Do you prefer enemas or laxatives?

My wife was in the hospital some of the x rays test she was cleaned out, they gave her xprep in the afternoon then enemas at bedtime & enemas until clear returns. I will tell you she was very unhappy after all the enemas. The thing she was given a barium enema was one of the tests after the prep she was very sore. the thing was is everyday there were more tests & she was prepped 3 days the same prep. I do not know if the hospital does it anymore like that but a while after that she became a nurses Ade she gave many enemas to people that had be given Xprep, some were glad to be given enemas because that laxative gave them the runs or hours!

I prefer enemas over laxatives for three reasons. Any discomfort from taking a cleansing enema does not last as long as the tormenting cramps from laxatives that keep you close to a toilet or rushing to find a bathroom. Enemas also work without adding chemicals to the intestines. I never experienced a laxative giving the pleasure that I have received from enemas.

Yes a complet cleanout use a laxative. Last Saturday morning my female friend was over I told her I was coming down with something. She asked do you have a laxative in the house? Yes the wasthe answer it was MOM. I to led I would take an enema later to get thing go she smile. I think you would be bether to take some MOM first like now. I said I would really rather not. She said get the MOM. I did she mixed a glass full handed me the glass drink it. I drank it down a about 4 Hr. later it started doing what that laxative does. That laxative was still giving me the runs sunday morning, I had take 3 enema Saturday afternoon. The thing is why I always take enemas when I need to and not laxatives.

The major problem with laxatives is that you upset the whole intestine to deal with the last 6-12 inches! Duh! This isn't rocket science...its common sense!

I have found over the years that if I want a real thorough cleaning out I will take about 4 tablespoons of MOM the night before I do an Enema Series. Everything about that Series goes much better and I get the desired results.

A laxative works on 22 feet of your intestine but a enema works on just the six feet of the large intestine that is constipated. A laxative takes several hours to work; while an enema can be taken and finished in less than a half an hour. A saline enema uses a quart or more of warm salt water; compared to a couple of inorganic salt tablets.

Enemas are the NATURAL way of relieving constipation.

Enema's are the best way to go, particularly if you enjoy anal stimulation at all. Their NOW, and their fun. Laxatives take a long time to work, and aren't enjoyable at all. Give the enema a try, you might really enjoy it, and will be hooked like I am. Go slow, warm water and mild (Castile) soap suds solution to clean, and a good salt water rinse. Use lots of lubrication in between rounds. You might even find that you enjoy enemas as part of your sexual activity as well. They're even more fun if you have a willing partner.

I would never use a laxative, too harsh for your system. Enemas however are very easy to incorporate into daily schedules and you get immediate results. I had two earlier today, got hot and horny and then took a shower giving myself a vertical enema. I am more then ready for the nights fun. they are Very addicting.

I used laxatives many years ago when I was in college and remember a time when I had taken one at bedtime, got up the next morning, went to class, and then had it hit. Everyone knows the feeling of the slow churning and then the sense of fullness. Fortunately, I sat near the back of the class and could quietly exit. A few months later I needed a laxative and was out, but one of my sorority sisters told me to do an enema instead. Without boring everyone with the details, I finally did it and was hooked. 😃

There is approximately 70 - 80 % of water, in our body,

You use chemistry to help your problem.

When you dirt from dust or whatever, do you use solvent or just water and soap.

Imagine to clean your hand always with alcohol or any solvent, what about your skin ! ! !

Tap water or spring water with baking soda ( no chlore in spring water )

Cheap spring water is the best, tap water is the cheappest.

Here under you found the right proportions

Baking soda

54,25 grammes/gallon

1,91 Oz/Gallon

14 grammes/liter

Temperature

98°F. => 107°F. or 37°C. => 41°C.

Never above 107°F. or 41°C. to prevent loosing your intestinal flora, who don't resist at such "high" temps

There's nothing fun or sexy about a stupid box of ex-lax. Compare that to your lover holding a long, greasy nozzle and a bulging red bag.

