Colon Tubes -- Red Rubber vs. Silicone

I am familiar with what I call "red rubber" colon tubes. My favorite is a 48" 36fr I have had for many years. They are still available. Initially it was too stiff, meaning not very flexible but I soaked it in mineral oil and Vasoline and heated it in same until it became more flexible.

It is getting old and will have to be replaced. I note that now there are silicone colon tubes available in the same sizes as the red rubber ones. Do any of you have experience with the silicone ones. Are they flexible and comparable at the same fr. size? Would you get the same effect with a 34 or 28fr? The smaller diameters in the red rubber colon tubes tend to easily double back and are difficult to insert the entire length. What about silicone? It is all about finding one that will go all the way up without doubling back but at the same time not being too inflexible so that there is risk of penetrating the colon wall. We want to be safe and comfortable while having fun.

Bottom line: In silicone what diameter works best in the very long tubes?

The only silicone one I have tried (so far) is a 30" 32fr. that I got from Klystra. The first time I tried it, I was amazed how easily it slid all the way in with no kinking or problems. Usually, there is trouble using a tube solo; but this was great. I will be ordering some of the other sizes very soon to replace the red ones. An advantage is that you can use a heavier type of lube on them without damaging them; and I find it was easier to clean.

I don't know what others have experienced with them, but I would give them a good "2 thumbs up".

My name is mike. I find alot of people talk about colon tubes. I have yet to find anyone to meet that actually has one or uses them. I live in Washington but travel all over the us as a truck driver. I would love to find some one that can use a colon tube on me. Have had some good enema's but not anyone with a tube. I have always thought it would be fun to experience.

I had one used on me many years ago, and it was red rubber. They do have the erotic look to them. I would think that the silicone ones might be softer. Also would like to try one again

I have a red Klystra FR-48 I can only get it in 19-in. Too stiff

It's possible that a new era in colon tubes has arrived. www.siliconenozzles.com is worth a visit. A very interesting range of large French gauge up to 48 inches in length is available. They are designed and made by people who know what a colon tube should be able to do and feel great doing it at the same time!. I don't advise by experience YET. Anyhow, have a look. You will probably be surprised!

Certainly the site is worth a visit and has some very interesting products. But I’m not going to be among the first to order there.

I have both red rubber and silicone colon tubes and prefer the silicone hands down. As an earlier poster in this thread mentioned, the silicone tube is very easy to insert (especially if playing solo) and getting the full length in is relatively easy. The beauty of a silicone tube is the fact you can use non-water based lubes, so the tube stays lubricated on its trip through the colon. Granted, you can't use a silicone based lube, but plain ol' Vaseline works great, plus it's cheap!

I stopped by the silicone nozzles website in a link below...WOW! I'd be interested to hear from a satisfied customer!

Have fun and play safe!

Very interesting site; even comes up in iPhone app format. They let you choose length, color, bore and stiffness. Any advice on the various choices as to feel and use? I'd love to add one to my repertoire, but not sure where to start. Suggestions appreciated!

We have several clear silicone colon tubes of varying lengths. Seems they fold over/kink when we use them and have issues reaching their desired depths. We use them for our 2nd or 3rd enema. Never the 1st unless it is just a few inches deep only. We had a red tube years ago but alas due to age had to be replaced. Thats how we have the silicone ones. If you have/had a choice, which would or do you use and why do you prefer that particular one? Thank you.

I couldn’t ever get past the sigmoid with the red tubes. They were all too stiff. I bought a pretty big silicone tube years ago and I was then successful about half of my attempts. That tube after the years has gotten a bit stiffer now and I’m no longer successful with it. I would love to find a replacement, but I have not been been able to find one, not even from the same site. It was about 1/2 to 5/8s in diameter.

My colon tubes are red rubber size 32 and size 40. The 32 size tube slides in easily, the larger one is very stiff and not easy to insert, even with lots of sterile lubrication.

Red rubber

For the first 40 years,

I only used the red stiff/hard red rubber tubes, available in drugstores of the day, and medical supply sources.

I learned the old trick of softening them with diesel fuel later on and they would become softer AND larger as well. They held up for continued use for a fair length of time. This was the best I could do until discovering silicone nozzles and tubes.

From the convenient availability of many choices of softness and diameter and length options, I was able to have a small selection of different hoses on hand that have allowed much deeper insertions over the next several years.

The silicone tubes have opened up many more experiences never available with only the older red rubber tubes. For my needs, the silicone ones are far superior in ease of use and safety in insertion.

Just my humble opinion based on personal use yet I am sure there are other folks that prefer the older rubber as well.

