Women can become constipated just prior to starting menstruation, a hormonal “fact of life” that females of child-bearing age have experienced since the beginning of time.
My sister had issues with her period as a teenager. As preteens, our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene and enemas became our responsibility. Afterwards, we didn’t particularly like doing solo enemas, so we started giving each other enemas when needed or wanted. Once she started her period, she would come and asked me to give her a couple of enemas. Some months, it was every day and other months, it was every other day or whenever she needed one.
When I got a girlfriend in Junior High, and we started doing homework together at my house. It wasn’t long, before she noticed the enema bag hanging in our bathroom and made a commented about which nozzle was attached. By that time, we’d started leaving the douche nozzle attached, because that was the nozzle we were using on a regular basis whenever we gave each other enemas.
Then, one afternoon a couple of months later, she was having issues with her period. So, she asked my sister if she wouldn’t mind giving her a couple of enemas. Which my sister was glad to do, because she had the same issues with period that my girlfriend did. During the enemas that afternoon, my sister did two things. First, she used the douche nozzle to give my girlfriend the enemas. Second, she told my girlfriend about our after-school activities, giving each other enemas when needed. So, she suggested next time my girlfriend needed a couple of enemas for her period, she should ask her brother (meaning me). A month or two later, she did just that and we continued, with a few exceptions, doing enemas together monthly until we finished High School.
Whenever I gave my sister a couple of enemas, she always gave me a couple of enemas afterwards. So, after my sister told my girlfriend about this routine, she did likewise. Giving me a couple of enemas after I had given her a couple of enemas for her period.
