TSA and Traveling with Enema Equipment in Luggage

I have been a flight attendant for over 12 years and I never leave home without my enema gear in my cabin bag. Many of the flights involve an overnight in a hotel somewhere and the first thing I do wen getting into my room is to fill the bathtub with nice warm water Fill my enema bag and lay back in the tub and insert the nozzle and allow the water to fill me slowly. When filled I jump out onto the John and empty out before getting back into the tub and filling again. Some days I repeat this process about 4 times.

Another alternative is to take the Higginson into the tub with me and , relax and slowly pump the water in. (at this stage I havnt managed to empty the bathtub LOL )

I have carried my enema equipment for the 12 plus years and never been inspected by a customs officer. I wouldnt care any way Im not ashamed of having regular enemas, its my prime source of pleasure when away from home

Love Sally

"Don't leave home without it" - that's my enema bag motto! 😄

I always carry a 2 qt. folding enema bag in my brief case, and usually a 4 qt. full high enema set in my suitcase.

The hotel room drip coffee makers also make a delightful morning coffee enema pick-me-up to start the day!

When I travel by air I either carry a small folding 2 qt fountain syringe or, preferably, my 4 qt silicone enema syringe with colon tubes - because it's really FUN to take enemas in lots of different places! On my last trip, my enema equipment in my checked baggage had obviously be opened and inspected by TSA. Grrrr.

I always take either a 2qt bag, or a Higgenson pump for travel. Screw the TSA! But I remember once the Jap customs guys looking my equipmenmt over pretty hard. Holding it up, turning it around. But since the rest of the crew had already gone thru, there was no embarrassment on my part.

Some countries such as China have bad water even in the good hotels, so you have to get some bottled water. Got a gallon jug in Peking once and found that a room temp enema caused a lot of cramps! Finally put the gallon jug in the tub and ran hot water until the tub was full. That warmed the jug water after about a half an hour. That became standard practice in Asia. European water is pretty good these days, not like Spain in the late 60's. The only thing you need to take to Africa or the Mid-east is a return ticket on the soonest flight out.

Whenever I travel I usually take at least one combination bag with me. I find it exciting thinking about what must be going through the mind of the person doing the screening. I have had them bring it back for a second look in the x-ray machine.

I like to relax in my hotel room taking a series of enemas in the evening and then a coffee enema in the morning. I need to go on another trip soon. I have gotten to the point where I will leave it hanging in the shower to dry for the day. 😜

Whenever I travel will take a combination bag with higginson syringe atttachment plus whatever else I need. Its all a natural part of my travel needs and when I fly make sure its packed safely in the hold luggage and if this is discovered with a security search it will no doubt cause a few smiles!

I don't fly very frequently, but I have to say that the last time I flew, there was a flap over my underwire bra.

Apparently I don't have certain inhibitions that others do, not to say that I can't be embarrassed, because I can...but not over body parts.

I offered to take the thing off right there if they needed. It was handled discreetly by a female security officer and a wand.

This recent flap where the gal had to remove her nipple jewelry? I would have opened my blouse and unhooked my bra and said 'happy now?'

And in the case of discovering toys and/or enema items in my luggage...well let them be the one who gets embarrassed. Last time my friend flew back from New York, her ziploc bag of dirty undies was missing upon arrival back home...so I'd rather have 'em in my carry-on and get it searched than have 'em go missing from my checked luggage. They can buy their own toys...they aren't playing with mine!

A few years ago, my husband and I went to Europe to do some traveling and to attend Europerve. We took three suitcases and were checking them all. One had my clothes, one my husband’s clothes and one had my rubber scene clothing, my husbands leather garb, a 4 quart silicone bag, double balloon rectal catheter, several leather restraints, a rope harness and sex toys all neatly laid out in large heavy duty freezer glad bags. As luck would have it, they were x-raying the bags that were being checked, as well as carry on bags. My husband carried the two bags with regular clothing and I carried the one bag with all the goodies. We got separated by another couple or two as the bags were checked, and he started to walk to the gate when he saw I was stopped at the x-ray having my bag opened and examined. ALL the paraphernalia was examined by the Transportation Security Authority guards! My nerves were turned on full blast, everything was centered on maintaining composure — my husband was very impressed, saying I personified "elegance and grace under pressure," a benefit derived from my OR training and from a few particular scenes where my husband dominated the hell out of me. I was concerned because I wasn't wearing a lot of clothing and didn't want to get picked up for anything like prostitution as we were about to leave the country from JFK airport. One by one, they had slowly taken everything out of the suitcase and put it out on a large steel table with a glass screen I had to stand on the other side of. After about ten minutes, the guard apparently had seen enough and packed it all back, and told me to be careful and gave me a wink.