Definitely Red Rubber

I like either one but prefer one about 3/4" in width with a real nice sheen to it. Always looks soo hot going in and feels just awesome!!

And of course hooked up to a large shiny red rubber enema bag.

I have my only first silicon tube. Love it.

Definitely silicone - glides in easily and feels so good as it meanders into the colon!

If I have a nice lady to help, I believe I leave her to choose.

I've kinda moved on from all the red rubber enema equipment from the past, but it's still arousing to imagine a good high enema session with a well lubricated, thick rubber colon tube from a like minded administrator. Today, it's all silicone for me. No worries of a latex allergy and much easier to clean.

I have a variety of colon tubes both latex and silicone. A silicone tube was included with my enema kit from Seeking Health. That colon tube was the same tubing used on the bag. It has a closed end and a side hole at the end of the tube. This tube is way too soft and was worthless as a colon tube because it would bend too easily and could not be advanced without folding over.

I did get a second silicone colon tube from Optimal health, which has a detachable nozzle on the end. This tube is maybe a little wider in diameter than enema bag tubing and stiffer, but I still can't get it through the sigmoid. Here is the link to the Optimal Health Network that shows the tube: https://www.optimalhealthnetwork.com/Tapered-Silicone-Colon-Tube-30-Inches-p/666.htm

I have two latex tubes (pictures on my profile page). One is about 1/2 inch in diameter and the other is about 1/3 inch in diameter. I have made it through the sigmoid bend many times with the smaller tube and I can see the tube bulge under my skin as it comes out of the sigmoid and into my descending colon. The larger tube is much stiffer and I have only gotten about 12 inches deep with this tube. I have never seen the bulge on the left side of abdomen so I know it might be in the sigmoid but not through it.

I have one more silicone colon tube, which is also shown on my profile page. It is a large colon tube from Silicone Nozzles and it's a little over 1 inch in diameter. I don't use this as an enema nozzle, but only as a deep penetration anal toy. I only use this tube until I have done a series of enemas and have totally cleared my colon. I have gotten this tube well up into my descending colon near the bottom of my rib cage- probably about 20 inches deep. This is very kinky and fun to do, but it takes a lot of preparation first to attempt to play with this tube.

I've been using the same red rubber rectal tube for several years, Fr20, about 15 inches long and easy to insert its full length. It scares my husband when I've given him enemas. It's been a long time since he's needed one. He asked sheepishly how far I was going to insert the tube. Just a couple of inches or so, I assured him. Surprise, I gently inserted the full length as the water went in and he never felt it. He was in the bathroom a long time. That's the difference when you use the tube instead of a nozzle. Learned that first from a nurse, who once joked that you'd usually "get more out" when going up higher with a tube.

Be it bag or tube, classic red rubber is what excites me most, like the red Davol bag I show in my avatar.

I love the feeling of a colon tube working its way in. You feel the givers hand holding your cheek up, you feel their hand holding the tube as they push it in deeper. Feel the off and on of the water flowing as it is worked deeper. Then, the water is stopped for a bit for a rest. Your back and belly getting rubbed while holding your solution. Then, it is being pushed deeper again as you feel the fluid being added again.

Then, it is as deep as it can go, you feel a hand under you, or maybe it is your hand, and it finds that magic spot. AND LIFE IS GOOD after that!!!!

After lots of trying many materials urethane is best.... flexible yet rigid, try the tubing that is used everywhere around here on trees for maple syrup production

Mine is amber rubber, not red.

I still have two red rubber colon tubes that I rarely use anymore. One is 36Fr and the other is 40Fr. both 30 inches long. Although they have been used to death, both are still in good shape, although I have only been successful in getting the smaller diameter tube inserted fully on a consistent basis. When I purchased my silicone bag from Optimal Health, I also got a silicone colon tube also in 36Fr. and have had great results in getting it fully inserted. I can only assume the ability to use a coating of Vaseline on the tube has been partly responsible for the successful track record.

Nonetheless, either variety are fun to use!

Have fun and play safe.

I use a catheter with an inflatable tip. Purchases are made at medical supply stores in size 28FR or larger if I can get it. Also I purchase a LuerLok syringe to inflate the tip which is usually 30cc (small) capacity (well a half a loaf is better than none). Total cost is usually no more than ten or twelve dollars and I buy two catheters. My medical supply stores don't have colon tubes. If they did, I purchase these in size 34FR or larger.

I bought a Goodyear colon tube off Ebay that I liked to use. Sadly it got tossed. 30 inch and soft it worked well.

Red rubber colon tube for me. FR30, made by Bard. It is more flexible than silicone in my experience. I use it about every sixth enema. Usually effortless to fully insert with the enema solution flowing.
