First or last?

Is it better to introduce additives (salt, oil, soap, etc.) into the bag before or after filling with water? I have found that before is good for mixing the solution, but makes quite a froth if soap is used.

Fill the bag with water first, then add and stir your ingredients.

You might also chose to mix the solution in a pot or bowl and then fill your bag.

Sometimes an additive will be more concentrated at the beginning of an enema(because it didn't mix with the water well, no matter how much you shake). Don't want to do any damage with too concentrated of solution. And yes, soap can get quite frothy.

I usually fill the bag about half way with water and then add any soap or other additive. Then I add the rest of the water. It mixes quite well this way.

I do as Susie suggests and mix the solution in a separate container; then pour it into the bag. Works really well.

It depends on the additives that I use whether I mix in bowl first or fill half way and put additive and fill the rest of the way but most of the time it's fill half way and add then fill the rest

When using the enema bag, I always mix the ingredients in a 2 qt pitcher first, then pour in the bag. That way, they're fully mixed in the bag. When using my one gallon enema cannister, all I have to do is mix the ingredients in the cannister, and I'm ready to go. Because my cannister is essentially clear, I can watch the fluid level drop slowly as the enema solution is going in me, which I find adds to the visual stimulation. The clear cannister is terrific for those of us who self-administer enemas because not only can you see the rate at which you're taking the enema, but also you can readily see how much you've taken without having to get up and look inside the cannister.

Yes I like a glass measured container. I used to have a beauty that would either stand or hang andheld about 4 pints I seem to remember. I dont know what happened to it though. I occasionally see pictures of such a container but dont know where they are sold now. Great pity
