No enema equipment... What to use

Shower adapters are available for enemas. They screw right onto the shower hose.

You can always use a hydration bag from a hiking backpack. They all have an on and off valve too!

Just attach a little tubing past the on off valve, fill with warm water and you are good to go

I find it very interesting how many responses are "just go buy an enema/douche set at Wal-Mart" there are, but has anyone actually tried to do that? In my area (east of Los Angeles), you cannot find any enema or douche bags, as all of the stores have gone to the small disposable stuff. My solution is the following: Home Depot for a 20' length of 5/16 plastic tubing (approx. $7.00), Wal-Mart for a fuel pump for a boat outboard motor ($6.00 in the sporting goods section), and your favorite nozzle. Use a gallon plastic milk jug, slide the tubing down inside the hollow handle, cut about three feet of tubing off the 20' length. slide the short tube onto the output end (the direction of the arrow), the long tube on the suction end. Fill the jug with your favorite solution, squeeze the bulb to expel the air, insert nozzle (or just the end of the tube), hang the jug, enjoy!

You can find the old fashion red bag in any CVS RIte Aid walgreens or most any other chain pharmacy you just have to look in the feminine hygiene section i may sound odd but thats where there always at. you know maxi pads tampons disposable douches and then they have the old fashion red bags on the bottom shelf and normally even have squeeze bulb reusable douches. the last bulb i bought wasn't very good quality i would skip that purchase but the 2 qt reusable kits are worth it...

As I am sure many of you know if just enter enemas in a search engine you will find many places to buy all kinds of equipment on the internet.

Amazon has a good selection of enema equipment. Just enter "enema" in the search box.

You can always come up with something... But why? Equipment is available all over the Net. Just buy one.

Bottom half of a pen, sandwich bag, tape, vegetable oil.

To all of the people that wasted everybody's time saying go to the store and buy an enema: Obviously this post and people viewing it FOR WHATEVER REASON would like a quick fix for constipation and cannot go to the store right this minute. Its not about not being able to afford it or being embarrassed to buy it, it is 1 am for me right now and the neighborhood stores are closed. I am going to try the water bottle with the hole in the cap method. Thank you to all of those who posted something helpful. (rather than something pointless)

We put lots of squeezable plastic bottles in our recycling bin every week. Any one of them can be modified into a makeshift enema. If one of those happens to be from shampoo or dish detergent (no, Susie, I would not use one that still comes in contact with food. So you could still accept our dinner invitation) you can modify the cap so that the bottom of a ballpoint pen fits. I never tried any of this but as an engineer felt up to the challenge of finding something to improvise.

A woman with an attitude problem! Keep posting. You'll find that all sorts of folks will materialize to slag on you. We live for people like you. One can always catch more flies with honey....

Even if you don't have a lot of money for enema equipment, or want a lot of it around the house for whatever reason, you can always find a disposable enema bag, usually a Fleet Bagenema, at drugstores or medical supply houses. They are under $10.00, or can be ordered cheaply on ebay or amazon. And discreet enough to be tucked away in a small box or shave kit!!! Splurge man, enjoy enemas!!!

This thread dates back to 2011 and so many have posted that there are lots of sites that offer enema equipment like Amazon. I would have to agree. In today's Internet world, you can order just about anything especially enema equipment from beginner's sets to highly specialized equipment for the very experienced enema enthusiast. The only anecdote that I will add is that when I was traveling on business I did not pack my equipment like I usually do and I found myself in a hotel room with a handheld shower head. Well I unscrewed the shower head and used the hose to as an enema nozzle and had a great time filling and expelling in the bathtub.

If you are stuck in a place without equipment be creative and look for whatever will work. Sometimes the weirdest things can be super sexy fun.

Copy my avitar! You need a gallon water jug, a piece of hose and some crafters' thermo plastic glue all available at Wally world for less than five bucks. I was recently in a similar situation and put such a syringe together in my hotel room in about 20 minutes. Of course just sticking the plastic hose in the neck of the jug of warm water and starting a syphon works well also. If you can't work with a jug, some hose and water, then may God less you.

I know you must be desperate by now with constipation because I have seen similar threads on this board at least a year ago. However, relief is on the way because an enema a day keeps the doctor away!

^^^^ While your system is good, anyone (especially women, sorry ladies) who has to ask what to use is not going to have the mechanical know how to make what you did, especially on short notice.

Anyone who couldn't think of a water squeeze bottle is pretty low on the mechanical ability ladder.

I still say, go out and buy any type of enema gadget--fleets, bag, whatever.

If you have an "eve" brand douche, or any brand whatsoever, and you think you can handle the diameter, empty it and sanitize it, and use saline, or mineral oil, or that special soap for enemas

Recycling a Summer's Eve douche may be an option

Or just buy a 4-pack of generic Fleet enemas.

That way you can waste one learning what you are doing and still have enough to get to a clear return.

While everything about them is too small -- the bag, the nozzle -- I've never seen a Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS that doesn't have a basic 2 quart combination enema/douche/hot water bottle.

I'll second that, Pmoi. Unless they are sold out there is usually one 2 qt. combination bag on the shelf. I've even seen one in a Harris Teeter grocery store!

A water bottle like the cheap ones you buy by the case. It will work in a pinch. You can use it as is or find a piece of hoes and add it. Instant bulb!

I bought one of those disposable 4 pack enema kits on Amazon for 8 bucks, holds 1.5 liters and does the job. I carry one as a backup to my old latex bag when traveling. I was in Kuwait a few years back and did not think enough in advance to bring my equipment. I had to go to numerous drug stores before I found a kit, way too time consuming and embarrassing, never again will I not be prepared. It's easy to get good stuff off the internet at a bargain price and fast. Those cheapo kits hardly take up any room on a carry on. Be prepared is my motto as you never know you'll need some immediate relief, esp on a long trip wherever.

You can use it as is or find a piece of hoes and add it.

That poor ho, Moppy!

I agree with the comments about the summers eve douche bottles... the nozzle is perfect and longer than a typical fleet bottle nozzle. And the neck of the bottle is flexible which makes self administering easy. Just clean sanitize and reuse. I always keep one on hand. I have tried the Massengill douche bottle as well but didn't care for the nozzle as much, it seem like the plastic was rough to me and did not seem to be as flexible around the neck of the bottle.

Well, you could get an aquarium siphon (one that has a pump in the middle) for cheap and use that.

A turkey baster can be used in a pinch. Granted it doesn't hold a lot butt a few applications will get enough liquid in to make it effective.

I used a mechanics bulb syringe ( found in most auto parts stores) that had been previously been used to add water to batteries & evacuate brake fluid from master cylinders & other oily messes.It has a large bulb & about a 6” black nozzle about 3/8” in diameter, i had to seriously wash it out with lots of soap & boiling hot water and had to sand some rough edges on the nozzle, it gave a good enema though & i was satisfied with it.

Nope I have lots of equipment and plenty of suit cases so I have something around .I was a boy scout always be prepared they say and it's served me well. ….like the merit badge for knot tying !
