Easier with a full or empty colon.

I wonder if members enjoy starting with a really full colon or prefer to have some 'space' for their two or more quarts to run in.

If I am planning on a good clean-out I usually take a small (4-8 oz) enema from a bulb syringe first. Usually I retain it while I am getting all the other materials together and set up. Sometimes I expel it before I "get down to business" and sometimes not. Just depends on my mood, I guess.

As long as the stomach itself is empty so that the nausea doesn't get messy, I don't think it matters that much.

An enem into a full colon is harder to retain, but that's not a problem.

In the case that the colo-rectal area is really full of stuff it will be difficult to take an enema. In this case I prefer to swallow a good dose of Castor Oil and to wait for the cleansing and liberating effects.

I agree with LisaK - an empty stomach makes it easier for me whether my colon is empty or full or somewhere in between.

For me, the empty stomach makes for a more enjoyable enema and ability to take more.

If I need a serious cleaning out I have learned that a 1 to 2 pint soapy enema to get things moving helps and really does provide the space for a larger volume, most likely 2 quarts, afterward.

That sends like a good idea. I will try it the next time I am really full.

I only use enemas to relieve my life-time chronic constipation. I get the thrill (erotic joy?) of an enema knowing it is needed and must be given as the only way to achieve a bowel movement. The only time I take an enema with an empty bowel is a rinse enema.

I was given enemas at home for either Illness or constipation although later for discomfort along with constipation during my period. Both my Mother and Aunt Kathy would start by giving what they called "Minimas." If constipation was involved It was slightly soapy, if for illness and not constipation it was saline.

The amount depended on age but never exceeded half a quart, 2-pints, and it was given until the bag or can emptied or until the second cramp which ever came first. The knee chest position was preferred so the enema could go as high as possible. The Minima made room for larger enemas needed to do what was needed.

I prefer to be empty, that's why I inject a few milliliters of pure glycerine before the first enema, to get the "solid stuff" out.

When I start a sequence, I have not pooped in at least 8 hours.

I usually have to stop after taking, perhaps, half a litre, breath away the cramps and then relax and take the rest of the bag. Peppermint and sea salt is easier to take than a herbal enema.

Take care now.

I start with an 8 oz. bulb syringe to clear the rectum, so I don't plug the holes in my EZM inflatable. I insert the EZM, inflate the balloon and have free hands to work the clamp and the in-line pulse bulb; plus another free hand to work what may arise during the process.

I, like so many others, find that I do not like to take an enema with a full stomach. Nausea is terrible! But, I do like to take an enema when my intestine is full. I find that I can take more water if the intestine is full. Don't know why? But, it truly feels great.

For enemas the emptier the better. Same thing with colonics. The advice given by clinics is not to eat for a few hours before the session.

I really like to begin an enema series after a trip to the bathroom. The emptier the better for me. I may have a cup of coffee or two...but no solid food before I begin my enema session. My experience has been that nausea is far less likely when enemas are taken on an empty stomach. Plus, I find that I can take more enema solution as a result.

Have fun and play safe!

Usually when I haven't gone for 4 or 5 days!

For fun I like to start empty, but when I need one...well

Have to admit having an enema with a full colon already, is what enemas were intended for, and i love the feeling of the fullness, and knowing my guts will soon be expelled into the loo, loud rumbles, farts and all !

Have also done this wearing a nappy in the bath, odd i know, but good fun occasionally.

This is hard to answer. I very much like the thunder of a massive impaction hitting the pot in four or five waves until the caecum's load of 'mud' squirts out to tell me that there's nothing more to come! Great fun, even if I do have to stand by with the plunger to prevent the disaster of an overflowing toilet. But we have a wet room for a bathroom anyway, so it isn't fatal. to get this effect, I have to start pretty full. In fact, just getting my home made inflatables in is a problem: they don't seal well if they have to push into a mass of shit. I found a way over this. If I kneel on a closed toilet seat lid and pump air into the already full bowel, the leading turd will be left unsupported, the inverted rectum nearly vertical. I can then push it back into the sigmoid area with, say, a shampoo bottle of adequate size, without letting the air out. Removing the pusher allows an enjoyable fart to collapse the rectal walls and seal the turd in place higher up - or lower down, considering I'm still upside down! then I can get the nozzle (or the cuffed colon tube) in without obstruction and pump it up.

I have a degree of megacolon acquired in the most delightful way (years of large enemas), so I can still get four and a half litres of soapy enema in on a full bowel, though the pressure (and the cramps) are greater - yess! Retention is difficult, too; but the magnificent expulsion makes it all worth it!

I said this was hard to answer; because I also like maximum distension! But I can get the two in one session with the following rinse enemas, still given with the inflatable nozzle, to make it easier to hold really large amounts. So the real answer to the question is: :Yes please, BOTH!"

I like to be full of poop when I start. The feeling of the warm water as it works its way around my poop gives me a great feeling. When I evacuate on the toilet it makes for a much better explosion.

I like some room in there to get the nozzle in deep so if iam full I will start a small amount of water and expel. The first enema is hit it miss to get the full 2 qts. The following I take the full 2 qts.2 qts are max for me I don't try for larger, like others have posted before it's not a contest

I enjoy the first and all the waste that is released. It is a good and satisfying time. What ever fits. The focus is on comfortable cleansing and feeling happy in the process. Sometimes it's about time. Sometimes it is almost an adventure. If you go with a quart the first round and have plenty of time, just look forward to your refill in all its wonder.

I am more into erotic enemas than punishment or cleansing enemas. Two or three days of eating at a cafeteria with liberal amours of roughage maximize my pleasure from an enema.

My nanny gave extremely effective enemas to all of us and I think that her "pre-treatment" made the difference. Whenever we were to get an enema, nanny called us into the bathroom and we had to strip. Suppositories or usually a soapstick "stool starter" was immediately inserted and we had to sit on the closed toilet lid on an old bath towel while she prepared the soapsuds enema that we would soon be receiving. We had to hold the soapstick until she was ready; my uncooperative sister always tried to push the soapstick out prematurely..nanny just rolled up an old face towel and placed the roll on the toilet lid and she had to sit on it between her cheeks and this prevented her from pushing the soapstick out. When the time was up we almost always had a good BM courtesy of the soapstick; this gave the enema that we were about to receive plenty of room in our colon to fill every nook and cranny. We always had great results from our enemas and they were quite comfortable. My SO and I still do them this way today.

I am one that likes to start an enema session with one or two bulbs full of warm water, with or without soap, depending on the level of fulness in my colon. After that, it's "bags away!", until clear.If I plan correctly and have the time. the bags are taken slowly to get a good, comfortable fill. The relaxed, calm state afterwards is amazing.MRay.

I love an enema when I,m constipated..I use a balloon nozzle so I don,t leak and have to take it all....just like when I was a kid. Holding is harder but required....so I sweat a little and squirm too.

This is what a real enema is about!

Enemas are always better to me if I start out full. Even if I'm not constipated, I hold my bm the day before taking an enema if I can. I prefer to take a whole bag the first fill but that's not always possible.

I like to feel full at first. The whole point is to relieve that full feeling. A regular bag of warm soapy solution and then hold for best effect. Then several more for fun.
