Enemas before Travel

Does anyone use them prior to a long trip, be it a drive, plane, or train? If so, what kind? Does it help out?

:-)

No -- just a plane water enema.

I have spent most of my adult life in travel; as a Marine pilot and then later in corporate life. Lots and lots of air time. Last tour in the Marines was flying the un-pressurized Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar around the country. Between dehydration and noise fatigue I was always pooped. What better excuse for an enema or two? It always helped. Sometimes I had to wait until I got home...butt then very loving wife did the deed.

I generally take an enema after I get to the hotel when I travel. It's challenging to bring hoses and such discretely through airport security but worth it in privacy.

I always do a good cleanout with a couple of enemas before a long plane trip and then overdose a bit on Immodium to eliminate (sorry) any chances of having to avail myself of airport or aircraft toilets. I can always have an enema at my destination if needed (or wanted).

I always take enemas before travel. Refreshing and I avoid that part of public facilities

That's great! I now have this wonderful/hilarious image of someone, mid-flight, bringing an empty enema bag into the plane's bathroom and trying to fill it with that impossibly tiny faucet! Love it!

To actually answer the question, yes. I always have an enema session before going on a plane trip. Typically the night before. Helps me feel clean, calm and I get a more restful sleep. I also try to have one when I get to my destination, if I can, to re-hydrate. One of the problems with air travel is dehydration.

Mostly I stick to my standard enemas routine. One 2qt enema with Dr. Bronners peppermint soap followed by at least two plain water enemas.

Ha! I still can't get the image out of my head! Brilliant!!

For long trips I try to do what my therapist does herself: have a colonic just before and after and take enemas as needed inbetween. Unfortunately, most hotel rooms are not set up for easy use of the bag.

A nice cleansing enema session before traveling is the way to go. It keeps the bathroom trips to a minimun and makes the trip go quicker. I might have to start wearing diapers on the trip to make it even quicker.

I will have a series (2 or 3) of either saline or baking soda enemas prior to traveling. It doesn't matter if it is by car or plane. i make it a point to have them several hours before leaving so i don't have to worry about any leaking. Depending on who i am traveling with, i may insert a tampon or even use a maxi pad just in case.

As kids we were give enemas before going on a trip, and Mom made sure we were cleaned out, to avoid any accidents while on the trip. Wish Mom were here to do the same before I travel.

Only if I don't want to have to poop during the trip or when out of home.

My wife and I went away last weekend. She asked me to give her a couple of enemas the night before we left so she would be cleaned out for the weekend. She then requested enemas again the second night after returning home. If only I could convince her of the sexual pleasures that are possible with enemas. Maybe some day.

Tjaj,

It seems to me your wife might be getting more out of the enemas than you are aware of.

At about age 70, I began taking pills for type 2 diabetes. Those things really mess with my BM schedule. If I know that I am going to be away from familiar or clean toilets, I like to take an enema on the day before. Then I can skip a day with no problem. Three different doctors have all laughed at me when I told them.

I just started this practice with my latest airline trip. A enema taken early in the morning the day of the flight made for a comfortable hassle free day. I guess for any future trips in my own automobile, however, I will just continue to deal with the problem in my hotel room if and when it develops.

Not before, but after long (7 hours or more) flights east or west. It is ,to me a good way of both restoring BM on local time basis, and to get rid of jet lag.

It's a good idea - to take an enema before traveling. I should try ...

Before, during and after. They all work. Giving and receiving works best.

I used to take several enemas the evening before traveling to relatives for Thanksgiving dinner. It seemed to have me cleaned out pretty well and I could eat very well all day and then move it on out with enemas later that day also. Oh what fun we have.

I used to take them when traveling on business, or in rural areas where no toilets would be available.

I was surprised to read a few years ago on an enema internet site that female stewardesses did the same before they flew each morning. And female executives did the same, especially when traveling.

An enema before a long flight helps having to have aa BM in flight. I find that they are good after arriving too as they help re-hydrate and regulate the BM's for a better jetlag recovery.

I don't fly much, but I know when traveling long distances in a car, the lack of movement for hours upon end leaves me very constipated once getting to my destination. An enema the night before leaving and then upon arriving at my destination leaves me feeling fresh and more energetic.

I like to take enemas prior to traveling on the road because then I will not have to sit on any public toilets. When returning home enemas are in order to relieve any trip constipation.

I take a small bulb of plain water to cause a BM before I leave home, almost every day.

My physician confirmed, that this could be done on a daily basis without concern.

Having a BM at my home is much more convenient than during my daily trips.

Rather a day before the enema way prevent problems, not every toilet is quite clean. A.

An enema before travelling or being confined to an inconvenient location, can be very effective. I usually take a fairly small volume just to get the rectum cleansed. I save the large volume enema for relaxation upon return to appropriate facilities.

I don't worry so much about taking an enema before flying somewhere, but if I'm going to take a long driving trip, I always like to start "fresh". On trips when I fly, I find I always need a rather large BM right when I get to the airport to fly home. Fortunately, most airports I fly through tend to have fairly clean facilities.

If I am traveling by airplane, I oftern will not take an enema because transporting the equipment is a bit awkward. However, if traveling by car, I will take a series before departing as the facilities along the route may not be clean, but some along highway reststops are only unsafe. In addition, I will have my equipment available to me fro fun and possible for some play too.

Better to do it after!

While I don't usually get motion sick, in the worst cases I can. It is better not to push my luck by starting out with any upset stomach.
