High Enemas

Anyone had success taking a high enema with a shower shot standing up?

I enjoy the shower shot during EVERY shower I take when I’m home (travel a lot). I’ve found a gentle flow rate for the sprayer hose with the shower shot on .. typically I’d say it’s a basic cleaning. This is a new set up .. I’ve done 4-5qt enemas laying down and being on the side. I don’t have the room in my shower to lay down with the shower shot .

So I’m curious anyone taken a high enema while standing? I’m going to measure the flow rate and get a time needed to obtain 4-5qt. Thanks

This discussion and clarification of the meaning of a high enema, which is what I believed all along, then brings up another pet peeve I have about terminology. The title 3H enema appears at least partially redundant, since a "high" enema appears to be essentially synonymous with "a hell of a lot" (of water). So a 3H enema just means a lot of hot (not too hot, obviously) water. I think the terminology just stuck around for this long until now because it's fun to say it.

I was under the impression that the HIGH in a 3H enema (HIGH, HOT, HELL of a LOT) referred to the height of the bag and the resulting rate/pressure of water flow. Whereas a High enema goes throughout the colon as Susie said. A 3H enema is meant to be uncomfortable for patients who give nurses a hard time. Given that it consists of a large volume - it may also result in a High enema - but the High in 3H was meant for discomfort!

A "HIGH" enema (high up in the colon), wouldn't necessarily have to have the bag hung high - nor is it's purpose to be uncomfortable or "punishment" too the patient. You medical folks can better explain how to get the water high up in the colon. - (perhaps a colon tube - large volume given slow in multiple positions to get the water moving around....I'm just guessing on this.)

That too!!

A "HIGH" enema is high because of where the water goes in the colon.

It has NOTHING to do with the equipment used.

The water ALWAYS goes higher than the tubes inside the colon.

To answer your first question: yes. You need to take it easy, though, because the shower shot can fill very, very quickly with significantly higher water pressure than you can typically achieve with a bag held relatively high. The fact that this type or related type of nozzle, standing up, can allow for the water to flow all the way up to and across the transverse colon and flow into the ascending colon is the underpinning description of a "high enema." It does not mean that the full length of the colon has to be "inflated" to its maximum holding capacity (which is why you have to be careful with these shower based products. You can quickly "over-inflate" the colon with incompressible water causing rupture of the colon and its contents into the abdominal space). But if you take on about 3 liters of liquid you are in the range of a high enema because liquid is likely to be reaching the length of the the large intestine.

My largest enemas via bag or via a shower attachment have been taken while standing. I can take 4 -4.5 liters while laying down. But I've taken my largest enemas of 5 - 6 liters while standing.

Enema Runner thanks .. that answers everything ! I’m very careful with pressure and tempature . I’ll just let it run and get a calculation for time to equal 1qt and go from there.

A session for me consists of two or three enemas with graduating volumes. Maybe a quart and a half for the first, 2 1/2 second, and a very large third (sometimes refilling the bag). I figure that’s a “high enema”. I always use baking soda and salt.

It's not redundant, if my my serves me correctly from back when I helped my wife study in nursing school: "High" in this context actually refers to the height of the bag, and that expedites getting in the high enema, aka, the "hell of a lot" that goes high up into the colon.

I almost always strive for a "high" enema unless it's just a very quick one for lower cleanout, because mine are all for enjoyment and orgasm stimulation and I enjoy large volumes with long retentions. High means far along in the colon, which for me always means aiming to feel and hear water sloshing around in my cecum or at least down low way over on my right abdomen. I usually prefer to take mine as a sub, with either my real Domme ex-GF or a fantasy Domme I run in my head during the enemas. The feel and sound of water sloshing in my cecum is a thrill and nice submissive bonus in addition to almost guaranteeing I've achieved a large volume colon intake. As I've never had any luck getting in a colon tube any farther than about into my sigmoid, my large (3-4.5 quarts) enemas are always as qwhap notes above, with multiple positions and a good deal of belly massage to move the water distally. I love feeling the inflow with the water gradually invading farther and farther and finally reaching my cecum.

Even though I've always liked as much volume as possible, for years I took only up to 2-2.5 quarts and enjoyed it. However, after reading Zity for a few months, I slowly increased my volume to where it is now, with 4 quarts being my usual. I never recall having a hospital enema, but if a nurse ever told me she was giving me a 3H, I'm sure I'd enjoy it but I doubt it would fill me anywhere nearly as full as I usually give myself. Maybe if I'm ever in hospital again, I'll ask for one and see what happens.

As a child I guess I could have all my mom's enemas as high ones because they took evacuations a couple of minutes apart, even thouth the nozzle was only the classic black one. My highest insertion of a tube, other than for a colonoscopy , occurred when a colon hydrotherapist inserted a tube 10 inches. It felt surprisingly comfortable.

Doctors told me when I was having GI issues in my 20s that I have a slight narrowing between the transverse and ascending portions of my colon. If I'm tied up inside, that's where the "hang-up" can be. That's why a nurse recommended that I use a rectal tube when taking a "high enema" – just so I'm sensible and careful during insertion, letting the solution help lubricate the way.

That is not correct.

"High" refers to how far up the colon the solution goes.

NOT the height of the bag and NOT the length of the nozzle or tube.

"High" refers to how far up the colon the solution goes..

Sorry! I suppose that ericmacson is correct in asserting

I trust Switchable's knowledge over my own distant memory.

@Alachua

You were actually right in your post!

I would say that I take an extremely high enema when I take 4 quarts and can hardly make it from the bed to the turlet after using a douche nozzle.

