What type of enema bag should I get?

As i said in my introduction, i'm new to this, but i've read enough to know that there are bags out there better than the drugstore variety. I also don't want to spend a whole lot of money (yet?), so could i get some feedback on what i found here at optimal health network? Good for a semi-beginner? Is it cheap quality?

I need a new bag anybody got sugestions

4 Qt. silicone from Klystra or Beth Tyler; expensive, but well worth the money. Virtually indestructable, won't dry out and crack like latex.

It all depends if you want an open top type bag or a dual purpose hot water bottle type which can be very useful at times!

Both types of bags can be found on various enema websites.....

I'll second Klystra for great choices and service.

I got the 3 qt red rubber Paris set. It's much less expensive than silicone, and does the job well. I don't find that I want to watch the water level in the bag anyhow...

If you want it larger, there's the 5 qt Olympic.

One that is durable, gives complete enemas, for me four quarts, and

is inexpensive. The one in my avatar, of which I have made several,

costs about two dollars for tubing and the throw away jug is from the

trash. This Jugbag meets all of the above criteria. Why not make one

and save a hundred bucks!

I like my 4qt homemade plastic water pitcher. It's more convenient than a bag because it can sit on any flat surface, and because it's somewhat translucent, I can enjoying watching the water level slowly go down as I fill up.....which is impossible with the opaque rubber bags.

I agree with the previous post about the 4 quart water pitcher. I made the exact same thing. It works like a dream. Plumbling supply and buy a barss 1/4" barb dirll a hole at the bottom of the container keeping it very tight. When you insert the threaded portion put silicone around the outside and let it stand overnight to dry and your ready to go. Next pick-up some clear tubing and start the fun. The basic total cost is about $8.00. The rest of the parts most people already have from an old enema bag.

Enjoy your ENEMA this is also easy to keep clean.

I have to agree with those who mentioned the Klystra silicone 4 quart bag.

It's very well made and will last a lifetime with a little care.

With regards to Popper42's comment, I simply cut the hose-nipple off of an extra nozzle I had, and glued it in place (from the inside out) with plastic specific Loc-Tite glue in the lower edge of the container, and smeared a little silicone around it on the inside and outside of the container. I continue to use the existing hose that came with the original red rubber bag, so my only investment in this set-up was the pitcher from Kroger, and the glue from the hardware store. I love it, and use it almost exclusively. Now I just wish I could interest my wife in participating. No such luck. Oh well.

Looks like the guys are a little more D.I.Y. when it comes to equipment. I have to give top honors to the Clear Klystra 4 qt. model. I WANT to see it empty and it looks just like the old time bags. I don't care for the nozzles that it comes with, but looking around the web you can find some very nice ones. I use the EZM inflatables from Optimal health. Then there is E-bay for the real old time bags, but sometimes the bids get ridiculous and yes , I've gotten carried away myself on a few of them. "Yeah, that's exactly the open top my Mom had and I HAVE to have it." Now I have about 7-8 original old time bags, a JBL, a Compacto. Now if I could just get my hands on a BFG Sojourn, or a Davol Travelfold, I'd be a happy camper- for awhile.

I use a 2qt combo bag that I bought at Walmart. It's not the best in the world by far but it does the trick just the same. For traveling I have a folding douche bag that I purchased at Walgreens I think. It has held up well, has a long transparent latex hose that I purchased at Home Depot (cut off to about 7 feet) with the douche nozzle attached. I also have a loop of nylon string and an extra hook so that I can use this outfit in just about any hotel/motel bathroom.

I like the enamel can that my mother passed on to me. Still works like new, and is in like new condition. No chips or rust. Have replaced old dried out rubber hose with a silicon hose and a #30fr colon tube.

I also use the cheap walmart bag but might now try and make a bigger system i bought a 5 gallon bucket from home depot just need to figure out a way of rigging it so i can attach the hose

or i might just do like the others and use a 1 gallon pitcher

^^^^ While you are at Home Depot, get a hose barb. Drill a hole in the bottom/side of the bucket and thread in the hose barb. Use a nut and rubber washer on the inside and outside of the bucket and tighten it well. Silicone sealant will not adhere to the polyethylene bucket and will leak in use. No problem.

I have a 4 quart open top which holds over 4 quarts. I like it because it is the traditional red and I can get my hand inside when I want to dry it out after each use.

Does anyone use a enema can? I've seen them advertised on ebay, and they seem to be well made and easy to clean.

I use an enema can (bucket) that I got from www.optimalhealthnetwork.com (search for ‘bucket’ on their home page). They have two sizes, 2 and 4 quarts. I got the the 2 quart one a few months ago. It’s of stainless steel, very easy to clean, and holds 2.5 litres if filled right up. It can be suspended or just stood on a suitable surface. A small rubber mat is useful to stop it sliding, as the bottom is quite smooth.

I bought a 4 quart bag from Health & yoga . Theres is very good and the best price,$28.95.Use there freight, no need to pay extra as its all air freight. Also bought there Higgins pomp.

Klystra 4 quart bag is the way to go. Don't have to do multiple fill-ups and they have a very good assortment

of nozzles. Quality stuff. And excellent customer service. I personally like to clear so I was watch the

level go down as I fill up.

The result is more important as the bag , the can or whatever .

My preference is a bottle of one gallon spring water , a higginson in line pump .

Having the possibility of adjusting the elevation , the bulb of the higginson will be used for increasing the flow , giving a peak when needed .

Budget is the price of an higginson in line pump , 20$ no more , and much more possibilities as a bulb or a bag .

If looking on a german site bottom of this page http://www.medtech3000.de/klistiereinlaufheilfasten-c-1.html 27 Euros + income taxes .

The all around most practical equipment is probably the combination syringe. If you ever need a hot water bottle you then have one. It's what I grew up with and when I got married this was one of the first things I bought for our apartment. Over 30 years later and hundreds of enemas later it is still very much functional. Also, if you are new to enemas one of these can be purchased economically.

I have tried it all. It seems to me as a solo enema friend, that they all give the same sensation that I can get from the simple bag or can. Flow is determined by height of the lovely red bag and the smallest diameter of the tube or nozzle or adapter. Intermittent flow can easily be achieved by squeezing the clamp or tube.

Or do you have news for me?
