Have you ever had a bad enema?

NEVER use anything like Dawn.

It is DETERGENT -- and a very strong one --It isn't soap.

NEVER USE ANY DISH DETERGENT/SOAP or Laundry detergent/soap either.

I've seen several suggestions for Palmolive. The only thing I can think of is that the old Palmolive soap (which was before I came around) was used for enemas, then the Palmolive detergent was introduced and happened to be the same name and same color, so some people thought they were the same.

The only detergent I have heard of that is safe is docusate. In the "recommended" dosages it kicks ass and is STRONG.

Since I hate them every one I ever got was the worst. I sure love to give them though and am with Susie in saying that plain water is usually sufficient and any soap should be used with caution. Dawn Dish soap is never to be used and you can really irritate the inside of your colon. Be safe people

Yes I have, several times. For whatever reason, occassionally my colon will not coorperate. It does not happen often, but the bad enema is a wet disaster. The solution stops flowing in and begins to uncontrollably leak out. Not sure if it is caused by gas pockets or muscle spasms since I do not notice anything different. Usually the next enema session goes fine.

Two absolutely HORRIBLE enema experiences:

I did the second one of those (tobacco) too once up on a time, except instead of snuff I unrolled a couple cigarettes and made a kind of "tea" using an old drip coffee maker. Same results, same permanent "never again" list status. It was a terrible idea.

Yeah, dish soap wasnt my idea, just my hinnie!!!! And l can PROMISE YOU, NEVER again!!!!

When the hose comes off on either end,or someone comes home while doing enemas

I’ve had several bad enemas which resulted in sweating, faintness, nausea, and they seemed to take forever to expel. I felt so crappy I’d lay down on the bed, but no sooner did so that I had to race back to the toilet to go again. Retention of any rinse enemas to try to neutralize the effects was next to impossible. It usually became a running rinse over the toilet or in the shower with retention time measured is seconds until enough water was taken to neutralize the problem. These bad enemas were brought about by using Castile or Ivory soap in doses that are typically normal according for other Zity members. They were no fun and I try to avoid them now by not using soap.

That's why you should always work enemas up from smaller quantities of weaker solution until you find out what your body likes.

Moliere, agreed. I found out my body prefers Epsom salt and glycerine for the clean out, and baking soda and salt for the rinse. I'm skipping the soap totally!

When I first started doing them, long before I found zity and learned better tricks, I had a few unpleasant ones. It wasn’t really even a kink then, it was strictly for constipation due to nerve damage. The fact that it occasionally felt good was just a perk. The occasional combination of too hot or too soapy or hung too high or in too fast, or whatever, but a few times I made myself supremely nauseated and felt awful and bloated for the rest of the day or evening. One day a quick google for enema tips and I ended up here. I didn’t join for along time time though.

Since being here though, I’ve had one “memorable” bad one. I’d splurged on a new bar of soap at the store to make soap suds, soaked it in hot water for a while, got the water good and milky. It was a bar soap made for babies so I assumed it would be mild, like the liquid baby soap I’ve used in the past but it had a nicer smell than baby bath. But even if it’s not as mild, I’ll just rinse it with clear water a few times, right? Slowly gave myself 2qts but noticed right away that my body was fighting it. It was strong and fairly uncomfortable. I shifted on the floor this way and that trying to get the whole bag in. I’m cramping, I’m sweating a little, I’m making silent arguments with myself about trying to get the whole bag in or giving up and just expelling. I try to convince myself there’s some honor in finishing the bag. Suddenly, my phone starts blowing up. It’s a friend, a mutual friend is in the hospital and needs someone there right away, I’m closest, can I go? I agree and run for the toilet. I expel as much as I can but for as difficult it was going in, it did not want to come out! I clean up the bathroom in a hurry, throw the not quite empty bags as is under the sink, run for the toilet, grab some clothes, run for the toilet, put my shoes on, make one more dash for the toilet, then race to the hospital. Then I sat there for HOURS with my friend (who is fine now) with my belly aching and my asshole on fire from this awful soap that desperately needed rinsing out! I got home around 4am and even thought I was practically sleep walking, I managed 2 decent plain water rinses before I fell into bed and woke up feeling fine!

I don't know that I have ever had a bad enema, but I never use soap or anything but 1 tsp salt/qt water to keep my electrolytes in balance. OK now I remember a wine enema. It was devoid of the nice relaxing effects of a couple of glasses of wine, but provided a nasty hangover the next day. No more of that.

I certainly have had enema mishaps of leaking, or hoses becoming unattached.

Yes. The ones my dad gave me growing up were miserable.

The one my step dad gave me was horrible (biggest tube I've ever seen) and the mix he used was just to hurt me.

I messed my own up a few times, adding to much soap etc. The worst thing I ever did was shove a soap bar up there and then fill myself up with water. It was a good size bar too. I knew it was going to be hard so I made my husband hold me down. He didn't give up and let me release for half an hour (the amount of time we'd agreed on) I thought I was going to die.

THe worst enema I have ever had was my first one given to me in a play setting. THe water was very cold and it was run in very fast and there was a lot of it. I will never forget it. That's why I still don't care for them.

I got Enemas as a young child and they always hurt. And I don't mean "hey this is kind of uncomfortable". I mean pain. Now if they don't hurt I don't like it. Of course, I always get off from them.

