Tips for enema newbies

Also, petroleum lubricants (Vaseline-type) should not be used because they can damage the liver.

That's definitely NOT TRUE.

Vaseline and mineral oils are very long chain hydrocarbons.

They aren't gasoline/kerosene or fuel oils that will damage your liver.

You'd have to eat tons of Vaseline to get any liver damage.

Vaseline's very long chain hydrocarbons make for very long chains of hydro-anal fun! Devoted fan here.

The best tip I feel I can offer is : TAKE YOUR TIME & ENJOY YOUR ENEMAS!

Granted we all are in a Hurry Up and Get It Done Time Frame!

HOWEVER, If you are going to hurry and miss the pleasure of taking an enema or a series of them, WAIT until you have the time. Make a plan!

1). WHERE in your home will you give yourself or be given an enema? most people begin in the bathroom or VERY NEAR it! BE COMFORTABLE! Eventually, you may find yourself giving yourself a nice warm, gallon bag enema lying on your bed with towels, a pillow under your head, and listening to your favorite music.

2). WHAT KIND- just what it says: Soap Suds, Plain Warm Water, COFFEE? There are TONS of other suggested combos of suggested solutions….TRY a different one often which can REALLY Increase your satisfaction

3). How many is the goal this time? Stuck on 2 and 1/2? TRY for 3 full 2 qt. bags full or ONE GALLON ONE

4). NUDE OR NOT? Staying WARM during the process can enhance the experience even more. Most guys USUALLY go nude, easier to handle everything….lol

5). How long am I going to hold this one? Last time was 4 mins. Today I am going for 15 for my first, and the more you take, the cleaner you are, the easier to hold for longer periods each time.

6). BE PREPARED! Have EVERYTHING you want near you! Keep your lube, tissues, toys, etc on a towel next to you on the floor, or on the bed, you can roll it up, and out of site in case there is an unexpected reason to have to stop. If you have to stop and find something you enjoy, a magazine you like to read while holding the water, or the remote control to watch an Enema Video, You are ready.

7). ANOTHER BAG! If you have worked your way up to taking a full 2 Qt. bag, and want to add more water, have another bag FILLED, and READY to click on. Just slowly insert another tube lubed and ready. Click on, breath deep and enjoy! Have a plan for when finished as well. CLAMP OFF ALL HOSES so if you take the tubes out, no water continues on the floor or bed. Put everything your have inserted into a tub, fill with water, and clean well. Some people use Clorox to sanitize the nozzles. Rise well, hang to dry and you are ready for your next enjoyable Enema session!

As obvious as it may seem: have a toilet nearby. Really.

You would be surprised by how many enema novices have small or big accidents.

See siliconenozzles.com

The safety tips are important... alcohol is probably better drunk after the enema, too hot can injure, etc.

Two tips: first, buy yourself a larger bag. With respect to enemas, full is your friend. It may be years before you take the full bag, but soap and water are cheap. Second, get yourself a retention nozzle. I like the inflatables, but the hard plastic ones will do the job. When you're not worried about making a mess, you can lay back, relax, and have a much better time!

..first, buy yourself a larger bag. With respect to enemas, full is your friend. It may be years before you take the full bag, but soap and water are cheap.

The larger bags are easier to clean and dry as well. Additional bonus - you can mix up a full bag and have 2 enemas on tap without having to refill. Make sure you will stop when you're full, though, and not try and tough it out, as too much water leads to an unpleasant expulsion in me.

Hold it as long as you can , and for cleaning, O let mine drain out into the tub or shower.

Everyone is different in terms of how much they can tolerate when filling up. Also, your tolerance will increase with practice. The key is to run the enema in slowly to minimize cramping. If the discomfort persists, you should stop for a minute or 2. It should be a pleasant experience, not an ordeal.

You should be careful if there is a history of inflammatory bowel disease or diverticulosis. Conditions such as these can make you more susceptible to a perforation, which is a medical/surgical emergency, so STOP at the slightest discomfort and wait to see if it settles.