Laxatives are harsh and unpredictable. Enemas are fun and ideally suited for two folks to enjoy. Enemas are fun even solo. Why would anyone prefer laxatives to enemas? Beats the hell out of me.

I much prefer an enema to a laxative. The prime reason is an enema is that an enema results are cheap, sure, immediate, and there are few, if any, lingering side effects. All you need is half an hour tops for a quick enema to relieve the pressure. Or put two hours together for a complete clean out using multiple enemas. You can even do a combination of both. The quickie to get to work, and a relaxing one after work. This was what was done in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Then the drug companies did there advertising thing and they played up the so called embarrassment factor, and suggested enemas were uncomfortable compared to their laxative (which to me is untrue, I have had for more cramps with laxatives than I ever had with even a really really good enema!

In my opinion, there is a place for both and, when you think of laxatives, you ned to consider several different types, EG, saline like Epsom salts etc, irritant ones, like castor oil, lubricant ones like liquid parraffin, bulking agents like sphagula husk,etc etc. There may be occasions when a bowel clearance is required and it is inconvenient to have an enema, for example when staying as a guest then popping a couple of pills at bedtime is easy and neat but the results can be unpredictable to say the least. With an enema you nearly always get instant emptying and it is over and done with quickly whilst a laxative can reult in several hours of uncertainty. But as this is a site poopulated by enema devotees, naturally we vote for enemas whenever possible and regard constipation as a wonderful reason tho take one!!

A chance for you to have the opportunity to "taste" something new, who please and tease you.

Not a reason to stop to eat fruits, yoghurts, fibers and drinking enough water a day, 2 - 3 fruits a day, 2 quarts water a day, brown bread made by complete flower, fibers at the breakfast.

Sexy enemas in a healthy body, so good 😉 😘

An enema is in fact a quick and immediate resolution to constipation. The benefits of relief and relaxation far outweigh the waiting and bloating that I experience with laxatives. Enemas are much more fun than laxatives. Like Petalsoft says, the feeling of the nice warm water and nozzle are hard to beat.

An enema is so much more effective and less harsh on the digestive system than a laxative. An enema is the only remedy for constipation in my home. You will get immediate relief with an enema, and you won't be putting chemicals into your system either. You really shouldn't take laxatives too often anyway as they can make you dependent on them. Buy a combination bag enema kit at your local drugstore. Use 1-2 qts of warm water with a teaspoon or two of salt. You may find that after a couple saline enemas your bowel habits may actually improve for a longer period of time, and you may not experience constipation so chronically.

The key is to encourage perstalsis, which is an intestinal muscle reaction required to evacuate waste. I don't know what kind of diet you follow, but it's wise to stay away from too much sugar and high fat foods, especially cheese.

When I happen to need a "boast" because I am a bit backed up, like everyone here I would much rather it be an enema because of the health reasons and the EXTRA 😃 😃 😃 benefits.

With that said, I do not, nor will I ever, go solo. There is nothing wrong with my little box of Ex-Lax as it merely does it's job that it was intended to do. 😉

I took laxatives for a long time before discovering enemas last year. Getting the bag out and making myself an enema is an emotional trip for me that I could never get by taking a pill with a glass of water. No, for me enemas are fun and every one a bit of a thrill.

I've never liked laxitives at all, mostly from the standpoint you don't know when they're going to kick in, plus if you feel like you need one, you (me) want relief now, not 12 hours from now. I eat a lot of salads and grain type food, so being "stopped up" seldom is a problem anyway. I simply enjoy the erotic sensation of the enema while taking one, and the nice fresh feeling at the end. Beats the hell out of laxitives any day of the week.

When I was a child, I would often get a laxatuive called "Fletchers Castoria" to start. Then if that didn't work to mothers satisfasction it was - enema time. Today I just prefer to take a nice warm comfy enema.

With laxatives there is a risk that they will work les and less well and you need to increase the dose to get the same effect, in other words, your colon has become immune to their effect. I have never heard of enemas having that effect

My advice would be to avoid laxatives and suppositories. Usually they contain chemicals (that is how the pharmaceutical companies make their money)and harsh concentrated herbal mixes. It must stand to reason that the body resents laxatives because it reacts against them by eliminating. They irritate the lining of the bowel and probably the stomach too. Prolonged use can reduce their effect and make the condition worse.

