Does capacity really matter to you

Capacity doesn't matter to me because I really don't like the feeling of being too full and distended. I will fill and retain in the latter part of my sessions and I really don't know how much of the enema has been retained in terms of quarts etc. I go by feeling and then stop filling. I am really into the sensation of expelling- that is where the most intense part of the enema is for me.

Capacity does matter to me. If I don't take a complete fill, I have a hard time completely expelling my enema. They seem to get stuck, but a very full colon empties with out a hitch. I've never seen this mentioned anywhere else, so I guess this is a little unusual. I try to ensure the last enema I take in a series is as big as I can take, about 3 1/2 quarts.. This way I empty completely and can go about my day without interruption. SO, capacity does matter.

I have been doing soapsuds enemas since being a teen and now somewhat older-LOL-(after getting them from Mom as a kid ) and I never seem to be able to take more than 2 quarts. I have tried s l o w l y and I have tried open clamp up style still after 1500-2000cc I seem to have met my limit without pain ( I am a 170lb male) ----I really dont know how much I took as a kid but Mom always stopped when I said S T O P, and then off to the john.

It just seems that everyone else can take a lot more---3-4 qts or more.----any comments?

Not everyone can or wants to. I take about 2.2–2.3 litres. Recently I tried taking 2.5 litres. I can do it, but it feels no better than my usual volume, so I don’t see the point. To some people large volumes seem to be an end in themselves, but there’s no reason to see them that way.

I've always had a fascination with how much enema I can take, going back to when I first did enemas over 30 years ago. I remember filling a washbasin with a measured amount of water, then injecting it into me using a washed out washing up liquid bottle with a length of tubing attached. When I'd taken all I could I would measure what was left to see how much I had inside me. Then I progressed to hot water bottles hung from a hook in the bathroom with a much longer length of tubing attached, and again I would measure how much I took by measuring the water that went into each bag, and what was left afterwards. I took 5 and a half quarts several times using this method. Evemtually I progressed to 6 quarts from an open topped jug using a tube as a syphon, which works fine. I finally managed to fill myself with 6 quarts, possibly a little over, using this method. The first time it was very difficult to take the final couple of pints into me, but the next couple of times it became easier, and easier to hold it for a while too.

I really enjoy the feeling of enormous fullness you get with an enema of that size inside you, so I guess capacity does matter to me. I think I reached my limit with 6 quarts though.

Once in a while I get the in mood to really load up and after a good cleanout I can manage to take 4 quarts. It has its unique qualities and sensations.

But for the majority of my enemas, 2 quarts seems perfect. I do like to use a "known" volume for each enema and try to make sure that my fresh water rinse contain at least as much as the soapy one - or maybe a quart more.

While 4 qts of tap water are fine for me, where I run into trouble is that I have to have 1-1/2 to 2 qts in from a nozzle before I can put in my 4' colon tube without running into troubles from the bends in the colon. Once I am able to pt the tube in all of the way, I sort of feel like doing only 2 qts is sort of a waste of time, so I go for another 3-4 qts and enjoy the time spent filling. The whole process takes 1/2 to 3/4 hour and I can hold it for a while, but usually time does not permit, so I expel and get on to the next one. I have a 4 gallon summer camp shower bag that I have put calibration marks on, so I know how much I am putting in, and I do not have to refill it between enemas, which is a convenience.

No. In fact, I'd rather take half a 2 quart bag and retain it for 10 to 15 minutes than tough it out with a larger volume. Using a rectal tube as I do instead of a nozzle, I can do a good cleansing and feel more comfy in the process. If I'm really bound up, two half bags work just as well for me without having to struggle taking large volumes. Getting an enema should be a pampering experience, especially for a woman!

After several years without having a enema, I recently (last week) purchased a 4 qt. enema kit. I read several recipes on the internet and decided for my first time to use the 2 qt. 50 mg bisacodyl mixed with 2 oz. of glycerin. This was easy to hold for the 10 minutes that was recommended on this particular site. I had some marginal cramping, but all in all what I was wanting. I have since gave myself 2 other enemas, 1 the exacted same and the third I added another qt. of water. I couldn't hold it as long as the 2 qt., but no big difference. I did have one issue with the short nozzle that came with the kit, sliding out as I started the flow, I guess this is one of the disadvantages of doing solo procedures. I did purchase a new nozzle from a web site that I learned of from a different forum on this site, I received it yesterday and am looking forward to trying it tonight after work. I'm thinking 3 quarts is in my near future.

You're absolutely correct Kilroy45....the standard adult enema nozzle isn't very good when "going solo". A standard douche nozzle is far better, but still not as good as one of the many other retention style nozzles that are available through numerous sources on the internet. Good luck.

I don't think it matters. I make myself a full 2 quart bag and take what I can. If I don't take it all, it does not matter much. Sometimes after expelling the first part I might go back and take the rest of the bag, but it depends on my mood.

Good point Vicki.V...however, some of us guys enjoy a little TLC or pampering as well! I don't need to push the limits to enjoy a good old fashioned enema.

Put me in the group that would rather have several smaller enemas than one or two big ones.