Soap suds will cause cramping more than plain water, and the temperature of the water plays a role here too.

You will find that after the first enema the second one will be easier to take because there is more room in your colon the second time.

It is important to find a time and place where you won't be interrupted. This helps avoid cramping and accidents. It also gives you time to explore the sensations if you are into enemas for erotic purposes.

If you have a partner who is also into enemas and is willing to administer one you are indeed fortunate!

Ok , so I've never thought of enema before or had one .

But you guys are making me think it's something I should try at least once in my life .

what do I do ? Do I have to go out and buy stuff ? I'm kinda excited to try .

I'm very open minded and so surprised to see how many use this .

So educated and coach me please !

Let me be your little enema protoge HAHAHA .

Yes, you need to buy something(s). You need either a fountain syringe (enema bag, or an enema or douche bulb. Neither is terribly expensive, and both are available in pharmacies (chemists). You should probably start with a bag, as bulbs are a bit harder to use solo, although if you enjoy anal insertions, the douche bulb is fun. You need a mild soap, and a liquid castille works well. Mix about 20 ml of the soap in 1 or 2 liters of water at +/- 35 C. Add to your bag. Lube your anus and the nozzle Hang the bag with the bottom about 1/2 - 3/4 meter above your body, lie down on your left side, insert the nozzle, and enjoy!

You are in a great place to learn all about them. Your general question is covered thoroughly throughout this part of the forum, so the better approach is to spend time reading in other threads and ask specific questions in them. That way you'll get answers that address your concerns more closely.

Maybe you are curious but I would read the forum and get a feel for all the reasons why the members here on zity do enemas. The reasons do vary- pleasure (sexual, relaxation), role play (medfet, age play, BSDM), health/medical conditions (constipation, toxin cleansing), or anal rinsing (getting ready for anal play). There are probably more reasons but these cover most. Each of these topic areas are extensively covered in various threads throughout the enema section.

You can get basic enema equipment at retail drug stores but I would recommend doing some online shopping. The equipment choices are much better and really not much more expensive than the stuff at the national chains. I think the stuff in drug stores really doesn't compare to the higher quality equipment you can get online.

The world of enemas is bigger than you might imagine. You have definitely come to the right place on the web if you want to learn what they are all about.

Keep us posted on your enema adventures. I think you will find the members here to be friendly and willing to answer your questions and provide excellent advice based on years of experience.

Unless you know you deal well/like cramps I wouldn't start with 20mL of castile in 2 L of water - that's going to get an intestinal reaction and likely cramps.

I'd start with 500mL - 1L of warm water (39-40 C) with 9gm of salt per liter, or maybe a mix of half salt half baking soda. That will be much more soothing to your colon. Once you get started you can try stronger solutions or larger amounts. This is assuming that you have ordinary bowel function and are not constipated.

Also use a rounded tip nozzle with plenty of lube and don't force it. Intestinal perforations from hard enema tips are one of the more common enema-related injuries, and being careful dramatically drops your risk. I've heard good things about the douche nozzle, though I haven't tried it. My setup came with a soft rounded tube (colon tube) that I used inserted a couple of inches in the rectum. Make sure you have a soft place to lie down and that the bathroom and wherever you're taking your enema is warm (I'd recommend the bathroom on some towels because the toilet is right there). Make sure your enema tube is clamped off and you have a secure place to hang the bag. Even if you have a partner you would like to bring in you might want to do the first few on your own, as they can be awkward until you figure them out and the rush to the toilet might not be what you consider dignified, but then again I've heard that a partner who knows how to give an enema helps a lot if you don't know. Make your own choice here.

If you're primarily interested in enemas for sexual stimulation then play up that aspect. Masturbate a little, then get everything ready. Take the position you want to have your enema in (I'd recommend Sims or on your back because you can relax better). Make sure the hose clamp is handy. Masturbate some more, lube up and spend plenty of time rubbing around your anus and genitals. Enjoy the feelings. Slide a finger in your anus if you feel like it, enjoy the feelings, then put the tube in. Focus on the feelings and let the water flow in nice and slow, touching yourself as you see fit. Focus on the sensations and slow or stop the water when you feel like it.

