How often do you take an enema?

Well, I don't have a set schedule, sundays are a certainty and any other time I can get one in, I like doing a series 2 to 4 at a time.

Once a week is enough for me

It varies depending on how my colon is working. Clock starts on the day there isn't a bowel movement. On the third morning if there is not any action then it is time for an enema.

I was alternating between a 3 qt soapy enema and a 3 qt baking soda solution enema, but this week

I decided to use soap again. I think it was a better enema, so I will continue to use soap, Dr Bronner's peppermint, for my cleansing enemas. I use either a Foley tube or a colon tube for these enemas. I start and stop the flow to allow the water to disperse through my colon. Typically between five to seven minutes total.

Activities permitting, I also indulge in a smaller - 1.5 qt - baking soda solution enema on Sunday mornings. This is a retention session using a double balloon tube. Wifey massages my abdomen during the retention. I get to relax and relish the sensations. We use a massage table for this, height adjusted so she is comfortable while she massages me. She likes doing the massage, which is nice.

There are different theories about taking too often. Not sure what is right

As often as I want or need to. There's no routne as to when. I would say that it probably averages out to be one or two sessions a month. A session might be 3 or 4 enemas if I take 2 cofee enemas.

I aim for once a week. But like this past few months I haven't. Been pretty busy and no time at all.

I have IBS-C and can control it with enemas. I take 2 enemas every 3 weeks. The first is 1500cc of a mild Castile soapy water enemw, followed by a very warm (108 degrees), 2500cc enema.

Usually sunday night to get a good start for the week

I take an enema each night routinely, which keeps me clean and empty the following day.

I try and give one tom self as often as my time permits.

I do Wednesday and Sunday every week, just like I was raised, now I do as many thru the week as I want, like most on here there are times when I will do several in a day, for several days and then it slows down, but like all Klismos I crave them and have to have them, so its never less than 4 per week.

As often as the need arises or the urge is too great to ignore. That being said, I am safe, sane, and a proponent of the positive effects of this simple procedure and indulgence.

Once a week

I do my series of 3 bags every weekend.

I try to have my two-quart coffee enema every day and usually miss one day out of a week or two, at most.

Not as often as I used to!

I'm a mother of twins and a professional woman, with a husband who also has a demanding job, a mortgage, and a dog.

How often?

Probably too often.

I try and take a minimum of 2 enemas every day. I have done this for many years now and am in excellent health. Some days I take more depending on time. Better than a back rub.

I would love to take one everyday, but too busy for my own good. Usually once a week.

Every weekend and once in a while one day during the week.

Lately I have been doing one or two every morning for quite some time now; soapsuds or salt water enemas are my preference. I feel great being cleaned out everyday now and have noticed no adverse effects from this daily regimen.

Every couple days or so when I have the house to myself......which isn't very often. Beyond that, it's usually about once a month when I have the opportunity to slide one in.....pun intended. 😢

As I live alone and have the house to myself, I take a soothing enema every night to relax before going to bed.

Usually 3 to 4 times a week, but there are times when I do it daily for a week or more.

In average, two sessions a week. Two to five times a session. About 7 times a week.

Usually once a week. I like to take a series of 2 quart enemas for a good purging.

For the past 14 years I have tried to do an enema series of 3 at least every other week. Tomorrow I plan to take one as my last one was 4 weeks ago I was going on vacation and I wanted to be sure that my bowels were working well without assistance. Everything worked well so treat myself (bowels) to a nice enema session of at least 3 hours.

Time permitting, I take one or two every day and have done this for over 40 years.

When I need one to clean myself out

As needed but not often enough!
