Memories of seeing Enema Equipment

I remember seeing enema bags, hoses, and nozzles hanging up on the doors & shower stalls when I was younger.

I discovered my mother's douche and enema bag and when home alone from the age of 12 on up, I'd use it with great pleasure. The fear of getting caught always added to the excitement (I wasn't caught). I guess I was able to do that about every 2 or 3 months - over the years, the number of enemas has added up!

The first time I saw any sort of enema equipment was when I volunteered at the hospital when I was in high school I had heard of them before but never seen any of the equipment.

Unfortunately, about 5 years ago I was in a situation with little privacy and surrounded by some pretty prudish people. I found it necessary to get rid of a very nice enema equipment collection. I started buying some items again last year, but it's an expensive proposition. My favorite item has to be a 6 quart black latex bag I bought from enemabag.com. It sure looks great when it's filled to the max and hanging high from the shower rod.

We have 2x 2lt red bags each fitted with silicon tubing and FR40 COLON TUBES,

plus a 2lt white can, red tubing and a higginson pump plus large nozzle.

The very first time I ever knew about enema equipment was seeing pictures of the combination bags in a Sears and Roebuck catalog and knew then I wanted to buy one and try it out and never looked back since then!

The first enema equipment I remeber is on my neigbors bathroom door, she kept a red bag with a douche nozzle on the door. Then started noticing bags hanging in bathrooms everywhere.

I always enjoyed going into the local Rexall drugstore as a small boy in the late 1960's and seeing the vast array of enema bags, bulb syringes, nozzles, and colon tubes. Being a small town I could wonder the store as my mom either waited for a prescription or visited the cosmetics department to get the latest lipstick or perfume. It's so sad these great enema bags and such don't exist in stores now. Thank goodness for online sites!!!

It seemed that every house in my neighborhood had an enema bag hanging on the bathroom door or shower rod. It was exciting when doing homework at a girls house and the bag was on display. I always wondered who's ass the nozzle had been up last.

I saw equipment in all the drug stores as a kid and always heard about enemas in the hospital.

If you have access to any Eaton's Catalogs from Canada, particularly the older ones, from the late 1950s on back, that's another good place.

My first job in pharmaceutical sales was with the S.E. Massengill Co., selling their Rx products to Dr.'s, retailers, hospitals. One of the things we were expected to do was go into every drug store and ask the RPh. for permission to put free packetts of Massengill Powder into each box of his rubber "flatwear" and douche bulb syringes. I actually got to open every fountain syringe box and put an item into it! Man, I loved that job! And no one batted an eye, because I was conducting business. They couldn't see my hands shake as I opened every syringe box. Could a klismo. be anymore blessed?

Remember: SE Massengill is not the same company as Beecham Massingill that made Massengill products. At least not in the US. Maybe they were once, but that would have been at least before WWII

My neighbors always had an enema bag drying on the shower rod. It wasn't until I was older I figured out what it was, though.

In my house growing up in the 40's the red enema bag was seen from time to time hanging in the bath room drying. My mother gave herself enemas from time to time. NObody said a word about it. It was normal life at the time.

Twist

A girlfriend of recent years had her enema bag hanging in the linen closet in plain view as I was told always to take a towel from the linen closet when I was there. She wanted me to see it. I asked her finally what the enemas were about and she told me they relaxed her. So she said. It finally dawned on me that she wanted me to know of her enema habit in case I found it gross or something. She wanted me to accept her enema taking as part of the deal. I was happy to go along.

In our house the enemas were mostly over the knee. Mom didn't use a bag just multiple fillings from a red bulb with black nozzle which had a safety ring to keep from inserting too far. I can still remember those sessions.

My mom always kept the enema bulb and bag in a cabinet in the bathroom. Whenever the bag was used it hang on a hook behind the door until it was dry. I remember finding enema equipment and suppositories in several locations in the bathrooms of friends and relatives. It was always exciting when they were out in the open.

We had red combination bags, open top amber bags, and bulbs of various sizes in the bathroom closet.

