Names of Bags

Paris, Petal and Sojourn by Davol

Steve, Sojourn was made by B.F. Goodrich. Davol's folding syringes were called "Travelfold" and "Starlet".

Nobody knows enema bags and devices like jimmyt44.

We couldn't afford a bag growing up so we called ours 'Ace" because it was a bucket from Ace Hardware.

I think that the PARIS bag was the most beautiful bag ever made.To my mind the SOJOURN folding bag was the sexiest and the SHY the toughest to deal with.After my gf gave me an enema with her SHY I realized just how much sturdier ladies were down there than we sissy men!

Not sure if mentioned: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/faultless-contessa-fountain-syringe-for-enema-or

The Contessa foutain syringe. I remember seeing it in white... can't remember the store, but the name struck me, as well as it being white. Might still have it in my put-away collection of bags (as opposed to the collection I have in my closet ready for use). On the other hand, I might have tossed it during one of my very dumb times of enema guilt..

The Aqua Fem, and it's contemporary cousin the Finesse, were electrically powered douching machines. I have both and neither is really much good for enemas.

They both use similar small centrifugal pumps and such pumps do not put out much pressure, by design. They give a nice spray from the standard design douche nozzle, but the flow stops if there is any real back pressure. They perform about like a bag hung a foot above the point of injection. This is not enough height to get water into someone who needs or wants help to poo.

That said, they are not useless. After you've pood, they do work quite well to rinse oneself out... essentially a rectal douche. Also, the Finesse came with a bidet spray nozzle, designed for anal and vaginal external washing, and that worked very well. Today, there are a variety of similar bidet sprayers available from China, but most are manual. Here is an example:

I find his type of bidet spray very useful after pooing. A quick squeeze and a wipe dry with toilet paper keeps the area nice, and my underwear, nice and clean.

We had a Faultless "Spectra" combination. It was a yellow closed top bag with white hose, metal shut off clamp and a douche and enema nozzle that screwed into a fitting at the business end of the hose. IIRC the first enema given by this bag was to yours truly. It replaced a typical red closed top bag with red hose metal shut off clamp and black Bakelite screw on nozzles I only remember one of two enemas with that bag before it dry rotted and was replaced with the Spectra. That Spectra was purchased in the 1960s and it was still in the house in 2005 whenever we moved my Mom into a senior apartment complex. I should have taken it but was afraid one of my brothers would ask where it went.

Love seeing these old enema bag names... Seeing them, I couldn't but think instead of a name like "Comfy" it should have been "Run Like Hell" ...

I think the best, most descriptive bag name was the Walgreens Commander.

Nothing flowery, like Petal or Iris

Nothing euphemistic like Goodhealth, Relief, Comfy

Nothing mysterious or exciting like Paris or Tropic,

When any mom brought that puppy out, filled with 2 1/2 quarts of water with Ivory, the intent was crystal clear.

The recipient was going to poo. Period. It was a command that had be obeyed without question.

The name says it all.

Thanks Sean That made me laugh, and believe me I needed a good laugh today. ( Been a f%^ked up Monday)

The one that always freaked me out was "Nearkid!" WTAF???

I guess in a crowded market you have to come up with a name people can remember, but c'mon!

Memorable for all the WRONG reasons.

At first I thought you were kidding about this name, but I googled it and low-and-behold check it out! Checkout the picture of the woman on the box. Imagine standing on the checkout line with this in hand...

@LisaK

The name "Nearkid" was meant to describe the feel of the rubber of the bag.... . ie: soft and velvety... like kid gloves..

It has nothing o do with a young person.

If this was already mentioned in this post I apologize, but B.F. Goodrich made a series of bags called "Coronet" The combination was #26 and I don't remember the number of the open top fountain syringe. They must have been top of the line because they came in a very elaborate box with a swing open "cover" and the actual syringe was inside a "tray" that slid out. The box was a sort of soft mint green color. The bags started out with black fittings and pipes in the 1950's then changed to white plastic ones in the early 1960"s. The styling of the bags was very art deco in my opinion and these are my favorites. Why are they my favorites you ask? Well I probably can't count how many gallons of warm water was injected into my young rectum with the combo version of that bag as a boy. I now have several bought from Ebay and it is my standard "go to" bag!

Here are pics of the Coronet Fountain:

Goodyear numbered it's syringes this way:

Coronet Water Bottle - 26

Coronet Combination - 26C

Coronet Fountain - 26F

Thanks for info about the Coronet fountain syringes - interesting. Wouldn't have thought it was top-of-line since I think of a coronet as less than a trumpet... so I googled for a Trumpet fountain syringe, but none haha...

I like the woman's picture on the back of the box... Women's pictures on fountain syringes made them all the more difficult to purchase in stores, as it makes it more like something a woman should buy..

@reddevil

Very similar pictures of women were used on several syringe boxes, both bags and bulb douches. I always thought they looked a lot like Princess Di, who was very popular at that time. YMMV.

I believe the people who name enema bags must also moonlight naming shoes!

Just looking through my closet I saw names such as:

Anouk

Pigalle

Bianca

Sweetness

Caress

Histericks

All could be really cool enema bag names!

Mom had a Davol Rubber company COMFY combination bag. When she died and zi was cleaning out the house, I came across it in the linen closet. It was in very good condition considering how long it was there . I took it and still have it. It has a red hose same as the bag, and black plastic connector cap and nozzles with a silver metal clamp. The douche nozzle which I love is not straight, but has a curve shape......toni

Years ago a vintage red KANTLEEK bag was acquired. But, in time, the rubber deteriorated to the point where the KANTLEEK bag, in fact, could.

@toni_78

The vintage black nozzles were made of hard rubber. That material softens in boiling water. Since it was common to clean/sterilize douche and enema nozzles by boiling up until about the 1960s, a douche nozzle could easily be bent into a curve to fit better or be more comfortable while still hot from the cleaning.

In fact, you can do the same thing with the now-common white plastic nozzles.

Reminds me of when I cleaned out my mom's place. For some reason, I felt funny about keeping her trusty enema bag. I knew she had a lifelong thing for enemas... could never figure out if they were sexual, or just medical for her. In much the same way I felt funny about keeping her bag, I was never able to discuss her enema fixation with her. I remember she bought the enema bag many years ago when it was on sale from Macy's dept store... if I remember correctly it was a Macy Grade A fountain syringe - googling I found: https://www.google.com/search?source=univ&tbm=isch&q=macy%27s+fountain+syringe&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi6kdGxw47pAhWChHIEHQLdDFMQsAR6BAgCEAE&biw=1280&bih=836#imgrc=n0D5Vyy3TjEFkM

I tried googling to see if there's a picture of this enema bag online, but couldn't find any. Wonder if anyone has one. Sure sounds great!

Thanks Annie2 - here's a link to what I found: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/red-regal-montgomery-wards-27412840

Sure has a nice long curved douche nozzle... It's an interesting looking enema bag shape, not the typical one like in my avatar.

@Sean I am familiar with the Aqua Fem but not the Finesse. Wasn't the Aqua Fem made by the same company that made the WaterPik? My father founded a chain of discount drug stores. When he sold out there were several AquaFems in his warehouse so they didn't sell. I wish that I knew that eBay or Esty were coming for I would have taken every one of them and sold them on eBay or Esty. Oh well! I don't need another pair of shoes! LOL!

Ddell2 , omg rinse your mouth with soap , you can always always use more shoes , and for sure one can never have to many vintage bags !!
