Enema Mishaps

I knew closed top bags had great advantages.

I suppose that if you do it often enough like most of us here, an accident or two is inevitable.

Maybe it is a messy leakage because you can't hold it, or the hose becomes disconnected, or you drop the bag or the pitcher of soapy water. All of these have happened to me and will eventually happen to you.

Gmafoxy tells of the bag that soaked the mattress. Towels soak up water and become saturated. I might suggest the plastic backed invalid sheets to soak up your enema accidents. They are available in most drug stores in packs of 20 and a cost as low as a half dollar each. I have been using these for years and use the incontinant pads on top of the sheets for extra protection. It has been a long time since I soaked a mattress!

Now, a week or so ago when I was on my Colon Hydrotherapy machine, the discharge tube separated from the speculum. I had two or three quarts in my colon and discharged it onto the pad and sheet. What a nasty mess because there was no way to stop the discharge, that is, there is no clamp on the speculum! The best part of this misadventure is that the bed sheet and mattress stayed bone dry. I replaced the sheet and pad and went on with the colonic.

Agree bound to happen and embarassing if you are not alone

I once had a clear bag, that I thoroughly enjoyed, but I guess from overuse, the bag ripped near the eyelet and fell to the ground and then split open. What a mess, but fortunately only water, and in time was able to clean and dry.

A few weeks ago I was in the bathroom and had already prepared the bag and had it hanging. Inserted the nozzle, released the hose clamp, and was enjoying my enema for about two minutes when the phone rang. Looked to see that a family member was calling and thought I had better answer it. While talking the nozzle slipped out spraying water all over the place before I could I could get the clamp shut off. Family Member was hollering what is wrong and I replied that I had a mishap and to call back later. Had a mess to clean up.

Anyone who has been into this very long has had the dreaded mishap, grommet that pulls out, the bag rips, the hose comes loose. I hang my bag in the shower now when the dreaded mishap happens the mess is easier to clean up.

Have had mishaps of every description over the approximately sixty years since first sneaking my mother's family enema bag and set from its box on the top shelf of our upstairs hall closet and "playing" with it. The first one purchased for use on me at age three was a typical red variety that I caused to burst ten or so years later. Appalled at my careless handling of it, I placed it back precisely as I'd found it and, soon after, was elated to discover it had been replaced with a newly-purchased yellow Davol set. If I was a suspected culprit, no mention was made. I'm certain my predilection for enemas became known to my parents and, if so, they never let it be known to me.

For most of the past forty years, I've preferred using my bed to enjoy enemas for full relaxation and comfort. That entails the necessity of additional care against mishaps, yet they do sometimes occur.

I was doing enemas on webcam and had the enema bag on a tripod with my brand laptop on a small desk next to the tripod. Anyway as you might have already guessed somehow a 4qt open top bag somehow ended up splashing all over the laptop.

Luckily 3 of the qts were safely inside me but the last qt ended up all over the keyboard. Thinking quickly I took the battery out and put the laptop out in the sun to dry off. A few hrs later I brought the laptop in and let it cool down to room temp after being open in the direct sun. I said a little prayer and hit the power button. Luckily it powered up and I was able to use the laptop for many years. Though in the future i made sure to keep the laptop out of the tripod's event horizon.😃

I have used a 1/2” latex ID tubing and pump a whole bag in the hose it expands quite nicely to accommodate the solution and you can push volume quickly. After you have stretched the tubing and will pop after awhile it is a mess so as they get old you pump them in the bathtub.So when they break there is not a mess wonderful way to push some volume quickly with a large bored nozzle.

Small zip ties are a must on the hose fitting / nozzle fitting the days of that disconnect have been over with me for years
