Have you ever had a bad enema?

My new lady-doctor just wrote a referral for me to go to the local hospital for my first ever Double Contrast Barium Enema,and I've been reading everything I can find on the subject.Its been a fantasy of mine for a long time,and I thought I knew everything about them, until I discovered an additive the radiologists use in cleansing enemas before the actual Barium Enema. it is Bisacodyl Tannex, or 'Clysodrast'. its listed as a contact irratant, used to boost the effectiveness of the prep enemas. since I never heard of it, I would like as much feedback from members of this site about this additive.

Clystodrast is basicly nothing more that Dulcolax in an enema. It will produce a very through evacuation without delay. Not painful but produces a very strong urge to evacuate.

One particular enema that I would consider "bad" was about 6 mos ago I thought while i was retaining I would go to the laundry room and switch clothes from washer to the dryer, no problem right only about 30 or 40 ft away. As I was bending to throw clothes in the dryer , Kaboom!!!!!!! let loose and started running for the commode and left a trail from the laundry across the living room and on into the bathroom. Spent the next hour and a half cleaning , that will learn me ...Other than that all enemas are good.

Yes, One that just refused to come out. You don't know what to do or how far you can be from the bathroom.

Yes about 3 years ago...was with a retention tip and my friend ran in 2 quarts tooooo fast....was painful had to release it right away..

When I first started giving them to myself, I forgot to let the air out of the tube. I guess it wasn't a horrible enema, but it wasn't the most comfortable, due to the cramps.

Never had a BAD enema. Some are better than others and some are more fun. Some interesting comments about retained solution. Personally, I have never had that happen. I have played with a couple of women, and they have had that occur during our play enema sessions. Once put 4+ quarts into her and nothing would come back out. She tried for over a 1/2 hour. While I was massaging her LLQ, she had on orgasm without genital contact and released all of the enema at once. Really amazing to watch. Is unwanted retnetion more of a female thing?

Sometimes it just doesn't work right, and I don't know why. Usually it's because I can tell I haven't expelled nearly enough so you are always apprehensive about how far you can venture from a toilet, or someone comes to the door and you panic when you start to feel the immediate urge. Sometimes I feel like it didn't clean me out, which doesn't make any sense. Most of the time though I feel wonderful afterwords.

Not really. But one time I was concerned that a lot less came out than went in (and feared I may have punctured my colon) -- but I was fine, and back at it the next day.

No I have always have been given a warm and tender enema from my mother, uncle with love. I was given enemas when I was sick and became addicted to enemas. I love anal stimulation.

Good to say I have never had a "bad" enema. I don't like enemas that will cramp so mine are all slowly taken. My RN mom and RN auntie gave me those kind and both trained me how to administer to myself (and others) pleasurable non-cramping warm SS and tap water enemas, nice to say

Yelp..just had one took 90 minutes to clean the bathroom up, kinda poor start for the week, but it leave plenty of room for improvement lol

If I ever had a bad enema I surely don't remember it. I assume all the enemas I have had over the years have all been enjoyable enemas. I know I always look forward to enmas now.

If something breaks like the hook or the hose comes off the bag it can make for a bad experience!

No, love the long nozzle as it slides up my butt, and the feeling of warm water filling me thinking how nice that would be in a girls butt.

I took a green tea enema once - I don't recommend it. It made me feel very, very strange, kind of woozy and dizzy and uncoordinated. After expelling I drifted off to sleep for about 4 hours without realizing it. I'm guessing there is some active drug (other than caffeine - it didn't feel like caffeine) in green tea which is either normally inactivated by e.g. stomach acid, or normally in much smaller doses (I steeped 10 teaspoons of green tea for about 30 min in hot water which was then diluted to body temperature - so quite a lot of quite strong tea). The same trick with peppermint tea on the other hand is lovely.

I also dropped an open top bag once - that was a bad enema-that-never-happens I guess (I ran out of time after cleaning up the flood)!

Yes, occasionally have had one that made me feel a bit unwell after, possibly trying to overdo it, quantity wise.

Also found that too much soap can upset me.

Did once arrive late for an enema from a professional lady, all ended up too hurried, and after I left her house I found that I still had some left in me, that wanted out, NOW !

But generally most enemas are good, have been doing it regularly for 40 plus years.

