OMG so embarassing buying enema equipment!

There is no need to feel embarrassed when buying enema equipment, whether you buy it to be used for medical or erotic enemas.

People should not be paying attention to what you are buying or how you will use it.

I have heard from so many people who wanted to buy enema bags and or bulbs and lubricants but were to embarrassed.

Well when I was selling books online several years ago I decided to list the enema bulbs and bags I had from different medical supply distributors.

It was amazing how many I sold. Price and shipping costs did not matter. They bought any brand, different sizes and even tubes of KY jelly, generic as well as brand name. And today so many people do not want to drive to the store, walk in and find the aisle where the enema bags are and then go to the register to buy it. Shopping online, the computer/internet has become easier and more convenient for many.

Even today still many people will not go into a store and purchase an enema bag.

And when I have time I will list what I have here for sale so anyone can save a trip to the store and not feel embarrassed.

I have never been embarrassed to purchase an enema syringe at the local pharmacy. These items are shelved and available for sale to the public.

It was a few years back that I purchased a douche / enema syringe which met my exacting specifications. The bag was of two quart capacity and was red in color. The douche/adult rectal pipes were threaded vs. slip on which is a must for me. The enema adult rectal pipe was of a uniform shape and was a bit longer in length than other competitor kits which were offered for sale on the same aisle.

All in all, I am a traditionalist/old school and a bit discriminating as to my fountain enema/douche syringe configuration which harkens back to our home enema syringe of the 1950's which was used often and used well by the demonstrated expertise of my mom.

When I made the above referenced purchase I included a small plastic jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly in addition to the new fountain syringe.

The matronly sales clerk at the checkout register just gave me a sweet but I think knowing smile and inquired if …… "would that be all Sir ???" "Yes " , was my reply. "I think I have everything I need here". She said sweetly and in a lowered voice …. "I think you do to!!!"

The transaction was made . I received my change. The purchase was bagged for privacy and pharmacy exit and I was on my way without a checkout counter blush or any embarrassment for sharing my purchased item in the presence of a lady sales assistant .

Online stores are such a big help in this.

Anyway, I usually pretend these supplies are for my grandmother and I don't know about that!

Usually I tried to find an empty shop hoping that nobody entered it.

While one ought to feel fine purchasing enema materials, it does somehow register in my mind as embarrassing, as if, the clerk has a mental image of what will happen to me. I find it really embarrassing when the counter help is a teenager! I am not sure most even comprehend what an enema is but I do cringe and may even avoid checking out. I am not sure if it is more distressing for a male or fem in this regard.

Curious question but so appropriate.

Nick,

I've done enemas, almost uniformly for sexual stimulation or just the pleasure of the enema sensations themselves, for >50 years and still love them at age 68. After a few years of "enema shopping embarrassment," I learned or perhaps trained myself to turn the tables and enjoy it. Now if I ever buy enema or other anorectal products in a brick and mortar store, I just go in and pick out my supplies and then take them to checkout with a very pleasant, relaxed attitude and outer demeanor. On the inside I'm thinking and feeling that I'm an adult who really enjoys enemas for both sexual and nonsexual sensations, so the store personnel or cashier can either be embarrassed or not and it's fun for me to see them ring up items while I'm obviously enjoying it. Makes it much more fun.

Back when I started buying my own enema equipment there was no online store so you just had to go to a drugstore and buy it. I usually went to a place away from the home neighborhood to reduce the chance of running into someone I knew. It got pretty easy, but one made me sweat.

I wanted a Faultless Bulb Douche Syringe, for the large nozzle. There weren't many people in the store and when I got to the register, the clerk was an older lady. As she picked up the box to check the price she looked at me and sort of scowled, as if to say, "What are you going to do with this?" But she said nothing as she put it into a paper bag. I paid her and got the hell out of there.

A long, long thread, which probably shows that most of us have a level of unease dealing with our fetish in stores. I have noticed that on the few occasions I have actually needed enema or suppository items actually with an actual medical order, the embarrassment goes away. I read somewhere that allowing sexual fetishes to "escape the mind" and become public can have unexpected consequences.

For me now, the embarrassment is part of the turn-on....

