First post

Hi all,

I been a member of the site for a while but this is the first time I am posting.

I just wanted to know what most would consider a safe amount to inflate a 500cc double balloon rectal catheter. Also how many pumps would be safe on the 750cc double balloon rectal catheter?

I always thought I was one of the few that enjoyed enemas but after reading the forums I see that I was very wrong.

Thanks for the help.

The rule when I got my first double ballon, was four pumps, start there and if you need an extra go one more.

I hear, or should I say, read that some folks need six to seal the balloon in. I use five.

The latex is all I have owned and have great success with it.

Just keep it dry and clean like everybody said and you'll be fine.

I have both the silicone and latex double balloon catheter nozzles. The 500/250 silicone will prevent leaks w/4 pumps for the inner balloon, the exterior balloon is ok with 3. However, the 750/250 silicone will not seal with 4 pumps, the longer inner balloon has flutes that are not completely unfolded with 4 pumps, actually it causes leaks by channeling fluids almost out of the anus. The latex 250/250 is great with 4 pumps, might be ok for some at 3. Reason is the inner balloon is spherical and also closer to the outer balloon which also helps a lot with sealing. The silicone products are much easier to insert.