Yes, sometimes when I seek too much sensation, sometimes due to what might be called operator error. An example of the latter is when a "pro" gave me and enema with "ever so much soap"--I still remember the quote, which was delivered with an English accent. It must have been 8 oz of Dr. Bonner's in a 2 qt bag. I felt awful almost immediately. I craved a rinse but she was too upset and our session ended. I missed work the next day. She was so upset that she got out of the business! Poor girl, she really had potential-- just got overenthusiastic.

Broken bag with water everywhere or loose connections so carpeting gets quite wet

I went in for surgery a few years ago and I got one of those 3H enemas from a nurse who must have been near the end of her shift. She must have had a bad day and wanted to get the hell out of there and hurried it up and went way to fast. I thought my eyes were going to wash out or the enema come out of my ears. I'm not into cramps at all and so that enema was definitely in the minus column.

The only bad one I can recall is when I tried a beer enema maybe 40 years ago. It was awful. From then on I take my alcohol orally and my soapy water anally.

Gibby, I have to confess that you lived out one of my enema fantasies. Want to get a 3H enema, 'my first enema', from a no nonsense nurse in the hospital who is near the end of her shift, impatient, flustered and can't wait to get it over with. I'm just a big wimp male (I know you are female). She is so disgusted to have to be the nurse that has to give me an enema and it's just too bad that she gives me cramps. But, she does get some gratification out of giving this big wimp his first enema.

Thanks for sharing your story.

There can't possibly be such a thing as a bad enema...can there? Some are just not as good as others. Some may leave you wondering WTF?...over. How anyone gets much enjoyment out of the old M&M enema, i'll never understand. Butt, in any case, an enema is still a wonderful thing in it's own way.

I once tried a phospho soda enema. I was only able to hold it a few minutes and it burned a lot! i had to refill the bottle with water several times to stop the burning. Never again!

Mostly they revolve around accidents and bad results for unknown reasons, or being interrupted and not knowing if you can expell without being disicoverred.

Well- my first self- given "real" enema almost was my last.

I'd discovered anal stuff felt good. age 11- I "borrowed" mom's douche bag and sort of had just enough but not enough information that time.

Filled the bag. no problem- hung it from the showerhead- so far ok for standing in the shower as plan was going.

Except- the bag was filled with ice cold tap water and I'd not let the air out of the hose before inserting that scary sexy nozzle into me. Popped the clamp and thought I was dying, going straight to hell except hell was all in my rapidly expanding belly's cramping against itself. from the mix of air- cold water and my chronically constipated mass of crap.

Yeah- arguably "bad" in some ways. but- memories are weirdly bittersweet of suchlike.

Sigh, I may be delayed in getting out of the house today, as replicating that ride takes a while for psyching myself up/moments to to the deed and a while more for recovery to say little of late returns. .

Apart from ghastly equipment failures (joints in hoses that leak or come apart completely when I am on my back!) I think the worst was at a time I was suffering from acute fibrositis. This is where your back and neck muscles screw themselves into painful knots; and it makes it hard to sleep. Of course there is lots you can do about it, from massage (painful) to hot rubs (nice) or muscle relaxant tablets. These are usually sold with names that suggest muscle spasm pain cures: and they really work, too!

But don't take them before your enema, even if its an irritating one like soap suds. The drug works even better on the muscles of the colon than on your back! The enema goes in just fine; and if retention is your kick, then you are A for away! That enema isn't coming out any time soon. Even with serious efforts on my part to move things on, it took over an hour to get the wretched stuff out of me. And it involved repetitive bending and straightening, with continuous stomach massage and bearing down. It was exhausting! And the worst of it was that it took me four or five such horrors before my slow brain caught up with what was going on!

So if you have to take these, do it AFTER you expel. Much nicer!

Watch the soap level with Dr. Bronners. Too much -more than a singe squirt in my case- and I get nauseous. Not fun

Twist

On the subject of Dr. Bronners soap both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods sell this soap. Are there a lot of enema takers around here? We do have a lot of organic natural types in this area and some alternative health books do suggest enemas and not Fleets as a good thing. Does any one use Bronner's for anything else?

I agree about being careful how much Dr. Bonner's soap you put in your enema. A small change in the about of soap can be a disaster!!! I usually use 1 1/2 teaspoons of soap in a 2 quart bag. I decided to try 2 teaspoons and it was terrible. I could hardly hold a half bag. If I ever get a balloon catheter I will try the two teaspoon again.but I know it will be a very cramping enema and I will need a couple of good rinses.
