Tips for enema newbies

When I first began doing solo enemas for fun, I had many of the same questions you have. The dsvice here is good but you will need to be moderate and try a few things slowly until you know your body better. I do not like cramps (many do) but enjoy the insertions (anal erotic ) so I often use 2 bulbs to clean my rectum first, then go for 2 qts from the bag. You can control the flow by hanging the bag low or using the clamp to restrict the flow. If you hang the bag no higher than 2 feet above your anus, you won't hurt yourself. Also, be careful with the mixture. I once tried "soft soap" which turned out to be detergent and got awful cramps and had to do emergency rinses. Water and sea salt are the safest to use. If you relate your experiences as you learn all the rest can benefit from that. Bottoms Up and have fun,

Having posted your question just over a week ago, I assume you are still in enemas-101, learning and experimenting with basic equipment and just plain water. Those that have responded to your inquiry have given you good and safe information. I've had a relation with the syringe for over 50 years and find the basics quite satisfactory. Here are my recommendations:

1. Go ahead and lie down. The bed is much more comfortable than the bathtub, toilet or bathroom floor.

2. Place a towel on the bed where your buttocks will rest for the procedure.

3. Lay on your left side, raising your right knee slightly up so your knee is in line with your crotch.

4. Slowly work the well lubed nozzle into your behind and release the clamp...slowly at first to get used to the flow pressure as it increases. Release the clamp entirely and breathe normal. As you fill you will feel the pressure mounting. It isn't a contest to see how much you can hold, but a self-regulated application. When you feel you've had enough...stop by closing the clamp.

5. As you slowly remove the nozzle, tighten your sphincter muscle at the same time. It should be a natural reaction.

6. I always keep a few tissues next to me on the bed that I can use to cover the moist nozzle and that I can place between my butt cheeks before I move from bed to toilet. This helps to avoid soiling the floor.

7. As you sit to expel, let the flow go without much applied pressure at first. AS the fluid goes from gush to trickle, then help your bowels by applying pressure until you feel you have eliminated most or all of the water and fecal matter.

8. You should have a satisfying elimination. One with minimal muss and fuss.

The most important aspect of enjoying enema's is to find a many different venues as you can.Once you have found the right place that suits your enjoyment, stick with that person and or clinic.

Never get in a hurry. Never take in more solution than you are use to.

Never insert the nozzle in deeper than you are comfortable with. Never

use solutions that could be dangerous.

An enema should be enjoyable and relaxing. Take your time and experiment

how much solution you can take and what can of solution you like.

ENEMAS ARE GREAT

Dove, begins with two quarts of not very hot water. first one in a put to bed position, put on your buttocks a pillow, much lubricant of water and it introduces the stem very slowly, breathing in alternate form, then she/he opens the key and it allows to penetrate the water smoothly. If you had cramps, she/he closes the key and she/he begins to give you massages, without getting scared. Immediately the cramps cease and you proceed to continue with the enema until the recipient is empty. After expelling all your sludges, you proceed to the other liter. After a lot of practice you will be a real nurse. If you had a couple that can make it, better. Never to give an enema when there are abdominal pains.

A hug and good luck.

I would say wait til later to try seltzer water or anything carbonated. It will fizz and fill you up fast and unexpectedly and you then could have a mess.

Try just going slowly at first, release the clamp, then close it when you feel overwhelmed and wait for a minute or so for things to settle. then try some more.

I generally run my flow very slowly and steadily, just a trickle. In the summer I like cool water, in winter I prefer warm. Running the water slowly means a longer enema. Those full flow, one minute, enemas are for later when I want a strong orgasm.

I also like to play with my nipples while the enema is going in, you should experiment to see what you like.

On a safety note: I had a heart attack after an enema. The water should always be slightly saline - check the recipes for the correct ratio, I generally throw in a teaspoon full of salt in my bag/bucket. Anything I do in the shower is short and sweet, I don't retain plain water. I'm new to this site, so I don't know what safety info is here, but it should be somewhere.

another important note, this is not a competition to see who can take the most, it's a fun experience that you do the way you want to, that gives you the most pleasure.

Dove,

Welcome to our humble community, my suggestion, easy does it, do what is right for you and stop if it's not right.

To mention one member:

Pleasure is first and foremost,go easy everyones capacity/tolerance is different according to our physiology. Keep in mind temperature, don't go below your body temp because it will cause rapid urges to expel. Don't go too warm, in excess of 101deg F, you tissues in the intestines have poor temperature receptors and can't detect too much heat well. A good way to go, is to start minimally and then work up to what is comfortable and pleasurable for you, start and stop as you like,be as gentle to yourself as you would have a lover be to you, enjoy. 😃

Hello and welcome 😃 The only way you could be a noob is to not ask questions. That being said, anything I could say in that regard at this point would be repetitive. All of the replies you have gotten at present are all good suggestions, especially from the ladies. I would though, recommend dropping the water temp to 99-100 deg F so as not to scald tender tissues, and start with smaller quantities so as to allow yourself time to acclimate to something new and provide more time for you to move to the commode to release without an overwhelming urge to expel that you might not be able to control.

