Volume limit

essentially an open top can, from an old coke bottle, a piece of garden hose and liberal amounts if duct tape.

The good old days :-)

For me the limit is around 2 liter, but some times I don't even get to 1 before I need to stop.

I find that masturbating during the enema helps a lot to take larger volumes.

In my case, before opening Ileocecal valve, the limit is around 4 qts. This means my large intestine's capacity.

But once the valve opens occasionally, water flow into small intestine and the limit goes up higher than 5 qts. 6 qts is my limit so far. Just once ever though. The problem is that I cannot control the Ileocecal valve opening. The valve works well to prevent reverse flow in nature.

I cannot take more then 2.5 qts even after I have had a few to empty out. However, I read a book about the german army on the Russian front and it was claimed the german nurses gave "copious enemas of 6 qts" Can't imagine

We all have our bodily capacity limits when it comes to taking various amounts of liquid intake! I once or twice tried taking a 1 gallon capacity enema and felt nauseous and very uncomfortable and my upper limit is 3 quarts with no problem but average out a 2 1/2 quart intake most times!

All this talk about the ileocecal valve! Take what's comfortable for you, if it hurts or you feel too uncomfortable stop! Don't use pressured water (like the shower hose) unless yuo are experienced and know what you're doing. It's straightforward really. Personally I have found my limit to be about 6 quarts, and the pressure and fullness sensations are wonderful with an enema this large, but I know that's not for everyone, the thing is to enjoy it, not try to break records.

Redbag and Rich are right. Every one has his or her comfort level. Mine is 4 quarts. some more, some less. Go with what is most comfortable for you, and gives you the best results.

I agree with gizzmo on this point, especially in knee/chest

Although the colon capacity is fairly large why take chances. Not sure a lot more adds to the feeling but everyone needs to find for themselves

As I've stated, it took years of enema play, and practice, to be able to take 4 quart enemas. And there are other things to consider. First you should be in a completely relaxed state, not in a rush, have plenty of time. Next, have equipment that you enjoy. I have a large collection that I've built over the years. I love my 4 quart klystra bags. Next, have your setting comfortable. Trying to balance in a tiny bathroom while the enema bag is hung from a ceiling hook is NEVER going to feel good. It may look good in porn, but it doesn't work in real life. I have an IV stand on which I hang my enema bag. Use an enema solution that you are comfortable with, whatever that may be! And finally, go slow, take your time, and ENJOY!!!

I started with 2 quarts long ago and kept working with more. It was a stretch to take 4 at first but now that is usually quite comfortable. I have taken 5 twice but that involved just the right circumstances. Once (with help) I may have taken more but we weren't concentrating on volume that time. At least it was parts of 3 bags. I never force anything anymore. I just enjoy any amount!

Every individual has to find there own limit; but it has to be reasonable; start with just a few quarts, then graduate to something bigger but never inflict real pain; a little discomfort might be alright, though.

I know that 3 quarts is my limit. I can't hold anymore than that and I DO NOT WANT TO. Some fool on here was insistant on giving me a 4 quart enema. I said no and we didn't play. To this day he will not talk to me but I know my limits and I'm not about to do anything stupid, I would have to see the person in person!

Who could handle 8 liters! I believe that converts to 2.11 gallons. That's a hell of a lot of water!

I've taken a bit over 4 quarts, and that is my normal capacity, but that's a lot.

Eight to nine liters? That's likely more than the entire volume of the abdominal cavity. I have my doubts too.

For me, 1 and 1/3 quarts of plain warm water is all I want.

My max capacity is anywhere between 4 and 4 1/4 quarts depending upon the day.

For the first enema of a series, I can usually take about 2 - 2.5 quarts. But, after a couple enemas, I can usually take 3 to 3.5 quarts, and have sometimes taken over 4. But, you have to get all the gas out of your colon, and not be too irritated, to accept that much water. Too strong a soapy enema will get you cleaned out, but leave your colon irritated. So, it is very tricky to get to that relaxed situation where you are all cleaned out and ready for a big enema. But, it is worth it, as the sensation of a really big filling is amazing! When I do manage to get to that condition, the 3.5 quart or larger enema is NOT terribly uncomfortable, my colon is relatively relaxed but I can feel my belly is quite full.

Very warm water seems to help with that, it is very relaxing and the water just pours in.

(I'm, of course, a very experienced enema user, the above info is NOT for the beginner.)

My limit is 2 to 2 and half quarts of nice warm water then sometimes I will hold it for 5 to 10 min afterwards to get a proper cleaning out.

Limits In my honest opinion vary widely depending on lots of thing. Here are several that I feel are important. Not in any particular order:

1 - How often you regularly use enemas, or getting use to enemas is very important

2 - How relaxed your colon is.

3 - How cleaned out your colon is from the previous enema

4 - Your physical size

5 - How recently you have eaten.

