Where to buy Dr. Bronner's Castille Soaps?

I have found it at Target as well as several grocery stores not with the regular soaps but in the beauty/specialty soaps - near Burt's Bees (Target) or in the health food area (Kroger).

I don't know about the body wash but it strikes me that it might kinda harsh.

I recently spotted a gallon 'value' size Dr. Bronner's peppermint at our local Wegman's grocery. $39.99. That would cover a lot of enemas!!

As a substitute for the Dr. Bronners castile soaps, J & J Baby Shampoo seems to work very well, and it's not harsh at all. I've never experienced any unwelcome side affects from using it.

I was actually at a little fly fishing/ camping store this weekend and I was surprised to finally come into contact with Dr. Bronners products. They had little bottles for sale for the people camping nearby. It was quite expensive and I was short on cash so I passed. But that was the first time I have ever seen Dr. Bronners for sale anywhere. I still haven't gotten out to GNC.

You'll find the cost of Dr. Bronner's drops sharply per unit volume as shown here by one supplier: http://www.herbalfitness.com/drbronner_soap.shtml. Prices of camping supplies are notoriously high when purchased near camping locales!

Amazon has five gallons priced at $200 and just eight left!

No matter how awesome it may be, I can't ever see myself dropping 200 dollars on a single soap purchase.

Hmm.. Five GALLONS of enema soap.. that's 1600 ounces.. at one ounce per enema, that's enough to clean out:

1600 butts all at the same time,

800 pairs of friends taking their enemas together at the same time.

400 pairs of couples sharing a friendly clean out together.

or one REALLY HUGE enema orgy.

Gotta love Amazon...

Oh, that works out to 12 1/2 cents per enema.. a bargain!

Old, you crack me up. Who thinks of stuff like that, I mean putting it into the context you have, lol. That's a lot of butts, and would be one heck of a fantastic enema orgy, lol.

Now, where oh where could I find 1600 people who would be willing to participate?

A karmic bump for your very funny post. Bravo! 16 >17

Good lord--who would pay 200 dollars for a bottle of soap?? You got to stop shopping at Bergdorf Goodman in NY for this kind of stuff. It must have come in a mink bottle. At any rate $6-8 for a bottle of this is about right in some type of Vitamin shop.

That's not $200/bottle, hotflush. It's $200/five gallons! . . . and very economical at that price.

A while back I bought a gallon of Dr. Bronners, plain variety. It has already lasted for many months, but I notice that it is darker in color than when I bought it. Does it deteriorate? Is there a limited shelf life? However, it still works fine in enemas. Since I use 1.5 ozs in 3 quarts once a week, it will last more than a year. Maybe I should take more frequent enemas to use it up!

I think that Bronners is just a hype phony. Just one person opinion.

Would you care to share what brings you to that conclusion?

A few years ago, I purchased six boxes of 50 units each of pre-packaged Castile "enema" soap from Klystra. When I began using Ivory bar soap, the soap in the last remaining pre-packaged units also darkened from clear to ocher in color. It also had a longer mix time from thickening, but functioned as well as ever.

I formerly used Dr. Bronner's various soap varieties for ten years or so, but now believe for SSE/soapsuds enemas, nothing really beats using good old Ivory bar soap (dunked in hot water for a couple of minutes) for both cost and effectiveness.

@Ronema: reading the label on Dr Bronner’s soaps, I agree it’s not at all hard to reach that conclusion! But I think the label does the product a disservice. In fact, they are perfectly good liquid castile soaps, and they work as well as other liquid castile soaps for enemas as well as for more conventional purposes. If you enjoy the fragrances, or find they add a little extra ‘bite’ to the solution, so much the better.

Plantagent,

I used to buy the gallon sizes of Dr. Bronners soaps from Sherwynn's Healthfood store in Chicago (now closed, I believe) because nobody had

it in Springfield. Over time, some of them have darkened a bit and seem

to have become a bit thicker, which I believe is from some of the water in

them evaporating, even with lid on. To me, the soap is just a bit more

concentrated, requiring a bit less than when the jug was fresh. The soap

still works and smells the same. Actually, when I first started using Dr.

Bronner's (late 70's), it WAS thicker and more concentrated than it is now.

Your soap will still work fine for Enemas.

Thanks Ladydoc for suggesting GNC. Last night I picked up the last bottle of peppermint they had. Now I'm itching to have some fun with it. Too bad I'm busy until the middle of next week, so no rough ride quite yet 😢 but oh well, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I buy it at my local Target.

Kroger has it

It's great..... you will love it.

Careful with the peppermint soap. I used too much once and had some of the worst cramps I've had from a soapsuds enema. Although I know some people enjoy that, I'm not too much into the cramps.

I like Dr. Bonner's lavender scented castille soap when I do a soap and water enema. I only use maybe 2 tablespoons. More than that and I can't take the whole 2 quarts. Even with only 2 tbl, I can hold the enema no more than 5-10 minutes. It's a great cleanout.

I buy it at Wegmans but most health food stores have it. Just ask for Dr. Bonner's enema soap. LOL.

Amazon has 32 oz. for $17.49. Search for castile soap and several scents show up. Not sure about the 5 gallon size.

Several months ago, I just walked into Mothers Market, found a woman stocking shelves and asked her to show me where the Dr. Bronners castile soap was. I was surprised at the enormous selection of size and scents and was able to find the "unscented baby mild" I was looking for (light blue label). I whispered to the clerk that this is the greatest soap for an effective high enema! She smiled and said "I know - I've been told that by a lot of our customers". I asked if she ever tried it and she said "no - i don't like enemas"

I saw it at Walgreens in the natural health section near Burt's Bees, Eclos and other products. They had the large bottle of Lavender Castille liquid soap and two different bars, I think Baby Magic Soap and maybe Peppermint. But I wasn't paying much attention because I don't use soap. Even the mildest and tiniest amount burns my sensitive tissue. So it's mild solutions of herbal teas, water with a little sea salt or coffee for me.

I have found several different types of Dr. Bronners at Target in the beauty section near the pharmacy.

I keep hearing good things about Dr. Bronner's Soaps. Guess I'm going to have to head to Walgreens and pick some up. I have been using Baby Magic Shampoo and Body Wash, but if Dr. Bronner's has a similar scent, I would love to try that. Haven't had the problem of burning with any of the soaps I have used, but maybe I'm not as sensitive as some. I know some people like the "burn" from stronger soaps, like the green ones, but I'm not sure how good that would be for your intestines. To each his own, they say.

Any store that has an organic section or health food store usualy has it.

For those looking to purchase Dr. Bronner's in the UK the only place I have seen it so far is amazon.