I asked my husband why he stayed away instead of coming to my rescue. He said he didn’t come back to me because he was afraid that he might be implicated in something, so he just watched and waited from a bit of a distance. He said if I was detained, that he would be able to call for help to get bailed out. Lucky for him he had a good answer! I wanted to kill him for letting me go through this without his being by my side.

I travel a lot too and always take a folding bag. I split everything up and carry one of my custom nozzles in a pants pocket so it won't show up when x-rayed. The hose is stored separately from the bag and the clamp and I use a metal S hook stuffed in with my toiletries. I've have a few hand searches but no one has found the bag yet.

I love relaxing in the evening with a nice series of enemas.

Retiring 20+ years ago I flew heavy cargo jet in USAF for 15 years. I always had a folding douche/enema bag with me. Some months I would clear customs 35-40 times. Never had a word said. My next door neighbor was a custom inspector at LAX and he used to laugh over beers at the stuff he saw. After about 5 years he said what he saw ever day was “OLD SHIT NOW” and he knew what he was really looking for now, and it wasn’t worth the time to make a scene out of douche bags and toys.

As far as at enema @ FL300, that must have been messy with the higher cabin altitude vs. higher internal body pressure. The body is still @ sea level or a little higher depending were you departed. It takes about 6 hours and 2 or 3 farts to equalize. 😜 I flew too much to fall for that one, if so it was a mess and Europe is not that long of a flight, with climb out decent and approach the cruise segment with a stable cabin pressure might have been 5.5 hours max. If so I’m sure the other passengers and cabin attendants appreciated that. Your ears will tell you what the cabin pressure is doing, you do not need a cockpit indicator!

I have had the TSA guys get real embarrassed when they discover my bag during search.. unlike women guys only have one reason to carry one...fugum they are the ones embarrassed not me!

Hi Berken,

If I'm going to be somewhere for a few days, I just pop into a drug store and purchase a regular bag then leave it in the hotel. They are inexpensive - less than a decent lunch costs. No hassle remembering to pack "equipment", wondering about TSA, etc.

During my last trip I stopped by a Walgreen's and saw a travel douche kit. A female friend on e4f told me about this so I decided to try it. Small, discreet, highly portable. The only downside is that is that if you're looking for volume, refills are required. It's like with a bulb syringe with a flexible, balloon-type bag instead of a bulb, and of course, the nozzle is a douche nozzle. Anyway, this little treasure has a permanent place in carry-on roller now.

As stated else were on this site I flew for years as an Aircrew Member in the USAF, and have cleared customs is some 67 countries one time or another. And like with TSA now one has to get up early in the morning to surprise them with items in your baggage. The new members will sometimes make a deal out of it, but after awhile it becomes old to them. Enema / douche bags and toys are nothing compared to other stuff they find and it may be illegal in some countries. Living in Japan for 4 years, I can tell you they are the most “CLOSET KINKY” people on the face of the earth, there are even “LOVE MOTELS” over there that the rooms are full stocked with every toy you could imagine , all one needs is a partner. My 1st wife and I had a fun time believe me.

In a former occupation, I used to travel all the time. I would pack my folding bag and an additional shaving kit, complete with hose, nozzles, and lube. Never went missing and I couldn't care less about TSA. And, if the motel I stayed in had the small bars of Ivory, they went into that kit! After a stressful day, I would relax curled up in the Sims position with my current favorite book!

I traveled a lot in business and always had an open top enema bag in the luggage. I was in Mexico a few years ago and they did open my bag and hold up the enema bag. I had taken the black gallon bag, got a smile out of a lot of people. 😁

I sometimes take a bulb syringe. One time when travelling I left it in my carry-on. The security guard looked at the x-ray and asked me if I had a light bulb in my luggage. I answered no, it was just a personal syringe. She smiled and said OK.

I lean the ironing board up against the bed rail and hang my bag. Then I can be in the bed for the hotel enemas as opposed to the floor. Anyway the ironing board is a wonderful implement.

I take my gear frequently with me and from over 100 trips I was only searched once, by US customs. The look on the face of the agent when I told him what it was: Priceless.

My gear is a red Walgreen's bag, a silicon hose with a pump and *two* directional valves - one before the valve and one after - and a double balloon silicon nozzle. The great advantage of the whole arrangement is that I can have the bag on the hotel bed beside me and pump the water in. As long as I let all the air out it works great - no backward flow and I take the entire bag.

We've all had the TSA open our checked bags and leave the little pre-printed tag inside.

