Have you ever had a bad enema?

Yes. I used water that too cool if not cold. The cramps it caused were awful.

I've heard that cool water enemas can be used as punishment. I've never tried it.

Kind of. One of the first times that I tried an 8oz bulb enema, I wasn’t careful and injured my anus. It bled a little for a few days but healed eventually. I only say kind of because I stopped immediately and never took the bulb. Lesson learned, it’s much easier when someone is helping.

Sorta, wife used too much water, soap, and pressure. Threw up while pooping.

CP and enemas

Definitely a punishment enema! I accept cramping to be a part of an enema, but they are usually not too intense. But cool/cold water? Never again. Luke warm on a hot summer day? Ok, beyond that, not for me.

I've had two mistakes - one was like Susie in post #145 - tobacco. I have no idea why thought that was a good idea. Another was a quart of mineral oil. I leaked oil like an old car for days. My biggest disappointment was my hospital lactulose enema. The GI team was desperate to get my bowels moving and brought out the big guns. I was expecting fireworks and got nothing.

I also tried a bottle of mineral oil once, leaked for days, NEVER AGAIN! 🙄

Oh yes, many times I've an enema that I considered “bad” - basically, this would be one of two types; one type is where something goes wrong with the equipment (hose comes off, bag falls off, etc.). The other type is where the enema just doesn't work right - not enough cramps, too slow to work, etc.

I have to say my last enema about a month ago was a bad one. I'd invested in some CleanStream tips on amazon (don't waste your money). I read the reviews and even though the reviews were bad, I thought they would be ok and maybe people were just being dramatic. When they came, they were smaller than I had imagined they would be. They were also very rough with burs from the molding process still on which took a while to clean up and get ready. I was hoping that the tips narrowing towards the flange would help them stay in place, but all but the widest one was just not large enough. That wide one was just too short and once inserted it basically disappeared inside which caused some momentary panic. Phrases like “I have no idea how that got in there Dr” ran through my mind, but luckily it came out easily enough. Never the less, easy to say the CleanStream kit was a none starter. Terrible design.

So, it was back to the tried an tested equipment. I made a relatively normal mix, 2 quarts of warm water with approximately one spoonful of Dr Bronners mint mixed in. Then I noticed that the bottom of my plastic mixing jug was wet….and getting wetter…..you guessed it, the seam had failed and it was leaking.

So I cleaned up and remixed in a different container. Now at this point, I'm not sure if I was just off the boil and no longer in the mood, just following through because “dammit that's what I wanted”, but when I lay down and inserted the tried and tested tip and tried to relax, my ability to take the enema was minimal to say the least. My body was instantly rebelled and just did not want to cooperate and I was leaking (worse than the jug) as I dived for the Toilet. I tried twice more and neither time could get my body to relax and accept the enema. Normally the first 2 quarts go in without much fuss, maybe a little cramping requiring a pause or two, but pretty much always get it in there without issue until this night. No position and no matter what, it just wasn't happening. I wasn't even constipated, just in a full state of refusal. Retrospectively, I should have broken out the DBC.

It was just a totally frustrating experience. I can only assume that I was just too frustrated and wound up when I tried to take it. I still get ticked off just thinking about it!

I've not had a bad enema (one that in some way was unexpectedly uncomfortable, embarrassing, or painful) but I have had some that were disappointing.

The most disappointing ones were when I could not take it all as planned, or were interrupted by unforeseen circumstances. Or just felt “blah” going in and coming out - those are the worst.

I was partying and having a good time taking multiple enemas . I felt in a very BDSM mood but made a homemade cocktail for my anal cavity that I knew would be punishing but The real thing was very close to anal torture. It really taught my anal cavity a good lesson.

All enemas of my childhood, with two exceptions, were bad.

The first enema I remember at about 6 years old was the worst. I didn't know what to expect and having mom put me over her knee, lube my butt and force very soapy water up there was terrifying. I had to hold it a long time and finally allowed to release. The second one, months later, was not as bad. Still too soapy but at least I knew what to expect. I started to enjoy the following ones and that started my infatuation desire for enemas.

I came home from the hospital after a week and was totally constipated. The hospital did nothing for me but a stool softener which did not work. The nurse came by the house 2 days later and left a fleet for me to self administer. It did not work. I tried a soap suds enema and it was awful. I barely made it to the toilet and i thought my guts were coming out of my ass. I ended up with a prolapsed rectum for a couple of days. A terrible experience.

I posted earlier about my first soapy enema from my Mom. Another "Bad" enema was the first (and only) Milk and Molasses enema I took. I mixed up maybe a pint of mixture total and took it. I thought my entire colon was going to come out of my Rectum!!! OMG!! I took repeated warm water rinse enemas to get the rest out! NEVER AGAIN!

Yes! So much gas that it’s painful. Getting stuck. Very little results. Ugghhh!!!

I hear not to do anything involving honey.

I keep trying, but no success so far

There are times that I'm not able to take a full 4qt or even a 2qt enema which I can't explain why nut I consider those experiences not good . I really enjoy a good deep fill to get that empty sensation . But at the end all enemas are great

Yes i have,one time mom gave me an ice water enema after i mouthed off to her about something and it hurt like hell! I never did that again!

My very first one as a kid was very bad traumatic. Hurtfull

I remember several strong soap suds enemas as a kid that produced alot of cramps. Difficult to hold
