Retaining a Fleet Enema

OK, finally time for a little reality check:

Those of us who use enemas have a love-hate relationship with the Fleet enema.

What is the longest you have ever retained a Fleet Enema?

For me overnight.

Needed one while in the hosp last year. The Nurses were somewhat surprised. Turned out I was very dehydrated.

Fleets 'bother" my system almost immediately, AND continue to do so, for HOURS afterwards, I Refuse ANY order given for one. Ruins any "fun" concepts I MAY HAVE FOR A REALLY good ENEMA. Walt

The longest sub has had to retain a fleet was 40 minutes, maybe 45. He was not doing the best when permission to go was given.

My longest time was 16 minutes I think. It wasn't easy, that's for sure.

Five minutes and I was exploding as I got up and lunged for the toilet. My typical retention time is 2 to 3 minutes.

@Lisa K I've used fleets that did absolutely nothing when administered. Upon checking their experation dates, they had been out of date for sometime. I and my sub thought the chemicals had lost their "zip". Maybe jeffl's wasn't "fresh".

Never could get any satisfaction from a Fleet enema. I don't know why they are prescribed prior to procedures. I was asked by a nurse prior to a TRUS if I had done a bowel prep. I just told her the Fleet enema didn't work and she just laughed. Did a rectal inspection and said I was okay. Told me next time just take a regular enema.

Get Fleet, fill to top with water, put lubrication on entire tip. Heat in microwave exactly 9 seconds, no more.

Tell patient you are going to give an enema to make them feel better. Explain this involves a pressure sensation in their rectum which will be released as their stool evacuates.

With triple-gloved lubed hand, visually and manually locate anus and digitally gently determine slope of rectum. Expel any air from enema bottle

Insert carefully and gently and squirt 1/3 bottle.

Remove slowly and wait 2 minutes. Refill bottle with water and administer 1/2 bottle and wait 2 minutes. Refill bottle with water. Repeat enema, slowly giving full bottle. Encourage patient to retain enema for several minutes. After three squirts, volcanic emptying will occur

TIPS: Fleet extra works great

Unscrew the cap to refill the bottle. Remove the tip to refill the bottle. Be sure the bathroom is VERY close. If at all possible, position patient in the knee-Chest position. Encourage him to remain in that position for the entire enema. You want the solution to reach high into the colon.

Why on earth do you ever need a triple glove?

A regular or Fleet Enema Extra, after 5 to 10 minutes it's pretty hard to hold - and, I just plain don't want to hold it, it feels icky!

I can take one of those Fleet Naturals aloe enemas and sit on the toilet for a long time and not feel a urge to go. I end up pushing it out.

They say that those Naturals aren't meant to "make" you go, and they don't (mainly because there just isn't much volume to one, in my opinion). I think I'd like the formula they use, it's definitely not harsh. But if there was just more volume...

Yes, it's difficult to hold, I just suffer about 5 mins and then quickly run to the toilet

The longest I have been able to hold a fleets is roughly ten minutes 😮 although I used one at work once when I was alone, when low and behold a customer came in, now I cant say how long it was i held it but It seemed 😜 like i took an hour and a half to ring this person up !!!!!! lol

Only a few minutes for me, I am afraid. There are also some very tiny enemas available in Asia, not much more than an egg cupful. I don't know what the solution is, but I suspect it's a strong saline mix of some sort. Anyway they are real stingers. It is almost impossible to hold for more than a few minutes

Last year when Fleet introduced Fleet Naturals" , I bought a twin-pack and tried it. I find them to be pretty useless. They offer no sense of urgency. They go in, but there's no hurry in wanting to come out. And they're a bit on the pricey side.

Fleets are the worst no fun at all

Concur! Why even bother.

I'll use the fleet enema if I need a fast cleaning out of the lower tract. It's quicker then a suppository or laxative. There is nothing like a good bag enema for a good cleaning out.

A Fleet is convenient when giving a first enema. It isn't as intimidating as the enema bag or bulb syringe. But it isn't as effective either.

Hmm,I have not taken a fleet in so long im not even sure,they are cheap enough that I may have to grab some soon and try it out although holding is never something if tried to make a contest of and usually do bot retain all that long anyway

That's a long retain time wow

Many years ago, I took a series of enemas prior to a colonoscopy, and was pretty well cleaned out when I got to the doctor's office. The ugly nurse gave me a Fleet enema (just jammed it in and squeezed) and told me to use the toilet as soon as I needed to. After 15 minutes of waiting, she came back in, and told me to use the toilet anyway.

So much for dreams of a hot nurse giving me a 3H, prostate massage, and a slick handjob.

I've never tried a fleets enema. I have no interest in trying one. I like my bulb syringe.

Do fleets cause bad cramps?

Not sure if some people are more responsive to the effects of a Fleet but I tried one last year and had no problem in holding it.

It was all in date and had been properly stored and I was well hydrated so not sure if it was just an ineffective one.

Has anyone else had a problem.

I can't hold a Fleet saline enema much more than ten minutes. After I expel, it continues to generate gas for hours. Yuck.

The Naturals aloe enemas have no effect at all. After an hour, one is completely absorbed.

In My opinion, a fleet enema is purely a medical procedure. A true erotic enema requires a bulb syringe, needing multiple insertions, or an enema bag which results in a warming, filling experience.

The longest I have ever been able to hold a Fleet enema was 5 minutes. By then the burning feeling in my rectum was so intense I couldn't hold it any more. Most often even 2 or 3 minutes has been a struggle. Afterwards the irritation in my rectum and anus usually continues for an hour or more and I have a few more small expulsions of liquid and mucus before the irritation stops. For all of that, only a small amount of BM comes out. I get much better results with a lot less discomfort from a 2 quart hot soapsuds enema.

Would it not matter as to what kind of Fleet it was? Each one of the following will have an entirerly different effect, Fleet Mineral Oil Enema, Fleet Saline Enema, Fleet Saline. Fleet Sodium Phoshate. The Sodium Phoshate does little for the first 15 minutes .... then POW !

I'm happy to be among those who vote NO about Fleet enemas. For me they simply create misery without any sexual turn-on side benefits.

Remove Fleet bottle from cardboard package. Unscrew cap. Pour contents of bottle down drain or into toilet. Refill bottle with 50/50 glycerin/water mix. Squirt into rectum. Suffer and enjoy. 😮

Hugs,
