Pressure

Can there be to much pressure from a tap to use?

At the risk of sounding flippant, put your finger over a faucet and see if you can stop the water from flowing or put the tube from the faucet in your mouth and see if you can stop the water from flowing. Then you can tell us if there can be too much pressure.

Think about it. Seriously. The water pressure in the faucet can run a a sprinkler to water your lawn or to a fire hydrant in the street. Don't you think that you would have to run the water slowly and carefully?

I am not saying you can't take an enema from the faucet, because that's what the "shower shots" are for. I have them and like them very much, but you have to use common sense and listen to your body sensations when that little voice in your head says you have had enough. You need to know when to pull out the tube or turn off the faucet. Pulling out the tube is easier and faster, and if your in the shower while you're using the shower shot, you might as well leave the water running and just pull out the tube.

Household water pressure is from 40 to 60 psi. The colon irrigation equipment runs at about 8 psi, so the tap water is coming at about 5-7 times more pressure than what they use.

You can get regulators that will drop the pressure to any psi you want. They run about $60 on up. Don't think that turning the flow down is adjusting the rate. The pressure will be the same.

Most colonic irrigation equipment runs much less than 8psi. The closed system ones are around 2-3 psi, where 3 is about the max. The Libbe runs less than 2 psi because it is gravity fed and the height of the top of the tank is only about four feet above the table.

Connecting directly to the tap can be dangerous. If you're going to do it I would not use any sort of retention or inflatable nozzle. That way if something should go wrong the water should have a place to escape.

Yes, water pressure is way too high, but remember, YOU control how much goes in. I use the shower enema all the time, love deep colonic enemas and do them at least twice a week. I don't use a bulb or balloon to stop water coming out, I just sit and contract my anal ring. I can feel it fill my gut way up, sometimes takes several tries because the water won't make a corner easy, but it always does given many tries perhaps, and I can take a LOT of water. If the pressure builds, I just relax and it pours out. I seriously doubt that I could possibly hold back much pressure, let alone 5-8 lbs/sq/in, no way, so there really is little risk of getting too much pressure from using the shower/sink, because you can't hold it in. Again, I don't use a balloon, I sit on my bench seat and hole it in with my anal muscle. I love doing them, just wish I could tell my wife, and I'd love to share them with someone but that will never happen.

In my opinion, faucet enemas should only be taken by people who are well experienced with enemas and know how to "read" their bodies and, should only be self administered. I sometimes use them as rinses after a number of soapy water enemas. Just tonight I gave myself a colonic by tying in the nozzle with a string and sitting on the toilet. Sitting on the toilet allows you to expel whenever you need to without the pressure becoming to great. I just keep filling and expelling. As my colon empties and relaxes I'm able to get the water further and further in until the whole colon is filled. I'm able to thoroughly clean the entire colon this way and feel simply great afterwards. But, as others have already said, be careful and listen to your body, and don't allow the pressure to become uncomfortable.

Yes, tap and put to much presure

I don't mean to encourage others, but I like to use the tap. I rarely use a bag and hold it in. I have connected two shower massage hoses together. Sometimes I use a nozzle that I got from a sex shop made for a kit I think they called "Portable Bidet". Anyway, I sit on the toilet with the hose run under the seat. My toilet is right beside the tub so the faucet is at arms reach, with a little leaning. I turn the water on with just enough pressure to keep the diverter engaged. It's a push button. I wish it was a knob. After inserting the hose, I can turn it down some. If the pressure it to high and I fill to fast, it is uncomfortable. I don't try to hold it. I just sit there and masturbate. Sometimes my anus clinches in responce to the masturbation and doesn't let the water out, but for the most part, I just let it out as it goes in. It's my favorite way to have and enema and wondered if anyone else does this.

A perforated bowel can be deadly, one must know their fullness threshold, and realize that you can't always take the "same amount".