6 - How much pressure your willing to endure

7 - How much your enjoying your enema

8 - water temperature

9 - water pressure

10 -speed at witch you take the enema

All these things considered my limits seems to be just over 3 quarts, comfortably, but I'm sure I have exceed this more than once by not completely emptying from the previous enema,

For me I would say about 3 quarts is my max.

The difference between my 3 quart enemas is that some will produce cramping while others will go in with minimal to no cramping. The cramping seems to be dependent on whether my colon is clear or not. Clear before starting the enema- no cramps; not clear: more cramping. If I have had my 2 daily BMs before I start my enemas, then I can take the the 3 quarts easily.

But from a fullness standpoint, I really can't go beyond three quarts and really don't want to.

After more than a decade of semi-regular enemas with increasing frequency and increasing volumes, I'd say by now my absolute limit - the most I've ever taken - was about 4.5 quarts. It was very uncomfortable and made me feel almost physically overwhelmed and a little bit nauseated for a moment. In terms of the top volume that's achievable for me on a somewhat regular basis, I've taken 4 quarts at least a dozen times, and 3.5 quarts far more times than that.

For me personally it's 4 qts

You will know from the feel when you can't hold any more!

Everybody's different, but I doubt it is much more than 6 qts for anyone.

Mine was exactly 5 quarts done only once. No pain, lots of pleasant pressure and distention. I felt like I could have carefully done more but didn't want the risk. If I had a real Domme treating me, I might let her just keep going unless I started to get painful or uncomfortable, but I don't know what that limit would be. I'm happy enough these days with 4-4.5 q routinely now. It's very pleasant and a good orgasm stimulus.

But I arrived at the 5 almost by accident. I had taken 4 a few times that week and liked it, so I gave myself a fast 2.5 quarts from a 2.5 q bag and refilled it, intending to take another 1-2 q for 4 or slightly more. Well I started my second bag running and was enjoying it so much I may even have dozed off. By the time I looked up again to see the bag, it was completely empty, so I had inadvertently taken 5 full quarts, the most I'd ever done. I still have never done 5 again even once. It felt good with just great internal pressure with no discomfort or frank pain at all. I held it a bit, maybe 10 minutes and let it out with no problems. I might try it again sometime, but I get so much satisfaction from 4-4.5 q that I don't need the potential added risk from 5. It was a nice accidental experiment. 4 q does an extremely good job of making me feel full, pressurized, distended and humiliatingly submissive, which I enjoy. The strong D/s component adds a very intensely satisfying feeling to the usual physical sensations of a large long enema.

Everyone has limits and so much depends on ones age, size and experiences. But professionally when I give enemas you learn to sense when enough is enough. I am sure no one wants to clean up an anal explosion.

I agree with most other messages, the limit depends on a series of factors.

In full honesty I have often wondered why the volume limit should be a factor at all. For me an enema is nice as long as it gives great feelings, and that, but it might be just a personal thing, does not depend on the limit, especially if we intend with "volume limit" something like a sport record that you try to break.

Personally I have never taken more than 1.5 liters, and that was already for me way more than enough to experience a great enema. So much so, that I never took as much again.

I am impressed also with the limits that many here look for in terms of size of the nozzle, or for the size of the plugs and so on...

Especially in this thread I am cetrainly representing the minority, but still wanted to add a different perspective.

I have taken 6 to 7 quarts comfortably more than once i am going to see if my dr will let me do this for prep for an upcoming colonoscope

Be sure to tell us what he says when you tell him you do 6-7 quart enemas.

Don't be surprised when he says enemas are insufficient preps.

You can do a search here for a thread on that so I'm not going to explain it again.

Right. I can take 5 q sometimes enjoyably but even 6-7 (Wow) won't clean out above your colon, so just bite the bullet, drink your Miralax or other upper tract cleaner and later have your enema fun cleaning out the bottom half. Maybe even drop your volume to make it less risky at such a large volume since you don't need it to get the upper stuff out. Just rinse and repeat a couple of times if you'd enjoy that. I used to think reports of 6 or more quarts were fantasy but having taken 5 once myself, I can certainly understand maybe tolerating 6, though I wouldn't do it myself just to minimize my risk.

I have two Klystra Olympic bags that I hang from the shower curtain rod while sitting on the edge of the tub. They're supposed to be 5 quarts but they're not. The one I've used for years has stretched to 4.5 qts and the newer one is only 4. It took a few years to get my belly to distend enough to hold one full bag. After I got the second one I decided to see how much of it I could get in and was surprized that I could get half of it, so my limit is 6 quarts and no more. My belly will just not stretch any more than that. I have no pain at all letting it go as much as it wants to. I use a small handful of salt in each one and never add anything else to the water. When the water is saltier than blood, none will be absorbed, which prevents edema.

When I enema, I routinely take four quarts from a Klystra bag. I feel comfortably full, with some belly distention. I have never tried to push it any further because I don’t think it’s safe.