So what about enemas? Personally, I really enjoy them so perhaps I am biased but, thinking about it, they simply fill the lower intestine with warm saline water (one teaspoon to a pint) and they can be controlled by the operator according to the wishes of the patient. They can be done slowly and if the clamp is only slightly opened, the flow is very gentle. They can be stopped and restarted on request and massaging can enhance the effect and eliminate any slight cramping that can occur. Also, of course, enemas are instantaneous, no hanging around waiting to dash to the toilet the next day.

Many people resent enemas because they think them embarrassing and dirty and possibly messy. But in truth, the majority of people, if they dismiss the embarrassment and relax, ie "give in" to the enema, will find it quite a pleasant experience if it is administered very gently. But do not expect any pleasure from medical administration which is quick and insensitive.

So is there a danger with enemas? Yes, there are dangers in everything. I understand that an enema a day can lead to dependence. Other dangers are tearing the delicate colon lining by being too hasty or rough, doing an enema while drunk or tipsy, using a hard nozzle without lubrication, mixing dangerous stuff with the enema water and using water too hot or cold.

The anal canal is the most sensitive part of the body and can give pain as well as pleasure. There is very little feeling in the rectum or colon beyond the anal canal so injury to the rectum wall can easily occur. Sometimes inserting a soft rubber tube well up, ie about 12 inches, into the colon will enable more water to be accepted before any sign of fullness but let water flow slowly while gently inserting two inches up and one back.

I am not a doctor or medically trained person so the above must be viewed accordingly. I hope I may have been of some help.

As a kid I didn't like my mom giving me either a laxative or an enema because she took over control of my bowels, often giving them to me when I wasn't constipated and didn't feel I needed them. She would give me a laxative just because I was acting cranky, or ate a lot of junk food, or didn't finish a meal, or because she felt that I needed a good cleanout for whatever reason. She would also give me a daily soapsuds enema whenever I was sick enough to be kept home from school, even though I wasn't constipated. I hated enemas because of the cramping they caused. Laxatives were better to take (except for bad tasting ones like castor oil and epsom salts) but they usually gave me diarrhea for a whole day and sometimes made me have an embarrassing accident in my pants if they worked suddenly and I couldn't make it to the toilet fast enough. Sometimes I even got a laxative at bedtime and then an enema the next morning if the laxative didn't make me go as soon as I woke up. Ideally I would have preferred neither. As an adult, I rarely get constipated, but when I do I guess I prefer an enema with me in control of when it works and no lingering diarrhea afterwards.

Growing up, it was almost always a laxative...good ol' Fletcher's Castoria. Today, I'd rather get out the bag and take an enema for two principal reasons: 1) certainty and 2) quick relief. The certainty is you know you'll get results on your timetable. I've never been one who enjoyed using public restrooms when the urge hit. Laxatives have always been a hit or miss proposition with me and the timing of when it might work is anyone's guess! So an enema provides that measure of certainty. Quick relief means just that. Why wait 12 hours or more when you can get relief in as little as 30 minutes?

Have fun and play safe!

Yes, but the small intestine doesn't need "cleaning". It's job is to process, not accumulate. Things being digested don't become waste until they reach the colon.. by then nutrients have been absorbed, and as the water is reabsorbed stuff accumulates.

Given the choice, if time is available I prefer enemas. I enjoy them both for the feeling of relief and cleansing they provide as well as the erotic component when I'm in the mood for that. Even so, their effectiveness can be helped along with Dulcolax.

I prefer enemas, liquid suppositories, then actual suppositories. solid suppositories take to long to work for me.

I only do enemas, never laxatives. Because enemas work a lot faster and are more enjoyable than a laxative. Laxatives take way to long to start working. Plus you get a better cleansing with a enema.

Enemas, without a doubt. I avoid laxatives unless there's no other choice.

I prefer enemas over oral laxatives. Next I would use suppositories or soap sticks and last would be oral laxatives.