OzJohn,

I think you're exactly right that whatever my or your fetish(es) might be, presumably pretty much a secret we keep from most people in the world, they determine what we're sensitive about when dealing with the real world. Like going to buy enema supplies, especially bags and nozzles, so we're shy or embarrassed. I wrote below about finally being able to turn the tables on my own enema embarrassment and actually enjoy now going into brick and mortar stores to buy enema gear. It's actually fun, seeing if the cashier is going to be embarrassed or try to embarrass me.

Other examples for me are having both a serious rubber fetish and separate sneaker fetish and in the past being VERY self-conscious about 1) buying a very common almost mundane product, sneakers, because I was afraid they'd figure out I had the sneaker and/or rubber fetish. Or even worse, going into a SCUBA equipment store to look at (neoprene rubber) wetsuits for the same reasons. Now I just go to those places and enjoy shopping and handling and smelling the rubber and observe the cashiers without the slightest embarrassment. I guess age is good for something.

Now you can buy your enema equipment on line and no body will see. You can buy from optimal health, Amazon, Walmart etc.

Many years ago, I saw a Faultless kit like this in a display case in a drugstore in Seattle and really, really wanted it.

https://img.techpowerup.org/200502/faultless-20.jpg

So, one evening, I screwed up my courage and went in and asked the woman clerk for it.

She asked why I wanted it and I simply told her my girlfriend asked me to get it, paid, and left... my heart pounding.

I still have that lovely syringe in my collection. The girlfriend I met several years later loved it too!

@Sean, what the heck was it that clerk's business what you wanted that beautiful set for. I think I would have answered that query with a query like, "why do you ask"? It could have been the start of a very interesting conversation & maybe a pleasurable relationship.

@easy123

Well, I was in my mid 20s at the time. A more appropriate response might have been, "Is your daughter busy later?"

I was in the downtown of a strange city at the time, and pretty bashful..

Actually, several years later, I was able to use it on a girl friend while we were standing under the shower.

Her comment was, and I quote, "That nozzle sure is a trip". It was obvious she REALLY liked it!

IMO, it's one of the nicest bulb douches ever made. Both the nozzle and shield are nice and soft, noticeably softer than most every other bulb douche I've seen, and the surface finish is mirror like.

The hose on the enema nozzle is also a pretty good idea and is a real bonus for self-administered enemas. It can be conveniently used lying down and also unobtrusively if one needs a "little help" to poo while sitting on the toilet. OTOH it was likely not a hit because one really does not want possibly poopy water in one's bulb douche syringe. Sears sold the kit, called the "Elegante" by Faultless, in about 1970

I was never embarrassed when buying enema equipment, but now since life is so busy and it happened that pharmacy might not have required enema bag or bulb size, then I order on pharmacy website and when order is ready I collect it from the local branch. It is always packed so no one would be able to see what is inside.

When I got my drivers license at 15 I had to do the family shopping. My sister always had tampons on the list when I was alone. The first time the cashier held up the box of tampons and asked for a price check. I wanted to be a speck of dust.

Then, about 2 months later I was at the store again, saw my friends father with an extra large box of Kotex under his arm, nothing else. This was one of the toughest men I've ever known. He came up to me and said, "@hat's to be embarrassed about. It is for a normal body function."

After that it didn't bother me.

It's all a matter of what you were brought up with and what the attitude at the time was.

Today, if you talk about douches or enemas in other than a condescending manner- Oh, he's a real douche bag- you are probably considered a perv. On the other hand, all things sexual are perfectly OK in general conversation, including four-letter words that used to be extremely offensive.

In the 1950s, most everyone, adults and especially kids, got enemas. Moms took them, dads were given them occasionally, and many kids got them for need or because they seemed 'out of sorts' or as punishment. Some moms had neighbor women give them to their kids, and virtually every hospital visit included them. In fact I've read that at some hospitals the patients routinely got a large volume enema just before discharge.

Today, there are aisles in every drug store and super market selling things for "feminine hygiene" and "digestive health". Coyly named but tampons, douches, laxatives, and enemas. Only today the products are disposable. But they still serve the same functions. Is there any material difference between a vintage Davol Paris Fountain syringe and a Summer's Eve douche or Fleet enema? Both wash someone out in front and behind respectively.

Everyone has to poo and almost everyone sometimes has difficulty. Remember, the person looking at what you are buying only knows what it's for because they have bought and used it themselves in all likelihood. Also, that stunningly pretty cashier smiling at you was sitting on a potty, just like you, within the last day.

