Which is a better enema-the Fleet or the Bag?

If the only goal is to make you or someone else shit, the Fleet does the job. But comparing a Fleet to a good old fashioned enema is like comparing eating a protein bar to eating a steak dinner. They both accomplish the same thing but for some of us there is no comparing the pleasure derived from the process.

No comparison in my book - hands down, it's the good old enema bag filled to the brim with strong soapy water as I show pictured in my avatar.

Bag enemas are the best - nice, warm, and deep cleaning.

Definitely the bag is better!

The bag is the only way to go

No question … the bag every time. I prefer the larger bag, since a goal is to always take over two quarts, and the nozzle is what does it for me. I have a collection and beautiful antique nozzles and enjoy the dildo-type as well. If it is a "scene" a prepared solution of Ivory soap chunks that have been softened and then strained to make it "high, hot, and a helluva lot" adds to it but be very, very careful with anything other than water -- from icy cold to extra warm. Never any alcohol or any liquid that bubbles like Selzer water or Perrier

Bag enema is what I prefer. Then bulb and then Fleets if I am in a hurry.

I prefer bag for sure but fleet is also good..

Growing up, I had both bag and bulb! Today I might prefer the bulb because you have to take it out and put it back several times.

I like the bag. I've had a few Fleets, but I dislike a couple things about them. First, when I need cleaning out, it's not normally because I'm stopped up in the rectal or lower colon area. It's usually up higher, which produces gas & lack of timely movement, and then I ultimately fill "from the top." I can actually be having fairly regular bowel movements, but I slow down higher up. A couple enemas with the bag always provides enough elimination to get most everything out. The second reason is that for me, the pleasure in receiving comes from three areas: the nozzle, my prostate, & getting filled up. I like to use a nozzle that reaches fairly high (my current favorite is about 15" long), and which can be used for rectal/prostate massage, because it's 1"+ in diameter. The enemas I take are quite warm, so I also find that my prostate drains at least some when I receive a large hot enema. The draining occurs both when the fluid is injected and when I empty. A Fleet enema doesn't do any of that, nor does it give me a full cleansing.

The bag hands down. Fleets burn to much. And why would you only want that little amount vs the whole bag. That’s a no brainer to me

The few times I have needed an enema,I opt for The bag ,I have lost just about all ability to squeeze a fleet ,or I can squeeze it so minimum no fluid comes out ,but I can hang a bag and have my good friend gravity do all the medication administration,no questions asked .

So hands down any kind of neuromuscular loss of function the bag stays usefull the fleet doesn't.

@doctorh3e - it's nice to hear from people who have similar things. I too tend to clog up high, and things will "taper off" so all of a sudden I'm really backed up and don't expect it. I figured I was just "wrong about it" and/or making it up.

I can’t stand Fleet enemas. I would much rather have a bag enema with plenty of warm soapy water.

Seeing and then receiving from the huge, bulging bag overhead is the ultimate experience!!!!

Why should one like Fleet enemas? Disposable? These things, my friends, are one of the reasons enemas, as we know them, have basically gone with the wind. These things, like on-line shopping that is killing malls, department stores, Jobs, have all but eradicated enema bags in stores. The pharmacy industry has added these things, along with chemical laxatives in order to make the all-mighty dollar! And what's bad, we (Americans) have allowed this to happen. We have become a lazy society wanting things that are easy and in doing so are destroying our society....not to mention jobs. My goodness, how did we allow this to happen?

I find the fleet burns and affects me a day after. I find the bag gives me a better clean out.

@FiestySue

Sue, have you tried the Fleet Extras? They have twice the solution volume of a standard Fleet, but the same amount of the active ingredients.

I've found they since they are more dilute they burn much less and, since they go higher because of the larger volume, they give a more effective cleanout. Also, they stay in longer so give better results.

I only Use fleets emptied out and replaced with water as a quick lower bowel clean out prior to a bag enema or anal play. Fleets to me aren’t really enemas ?

@moliere, thanks for the comment. I thought I was strange in more ways than one. I very rarely get stopped up in the lower area (rectum & anus); with me it's almost always high up, another reason for high enemas.

I may pose this as a question when I think exactly how to word it.

I tried saline Fleet enema (I was curious how it works...), cold feeling of solution was good, but 2 quarts of warm water from my open top red bag feels better for me and like others said, bag gives a much better clean out.

@FiestySue

I agree with you that Fleet burns and i find them uncomfortable.

Talking about Fleet enemas i will mention Fleet mineral oil enemas. They don't burn like the other ones but you are releasing from them many hours afterwards.

Bags or colonic irrigation. Fleets are a chemical dud and have reflux issues. The Reprop clyster is much better, more flexible and ecologically sound alternative to Fleet as its reusable and substitutable fluid wise.

Look at it from engineering and I don't think "dud" applies. Fleets were designed to be quick and easy to administer, ready to use, easy to store, inexpensive (compared to labor for SSE or materials for a 1-2-3) and generally effective on the rectum and sigmoid. They succeed at this. I don't think comfort of patient and full colon cleaning were parts of their design criteria (they don't even recommend warming on the instructions!) I prefer other options (and for me Fleets don't even work well to clear out higher constipation, at least with one enema), but they do fulfil their design criteria.

I guess at one point they were marketing them as "less scary" but I don't think that was a design goal, just a marketing idea. My guess is less scary wouldn't be effective after the first couple, because of the burn.

Not a fan of Fleets at all.

They burn a lot and they clean up only the final part of the intestine, basically useless if the impaction is higher up.

The only real usage for Fleets is maybe when traveling. You'll spend just ten minutes in the bathroom and a minor constipation problem will be readily solved.

If you have more time, though, better to invest it time on a good, slow enema.

I don't consider a 4.5 oz fleet to really be an enema. You need more volume than that. I am not a volume queen like the guys here who thrive on 4 quarts - but at least a quart to be a real enema. I've only used fleets (contents dumped and then filled with water) to prep for some anal play - never needed them or anything else for constipation.

My doctor is not a fan of squeeze bottle enemas. He's OK with home s.s.e.'s with either a disposable enema bag or the good--old--days Victoria enema bag I got all my constipation relief enemas with as a boy. Either of these gives a real/proper enema.

I've found fleets to be crampy when giving. It was interesting to find out that when giving a fleet, if you refill the bottle 2 or 3 more times while they are holding it that it doesn't weaken the results it strengthens them. My original enema instructor used to bring a fleet when she came just because it was embarrassing for her to obtain it and then think about it for a week or two before we met. This is detailed in the story "The Enema Rookie" which was a true account of those first meetings. I much rather prefer to use a bag and give the enema slowly with some stimulation.

I don't consider a 4.5 oz fleet to really be an enema. You need more volume than that.

Agree - and that's why the 2 or 3 shower shot enemas of just a pint or so I take I don't consider them to be real enemas - I need that bag I show in my avatar just like shown, some 2.5 qts of super soapy Ivory - now that's a real enema!
