Be carefull with large volume enemas

The use of a high voume (6 to 8 qt.) enemas to reverse an intussusception is still used as a method to bypass an invasive surgcal procedure. This is done under anesthesia, as it would be quite painful. When the prolapsed iliocecal valve is returned to it's proper place, an audible “pop” is often heard.

I have been blessed with a larger than normal colon. From the anecdotal postings on this thread, it appears most people have a 2Q limit. My limit is a pint shy of 5Q. 4Q, when administered correctly, is very comfortable for me and I can relax with a full belly. When getting to that point, I am usually laying on my back, enjoying the ride and watching the bag deflate. I have to be in a special mood to go for 5Q, but that's not common.

I’ve been doing enemas for years now

last year I developed a hernia but not related to enema sports injury due to heavy lifting

prior to surgery routine enema was 2 quarts with an occasional 3-3½ quart

now post surgery a year later I can really only take 1 quart at a time it’s disappointing but I don’t want to risk another hernia surgery so I guess that’s it unless anyone has suggestions

I took a rather large enema today and it forced me to throw up bile .. not fun

I do just enough to get cleaned out real good. that's all for me you big boys knock yourself out.😁😁

About 6 quarts

Can someone please tell me what is the safe amount of water to insert each time when using one of those enema bulb type syringes.

mine probably holds 250ml so when i have squeezed the water in, i hold it for a few moments, then i release it, and repeat this until i am ejecting clean water, and usually it takes about 5 or 6 goes to get it clean to my satisfaction.

I have read that it is not a good idea to do too many Enemas in a short period of time, not really sure why this is.

@miker, down below, you posted

and I wrote a note asking you how much enema volume you took that time associated with or maybe causing vomiting, and you then replied

About 6 quarts.

I didn’t notice your reply then, so I Deleted my comment questioning your volume just now in case you didn’t care to answer me. After deleting it, THEN I saw that you had already replied, saying 6 quarts. In any event, I just want to thank you now for replying to my volume query. I meant you no offense or embarrassment but was very curious as I had never vomited during an enema ever since starting them in 1967. My best wishes and I hope you continue enjoying this unique pleasure many of us love.

All the best,

Eric

P.S. I’ve not made it to 6 quarts, as my maximum just one single time was taking 5 quarts semi-accidentally. It was very pleasant and challenging to hold for 30 minutes, but absolutely no cramps nor any feeling of pain. It just felt more pressurized internally and more distended in the mirror than 4 quarts both of which I enjoy. I’m usually sticking with 4-4.5 quarts these days as I enjoy them so much. I’ll likely do 5 again sometime and the thought of doing 6 quarts is oddly appealing though I’m not sure if or when it would happen.

No embarrassment at all. And as a fellow individual of our unique pleasure, I wish you the best!

As long as you don’t use an inflatable nozzle, or super large plug, your intestines will start pushing water back out. At that point you know you are at your limit. I can routinely take right at 4 quarts. But everyone is different. We all have different sized bodies. So know what your limits are. Enemas are supposed to be enjoyable and refreshing!

I have done 4 to even 5 qt enemas regularly but I remember I had to work up to that. Also everytime is different. Sometimes I can't take more other times I can not The key is to go by feeling. If I get pressure I stop. If I feel like I have to go badly I stop and get on the toilet. Any pain I stop right away and get it out. I never get pains just feeling full and needing to go badly. All things said been doing enemas in some way since I was 5 years old. Even before that given them by my parents. I know for sure I 💘 enemas