Remember, it is not a contest to see how much you can initially take and hold, it is an experience that is intended to be gentle and pleasurable. If the rate at which it is flowing in is too uncomfortable, then reduce the rate of flow.

Also, what you saw on TV was most likely a "colonic", where water is allowed to flow into the recipient, and when that person says release, the flow is stopped and a valve is turned allowing the released water to flow out of a separate tube. This is accomplished by the use of a rectal speculum designed for that purpose, which does not allow fresh water and used water to intermix, I hope this helps. Welcome to our community. 😃

Also, keep in mind that some days you may be able to take 2 to 4 quarts easily. Some days it might be a struggle to get a quart in. As others have said, pay attention to your body and what it tells you.

If enema is used to clean your intestine besides to enjoy, do not think that one only enema is enouhg. To get complete clear water expulsion three or more enemas are needed. For two or more enemas, a bit salt or soda in the water is a wise recommendation :😃.

Follow all others indications in this page: not big amount, not high presion, not exotic recipes, slowly, body temperature, ... ¡good new experience and wellcome!.

I only buy the small bottles, the plain unscented castile. And, I store them in the refrigerator. I use very little soap, because it is irritating on a girl’s intestine, even the gentle castile varieties. Whatever you do, always keep your soap CLEAN and germ free, just as you would a food product. Remember, your intestine is highly susceptible to bacteria, so treat it with the utmost care, because it has to last a lifetime!

My partner and I do Bikram yoga which is yoga done in a room at 102 degrees or 42 centigrade. We use dops added to our water bottle that replaces the electrolytes washed out by sweat.

Reading here I guess we could be washing out electrolytes with our enemas.

Has anyone here thought about using drops similar to help keep the bodies electrolyte levels up?

IMHO enemas are for fun and anything you try--solo or with a partner---should be safe and pleasurable. If I want alcohol, I enjoy the taste-I will drink it and enjoy the buzz as well as the flavor. Enemas are fun without exotic enhancements--alochol, harsh soaps, exotic chemicals--don't add anything for me. Soothing warmth and a little pressure, good loving companionship, and a romantic setting---Perfect!!

When it is time to expel, don't push hard or too often. This may sound obvious, but if you push and push, you may have problems with hemorrhoids. I wish someone had told me this when I started, although my issues started before regular use of enemas.

That's all I can think of now.

What not to do: Don't take a hi-volume enema until you know what you are doing; don't take the water in too quickly; don't use alcohol unless you are very experienced; the first time, don't try to hold it in too long -- that can be tried later. Don't worry if you can't take too much the first time -- just start with, say, 1.5 litres and gradually increase as you have more experience. Keep your enema equipment clean and only use clean tap water with salt, if necessary. Practice safe sex: don't share enema equipment with people you don't know well.

A "four quarter" is an enema of four quarts of solution. I hope that answers your question. BTW, no question is stupid or out of place here as long as it is related to the use of enemas.

Great pointers. Must say take it slow and do not jump into trying something new before a long trip or a tough day at work. I enjoy a punishment enema at times and when lemon juice was not enough I did the milk and molasses and I know now always follow up with a few clear salt water bags to clean you out or enjoy the cramps for days after. The good thing at work you can always blame it on something you ate.

Start small with a combo enema douche bag at Wal-mart its like 7 bucks. You can work up to getting the full 2 quarts in you and then you can start to shop for better equipment. You need to try it warm and slow at first follow directions on the box or in this forum. Your going to have the nice feeling of fullness and after its out of you the cleanest feeling in the world. There is nothing better. Go small and best bet is use this site to learn and try new things. Good luck let us know how it goes.

Simms is when you are lying on your left side with your right leg bent slightly......kind of a semi fetal position....a very nice position for taking an enema!

Many of the prior respondents have provided excellent advice. I would like to suggest that before engaging in recrational enemas one first become educated regarding the basic anatomy and physiology of the colon. This information will help you understand some of the prior proscriptions that have been previously posted. IT VITAL THAT ONE HEED THE ADVICE REGARDING ALCOHOL ENEMAS, THEY CAN AND HAVE BEEN FATAL!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, remember why you are engaging in the practice of taking recreational enemas; to enjoy sexual gratification. Enjoy and be safe.

Trying to take to much volume is also very dangerous. I had a friend an older man that was in for a barium enema, in the hospital mind you. The x-ray tech was known to be sort of an arrogant SOB, the tech kept trying to get the patient to take more volume. After working at this the patients colon burst. The hospital stay to clean out the abdomenal cavity was a couple of weeks. Not a good idea in my opinion to risk that.

No problem, jt. I would be most happy to help you. The first thing yo8u need to konw is that enemas can be fun, as well as for healthy practices of cleanliness. So there are several things one needs to know to do this.

First, whether or not you go to the bathroom before your first enema is up to you. More inside makes it more difficult to take the enema, so it might be a good idea, the first few times, to empty first and then take the enema.

