Memories of seeing Enema Equipment

I remember seeing enema equipment in my aunts and grandmothers bathrooms. I also saw it my a few friends bathrooms. Not that uncommon in my day.

In my home the red, rubber enema bag was hidden under a stack of towels in the hall linen closet. I had a little girl friend play mate and once I saw a still moist enema bag drying on the towel rack in her bathroom. I asked her if her mother had given her and enema and she got very upset so I knew the answer... LOL... Ah! the "Good Old Day"! Kids today don't really understand....

Growing up we were a few blocks from the town stores, I would ride by bicycle down almost every day to look at the extensive window display in Ross's Pharmacy. When the display was rotated out, I would go in and buy an ice cream cone so I could look at the equipment that was always on display. I wish I had the foresight to buy a bunch of gear. Then again at 9 years old and a $,25 per week allowance I would not have been able to afford to much ... and who ever thought enemas would not be in vogue?

My best friends had an enema bag in his linen closet as a child, and several relatives had them in their bathrooms.

My mom kept the amber latex folding syringe in the linen closet. There was also a bar of Ivory soap kept with it, for enema use. I remember the black adult rectal nozzle and the 3 black douche nozzles also kept with the amber bag.

It seems as though there was always enema equipment out in the open in the bathroom of my parents house. In my house it is either in the bathroom on a hook or in the closet.

Growing up in the Midwest their were enema bags and bulbs in most bathrooms , always checked out bathrooms when visiting relatives or friends

As many of our members have already noted, there was a time when it was common to find enema and douche equipment out in plain sight, typically in bathrooms. In most cases I suspect the bags, hoses and nozzles were hanging on towel racks or from door hooks for the purpose of drying out after use. However, on one occasion, I was using the bathroom of a friend when I noticed a large red bulb syringe, probably an eight once, with a very large, curved black nozzle attached. Before that, I had only come across the smaller bulb syringes with little enema pipes. The bulb was likely used strictly for douching but that is not what I imagined it's purpose to be at the time.

Growing up in Australia I saw many syringes,both bulb and Higginson, believe me I have never forgotten any of those moments. Never encountered an Enema bag,but quite a few Douche cans.

My mother had an entire arsenal of enema equipment in our hall linen closet. I remember frequently, secretly checking on the contents and of course she also kept bars of ivory soap in there as well. I can still smell the fresh ivory mixed the the rubber of the enema bags. My grandmother kept her enema equipment in the a dresser drawer in her spare bedroom. I am sure of her grandchildren new where she kept it. Every time I visited grandmas my first stop was the bathroom to see if the any enema equipment was out drying, then on to check out the drawer. What wonderful memories.

I remember seeing the red combo bag in our linen closet as a teenager. Also a red bulb rectal syringe with a screw-on black nozzle, and a Red douche bulb syringe with a black nozzle attached that you extended out to use it.

I saw the red bag a lot. Sometimes it would be hanging out to dry and sometimes put away where the towels were. We had a couple of them actually. I never asked or looked to see how mom told them apart. One was for douching and the other for enemas. They looked the same. But I could smell the massengill douche powder strong after it was used.

Most of the time the bag was kept in the linen closet in the bathroom. After it had been used in usually was hanging in the bathtub to dry for a day or two. It was usually put back in the original box..

When I was a teenager I babysat for neighbors and relatives quite often. Late at night when the kids were in bed was usually a good time to look around, if I hadn't already seen it. Most common place was under the sink in the bathroom, followed by in a linen closet, especially if it was in or near the bathroom. I don't remember any just hanging out to dry. Perhaps it was put away because they knew they were having a babysitter for the evening.

Almost everyone had a red bag hanging somewhere in the bathroom.Some were more or less hidden behind a door but many were in plain view,often when you closed the door there it was! Jim.

I was interested in enemas at an early age and occasionally would spot an enema bulb or bag at a friend's or relative's house. At one friend's house they had an enema bulb sitting there in plain sight on a shelf in the bathroom. There were 4 boys and 1 girl in the family and I suppose it was used often enough to be a waste of time to hide it away after each use. I remember it being a sort of rust-red bulb rather than the brighter red bulb we had at home. Different manufacturer, I guess. One time my friend and I were in the bathroom together to pee, and I pointed to the bulb and asked him if he got a lot of enemas. He said something like, "Sometimes I get one, but Mary gets them most often." By then we were done peeing and that was the end of the discussion. But I always remembered that. Mary was a year younger and not yet developed at the time, but several years later as a teen she rounded out nicely and I "amused" myself numerous times while giving myself an enema and imagining that she was also giving herself an enema.

I've pondered how many times in my life I had seen enema equipment in locations other than the regular display of mom's and grandma's enema bag growing up. It is a pretty staggering number as well, just not as substantial as those instances of being on the receiving end.

