Open top vs. Closed top bag

Which do you prefer? What are the advantages of each type.

I prefer closed, because if it is no water flow by natural way, I or my girlfriend squeeze it and force water into anus. 😎

I guess you can squeeze a closed top bag, but add water to an open top bag.

Open top, the seal at the hose is more secure than the threaded stopper

I prefer and i use the open top. I prefer this type beacuse i can fill up it while i take the enema.

I like to use the closed top bag. For me it is easier to handle without spilling any of the solution.

Open tops are easier to clean and prevent microbial growth, which is hard to see in a closed top or opaque bag. I like something I can actually get my hand into for a good cleaning, like the clear silicone bag. Open tops also dry faster, which reduces bacterial growth.

It is true that the closed tops can be overfilled by siphoning or squeezed or sat on or filled with air for other effects.

I strongly prefer open top enema bags because they are much easier to fill, much easier for mixing solutions, and dry out much better.

I have used both the closed top red bag and the open top clear bag. I find the open top better for two reasons, 1, you can clean and dry it better, and 2, I like to be able to add more water if need be.

I use both. The closed is also OK to use as a hot water bottle which is sometimes good to have available.

Mostly, though, I use the big silicon bag from Klystra. It's easy to clean inside and out and you can see the contents drain as well. It's a good, heavy bag but I wish it was a bit more flexible--much like the old amber open-top bags which are not readily available in stores any longer.

If I had to choose,the open would be best for filling and cleaning.As for myself,bags suck plain and simple,they break in time,it's hard to tell exactly how much solution you've taken in.I believe my system is the ultmate enema setup,and that is a 4qt clear plastic container,made from a juice pitcher,it has 14oz 2inch dia clear plastic soap compartment attached to the side with own seperate tube and clamp connected to the main enema tube with a Y connecter ,Now if I could only have the clamps work by remote control.Let the good times flow.w/m72yrs/Western Ma

For me, and I suspect for many of us, the enema bag is a fetish object. As such, I want what turns me on most, not what is most practical.

Each of will have our own memories and associations to a particular fetish. For me nothing beats an amber open top folding travel syringe. It's true they are much more fragile than the classic red bag, but there is just something about the subtle shape changes it goes through from filled to empty that gives me goose bumps in addition to giving me a nice enema.

Open, easier to fill

After my closed top starting leaking, went to a closed top. Prefer the open top, easy to clean and to add solutions if needed.

Open top for me eazier to fill and clean

I have one of each. But I prefer my 6qt open top. I can fill it with 4qt and be good to go for a maximum fill. Like others have said it is easier to clean and dry. The only down side is the one I have is not transparent and not very flexible. It's a little difficult to tell how much I have taken.

I prefer a closed top because I don't spill as much solution with it.

Azdiane, I'm with you. An enema bag is definitely a fetish object, and for me the sight of a bulging open top bag hanging on the back of the bathroom door is a real turn-on. Soapsuds bulging over the top is like the frosting on a cake!

I prefer the open top type. You can easily add more water, or soap, or whatever. You can also clean them more easily.

I use the closed top because of the spills that you can sometimes get with the open top bags, but I prefer the open top bags for the flow you can get with them. The closed top bags seem to really slow down toward the end.

I like eather but open you can add. to it if you like . I have a 1gal home made with a long tube. 😃

Open top for the resons given WHEN YOU ARE ALONE.Closed top when you are enema romping with your girlfriend-no danger of spilling when things get lively!

I've used both but i prefer to use the closed top

For me the closed top traditional red hot water bottle combination bag is a real turn on watching the sides bulging out when full and so much more practical especially when using a higginson attachment.....

I tend to agree with azdiane... neatness of administration & ease of clean-up afterward notwithstanding, there is a sensual eroticism of the bag for me that totally adds to the experience. Being able to see the bulging bag diminish as it transfers into my tummy, and feeling the slow swell inside me is a turn-on for sure.

I prefer the open top, it allows me to take multiple bags without removing the nozzle.

That really depends on the situation... open top is easier to refil during the enema, but closed greatly reduces the risk of spilling when doing non-solo enemas in the bedroom.

Hi,

I have both. I prefer the closed top Olympic which now has a 6 quart capacity. I usually leave it on the shower rod and fill from my shower shot ( modified). I know what the bag looks like as it deflates and can gage just how much I have taken. The open one you just can not tell how much you have taken. For the problem with the flow or not, I put a flow meter on the tubing so I can gage how fast it is flowing.

Fraternally,

R

I also like the open top. I can fill it up with a shower hose without ever having to stop until I'm full. Quite nice that way, actually. Oh, I have to also say, glad I found this place, lots of good info and seemingly nice folks here.

Cheers!

I like both types as they are both a turnon. I like the open and closed top red bags, and I used to like the old blue pumpkin type, which apparently are not available any more. To me though, the cans and clear bags just don't do it for me, visually.