Most chain grocery stores and some drug stores down yonder here in Texas have multiple self check out stations. Nobody pays any attention to what you're buying. You scan the barcode insert your cash or debit card and off you go. All manner of embarrassing items can be purchased rapidly and discreetly without the funny looks from a $8/hr.clerk.

@Sean, what the heck was it that clerk's business what you wanted that beautiful set for. I think I would have answered that query with a query like, "why do you ask"?

I concur, Easy123! I shudder to think what my dad's reaction would be if he overheard a clerk asking such a question. In fact, I overheard him chastised a pharmacist for telling another one that a local high school girl purchased birth control pills.

OMG so embarrassing buying enema equipment!

Yes, and it was the rush created by that feeling that turned into an addiction I had where once I spotted enema bags being sold in a store, I would keep thinking abut buying them. This was long before there was an internet and online shopping. Back then, I could not pass up the chance of going into any new drug store I happened upon, looking to see what enema bags were being sold. Typically, the first time I went into a new store, I would simply scout out where the bags were located; but too chicken to buy. So I'd leave, but I couldn't get whatever enema equipment I had seen out of my mind and for the next days or weeks the thought of going back to buy kept running through my mind. I just needed to get the nerve to do so.

That's a old problem I remember well. Amazon eliminated that embarrassment 😃

My recent experience is that Amazon did NOT alleviate embarrassment.

I ordered an Inflatable plug nozzle a few weeks ago. I ended up having to leave out of town for an emergency, so I called an older sister (mid 20s) of one of my daughter’s friends to check on the dogs as she always does. I told her I was expecting a package that day and to just put it on the coffee table.

When I came home, on our coffee table plain as day, INFLATABLE EXPANDING ENEMA PLUG NOZZLE…with a very simple shipping sticker on the back. That was horrible. I sent a simple text, like Amazon lack of discretion, so sorry for any embarrassment, and graciously asked for confidence and gave her $20 more through cash app 😆 she was really sweet, quaint and gracious thankfully

Wow! That is the most embarrassing things I've heard. 😮

Honestly? I wouldn’t concern yourself with embarrassment. It’s okay to enjoy what you enjoy, and you never know who else might understand. I’ve had many conversations with peers…I’m into alot, but I always find common ground.

Next time when you check out of Amazon, request discrete packaging in the notes section.

@RagnarokJones Have you spoken with the older sister of your daughters friend who picked up the package since then? Any reaction or feedback?

I wouldn't want a coworker or neighbor to see a big tube of Astroglide or a pack of Fleets in my shopping cart. But I have no problem with strangers or clerks seeing them. So I just buy those things when I'm shopping outside of my small town.

Today I wouldn't have a problem with that, used to be uncomfortable or embarrassing as a beginner.

I am old enough to remember the days before the internet and ordering from Amazon and the like. Of course, there was Sears and Wards mail order for these things but most of us went to the local drugstore.

As a young adult woman shopping for my own enema equipment the embarrassment of shopping in a local drugstore was quite low. Drugstores in the day had a pretty good selection of enema/douche bags, bulbs, and related items. It was not unusual for a woman to buy one of these items at the local store, and I guess a woman buying these things would not be as embarrassing as a man buying them.

I could see where it would be a lot more difficult for a man to take an enema/douche bag to the clerk at the counter. Now, buying my first vibrator and butt plug in person at an "Adult Toy Store" was certainly embarrassing considering the clerk was a middle-age man who was looking me over pretty good.

I know, last enema bag I purchased was from Walmart. (it was out of town) so I didn't run into anybody I knew. Although there are some girls at work I always would like to know if they do enemas. But, will never ask at work. When I need lube for my nozzles and toys, I go to the local drug store. Lube is the only thing I need, so I'm standing there in line with it in my hand, I know anybody that looks knows what it is. Makes me wonder, are they thinking, is it for his girl to take it up the butt, or is for something to go up his butt? Same for the person that checks me out. They ask if I want a bag, I say no, save a bag and walk out out the store for all to see. (and wonder) 😃 It does turn me on a little, because I KNOW what's going up my butt.

Have bought many 8 oz adult enema syringes at local drugstore snd always go to a male checker. Always waiting for a smile and asking about it to which I would have asked if he would like me to show him howit works and feels.