Some of those memories bring a smile to my innards and triggered some pretty wet dreams. While it is pretty uncommon these days, it still happens now and then. Boy what a treat at times!

I remember seeing a hot water bottle at my grandparents' once, on the rack with the robes and such. Something had caught my eye, and looking closer I saw a hose and nozzle of some sort. I knew that it was different from the setup that was very occasionally used on me several years before, but I had an idea what it might be used for. I don't remember an adapter cap, and it might have been a douche setup. My grandparents certainly never even offered to give me an enema (at least once my grandmother did give me a suppository when I was constipated and staying with them).

Probably in the early 50s; we were playing football at a friends house when suddenly I got the 'call' to take a dump. Running into the house the downstairs john was occupied and a voice said use the kids (teenagers) bathroom at the top of the stairs. Up I went, lunged into the john, dropped pants and sat down. Shortly I looked up at the closed door in front of me....and there it was.... only two feet away hung the most exciting enema bag I had ever seen....a BFG Sojourn in all its golden glory: the black collar, latex bag with black bottom and long translucent latex tubing ending at the ominous black enema tip. OMG ! How long I stared at it I'll never know, but my concentration was broken by calls to get back into the game.... A Sojourn, in the kids bathroom yet... Subsequent visits revealed the bag 'lived' on that door and was simply available to whichever kid (3) who had a need for it. Never pursued any details or questions, but never forgot that bag.

I can remember seeing displays of enema equipment in many drugstore windows back in the 50's, 60's and 70's as well as a large variety of equipment inside the store. I also recall seeing syringes hanging in the bathroom at most of my relatives and my friends homes.

As a preschooler I was with a neighborhood girl and we watched my mother giving a small child an enema. The girl who was more mature than me explained what an enema was and what it was like to get one. Age 11 my mother because of an illness announced that she had to give me an enema. After watching the enema scene hearing from my mother and his neighbor girl talk about enemas I was a nervous wreck not knowing what it would be like. I really getting the enema although I was really afraid to admit it to any one that I liked getting them.

Once when visiting friends who were like us, newly married, I spotted two combination syringe boxes in plain view on an open shelf in their bathroom. Of course nothing was said to the owners however the occurrence has provided some fantasy episodes considering that they must both have been into using them, perhaps at the same time.

You had to just close the bathroom door and there hung the enema bag that was used at least 2 times a week. It was than rinsed and hung to dry till needed again. Mom got to used it a lot on me. I did usually looked to see if other bathrooms had the bag hanging on the door.

My Mother kept her pumpkin style enema bag on a hook, at the rear of the tub, covered by the shower curtain. I had seen it many times, but it had no significance for me till an enema was given to me at the age of 6, nearly 7 years of age. After that, every time I went into the bathroom, I could feel stirrings I didn't completely understand. All II knew, was, that I couldn't wait to be alone in the house, so I could use that bag.

My mom would let it hang in the shower. We had 9 kids and 2 small bathrooms so when someone got an enema everyone in the house knew. We also knew when the douching was done because the scent of that yellow Massengil powder would pervade the whole house. Mom would sometimes do this late at night but the remnant smell would still be around in the morning. Being anally enema imprinted, I would look for the equipment anytime I was at a friends house. More often than not, it would be out or under the sink.

Although the equipment was not kept in the open, as we were very private, and I was scared others would find out I was given enemas, the enema equipment was kept in my mother's room, locked in her medicine/linen closet. It was the procedure to be called in and sit on the bed as she went to the closet and got out what she felt would be needed, bit it the enema equipment or suppositories, thermometer and vaseline. It was a patient, calm atmosphere that carried through the entire time together.

Yes, so did i..mom kept her red open top Davol Comfy combo bag hanging in the linen closet with the nozzle tucked into the top and the box with her extra nozzles underneath the towels. Instant desire and hard on.

I am embarrassed to keep my equipment out, but I know that is the best way to find like-minded friends. Maybe if I get a boyfriend, or girlfriend outside the play couple I know, I will do that.

Growing up in the late 1960s to the mid 70s, enema equipment was a common sight back then. All my friends mothers used to hang the enema bags either in the shower or on the back of the bathroom door. Every time I went to use the restroom, I would snoop to catch a glimpse of them then see if they were wet. Most moms removed the nozzle when drying so it was anyone's guess if it was used as a douche or enema. Some left the rectal nozzle on the tubing to broadcast what the bag was last used for. MISS those days!!

My mom used to keep the enema equipment in the hall closet until I was about 10 and addicted to enemas then she had to hide it from me,especially the douche nozzle,I spent lots of idle time searching for hidden enema stuff and looking for other things to stick in my butt!