I've had my share of horrible enemas. I have a kink about sharing them and listening to other's people's stories. I really love when the person I'm talking to gets off on it. I love that my pain is giving them pleasure. I would give myself a terrible enema on purpose just to be able to share the story. If you want to share stories hit me up. Anyone else into this? I'd love to keep a minute by minute diary and share it with an enema buddy.

I guess my "worst" if you want to call it that was just a couple of years ago, I was taking a 3-qt soapsuds enema Must have been the third of the session. I used a flexible 5-inc "mushroom" type nozzle. I ALWAYS check before I start an make sire the nozzle is all the way on. Unfortunately the barbs in that nozzle are not very deep.

I was retaining and was about 10 minute in to a 15 minute retention. My rectum "pulsed" no problem, happens a lot. THIS TIME wouldn't you know, the nozzle detached from the bag and went right up inside. At first I panicked, then when I got calmed down I remembered, "Hey I haven't had that Bisacodyl "kick in" yet. I HA taken 30mg oral bisacodyl before I started the enema and that had been some 3-1/2 hour before!

Right then it kicked in!!! there was no more holding much of anything least of all a 3-qt soapsuds enema! The expulsion blew out what felt like solid poop but that was impossible given that there had already been an Epsom Salt and soapsuds and when it was fully or almost fully out a soapsuds enema without rinsing the bag in between

I had to reach into the gross brown water and retrieve that nozzle!!!!

That is the "Worst:" enema I have had since I was a teenager and tried to take one behind Dad's back on one of those days that was a regular work day for him but was a school holiday.

I had something in my stomach and I tried to take a magnesium citrate between rounds of 2-qt enemas. Threw up the Magnesium Citrate!

If you take enough enemas, sooner or later you will have a bad one. Maybe it is a spilled bag, hose comes off, or cramps so strong you leak it all the way to the toilet because you can't hold it. Eventually it will happen.

Kind of like asking if someone ever had a bad blow job. Can't say I ever had a bad one in either case but some have been more memorable than others! :-)

I cannot say that I've ever had a bad enema. I'm not saying that I haven't ever spilt a bag, or the nozzle has slipped out, or I've leaked on the way to the toilet. A few have been pretty rough to endure. Some have been a disappointment. But mostly, they've all been enjoyable.

@Cheryl77177 With anything in life especially enemas spilling a bag can happen. That's my only pet peeve about open top bags the fact they can spill easily.

Well I might have something for that. Maybe some practice enemas with vibration.

Yes I have and it wasone to remember. Long story short I requested an older female nurse, instead they gave me a young beautiful and peppy nurse. She filled me up and I couldn't make it to the commode she had set up. Instead, I had an accident and I went right there all over the exam table. I never showed my face at the hospital again. I'm pretty sure they still tell stories about me to this day

She probably doesn't even remember you. They do that all day long every day and you were just another face in the crowd. Accidents happen all the time too. They take it in stride..

I suppose over the years ive had bad enemas, several times different parts of the hose or tap or colon tube have parted company ,sending soapy water everywhere, though luckily very little poopy soapy water, i stopped that pretty fast.

Many years ago a woman was giving me a large enema and i started to feel dizzy and sick, so she stopped to give me a cup of tea, then we carried on.

Had equipment issues or the rare incident that needed some unpleasant clean up, nearly been caught and embarrassed, and if you are actually sick for real and not playing around nothing is much fun in that moment.. Also rushed enemas are not very enjoyable but all in all just about any enema is a good enema.

The worst enema I ever had included lemon juice. If I ever try that again I will be very careful with the dose...

Amen! My very worse enema, that I ever took, involved an enema with lemon juice in it. Soon after it was injected into my rectum and colon, I started sweating, became very nauseated, and cramped in ways you just wouldn't believe. To get some relief, I had to crawl into an ice cold bath and sponge cold water onto my face. My gosh that scene went on for almost an hour. No doubt, an enema involving lemon juice or lemon juice concentrate in it is not in my future and if I can avoid it I will!

As my Mother once said about enemas. "Mike, the only enema I ever had in my life occurred right before I had you. And I want you to know one thing, if someone ever tries to give me another, they had better be real fast on their feet or they will not catch me!"

By the way, Mom went on to look me in the eye and say "Mike, for the life of me, I just do not understand how in the world you enjoy me giving you those things!"

One thing for certain, though, if my Mom had started me out on a lemon juice enema, I would not be doing them now! I am so glad that my Mother didn't!

Absolute worse enema was a warm olive oil one I did maybe 30 years ago. Pure olive oil warmed in a pot and put into a 2 quart bag. Felt great going in. Flowed slowly and warmed my tummy and just felt good inside. Easily retained for maybe 20 minutes, then all hell broke loose. Started expulsions from both ends. Out the butt wasn't so bad, just messy and slick like you would believe, but out the mouth was miserable. First the watering mouth, then stomach contents. A temporary reprieve. Then mouth watering again followed by green stomach fluid and dry heaves. This went on for maybe 30 minutes. It was pure hell. At the time my apartment only had a shower stall, so my legs and ass in the shower and head over the toilet. The clean up was a mess too. Olive oil doesn't just wash away. Dish washing liquid followed by cleansing power eventually did the trick but a lesson learned.

I was using the plastic douche nozzle not too long and think I must have scratched myself as things got a little bloody, just enough to scare me so I backed off of it for awhile. I now have a nice silicon nozzle in my collection.