Second, the recipe is quite important. Electrolyte balance should be considered, and that means that you should put one teaspoon of salt in the bag per quart of water. The exception is if you use a soapy solution to do the enema. I have not heard of a requirement to use salt with the soap.

The hose you use is up to you. If the shower hose works for you, then go for it. There is nothing you need to worry about, unless it is uncomfortable for you to use the hose. But one caution I would stress very seriously: *DO NOT FORCE THE TUBE IN ANY FARTHER THAN IT WANTS TO GO!!!* Injury can be serious if you perforate your colon. So be most careful in that regard.

As for the taking itself, go as slowly as you need to do it, and go from there. If you get cramps, stop the flow for about a minute, and that will allow the colon to acclimate to the contents of your colon. Then resume, and periodically keep track of how you feel, so that you can stay comfortable with the experience.

As for quantity of water, I would go small at first, perhaps only a quart at a time, until you become accustomed to the process. Then you can increase the amount of water you take, as you get more experienced with this process.

Retention is up to you. It is usually recommended that you retain for no more than 15 minutes, as the cleaning process is dependant on getting things out early. Though I have held a lot longer than than, and that is okay, too, for me. Try it as you go, and see what happens. This should be a good experience, and can be, if you do it right for you. Your right may not be mine, and visa versa, so keep that in mind.

I hope this has helped, and if you have any questions, ask, and I shall be more than happy to answer them, or at least try to find the answers. But the most important thing is to have a good, and even a fun, experience doint this. So enjoy!!!!

As posted else were on this forum: :'(

Ice water = CRAMPS FROM HELL !

Welcome to the community. Enemas can be a very real physical stimulation that gives you some great experiences. You might try using a standard enema (available at any pharmacy department). Hold it longer than the recommended time if possible. You can do this while sitting on the toilet. This will clean out the lower bowel and allow you to receive more volume from a standard enema. Volume is not always the key, either. Concentrate on the good sensations that come to your body. Also, try your first ones by laying on your left side with your knees slightly bent toward your breasts. This position puts your colon in a position that allows more fluid to enter. Take your time; don't get in a hurry and remember that with time you will be able to experience more enjoyment. Also, share your experience. Talking about it helps.

With 63+ years experience behind me (pun intended), I'd like to add to the other comments of NO ALCOHOL! I tried just a little wine--just a bulb syringeful--maybe 4 ounces, and retained it. When it hit, I became seriously drunk, and ended up falling down my cellar stairs, luckily with only bruises to show for it. The onset and severity of the alcohol effects was frightening. I could easily see someone passing out from an alcohol enema and just not waking up.

Incidentally, when sodium pentothal was first used as an anesthetic, it was available for rectal use, to induce anesthesia mainly in children or apprehensive patients, as a prelude for inhalation anesthetic. Its dosage was based on patient weight, but it fell into disuse because the design of the applicator was faulty, and the stop on the applicator could slip and allow an overdose. It was recognized that once an overdose was administered rectally, there was little or nothing that could be done about it. With an IV route, the drug was titrated to produce the desired level of anesthsia, and the effect was almost immediate. Because of the delay in onset with rectal application, the dose was guessed at, administered, and then everyone waited for the result, which hopefully was enough, but not too much.

Alcohol in its many forms and strengths is too hard to control, and thus too dangerous!

I got my bottle at the local drug store. the first feeling .. nervous!

I would keep it simple with just warm water and salt and baking soda and simple drug store equipment at first taking only as much water as is comfortable. I prefer an open top bag, medium mushroom shaped nozzle with higgenson bulb attached in line. And I like my enemas in the morning before breakfast. Taken on a full stomach, enemas can be very uncomfortable. I think it is a great way to start the day.

Always listen to your body.... if you don't feel right don't do it. Sometimes after a large water enema you might get a slight headache. That means that you may have absorbed too much water. Mix sea salt with it. Make sure you drain completely before starting a second or third enema. This will help make sure your clean and that you don't get too much water.

As already noted here by peeps with alot of years under their belt (as well as water) take your time and enjoy it.

Do not insert someone else's equipment into you.

It's more important to try out the things you want to do than to worry yourself about what you shouldn't do. It is not likely that you will do anything silly that might injure yourself, so just enjoy the thrills as you pass each stage of preparing the enema and taking it. I don't like allowing air to be pumped into my colon when I'm taking an enema, so I always make sure I exclude any air from the enema tube. With my Higginson syringe, I simply pump the water through the syringe till I can hear that there are no bubbles squirting from the nozzle. I don't make the water too hot as that could injure the lining of my colon. Cold water is not likely to harm you so strike that happy medium in temperature. Find the position that allows you to enjoy taking your enema and don't worry about turning into a new position if you want to make the enema flow deeply inside your colon. Don't try any exotic recipes for your enema until you are well practised at giving yourself an enjoyable erotic enema. You can always experiment with mixtures later when you are happy with making a change for a bit of variety. {Ever tried collecting your own urine? Piss enemas can be fun and quite erotic just thinking about what you are giving yourself}. Have fun and enjoy your enema.
