Liquid Soaps

If you are using commercial liquid soaps, be careful to read the list of ingredients before adding them to an enema, Some contain perfumes, sulfates, detergents, and even formaldehyde. If you don't recognize an ingredient, better grab a bar of Ivory instead. The same goes for lubricants. Petroleum jelly is inert & safe.

Good advice! if you would not swallow it, your butt probably does not want it either.

I am prepared to take that slight risk but feel vaselines most dangerous threat is to you rubber goods

I would stick with Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soaps or a bar of either castile or Ivory soap. Other soaps can be dangerous.

Is Palmolive dish soap safe to use? If so what is the maximum to use in 2qts water?

Use castile soap; the additives in soaps can irritate the colon. Many people use them but its a mad idea from a medical perspective.

I have to agree that Ivory soap or Castile soaps are the only way to go. And if you use Castile soap such as Dr Bronner's, you only need to use a little bit because it is very concentrated.

How about baby shampoo? no more tears? is it gentle enough for inside backside?

You can turn bar Ivory soap into a liquid easily - toss a bar in the blender, and then use some hot water. Too much Ivory in the mix really irritates on the way out. ???

Safe bet is Dr bonners.

I would add it in the mix and use surgilube....

Is the concentration of the commercial soap packets the same as the bottled liquids found in the store?

I use J&j baby shampoo . Nice mild cramps . 2 tablespoons to 3 qts warm water

I've used Dr. Bronner's unscented for years, but If you can find Conti Castile bar soap with olive oil, try it. If you use a fountain syringe, it's fun to slosh the soap around in the warm water like I remember my mom doing with Ivory in the old days. One of those low-tech nostalgic moments.

I do not like Ivory. It seems harsh to me. For a while I used Dr. Bronners which works well, but then a few years back I read here on Zity that some of you use J&J baby shampoo. I tried it and is my new favorite. I don't use much but I get a good clean out without strong cramps.

I prefer Dr. Bronner's Peppermint. It is gentle but thorough, and the apres enema fragrance makes expulsion more pleasurable.

I'm just curious since I need to carefully measure my enema ingredients including Castile soap to accommodate my sensitive rectum. If I want soap, I'll measure in 1-1.5 and rarely up to 2 tsp/quart of Dr. Bronner's or similar liquid Castile soap. The last recipe I read for Susie's Very Rough Ride Enema contained 2 ounces = 4 TBSP of soap per quart plus her other diabolical ingredients. That amount of Castile soap alone in an enema would send me running for the commode very quickly as I've never done more than 2 tsp/quart. Other than what you put into Susie's RR or VRR Enemas, what's the maximum amount or concentration of Bronner's or other Castile soap you put into your enemas? Are you doing it mostly for actual cleaning or for recreation/sexual arousal? What does it feel like to you compared to just plain tap water or saline? Thanks,

I use castle soap @ 3 cc per quart, works really well for me and don't feel irritation after.

The only liquid soap I've used is J&J, 1 to 2 teaspoon per quart. Great result without cramping. For Ivory, I use a grater to fill a plastic container until needed. Then 1 teaspoon per quart of very warm water. Easy and accurate each time. A tablespoon results in a lot of cramps. Repeatability is one key to an enjoyable enema.

I always either use Dr Bonnars castile soap weather it be peppermint, lavender or plain. I also use the old stand by Ivory although I do not think it is the same Ivory as I got as a kid. I remember the scent was much stronger. If you are going to take a series of enemas, always add a pinch of salt to balance the electrolytes in your system. Just hearing the word ENEMA starts me off to another world. Cant wait for the next enema.

If you want the enema to burn a bit to discipline the sub, original Neutrogena soap works quite well!

I have used liquid soap not as an ingredient to the enema but as lube for the nozzle. Used it for convenience. If I had soap to the enema it would be Dr Bronner’s Peppermint
