces it contacts)

I have been a tap water guy for my entire enema life. But I really want to try an baby shampoo enema. I have stayed away from soap enemas because I always thought they would tend to cause cramping and discomfort- I am definitely not into cramps and discomfort. But if all this can be avoided and I get a nice complete expulsion then I am now really curious to give it a try. I have chatted with other zity members who really endorse the baby shampoo enema so I think the next time I am at the store, I will be picking up some baby shampoo.

Baby shampoo is an extremely mild soap. It is, in my opinion, the mildest soap you can use in an enema. So, maybe for someone who wants to try a soapy enema, it would be a good choice. However, if you want a more intense enema with more distressing urges and some cramps, you need a little stronger soap. The next strongest soap is Ivory, the old standby. Somewhat stronger still is Dr. Bronners. I'd suggest 0.5 oz per quart. I think the stronger soaps give a more thorough cleanout.

I bought this J&J shampoo;

Did a 2 quart enema with 2 Tablespoons of the shampoo along with 2 tablespoons of Baking Soda and I could not believe how mild and gentle it was. No more cramps. lol

Yes I love baby wash soap , castile , and IVORY soap for all my enemas . I don't mind a little cramping myself .

Just did a 6 qt with baby shampoo and soda and everything went in an out just fine

J & J Baby Shampoo is a nice way to go, and I find myself alternating between unscented Dr Bronners Castile soap and the latter. Kind of depends on my mood, and if I want a bit more "kick" that the castile soap offers.

Baby shampoo is a great for an enema. They used to advertise it as "no tears shampoo" and in my experience since it doesn't cramp I suppose that message is still true.

I recently started using baby shampoo in my 3qt enemas and am already a huge fan. Very effective but mild at the same time. Love it.

I have never tried soap. Maybe this will be my first thing to experiment with.

@OscarFilde as with everything, moderation is the key. Start with just a small amount, say a tablespoon per 2 quarts and see how it goes. Because everyone is different and every enema is different (temperature, flow rate, tolerance, etc) it's impossible to predict what you should expect, but you shouldn't be in for a traumatic time.

Adjust future enemas by adding more or using less as you see fit and know that it may simply turn out to just not be for you.

Go at it with no expectations and go with the flow. Pun intended.

Enjoy.

I am holding my first soapy enema now. I made it with just a little baby shampoo, inspired by this thread. So far, I love it. It is increasing the intensity nicely without requiring too much volume. I'm going to try another, larger one next. I'm trying to hold this one for ten minutes, which will also be a new thing for me. Hopefully it will also be a nice prep for the next few.

Update: Upon expulsion, I am finding more intense cramping. I believe a rinse is in order, yes? Ow.

Tried my first Baby shampoo yesterday and just finish a second one just now, No cramping at all just a lot for grumbling of my colon. I have used Dr Bonner soap for years and this is a nice change. I have had two good releases and now have two tampons in and a diaper on. Will take a another one latter this afternoon.

I grew up on Ivory Soap, then, when I was in my 20's and found out about Castile enema soap I started using it. But sometimes I couldn't find it, that's when I noticed baby shampoo looked about the same in the bottle and gave it a try. Mild but good, this would have been about 1970. By the mid 70's my then wife went from plain water, to baby shampoo to Ivory. She really like what she called "super soaper" enemas. After a while she went back to baby shampoo, but would use very large amounts, probably would have taken it straight! Then we found some generic shampoo in gallon jugs, and until we spilt that's what she loved, very soapy enemas with the cheap, generic stuff. I had tried it but it really burned too much for me. Now, in my 70's I'm back to plain water.

Although we never tried it, I expect she would have enjoyed glycerin as well, she liked crampy explosive expulsions.

Update: Upon expulsion, I am finding more intense cramping. I believe a rinse is in order, yes? Ow.

You can certainly give a rinse a try, either plain water or salt/soda and at a nice warm temperature. I am inclined to believe, though with very little data backing it up, that the benefit is not so much rinsing out the residual soap (there probably isn't much) as it is the warm water gently stretching out the colon and helping it to relax more rapidly. However it works I do find that a rinse will often leave me feeling better, as well as getting a little bit more out. Note that the difference in "cleansing" is completely meaningless unless someone is going to be working in your colon for some reason, but for me a small one to get out the larger/harder stuff in the rectum and some of the sigmoid, midsize soapy to finish out the sigmoid and get into the descending/transverse, then a rinse seems to work and has become "customary" for me, though I probably should see how well just the first small enema works on its own.

I grew up with Dove in the house and then for many years I used Ivory. Lately I have been using Dc Bronners pepermint. I think the next time I am in Walgreens I will look for some J&J baby shampoo and give it a try. Sounds like it would be very pleasent.

Just an update to my previous post.Picked up a bottle of the J&J baby shampoo yesterday. Gave it a try as soon as i got home. Mixed up 2tsp. of soap with 2qts of 102f water. I have found it to be more gentle than Dr. Bronner's peppermint. Was able to hold it for 10 min. Very good complete clean out not at all harsh or irritating. I will do another round this afternoon.

I was a little rushed as I had to take care of a couple of errands at the last minute which ate into my "me" time, but this morning I did manage another wonderful baby shampoo 3qt bag full. Rinsed with another 3qts plain water administered in 2qts and then the last 1qt.

I've gradually been increasing the amount of shampoo I use to the current point where I use about a tablespoon per quart. Loving this stuff.

Like I've said before, baby shampoo is very mild and gives a very soothing, cleansing enema. I use about 2 Tblsps to 2 qts. But everyone is different as far as how much soap to use. I think it is much milder than Ivory too. Try it, you'll like it. 😃

I love to use it in the enema and if my sub is bad ill use it on the nozzle i love it !

Haven't ever tried Baby Shampoo, I always enjoy Dawn Dish Liquid. A squirt of that in two quart bag, put the hose on and shake it real good. After a good cleansing I enjoy using a half bottle of baby oil per 2quart bag. It softens up your insides for deeper play

@cramps I wouldn't use dish soaps because they have chemicals in them for cutting grease and more. Play safe and use J&J Baby shampoo, that's my go to these days. 😃

Just tried the J&J baby shampoo-----it worked great and held my full 2 quarts for 5 minutes-----that's a long time and full amount for me----my usual limit is 1500cc with Ivory for no longer than 1 minute. Maybe I am NOT and enema wussie anymore---LOL

J&j baby shampoo is really nice. first a plain water enema then a warm j&j enema . then a nice plain water rinse is great. ps a great way to start the day.

Better safe than sorry: I would use plain castile soap only.

In shampoos there are color dyes and perfumes, although baby shampoo is very delicate: I fear the potential effects on the intestinal wall of these chemicals that have been tested and certified for skin contact only.

If something goes wrong and you have to go to the emergency room, what you will tell to the doctors?
