How many soap suds enemas can be taken safely?

I feel the SSEs are quite safe when given propley. I always recived them as a child and as a adult. The key is always do a good clear water rinse to get the soap traces out after. This really works. My mom taught me this, never had a problem w/ SSEs.

At almost 69 now with enemas since age 15, I don't even recall the last time I needed an enema for constipation. Even though I love giving myself enemas or taking them from a partner, I'd really be surprised if I needed more than one except possibly for really severe constipation. But my anorectal tissues irritate easily and I always give myself the largest volume I can get in so I don't need to repeat it because I really enjoy large volumes. Unless the large volume stimulates an orgasm for me, that usually means I take in about 4 quarts and occasionally even more (lifetime maximum was 5 quarts). My last enema, as usual done for recreation and orgasm, was a couple of days ago. I filled the bag with 4+ quarts of Castile soap in normal saline, but I only managed to take 2-3 quarts before it felt so erotic that I stopped there and emptied after my orgasm.

I really am surprised when I read here that people need more than 2 substantial enemas for real constipation. Nothing at all wrong with it, but I'm guessing there's a good deal of pleasure involved in enemas over the first two.

Somewhere, way back on here, when I first began using the bag shown in my avatar I kept track of how many enemas I gave myself from it over the course of the next month(s). All my enemas have been soapy as far back as when I was in my twenties - so after keeping track of the number like I did with my new bag; the number of soapy enemas I've taken so far in my life (I'm in my mid 70's) must be in the 1000's. At least I've made to this age and remain active. I do have various medical conditions, but no way to know if all that soap could have caused them... and all things considered, I'm okay with it.

"It...it...it was....s o a p poisoning"

I have at least one soapy enema per week. My wife is insistent on giving me an enema for my well-being and good hearlth- usually first thing Sunday morning. 3 quarts of warm water with added goat's milk enema bar soap; Ivory bar soap; Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile soap; essential oils; and baking soda. If I am unable to take all of it then I'm given another enema. She coaches me by reminding me to “pant Michael- pant like a puppy”….just like mom did. ….michael https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/212297

I put a lot of Dr bronner's soap in a 3 quart enema last night that my wife gave to me. I felt slightly nauseated from the amount of soap that I put into the bag. Too much soap is not really a good idea.

Well, if you don't make it too soapy, you can take quite a few. I have taken 5 soapsuds enemas in one session, but that is a bit much for me. I usually take 3.

I take one 2qt soapy followed by a 4 qt plain water rinse.

The most I've ever had is 2 in a row with a 15 minute rest between them when I was a kid and my mother decided the first one didn't bring out enough BM to satisfy her. She always checked the results, often by having me expel into a chamber pot on a stool beside my bed or by telling me not to flush the toilet until she checked the results. She never gave me a rinse after a soapsuds enema.

My wife gives me 3 soapy enemas in a session, usually once a week.

I give myself or play with a playmate for between 3-4 extras during the week so a total of 6-7 enemas a week.

Never had an issue. I used to do a clear rinse at the end, but the rinse does not seem to make a difference.

I think it depends on the person. Everyone is different and capacities and the reaction to soap as well. Start out with one or two and see how you react to it. Some will be able to take multiple and for some they will be sick to their stomach and be queasy the rest of the day after one. Go slow, stay safe!

If it takes me 5 soapsuds enemas, I consider that a difficult session. I don't get the feeling it is close to the limit.

Wow! I imagine you are talking about 5 full-bag enemas!? That's allot.

Lisa,

What is the greatest number (5?) and total volume of the largest number you’ve ever felt you needed to clean out?

Eric

My opinion is about two enemas with soap of up to 3000ml each, followed by two more of plain warm water without soap, should be plenty to completely clean someone of accumulated poo.

Large volumes make it harder to hold the enema. And retention time is the key to really powerful enema action with soap. A 1000ml soapy enema retained 20-30 minutes will likely clean you out more than a 3000ml fill and immediate release. A rinse enema can be pretty much in and out.

That said, more poo will continue to enter your bowel unless you have been fasting for probably a day or have taken a large volume PEG prep or a powerful laxative and what you have taken has worked. It is pointless to start the enemas before the laxative has finished making you poo.

The effectiveness of an enema is not determined as much by the volume of the solution, but by the retention time. Even a single 8 Oz bulb of warm, soapy water will have you doubled over with cramping if retained long enough.

My record is 9 enemas in an 11 hour s3ession.

It was never planned that way, but I just could not seem to clear it.

That was AFTER we had lost Phoso-Soda but before I had ever heard of Miralax.

How many soap suds enemas can be taken safely?

The person who started this thread and asked this is long since gone from what I see. What are the safety concerns - colon damage? toxicity? Over the many many decades of my taking lots of soapy enemas, the biggest problem I ran into was hemorrhoids from hours of expulsion and sitting.

