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

I would say the Fleet because of its very handy to bring with me when travelling.

This sounds like a simple question but it depends on the situation. I started getting 3H's from mom at 6 years old with her red Davol bag. They continued for 6 years. Started again with a bag at 19. I tried a Fleet when traveling but the first one was very harsh and unpleasant. Back to the bag. I was away and bound up. After a trip to the local pharmacy, I removed half of the original contents and filled with hot water. Much better.

I prefer my bags or a bulb but a diluted Fleet has it's place.

It was always the bag enema full when young until college Over dads lap as he put it “thats how to get a good enema”

Only had fleet enema when traveling on vacation if one was needed usually refilled a few times with warm water.

I vote the bag every time! The fleet bottles are a bunch of crap! (Literall)

I've used a Fleet just once and it did not make a positive impression on me. You have heard me say it before “No home should be without an enema bag” but because of a couple of recent purchases let me rephrase that to “No home should be without an enema bag or an enema can.” I'm pleased to say that we now own both!

Like I have posted here before I MUCH prefer a bag enema. I have used Fleets before and the beat way is to get a two pack, empty one completely. Split the solution between the two bottles and fill both up with warm water. Take both bottles. This is the same volume and active ingredients as a Fleet enema Extra. It goes higher to give a better BM and is not as harsh as the small bottle of concentrate. just my $0.02 worth!

Absolutely must be the bag and bulbs in my opinion. Not only because of the volume, but the great nozzles one can obtain and use!

It depends. Here I'll only comment on enemas for need.

If the recipient is mildly constipated, for example usually poos daily and has not gone in two or three days, and wants prompt relief a Fleet, given and held until the urge to poo is very strong, should do just fine and the recipient is usually sitting on the toilet within probably 15 minutes and has stated to poo. Some feel that Fleets ‘burn’ somewhat but this feeling usually goes away as the exiting poo usually sweeps out any residual solution. Also, Fleet has the ‘Extra’ enema which is twice the volume and is, IMO, preferable.

However, if the recipient is really stopped up, for example has not had a poo in a week or more or is taking very constipating meds, a bag is the better choice. Giving a Fleet to someone like this is a bad idea For one thing, the Fleet does almost nothing to soften the big lumps of hard poo. And I speak from personal experience. One of two things will happen: either the Fleet won't make you poo but will make you miserable or the Fleet will make you poo and you anus will get injured as it comes out The latter happened to me a couple of yeas ago in hospital. For best results in a recipient like this, the enema should be just plain, warm water so it can be retained longer and soften the hard poo… at least for the first enema. Once the hard poo is out, a stronger enema can be given, if needed or desired.

Self administering, I prefer a bag. It just easier and less chance of spills and leaks. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have a difficult time self administering with a bulb. have injured myself in the past.

If someone is giving me one, either is fine. I prefer a bulb from someone, assuming the nozzle is comfortable and has enough lube with each insertion.

Fleets are more convenient but tend to be crampy and make you push. The bag with a little salt is more comfortable and is more fun to give!

@Moppys_jalopy

All enemas make you push, sooner or later. (Except for lubricant ones like mineral oil). The difference is how soon The slow acting ones usually soften the poo and make the resulting passage easier and lessen the chance of anal injury.

A Fleet enema is like asking a kid if they really want to go to school or just stay home.

A bag is #1, followed up with 2 “fast acting" Dulcolax suppos melted in warm water for a bulb injection.

Nothing beats a nice full bag!!!

This isn’t even a question… the bag hands down!

As someone who mostly finds myself needing one it all depends on timing.

For pleasure the bag wins, but as someone who probably needs it 8/10 times the fleet/bulb wins when I don't have the time.

I started using fleet then went to Lamapada, but I intend to enjoy the experience of doing it with the bag soon

@Emom I've used a Fleet just once and it did not make a positive impression on me…”

I was awakened at 6 AM by a grumpy nurse and given a Fleet enema to prep me for surgery. I was already having terrible pain, and I nearly passed out in the hospital bathroom. It was nearly 39 years ago, and I haven’t taken a Fleet since.

As Emom so discreetly shared, “It did not make a positive impression on me.” ☹️

I think Fleets are a joke for sensual enema play. I guess they have their uses for real medical situations. Otherwise I go for a 2 quart starter

My first 2 were small fleets the second one I thought worked . The day after I got an Ivory soap red bag one then those type were the cure except a few fleet mineral oil ones.

Bag all the way. Love a good long nozzle inserted into my tight hole. I have no desire to use a Fleet as they serve no erotic purpose 🍑💦

@Sean What you say is true but fleets are very saline and pull water from your intestines to work. They tend to be much more concentrated and make you push harder. The medical industry loves them because they are quick and disposable. Time is money!

@chelle300 I agree with you they are not erotic but they are efficient when you need a quick cleaning

There is NOTHING sensual about beng given a fleet! A bag accomplishes the same result in a much slower way and can be done in a more pleasant (however STILL a very embarrassing) way if a clean out is the intended goal!

Small enemas, to be efficient beyond just cleaning the lower rectum, must contain some form of irritant… whereas one can clean higher with less irritation with just plain water and maybe some bicarbonate of soda in a bag!

They really are quite different and Fleet types are more localized, bag is more thorough, but i like fleets and the generic versions a lot though too.

Yes definitely the bag enema, more exciting and enjoyable. Definitely try distilled water, I find I recover quicker by using distilled water instead of tap water

@Pecan_nutjob,

And if I recall, these are VERY small enemas of only 4 fl oz (half a cup). That’s the source of my distaste for Fleet small squeeze bottle enemas. Their misnomer-ed “saline” enema solutions which are not just NaCl and water are so irritating that I refuse to use them. The last two I had bought after my surgeon told me to use them preop I emptied, rinsed and refilled with warm tap water. Using those it was a delight to fill, hold and evacuate. Caveat emptor: read the ingredients and their effect.

I tested Fleet-like Enemaclean small enema.

It's very hard to hold. And it clean only rectum.

Bag is my preferable choice.

But sometimes we didn't have time for big hot bag.

For me there is nothing like the feeling of the water flowing in you with the bag! Now if your lucky enough to have someone giving you the enemaover the

For me its the bag nothing like the feeling of soapy water filling you up! Now if you are lucky enough to have a giver. Over the lap with a bulb is theway to go. Brings back memories of Mom.

Having never received a Fleet, I have no reference for a preference.

I do wonder, though, what is meant by “best”.

I used to use Fleets, a waste of money unless you just need a quickie. The bag is the ONLY way to go. 😉😃
