Flush before you wipe

How many of us have had the bad experiance of a clogged toilet after an enjoyable enema session.It's not the stuff you expel from the enema,but rather the wads of paper that do the clogging,so here's a tip;Flush before you wipe.Getting rid of the feces first can save you an embarrassing mess especially when you combind this stuff with all the wads of paper you use.So I ask;How many of you experianced a clogged toilet after an enema?

Only once, plugged it with pieces of banana

Try using less paper!

I always flush at least once before wiping. i have had the problem with plugging the toilet and this seems to be an easy way to keep that from happening. i also tend to use less paper when i do it this way.

I've actually found that it's the type of PAPER that's used causing the issue. When I use one of those "hella-quilted, air-fluffed, chamois-like" papers they always get caught going 'round the mountain so to speak. If I use the bargain basement 2-ply actual paper type it works like a charm. Since i'm using an enema anyway I don't expect there to be loads of solids that I need to wipe away so something absorbent is the best thing. thin and absorbent. haven't had a clog since and i've loaded it up pretty good sometimes LOL.

My method, to avoid a clogged W.C., is to either expell it all into a bucket first or, after each expulsion, wipe then flush. Altho' frequent flushing does waste water, it does ensure that the toilet will never become clogged up

Overall, I agree with twobagger. Flush before you wipe and/or flush more frequently.

The thin cheaper paper also helps, but I like absorbent paper since after an enema, you are more wet then anything else, so I prefer the better toilet papers. I just flush more to prevent problems.

I warned everybody in the fun with bananas thread to watch out for hard banana pieces stuffing the toilet.

This might be the best place to post this. A few weeks ago I was working through this big (I believe 2 gallon) bag I got off of e-bay and expelling in a bucket. When I poured the contents of the bucket into the toilet, it activated the auto-flush which threw me for a loop. A point of pride, I guess.

I always flush once and even twice while on the toilet and when I use paper I use it and flush don"t let it build to the point that it cloges the toilet get rid of it

Any modern toilet will flush by itself if you fill it rapidly, as by pouring in a large volume of liquid. It is simply due to gravity and syphoning in the toilet. Even if you fill it slowly, it will drain itself to its basal water line in the bowl.

Just flush once or twice during evacuation and then flush before you wipe. No clogged toilet.

I believe that the hype about the "new low flush" is a complete farce. In the old days the commodes had larger drain pipes and a more tolerant way of flushing everything away. This thread points out the fallacy of the "new" saving water. Since we have moved to a newer home with the newer appliances we have had a little learning to be able to accomplish things we didn't have to think about in the past. Now, whenever I am getting rid of an enema I know that I must flush several times during the expulsion to make sure that the commode doesn't choke. Even during a normal evacuation I must be vigilant about the amount of stuff collecting in the bowl and flush whenever it is deemed to be enough to cause a problem.

Are you sure that the amount of water in the watertank is well adjusted ?

In Europe all new watertanks have this feature , this is ecology .

A device working like you describe will have a double water consuption , whatfor ? need more waterspillage ?

I prefer to expel in the tub - this is so comfortable! Then I use an old fashioned chamber pot (I have an enamelled steel one) to transfer the shit to the toilet by itself (no paper at all).

There's a shower above the tub, so I can simply wash my bum (still no paper). Whatever I can't pick up will go down the drain of the tub with no problem. But even so, I have on occasion blocked the toilet! My problem is the tree trunks that emerge from me when I do an anema after going 8 or more days without a shit. They are often too wide and long to go around the bends. I break them up now with the handle of the toilet brush!

We have no low flow toilets here, but my home does have the two-flush tanks that allow you to use just a small amount of water to fluch pee away, and a full flush for solids. I have to be careful of my toilet system, as there is no main sewerage here. Just me and my septic tank! This I do NOT want overflowing...
