Cool Water Soapy Enemas

My Mom was very much an advocate of using a good soapy enema to treat a wide variety of childhood ailments. In the summer I often received a variant of my Moms normal soapy enemas. Instead of the usual very very warm almost hot water mixed with Ivory soap my mother would opt for a cool water enema. During her normal enemas by the time she was finished with me I would be a wreck. I would be thoroughly exhausted and soaked with sweat both from the exertion and straining but also from the effects of being filled with water that was actually much hotter than is advised on many of the sites I have visited. There was a mirror on the back of our bathroom door and I remember being able to look at my reflection. My face would be red from crying and all the straining and my hair tussled and matted with sweat.

So often on hot summer days my mom would choose to alter her routine. Instead of her hot water enemas I would be given an enema, still made with Ivory Soap, but with very cool water. I remember these enemas were unbelievably uncomfortable and very crampy. I always had trouble with cramping and bloating with all of my Moms enemas but cramps from the cool water enemas were different. They felt deeper and the pain was much sharper. I was wondering if there are others who remember cool water enemas in the summertime and if their experiences were similar to mine.

I Love the cool water Enemas Love the Pain it gives me

Quick cool enemas is my way of starting the session with 1 1/2 quarts of saline solution. I'll do four of these before increasing the temp and volume.My goal is to empty the colon before doing a take it to the max enema.

I would occasionally receive cold soapy water enemas from my mother and it seemed like it was usually when I had been particularly disagreeable and refusing to take my enema "like a good girl." My mother always hung the bags high which is probably why I would get cramps soooo bad, always crying and telling her it hurt. She never stopped, but instead would rub the small of my back and say, "just a little bit more . . . keep panting and be a good girl, you're almost done." It didn't matter how fast I panted, it still hurt and I couldn't wait to expell. Today I rather like to recreate that cramping pain.

Mom would use cold water enemas as a fever reducer when we were sick. Any temp over 100.5 would result in cold water up the butt. Temps were taken every 2 hrs to be sure the cold water was doing its job. One day my sister got 6 enemas before mom called the doc.

In yet another example of the variations among us, we see here folks who prefer cold water to warm. Although they are probably a minority, they illustrate how ultimately Individual the specifics of our enema affections truly are. And each person is exactly right about what works for him or her.

Warm,not hot, water is sooo much better than cold water. Around here our water pipes aren't very deep, and after a string of 90 degree days in July or August, tap water is hardly cold. That's the one time you can use "ambient temperature" water.

A warm enema is very relaxing and gets things started right. The cool enema afterward seems to contract the colon and completely empty it. I noticed the the discharge is a steady cool stream to begin. After a bit it will be warm, clearing out the last of the first enema and leaving a "cleaned out" feeling.

The guy two doors down was bragging all over the neighborhood that his wife called the doctor first, then gave him six enemas. Me thinks he liked the attention. I saw her blue pumpkin bag draped over the towel rack when I went to pee. Those bags expanded to hold a lot more than two quarts. He had reason to brag.

My aunt would always use The Enema when she was punishing me. I'd get a cold water enema, which she would make me hold while she gave me a good hard spanking. She'd the sit and watch as I used the potty, and after that she'd make me take a real big hot soapy enema (with the white enema can hung high on the wall, so the water would rush into my bowels, Peter

On really hot days, I sometimes opt for a cool/cold water enema. Hlpes beat the heat

As a side note to this topic, does anyone remember an article (newspaper/magazine) that told of a woman (I think nurse) that used an ice water enema to treat someone with a heat stroke or hyperthermia? It was years ago but I kept in in my mind as a pretty clever way to bring someones body tempeture down.

Ice water enemas have been in the armamentarium of nursing for years. They are used to bring down very dangerously high temps. Today cooling blankets are more common but cold water is still used. It is very time consuming, uncomfortable for the patient and messy.

Although I grew up in the deep south with its very hot, humid summers, I never got an enema just for the heat. I did get cooling enemas when I had a fever though. They weren't cold, just cool. I think my parents would use a solution of baking soda and salt for these enemas but, since I was sick, these enemas were given to me in my bedroom and I didn't see how they prepared the enema bag.

I remember the early on enemas around age 4 to 6...I'm not sure they were meant to be cool but they were. As the black rectal tube was being inserted I was told to start breathing deeply. When the tube was fully inserted and buttocks squeezed together with one hand, Mom would reach for the shut-off and with the resulting 'click' I would feel the cool soapsuds begin to flow...that coolness felt good at first (despite my loud protests), but as the enema continued, cramping set in and would continue despite breathing exercises or my screaming until the bag emptied. In retrospect the volume wasn't that great...probably 1/2 quart or so, the flow rate was moderate which with warmer enemas produced much less discomfort, yet boy... even today a cool water enema will create nasty cramps every time and certainly restrict the amount that can be taken.

I have found, however, a cool enema is very helpful if a prior enema won't release. A quart of cool water will clear things out (uncomfortably but) nicely.

Yes i do and love the pain miss that in a good cool water enema and love it with hot ivory enemas

Got cold water enemas in the summer as a child. Still use them during hot weather.

Room temperature water with ivory soap is still a fav.

I use a cold water enema if a previously given enema does not completely discharge. When eliminating the cold water enema it comes out cool fast and steady and brings down the remnants of the previous warm water enema until all is discharged. I use a water temperature of 60 degrees and work my way through a few cramps from the cold water.

Cold water enemas is what I usually get if I am a sub, my Domme's are always mean and use enemas as a punishment. When I am giving I usually have mercy on the young lady on the receiving end, unless she is really naughty.

Cool water enemas were always given if I was running a fever.

I would be interested in trying a cool water, soapy enema. Sounds like the cramps would serve as punishment for being naughty.

Always got cool water enemas for fevers. Warm soapy water for tummy aches.

Warm, not hot, water is better in every way.

I only ever got warm soapy enemas. It didn't matter if it was a cold day in the middle of winter or a hot humid day in August they were always the same. Growing up I didn't really like the idea of getting one, but they always cleaned me out the way mom wanted. Things don't change too much and no matter what time of the year, I take warm soapy enemas, too. A cool one does not have the same appeal.

When doing soapy enemas, I generally prefer warm. But on a hot summer day, I find a cool Epsom Salts and Castile soap enema very satisfying.

Warm but not hot to the touch is still better in every way.

I'm with you Lisa,

I prefer warm water. Even in the heat of summer. I find that doing a cooler water enema seems to help empty my intestinal tract after a series of warm enemas. No cold or ice water enemas for me.

My mom never gave me a cool water enema. Her enemas were always warm, bordering on hot. If I complained that it was too hot she would tell me it's not and that it needs to be warm for a "good" enema. She used to melt the ivory soap in a pan on the stove, fill the bag, then top it off with tap water to cool it down a bit (but never enough for me). I got plenty of her hot soapy enemas as a kid and continue to enjoy them to this day.

Just had a 2 quart warm, soapy enema followed by a room temperature flush. I had some cramping from the soapy water and could only hold it for a few minutes. The cool water felt great and I could feel it moving around deep inside, causing just a little bit of cramping. I'll take another warm water flush a little later.
