Seen Enema Gear at a Friends House?

Would boxes of fleet enemas count?, If so, I've seen some visiting my then little girlfriend. my pediatrician's daughter for a playdate. we went in the bathroom to wash up for lunch and stumbled upon some fleet enemas her mom was administering to her. that's was all she said nothing else was said we just put the bottles back under the sink doors and went to have our lunch.

Never led to meeting an enemate for me.

When I was a young teenager, like most families, there was a douche/enema bag hanging in the shower and anyone using our bathroom couldn’t miss seeing it. It was common in the fifties and sixties to see such items in a bathroom or linen closet. When I was in Junior High a girl in several of my classes did homework together. Mostly at my house, but occasionally at hers. We were at my house one afternoon, when she told me she wasn’t feeling good. Then said, I needed to talk to your sister and got up from the table. The two girls disappeared for an hour or so and when they reappeared, my girlfriend was feeling much better. At the time, I didn’t ask questions, but that evening after going to bed, my sister told me what happened. It turned out, she had started her period earlier that day and was having bad cramps. Having seen the enema bag hanging in the bathroom, she asked my sister to give her a couple of enemas. Which my sister gladly did. The two girls talked during the enemas, my sister telling her about our after-school activities. How as preteens, our RN grandmother taught us personal hygiene, and why we started swapping enemas with each other. Then suggested to her, “next time you need an enema, you need to ask my brother. He gives me really good enemas.” A month or two later, she did just that, and we swapped enemas afterwards until we finished High School.

A friend of over 20 years just moved and I was there to get his electronics all setup and connected. I was looking for the media distribution equipment (5500 sq foot house, lots of electronics) he directed me to a closet on the first floor and sitting open on a shelf were 2 boxes of Fleets with 24 in each box! I never knew or suspected before that, I never said anything nor was anything ever said to me. I never saw any enema equipment even though I snooped.

So many times in the 1950s as enemas and douching were very common. Even saw the neighbor kids getting enemas

So sad that enema and douching syringes have gone the way of Mom and Pop stores. I truly believe that both enemas and douches helped many people and are still doing so today. However, our medical and pharmaceutical companies have put their interests above the interests of the public.. and that is money… So sad

In the town i grew up in we lived in the original part of town called The Village and it was basically self contained and we all walked to grade school and everyone went over everyones house and for sure most homes had enema bags than did not have enema bags and there were at least 12 of my school mates their bathrooms had a bag hanging in the shower or back of the door and more often than not if the bathroom had a linen closet there was an enema bag in it and yes i will admit when i saw a bag i had to inhale that ever so sexy intoxicating aroma and the reason why so many enema bags in all these bathrooms it was the tail end of the Golden Age of Enemas , 1959 -1970 , what a great childhood i had and compared to todays kids growing up i feel blessed and lucky and guilty

You have now described it so beautifully and aptly; mentally, my childhood passed me by in a rush of seconds...😎; despite hating all the enemas received at the time, especially the ones meant to get me back on track; the punishment enemas…

From today's point of view, I would love to experience each and every one of them again, also with the sensations and feelings of that time; It was all so special and sadly it will never come back in this way.

Quite a few of my buddies at the time were also given enemas. I knew who had red bags hanging in the bathroom at home or who had bulbs lying around. I never looked for hidden ones, but sometimes you could hear the well-known typical smell of rubber...

I sympathized every time I saw these things on buddies. When I read so many posts from members here who really liked and loved enemas as children, I now doubt whether I belong to a minority who saw it differently.

The faces of drugstores and medical stores have changed over time from those of the past; I think today I'd press my nose against the shop window with a stiff in my pants...

I can still consciously remember the displays of the enema, the most terrible instrument of torture for me at the time...
