Worst accessory ever bought

Sometimes, we are disappointed in what we buy. We don't know something only works with special bags or hoses, etc.

My worst buy was a one way connector to prevent back flow. It slowed the flow down to a crawl. Tossed it and hung the bag a bit higher.

Your thoughts?

Actually if You are the only one who uses the Bag, You dont need a backflow valve. If you want one to have a faster flow go to Your camping store and take a look at some of the air pumps for inflating small rubber boats or air mattresses.

Quite a few have valves just inserted between pump and hose, and can be easily used for your needs. Sometimes camping stores have these valves seperately to buy, you dont have to tell the clerk you need it for your enema bag !!!

I didn't realize those affected the flow that much. Live and learn (without buying it).

The worst thing I ever bought was the 26 ounce bulb available from numerous retailers. Bought the red one and the black one. Both are nearly impossible to squeeze either on yourself or a partner and they are totally impossible to clean. What a waste. We threw them in the garbage.

I just keep the bag really high, about 1-2 ft above me. That prevents backflow for me.

Bought the flow meter from Beth Tyler (It's a Klystra) and it not only makes a loud noise as the ball goes around, it doesn't always work. Not worth the money. Bought a flow meter from OHN and it works great!

Thanks for the info on the flow meters, but what is OHN?

Optimal Health Network, or EnemaBag.com

The 26 Oz bulb is definitely rubbish. While it looks big and scary enough, It needs substantial strength to administer.

I bought one of those pretty blue rectangular folding bags. At first, I couldn't screw on the hose. It made horrible shrieking sounds. A friend of mine suggested using soap to lubricate (?) the threads. I tried that and it worked. So I filled the bag and was looking forward to fun. The flow never started. I checked the hose (clear, see-through) and everything was set up properly. But it dripped only one drop at a time and was just filling a small portion of the hose. I've had IVs that dripped faster. The water never flowed into me. It just hung out in the hose. Total waste of time.

Now the nozzle was kind of fun. It was longer than my usual nozzle and felt nice all deep inside. It was maybe seven inches and I haven't had anything that size in me for a long time. It was a little painful, but a deep, sweet pain that I've missed.

I bought on ebay one of those travel shower shot things that is supposed to fit over the shower head or faucet. Well, it does go over it, with determination, but any water pressure at all and the the water shoots out backwards and not down the hose because the connector between the faucet adapter and the hose is so small. The nozzle is nice and large though.

So to use this thing, I fill a 2 qt. pitcher with my solution, and with the nozzle inside me I pour the solution a couple of ounces at a time into the mouth of the adapter and wait for it to drain down the hose while I hold it above my head.

Same here, I still have it (flowmeter from Beth Tyler website) and it does not always work. I think it is a poorly manufactured process that causes it not to work every time as it should. What a disappointment. I also have a Higginson syringe from Beth tyler too, and it cracked. I ended up not using it anymore. Even worse I had double balloon rectal catheter burst. The only thing that lasted is my red bag from drug store and Klystra bat and penis nozzles, which I still use them.

I bought a Higginson at a porn store that stocked some enema equipment. It cost $15 and it never did work. No matter how hard I would squeeze the bulb, nothing would come out.

I also paid $20 for an inflatible butt plug and it came apart the first time I used it.

Here is a picture of the travel shower shot that I bought on ebay. At least, this company tells you the pitfalls you may encounter before you buy it.

I unscrew the head part from the hose on my shower massager, then I press the end up to my anus and let the water force it's way in. Very nice feeling.

The worst thing I bought was one of those damned Higginson things. I couldn't wait to get back home to use it. The valve gave out after about a dozen pumps and I was just moving the water in and out. What a disappointment.

I have had one of those, they suck

I bought a really inexpensive double balloon nozzle in the mid-80s. The inner balloon inflated with air. The outer balloon inflated with back pressure. If you tried to evacuate the water would inflate the outer one. No way to clean it.

Second was a colon tube, 48 Fr, don't remember how long, 50" maybe. Couldn't get more that about 9 inches or so in.

I love a 48 Fr colon tube. Maybe you just need an expert to show you how it's done! 😁 😁 😁 😁

The Beth Tyler flow meter is junk. I like to do long sessions, slow flow, and the ball blocks flow. The older model was a little better.

I've thought of getting the flowmeter but, after reading everyone's posts, think I'll pass. Thanks for offering your opinions on equipment that has worked and not worked . . . saves me some money.

The worst item I ever bought was the Tiny syringe. You filled it at the faucet, screw on the nozzle, insert and squeeze. The only way I could make it work was to lay over the edge of the tub, insert and let it flow into me. Better than no enema but not by much. I tossed it after a few uses.

I also bought one of those folding travel douche/enema bag.

It broke after 5 or 6 uses. The nozzle was nice and I still use it.

Bought a flow meter, the hose was too big and when I tied it on with dental floss, it came off and wet the floor. The other thing was a large inflatable nozzle. To hard to get in and slipped right out at the wrong time.

For those who have experienced problems with the Higginson type bulbs, one of the best one-way bulbs available is as close as your nearest Mal-Wart store! Go to the sporting goods area, and look in the marine supplies. What you're looking for is an in-line fuel pump for an outboard motor. They are made of heavy rubber, and have good one-way valves in both ends that are just right to fit in the middle of an enema hose. Cost ~ $5.00, and last forever. A little more difficult to squeeze than the "real" bulbs, but guaranteed to give you a good shot every time you squeeze! 😉

I have two nominees for worst. I won them both, but they retail for plenty, so even though I wasn't out any money, my experience may be worth sharing.

The first was an inflatable dildo very much like this one: http://www.twistmyrubberarm.com/menu.php?code=6083&cat=33. It had no core and could not be inserted until it was pumped pretty hard and large. Even then it posed a substantial challenge. Once in place, it leaked air slowly, so to keep it there I had to re-inflate every two minutes or so. Quite a bother.

The second was an inflatable nozzle like this: http://www.enema-web.com/inflatable_butt_plug_nozzle.htm Except it didn't inflate nice and symmetrically like the one in the link, but bulged on one side only. It also leaked air quite rapidly and would pop out without re-inflation every minute or so, much to the detriment of both my session and my grout.

Merlot, back to the basics in terms of equipment

I have a couple of flow meters from BethTyler, yes, they are noisy, but here's what you have to do to work right. Make sure before taking your enema to let all the air from the tubing by first letting the water run out a little, then pinch tube to stop the flow, now lift the tube high over the bag to allow the water to back flow into the bag and to fill the flow meter fully, then hold the tube downward again to let out more water. You'll see a stronger flow. When you insert the tube into the anus to start your enema give the tube a couple of quick pinches to get the ball going.

The worst accessory I ever bought are the steel hose clamps from BethTyler.They are too hard to open with one hand. In fact it is a two hand operation. I bought six of them at five bucks a piece, they suck. So now I make my own clamps.

What about items to buy? what is a must have?

Not actually an accessory but it would have to be those lil generic 2qt red bags you see in the stores.

I bought an "after Enema Balloon". Gave myself an Enema, popped in the balloon, gave it a few pumps and it made me leak .... binned it

Tom,

You may have had the valve reversed on the hose. I've had this same problem myself and found that the solution flows much faster when connected one way then the other.

My problem, on the other hand, is having the meter pull away from the hose and flood the bathroom with water. I've found that plastic "wire ties" to secure the barbs on either end of the device and to secure nozzles to tubing &tubing to bags works very well.

Have fun,
