Indications he/she has taken enough?

When you give one, how do you know when a person is really full and not just moaning or complaining in order to provide drama? One thing, their toes curl up. Any other indications?

I always know because "she tells me". As long as the recipient is not saying to "slow down", or "stop", all is fine. This, of course, requires honesty, as does anything in life. this includes individuals who enjoy the drama, where it may be played out somewhat differently. One physical manifestation is if the right side of her abdomen is "tight"; if it is, then you know that she is at, or near, the end of the current "fill".

When given an enema to someone,I find itis best to heed to the request to stop the flow if he or she tells you to.Don't force the person to take more and cause too much pain.Play it safe and stay friends.Let the good times flow. w/m72yrs/W.MA

Two good suggestions. Thank you. Related to this question but slightly off topic. A colonic therapist once told me that by feeling the firmness of the outflow hose, she could judge the time to begin the release. However, she used a latex hose which was of course sterilized between treatments. I doubt the disposable ones react in that way.

The person getting the enema will know they are filling up. But I've found that if I watch the hose, it is a clear hose, once it stops flowing then we are done.

There is a tendency to not always be able to take a certain quantity all the time. Generally if I express the fact that I am full, that is exactly what I mean. Anyone else feel the same?

The amount of matter in the colon will deside how much water a person can take. Unitl it is cleaned out there isn't room for more.

One indication that the recipient is FULL would be when a belly button that is usually an "in-nie", is NOW an "outtie"

LOLOLOL

Well, begging to stop at around 4 quarts is usually my indication that she has taken enough water into here belly....

You must know your partner, if your relationship is honest is easy to know the recipient is full.

Acquaman

Excessive leakage, light headedness, profuse sweating, racing pulse!

any of these symptoms, it's time to back off.

Any fainting, or passing out, it's time to call 911!

When they start cursing at you, or threatening to expel all over the room. It might be time to stop.

How much water does it take to have a "good enema". My mother put the amount of soapy water in the bag that she wanted me to have and if I didn't take it all I got another. While I was expelling the water that I had taken she would be refilling the bag with more soapy water and telling me that I had to take it all to have a "good enema". I knew that I needed to be cleaned out and was going to have to take whatever amount of water it took to get the job done. I remember one time being so constipated that I had to take six full two quart bags of soapy water and two or three plain water rinses. It took all that afternoon but I did feel better afterward.

Mom knew from experience how much we kids could safely take and hold so the soapy water could do its job. Since she always used an enema can on us, we could not tell how much more we needed to take. "just a litlle."

I try to wait for them to offer the SAFE word , so that way you know when is when and preserve trust .

Usually when my girlfriend starts leaking a few drops then I know she has had enough :-)

When soap bubbles are at the back of the throat he he he!

Miss Stress, Your the third or fourth person to indicate that a good enema should be given till the patient's colon is full, and the flow stops. I believe that was the procedure the Nurses used for hospital enemas in the 50s and 60s. I understand some use enemas for pleasure,but clinical enemas aren't supposed to be fun...it seems the more uncomfortable the enema is, the better it works,and the better I feel afterwards....

Several people have said you know when the enema is enough when the flow stops - but won't this point depend on how high the bag is hung, and the consequent pressure of the water flow? I have my water container only 3 feet above me, and I have taken 6 quarts this way, but the pressure in me felt huge.

I prefer 2 liters from bottle put at 80cm from bottom

Crying & whining despite application of the paddle and threats of getting a second enema is a good indication

A couple of ways. Of course, if the water does stop going in, then you ARE done. And if the "patient" feels pain at the ileo-cecal valve (by the appendix), the water usually will go no higher, although some old medical texts do indicate that it can be forced higher. I usually gauge by the "normal" colon's capacity--2 qts for almost all my patients, but that's enema #2. If she's really full, then 1 qt to start, then two...and finally (3-5 total), as much as will go in...your patient will tell you, as they say, but sometimes if it's a "drama scene," you'll get "told" long before she's full...

My wife says that my toes curl when I am at capacity.

When she tells me to stop

i know my toes curl up

TOES ! My nurse Audrey at massage school did 60 hours of CT training with us. We had to do 600 hours of anatomy and massage to take the state board. During CT she emphasied patient comfort and she repeatadly said "watch the toes, when they wiggle or curl stop the flow".

I'd have to say every fill is different. My indicator is a sharp pain that I get in the left side of my chest. I don't know what's going on and it doesn't happen every time. I've tried salt, no salt, and various other concoctions. Also, I have a partner that can hear it in my voice when it's time to stop.

When water starts coming out of my nose 😃

Moaning, kicking feet and then leaking...

When I say that i've had enough, that means that I've had enough. Anyone that doesn't take that to heart can clean up afterward.

??? Well said LadyDoc!