I haven't been comfortable enough to do all of these together, but the parts I've done on their own do make the enema more comfortable and sensual, so I think I'd try them all together. Maybe someday.

If you never had an enema before start with

1 quart of PLAIN WARM WATER given slowly lying on your back so you can relax.

PERIOD.

Any chemicals you put into the solution will be another variable your body will react to in some way

There are very good tips to start with enemas, but I would like to give importance to the height between the tank / bag and our body, low height, can cause the water not to enter. As initial height I recommend 50cm between the bag / tank and our body, from that height may need small adjustments according to the day.

I was lucky to have a wife who insisted on me having enemas but started me off slow and gentle with small volumes from a bag. In the beginning she was very careful to lubricate me well. She would use KY even on the inside of my rectum. She gave me my very first enema from a fleet bag that had about one quart of tap water. From there she increased volume at a pace I could handle.

Sniff inside the empty bag after it has dried. If the air is clean and fresh, you are good to go (pun intended). But hey, if you smell chemical residues from its rubber construction, or other foul odors, it is not safe. Some people might lay their happy bag on the bed with a nice nozzle snug inside. This allows for a return drain from internal pressures. Kind of fun, but must be followed up with maybe hot vinegar &/or water and dish soap.. To clean you special gift of its impurities.

When i bought one from Walmart, i discovered it was made in China and stank terribly of chemical residues. I tried to clear it of the stink, but eventually just threw it out.

Now i am a siphon fan and use plastic gallon water bottles. I just throw them away at will, no problem. I like to use a very heavy S hook, because a gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds! I never take a whole gallon all at once, but often go through a gallon per treatment.

Take your time on your first one. If you rush it or take to much you can turn yourself off to them forever. For your first bag just buy one from your local drug store. Mainly because if you don’t like it your only out 20 dollars or less and also. Warm water not hot and don’t be afraid to put some lotion on your inner but cheeks. You can sometime get a rash from the expelling

A small nozzle from a specialty web site would be a good idea. The drug store variety tend to have some sharp edges. Although, if you were comfortable with it the douche nozzle would be very usable.

I don't know if the publishing of the name of a very well known on line merchandiser would be OK. but take a look at these:AUSSIE HEALTH CO Enema Nozzle Tips (Box Of 10) - BPA/Phthalates Free, Flexible, Soft and Comfortable PVC. $19.00 for the ten.

Any good blowup nozzles under $40 to help hold the enama in?

I've heard the EZ-EM barium type that you can get from Optimal Health works pretty well. Beyond that you're best saving up and getting one of the Rusch ones from Medtech3000, as I've heard.

The CleanStream silicone ones that you see have an internal balloon that is too big and don't last very well.

With my 'travel kit', I include a small piece of rope with several loops in it so the bag height can be adjusted as you never know what the hotel bathroom will be like. Also, too much pressure, Ie height is bad. One foot of water = 0.43 psi, so just one psi can fill you up!

There is a fair number of enema videos on YouTube, andnfor demonstrations i'd look there. If you don't want those videos in your history, go to hooktube.com and watch from there.

Everyone's advice is good, so read it all and then watch a couple videos. For the most part, the porn variety of videos is pretty unrealistic, so be cautious with those.

Everyone here has given excellent newbie enema advice plz slow and low hanging bag will give a great starting point and if you have pain stop good luck happy enemas

Try to hold as long as you can, at least 10 minutes

I just gave myself my first enema today, it was a good experience. Made me a little light headed when Inwas done, but I believe I read that, that can happen. Looking forward to another one. How often is safe to do them?

My rule of thumb is no more than twice a week. Use 1 tablespoon of salt per quart next time and it will ease the light headedness. You are absorbing too much water. Try it, it works!
