JBL Cascade, the Ultimate Enema Bag

The original Tyrell's Hygenic Institute JBL Cascade was in my opinion the ultimate enema device.

I have a congenital colon problem that required that I use enemas to help keep my bowels clean. When I was about 12 or 13 the doctor told my mother that I needed more than a bulb syringe and recommended that she get me a JBL Cascade enema bag so that I could do enemas by myself and fill my bowel more fully. So after a couple times of supervision I started to take enemas solo. I used the bag every 2 to 3 days and of course became addicted to the wonderful feeling that we all get from filling up with solution, emptying out and the glow afterward.

I always started out with a soapy water solution,filling up and emptying out a couple times then I would fill the bag with warm clear water or some times a salt/soda solution. This time I would try to take in as much water as I could hold.

Later on when I was in my 20's and before I got married I used to do the soap clean out and then use the special powder that Tyrell made to help cleanse the colon. It had special oil which was stimulating. I would sit on the bag and just barely let the water flow in. I could sit that way for 1/2 hour our longer enjoying the warm water filled pillow and the nozzle pressed against my anus as I would slowly fill up. Not infrequently I would empty the bag as far as it would let the water flow which was close to 4 quarts or so.

The old original bag was so much more comfortable than the one being made today. The bag was made from a heavy rubber impregnated canvas and the nozzle base was a Small dome shape which fitted up tight against the anus and help hold the water, the nozzle was about 3 inches long and only about 3/8's inches in diameter. It was perforated with small holes the entire length so that as the water flowed in it rose inside your rectum and colon as a steady rising column of fluid and helped making retention easier.

Over the years I wore out at least 3 bags.

Since I have gotten much older I had trouble doing enemas so have to do colonics now which I to enjoy, but really miss my long sessions when I would sit on my bag while reading.

By the way, I told my wife of my enema needs before we got married. She will do solo enemas but has never joined me when I took them myself.

Of course we both grew up in the 30's so she also grew up in the enema era.

Corky again, I forgot to add that the rectal dome and nozzle were part of a valve assembly. To use the emema bag, you stooped over the bag as it lay on a chair. you reached between your legs and grasped the Valve handle and slowly lowered you self onto the nozzle and bag guiding the rectal nozzle into your rectum. I usually spread the checks of my butt to really seal my anus against the dome.

I hope you enjoyed reading this.

Dear Corky

I agree about the JBL bags but think our modern ones are as good as the vintage ones if you get the valve tpe nozzle which also has multiple holes along its side. Beth Tyler will fix you up with one which simply screws in place of the original nozzle

Good luch and may the good times flow

I have both old and new / and had a custom made nozzle made for it.

LuvawBill,

Where did you get a custom nozzle for the JBL bag? (which I bought).

I recall spending a lot of time perched on an original JBL Cascade during my youth. If I was really bound up or just being bratty and uncooperative, the JBL was filled and placed on a highchair...the valve was left sticking out in back so I couldn't shut off the flow but my nanny could adjust it at will. The chair was high enough so that my feet didn't touch the ground so I could't "cheat" and stop the flow by lifting my bum off the bag and a safety belt made sure that I wasn't going anywhere. I generally got the treatment in the kitchen on laundry day; as nanny was ironing I was seated on the JBL getting my bowels slowly filled. The flow was always set at just a trickle and the water was very warm; it was actually a relaxing and comfortable experience. I just hated having visiting moms watch me get a 1/2 hour long enema right in front of them; they knew exactly what was going to happen after I was full. The pottychair was always right there on the floor, ready for action. We recently bought an original JBL and it came with the original adult nozzle plus the rarely seen child's nozzle..that brought back memories.

I like my JBL to use it just for rinses

It certainly is the easiest and most convenient to use. It also gives a whole new connotation to the expression. "Sit on it!" -- DD

Just want to stress the need to really fill the bag up as much as posible. You will get a great fill if you do and by the way, if you can have a nozzle with a tap and keep giving yourself a rest from the constant filling, you will take a lot more. The bag must hold at least a gallon so sit tight and hold on for the ride of your life!