On a recent five-day business trip, I packed a white klystra, a double balloon nozzle, a klystra KB-2 and a 30" colon tube - all packed neatly in the leatherette case. I checked the gear in my regular suitcase. When I got to my destination and began to unpack my stuff, it had been pretty thoroughly ransacked. I expected to see the little TSA tag, but it wasn't there. Later on in the evening, I went to unpack the "real bag" and enjoy myself. Lo and behold, the TSA tag was inside the leatherette carrying case, but with a little smiley face scrawled on it!

Just wondering what experiences others have had with TSA inpections or with checked "bags" in general?

Great story, switchable. Sounds like your hubby barely dodged your ire!

Did your ordeal seem sort of a "turn-on"? It sounds like it!!

Actually, it was a little scary. It was only a couple of years after 9/11/2001 and everyone was hyper about air travel, especially international travel. When he explained why he did what he did--staying away--it made sense because the possibility of both of us being detained would have been high since we were a couple, but going through separately would have made it possible for me to call him to get bailed out if necessary. If we were together, we would both be in trouble and need to call someone else.

It definitely was NOT a turn-on. It was real life. I was never in trouble and didn't want to start.

I'm guesing that these TSA people "see it all" as part of their inspections process, and I doubt that many are "Choir Directors" every Sunday morning either. As long as they don't see drugs, knives, bombs, and various sharp objects that could be used as weapons, they could care less what they see in peoples luggage. "Oddities" like Susie was carrying probably just helped break up their otherwise routine boring day....hence the wink by the inspector. Truth be known, he (or she) might have wished they were going on that trip themselves.

It wasn't me flying, but a few years ago, an Enema buddy from CA was here and he left from our little airport (shitty airport for a capital city). He checked his bag that had a couple of large nozzles (custom from Grant) and went on through. As I was leaving, I passed one of the inspectors with his bag open and going through it. When I got home, I immediately left him a message telling what I had seen and was wondering if everything was put back in his bag. It was, but he could tell it had been gone through more thoroughly than normal. I guess the woman inspector got a thrill. I have not flown since Thanksgiving of '99, and have no intentions of doing so again. If I can't drive, I won't go.

A year or so I had to fly to Orange County to pick up a truck and drive it back to the Seattle area. No way was I going to make that trip with my bag and colon tube.

Going through inspection on TSA fellow turned to another standing by and said, "there are two shaving kits in this one." Handing the bag to the other one who tokk it and motioned me to come with him over to another counter to examine the carry-on.

When he got to my enema gear I told him that I had a choice of dealing with enemas or getting a colostomy....it was an easy choice. He agreed and wished me a safe trip.

Less than a year after 9/11 a TSA agent opened my carry-on, saw a flat black leather bag, zipped it open and began to pull out a 4 quart Klystra red rubber bag - all of this in front of other passengers. I'm sure I turned about the same color as the bag, but fortunately he didn't pull it all the way out. From that day on, all my gear goes in checked baggage.

Just to be "safe," I always put my equipment into a checked bag. This includes a classic metal enema can that went through x-ray without apparently causing suspicion.

I did that and they x-rayed the bags before loading them on the plane while passengers stayed with their bags. Mine was opened in the main passenger area of JFK on the main floor in front of everybody.

See my post 20 posts up^^^.

I was coming back from a trip to Texas a few months ago , now you have to hand carry your shaving kit I did but din't think on my black enema carrying case i was stopped and the agent opened the case and took out the enema bag and colon tube. He knew what they were but asked me what do you do with this.... I was beet red and said stay healthy and he smiled, put my bag back and handed it to me and said remember to carry to carry this out in the open next time....

I rememberr a few years ago, I was going into Israel at the Alemby bridge at Jericho from Jordan. The Israelies had an inspection station set up where all our belongings were searched. I felt real comfortable knowing that no bombs were being brought in. One lady had her enema equipment taken out of her suitcase and inspected right in front of me. I laughed to myself seeing her blush as she did. Later, I had the opportunity to comfort that sweet lady with comforting words. We became very good friends.

When I travel I use a discreet home-made "shower-shot" attachment that I can connect to a bathroom basin tap. When taken apart and stored in different compartments of my luggage, the individual parts will mean nothing to even the most suspicious inquisitor - just some spare plumbing parts I used for fixin' stuff, and forgot to take out of the suitcase since last time, you know... 😃

Hello all. I'm traveling to Tx soon and while there, will be seeing a Pro Dom. I would like to use my own equipment but how do I get it there? My luggage will be carry on so how many people carry their enema equipment through the airport security?

Ship your stuff ahead of time with a private shipper such as UPS or FedEx. No one will bother you equipment with private services.
