Bidet

Has anyone tried rigging up a bidet to give themselves an enema? I would think it might be a great way to do it.

It would be kind of messy. We have two American Standard bidets in the house, one in our bathroom and one for our daughters. The drains on them are really the size of a regular bathroom sink, and feces would not drain down easily without taking out the drain plugs and possibly pushing the feces down the drain. The volume of the basin in a bidet isn't so great either--nothing like a toilet. Also, you would need to take off the bidet's spray head and install some kind of nozzle, a la the JBL bag to get the water into your colon.

I suppose you could do it, but it would take a little work and I think I'd rather use a JBL bag or some other kind of DIY colonic device at home. Using a bidet for an enema is probably better in your fantasy than reality.

I have a Twyford Entice bidet. If I relax the spray will flow up my rear end. , For my money the toilet is for pooing and the bidet washing. i have no desire to call my friendly plumber to unblock the bidet.

I tried to hook my Pleasure Fountain to the bidet faucet but this did not work so I purchased a longer (2m) hose to connect with the shower. This allows me to sit on the bidet, hands free, take water until I'm full and then move to the adjacent toilet to release. The Fountain continues to run, draining through the bidet, until I'm ready to repeat the exercise. The result is great cleanliness and much pleasure!

Bidets are quite differnt between brands. Ours has a central up facing nozzel with fine holes pointed up. We have high water pressure in the house (65 psi cutoff on the punp) and I find that after a poop (in the toilet) if I sit on the bidet with my but down in a bit and cheeks spred that if I relax my anal sphincter (ie bear down a bit) and slide around to just the right position that I can get some of the high pressure stream to go in. I can not take a "real" enema this way with good volume but I can take a series of small enemas -- sort of like bulb enema, squirting each one out. When I am done the last few are completely clear. This certainly does not clean out my upper colon like a series of enemas but it does an excelent job on my anus and rectum. Since that is where mant cancers start I think the process is actually quite healthy. Not nearly as much fun as an enema series but it is quick and easy and perhaps a healthy thing to do. And certainly not unpleasant.