Actually, that's one big reason I moved up to routinely taking 4 quarts and holding it a long time, usually 1/2-1 hours, sometimes falling asleep while holding it. One, it easily flows all around my belly perimeter to reach the right lower quadrant/cecum. Two, it feels gloriously full and thus extremely submissive. Three, the large obvious belly distention is also very submissive and erotic. Fourth, like OP states, that much volume with its ~8 lbs of weight makes it challenging to even roll over to verious positions, and especially to get up from the floor to either admire my distention or waddle to the commode. All of those reasons or features of a large "high" enema make it extremely embarrassing, submissive and arousing.

One single time I took 5 quarts as an experiment and really enjoyed it for the same reasons, but 4 works so well I've stuck to 4 since then. Since I'm a switch and love the submission of an enema, high enemas and I are meant for each other.

@Curious71: I've taken high enemas with my shower attachment nozzle very often, with good results. It's about 10" long and flexible, and I typically insert its full length while standing. With very warm water set to a slow flow, I can fill up until my colon is tight and fully distended. I've taken a full gallon on several occasions once cleaned out, so I'd estimate I'm likely managing about 4 quarts at most during my high enemas with the shower nozzle.

Even though I was well acquainted with enemas since childhood, I had not heard the term "high enema" until I started going out with a co-worker that enjoyed a good enema session as much as I did. She always called full-bag enemas "high enemas" and I called them "good enemas" because that's what mom always called them. Either way, it meant getting the water up high into the colon for a thorough cleansing.

I didn't know that there was a thing called a high enema until I came to Zity.biz. I realized that I had been giving myself high enemas all of my life as a preference in what felt good in filling, holding, and releasing. I knew that the enema would fill me across my abdomen and that I'd have to massage the liquid the other direction so that I could expel the contents.

When I first started giving myself enemas (and at the time I didn't know that there was a word to describe the incredible feeling of inserting the tube and filling my ass with warm water, holding, and then releasing the warm water out of me), I had no sense of volume or that it was "high" (in quantity or location). All I knew was how good it felt and how much I liked masturbating and cumming while doing all of it.

I kept count of the number of cups that I was able to take. Each cup was a 16-ounce anodized aluminum cup and it took four of these cups to fill the bag. So, it was an accomplishment to take eight of these cups (two full bags). My practical limit was 10 cups (160 fluid ounces or 5-quarts). But I also knew that I was very full and that I had to work to empty out my colon after filling it (multiple times). I had no context for what that limit actually represented. Even as an adult, it's been all about the erotic nature and feeling of being filled.

In this forum at least the term has been used to mean an enema that was administer through a somewhat long colon tube.

There ARE different interpretations of the term

My take is that a high enema refers to the distance into the colon the enema goes. When I use a colon tube I think of that as a high enema because the tube is 30 inches or so into the colon which gives the water a head start at least. After giving an enema or two with a nozzle and then using the tube I am amazed at how much more I can get out so there must be something to getting the water in higher.

As a teenager interested in enemas for fun, I read numerous home health books and even a nursing manual in the library. I learned then that a high enema was usually considered at least two quarts so it went all the way to the end of the colon. It surprised me because up to that time most of my enemas were probably a quart or so. It took me several tries before I was able to take a full two quarts or more. I learned that when you think you are full and the cramps hit you just close the clamp and tough it out until they subside in a couple of minutes. Then the rest goes in quite easily.

I do not always give myself a "high" enema. Only when I feel the need to clean out all the way up. I like coffee and for that 1 quart held 15-30 minutes is perfect. I think coffee is only effective in the lower part of the colon anyway, so more than a quart is just wasting good coffee, plus making it harder to hold and enjoy.

From the many texts I have read, a "high enema" definitely refers to getting the enema solution as high into the bowel as possible. This can be accomplished by various means and methods. Volume certainly aids in this. Inserting the nozzle or colon/rectal tube higher into the bowel also aids in delivering the solution higher up. Positioning is also a means of accomplishing this desired task. A "rotating enema" is a good example.

In some texts, a smaller volume may be injected as a "high enema" by using the colon/rectal tube to get the solution well into the bowel. This seemed rather common when using irritating solutions such as milk and molasses or even soapsuds.

Almost all of my enemas with the bag are "high enemas" and empty my bowel as completely as possible. Only subsequent enemas get me to the point of being "clear" as referenced for a bowel prep. Bulb enemas or small volume bag enemas are often referenced as "low enemas" to clear the rectal vault or "lower bowel" only. These are very effective for a quickie to initiate a BM without disrupting the entire digestive tract.

The solution ALWAYS goes higher up than the tube and larger volumes aid in getting the solution higher..

Inserting the tube deeper does not make the solution go higher because the solution will get past blockages a tube would never get past.

Consider this: If your colon is packed up with shit, how are you going to get the tube through it to get higher up???? Answer: YOU DON'T. The nozzle or tube is where it is and the solution goes higher than the tube to flush the shit out.

Even in situations where enteroclysis is being performed, the lower colon is ALWAYS cleaned out first.

A HIGH enema tells how far the solution goes up the colon and is mostly determined by the volume of the enema. It has nothing to do with the bag, peristaltic pumps, the colonic irrigating machine or the tube used to deliver the solution.

In some texts, a smaller volume may be injected as a "high enema" by using the colon/rectal tube to get the solution well into the bowel. This seemed rather common when using irritating solutions such as milk and molasses or even soapsuds.

If you are really backed up, you aren't going to be able to get a tube very far inside to inject a small volume enema in the first place.

And all this time I thought high enema meant taking it upstairs rather than downstairs.