@LisaK,

Since you’re a longtime expert at cleaning yourself out with enemas for your colon plus any other fluids or meds orally to also largely clear your small bowel, do you know why on this occasion, 9 enemas (I’m guessing 2-4 quarts apiece) over 11 hours, were needed to clear you out? Were you doing a full system cleanse of stomach (pre-enema fasting), small bowel (oral laxatives) and enemas or just trying to clean out your colon with the enemas? Thank you,

Eric

That was one time I had cheated my fast.

It was before I had the 3-qt bag so they would have been 2-qt enemas.

Somehow I was trying to do it without laxatives

Did not realize then that the small intestine could not be possible without laxatives.

No idea but i can take maybe one soap suds enema. if more than one I get very nauseous and for me I like my enema experience to be pleasurable

I've given myself enemas for years. Most of the time it has been series. Usually two or three. Soapsuds enemas were always a part of a series. The type of soap and the amount of soap is the key to a good enema for me. I have learned that a maximum of two teaspoons of liquid soap is a max for me. More than that and I find it difficult to take my usual two quarts let alone retain it . I really like Dr. Bonner's Peppermint Castile but I have to use it in a very measured way. Half a teaspoon mixed with a teaspoon and a half of regular Castile soap really gives me a good clean-out and I can hold if for five minutes which is fine with me.

My rally was a close second, 7 enemas in 10 hrs. I was burping bubbles that time.

It does happen from time to time that I am given enemas up to three or four times in a week; but this is seldom the case.

But more often lately. This has to do with the fact that after 50 years I get soap enemas again. We are currently exploring the amount of soap that is still perceived as pleasant.

Too much and too often soap suds irritates the intestines too much; it's a lye.

I think a 2 to 3 qt soap enema once a week should be enough.

For me 3 sse are my limit. Any more than that and I am just irritating my colon and rectum. After 3 I switch to a saltwater rinse. I am always concerned with irritating my hemmorrhoids.

Oh my... 3... 7... in a row... You guys/gals are tough. (Sorry for informal language.)

Talking on real large (3l) hot (40c) and soapy (90ml of liquid castile soap, 90gr of salt) my limit is one.

Feeling like taking soul out. Not just the colon contents.

@421sseforme,

I underlined your first statements as it’s just like that for me, but my max is often 1, sometimes 2, rarely 3. Similar reason - my ano-rectal tissues, not so much colonic, are extremely sensitive to irritation, chemically or by friction of nozzles and fluids going in and out. I do adore the physical sensations of insertions and inflations and fillings, but after sometimes only 1 enema, my anus and rectum are too damn irritated to continue. A Domme once gave me three in a row one afternoon which very luckily by chance caused me very little irritation. Doing it myself or by my Domme ex it’s 1 or 2. That’s why most of mine are as large and as long a retention as I feel like that day, usually 3.5-4.5-5 quarts for 30-90 minutes, to deeply enjoy them but reduce irritation from repetition.

After our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene as preteens, my siblings and I started swapping enemas. A year or so into this activity, we realized a rinse enema with salt and baking soda added, worked just as well for us as soapy enemas. That’s not to say, we stopped doing soapy enemas, because we didn’t. A lot depended on our mood at the time. On the other hand, my girlfriend and I always did a soapy then a rinse enema, because we were swapping enemas during her period and that’s what worked for her. Once I was married, me and my wife used enemas for a variety of reasons. If the enemas were for sexual activity like foreplay and intercourse, we used rinse enemas, because we did want to irritate our bowels. Again, that’s not to say, we didn’t use soapy enemas, because we did when the need arose. Our primary use of enemas was for sexual purposes. We even used rinse enemas for health reasons, like me and my siblings, because we found they worked just as well as soapy enemas without the bowl irritation.

The first question that comes to mind is why take any more than that which gets the job done. I don't think I've ever taken more than 1 to 2 quarts of either mildly soapy or baking soda solution. Also never a rinse either. There are some who want to engage in a challenge and it is beyond me as to why.

@ericmacson but after sometimes only 1 enema, my anus and rectum are too damn irritated to continue.

I've experience the same... my anus swells up and makes expelling a bit difficult.... sometimes I can take a number of soapy enemas and this doesn't happen.... just the way my body works...

If a nurse who took care of me at home is any indicator, no more than two 1- to 2-quart enemas containing a mild soap, each followed by sipping 8 ounces of a solution to restore electrolytes.

She was very careful with me, as I was seriously backed up for taking an excessive amount of medication. She was able to get about 1 quart of mild Castile soap solution into me, which was very uncomfortable to retain. She was trying to be gentle, but she said I had to keep the solution in, and I was nearly crying when I was finally able to release. I didn’t want another enema, but she had me sipping orange juice for about 30 minutes.

She said I should have a second enema, and I could slowly take a full 2 quarts and wouldn’t have severe cramps. She felt there was a much more to come out, and was she ever accurate! Very little Castile soap in the warm water, in a hospital enema bag. What a difference that second enema made! So comfortable I was quietly moaning, which was embarrassing.

However, getting to the point here, since that experience nearly 40 years ago, I have never taken more than two enemas at a time, mostly just one has been enough because I know how. And I am careful to restore electrolytes. I’ve had a couple of after enema situations in the past when I have been lightheaded, and it’s no fun.