I had a 2 qt red bag but hated refilling it so i made my own out of a stiff 1 gallon jug. It has a 6 foot hose and i have a couple of ends. My favorite currently is a 2 foot soft silicone tube to get in deep.

I must admit i still look for enema equipment if i am in someones bathroom under the cabinets and such, not found many though. Seems people don't leave them out as much as the did when i was a kid, I remember most all my friends moms had enema bag hanging in plain site or behind the bathroom door.

Sounds you took the same route I did Sailer, with your 1 gal jug. I too got tired of continually refilling my 2 qt bag, and made myself an enema container out of a 1 gal translucent water pitcher, which I now use almost exclusively. Plus, I don't have to worry about hooks to hang it on, but simply am able to place it on any flat surface at the height I desire above my butt. Very easy to use.

When I was child (50`s,60`s) enema bulbs were not hiden too much. When I visted a friend, and I went to the bathroom, I was quite commom to see the usual red bulb. I was thinking frequently, that poor boy/girl had the same threat that I had (I feard very much that time from enemas). However, in our family the bulb was put ina wardrob, beside clothes.

Back in the late 50's my mom used to work at a local mom & pop Drug store. I remember going in to the back room and searching out where the enema/douche equipment was at for storage and look to see what was new. I never opened any of the packaging, but liked to see what was new. I must say too, that I never got caught by anyone while looking in the storage room.

I love enemas, the look of 3 quarts hanging high is a real turn on. Like to pat the full bag. Its there like a dominant, waiting for me to take it. Then attach a large nozzel attached to in line pump. The nozzel is inserted and I lay back and watch the bag, then start the enema. Take the enema with about 3 stops. Yes I hear all Moms enema talk. Mostly your going to take it all and I do.

My mothers yellow 2 qt. open top bag would hang in the bathroom till dry after every use. I know she would douche with it because the smell of Massengill powder was unmistakable. It was also used on me and my brothers to clean us out on various occasions. I also would go into the bathroom late at night and give myself a bagful from time to time. Quite a turn on even thinking about it.

My mother always left her folding style bag hanging on the back of the bathroom door. The bag changed over the years, but the first one I remember was a red folding syringe with a red hose and a black bake-lite douche nozzle. Later, I tried for years to find a red folding bag, but they just does't exist anymore. While looking at some old Sears catalogs online, I finally found this style and color bag listed about the same time period of the one that I first saw on the bathroom door. Probably, that is where she bought it!

The next bag that replaced the red one was a latex yellow folding bag with a matching latex yellow hose and a white nozzle. This is the bag that I sneaked and gave myself an enema with a time of two when I was in my early teens. This bag was replaced with a more common pink bag with a white plastic hose. That was years ago and today I have a Cara yellow folding bag that is not that bad.

Growing up it was not uncommon to see an enema bag out drying. In our house though once the bag was dry it was put away in the linen closet and not left out. I had a good friend growing up who was one of seven kids and I don't ever remember not seeing out in their bathroom. My guess is that it saw a lot of use. But when I was in junior high I don't think I yet knew the difference between a bag used for enemas and one used for feminine hygiene.

I remember one time years ago when I was a freshman in high school I went over to a friend's house late in the afternoon so we could do some homework together. We were working at the kitchen table while his mom was getting supper ready. Suddenly Paul got up and made a hurried trip to the bathroom. About five minutes later he was back and we continued working, but after about 15 minutes he hurried to the bathroom again. I asked his mom if he was alright. "Oh, he fine -- now," she said. "He was constipated, and shortly before you came over I gave him a big soapy enema. I guess he still needs to expel some of it." Enemas, mentions of them and enema equipment out in the open in bathrooms were no big deal in those days! Sure enough, when I went to use the bathroom myself a little later, there was a container of Ivory soap flakes sitting on the back of the toilet and the big red enema bag was hanging on the back of the door to dry.

It has been MANY years since I saw one hanging. I remember once seeing one on the back of a bathroom door of some family friends. The woman was quite attractive. Years later, I wondered if she used the bag regularly.