I rarely take more than two quarts. When younger I tried pushing it and a few times got to two and a half, and one time three quarts. Three quarts was not fun. I felt "shitty" for hours after. I want to feel clean and refreshed after.

Place me in the category of small, medium, large. The first is very nice and slow. Capacity is less important than quality. The second is always larger; get's things moving. The final one is for getting all the leftovers handled. I seldom go there, but it gets really easy to administer. During one of my rare play sessions with an E-Date, I regard their pleasure utmost. I expect similar treatment from them. It's about enjoyment and respect. Just being with someone is very special and intimate. I love that.

....tyypically first one is 2 plus quarts...then take 3 plus quarts..then third one is typically 4....will do coffee evry so often after that....timeis important so don't have to ruch....

Yes capacity matters, it's a goal for me the more the better, my goal was always 6qts at once. I almost achieved it when I was 18 I got 5.5qts in and I couldn't stand the pressure no more. Now at most I rake is 4.5qts. But I just bought a new jbl bag that holds 6qts. As soon as it gets here I'm gonna do my best to take the whole bag and maybe plus some if I can........wish me luck

Capacity for me is 2qts nice and easy changing positions and rubbing my tummy. I try and hold it as long as I can That's what I enjoy

I like to do 4 quart enemas but rarely do them on the first enema. Usually I get to 4 quarts on the 4th and 5th enema of a series. But if it starts hurting, I always stop. I do enemas for pleasure and not pain and I take the pain as a sign that I am full enough.

The amount doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I certainly strive for two quarts or more, but if it is less, that it is what it is. The amount of the enema is not the compelling factor for me.

Volume is not important for me. I usually take one & a half to 2 quarts. I take them slowly focusing on tne pleasure of the various sensations from the warmth when the water first enters to the feeling of fullness as the bag empties.

When I'm just cleaning out before playing or using toys, I try to keep the volumes smaller so I'm not waiting too long for any water stuck inside to come out. But when it's just enemas for pleasure, I do try to take as much as is comfortable - at least 2 qts and preferably more - just to feel the sensation of being so full.

No. Most times I take what feels right which is usually somewhere between one and two quarts, sometimes less. Especially if the enema is intended as foreplay with my husband. He does not have the patience to wait while I make multiple trips to the toilet to empty out if I am full up. For me, it is the anticipation, the lubing of my ass, and the insertion of the nozzle followed by that initial rush of warm water that gets me started. I can hold a small quantity longer if the situation calls for it and I usually can empty in a couple of minutes or what remains can be held if necessary.

I guess if the goal was cleaning your gut from end to end like for some kind of exam, then more volume would be required. But for a pleasant enema I do not want to feel like my gut will explode from being filled beyond capacity. That is not why I like enemas. Obviously some of you go for that, but that is not me.

Well maybe its just C and me but enemas are about pleasure, both giving and receiving. Everyone is different in what they can hold and it can change either way from time to time. Crowding limits is a fun thing for the giver. Punishment enemas are a different deal. They don't depend so much on volume as what the solution is . . a bit of imagination on the part of the giver can produce all manner of agony with only a quart especially with a retention nozzle.

For some reason, I never found 2 qts or so satisfying, so I generally do 4qts, sometimes more. It is not the number of quarts that is important, it is the cleaning and satisfaction I get from that amount which happens to be 4 qts.

I always like to take a 4 quart enema because I like the fullness.

Capacity or volume is not a "keeping up with Joneses (or enemates)" type of thing for me. I like different volumes, solutions or retention times depending on my mood and what I feel like at the time. For years I took only 2-2.5 Q but then wanted to experiment with more, so recently have become accustomed to 2.5 as a minimum depending on solution, and now routinely do 2.5-3.5 Quarts. A few weeks ago, I had more time and interest, so I used a very benign soothing enema of just saline and took 4 quarts, held it for about 10 minutes, enjoyed the distention, and expelled it.

Very interesting and pleasant, no cramps or sequelae. I rather marveled at the time that I could hold that much, but there was absolutely no cramping, pain or other indication of problems, so I had a nice time. I'm very sensitive to cramping and pain during an enema, so it's pretty easy to keep it safe. The next day, I intended to repeat it, because I had such interesting sensations, not because I felt in any way like "well, I took as much as he/she did." I started the enema, and after taking my whole 2.5 quart bag as I did the prior day, I got up to refill. I frequently indulge my submissive side and run a very pleasant fantasy of my partner dominantly giving this to me as part of her requirements for the day. I refilled the bag, started again and reached the 4 quart mark as before.

I held it for a little while, really enjoying the newish sensations and playing with my fantasy Domme, and it felt so good I just opened the bag to see what it would feel like. I still had no problems and enjoyed some masturbation and the fantasy voice of my partner. By the time I looked up again, the bag was empty, so I had sort of semi-intentionally given myself 5 quarts. I held that for a short time and then found the trip to the throne especially interesting and had a long but pleasing release. I think I'll keep it to 4 max from now on, as I enjoyed both but didn't feel like the extra quart was really worth it for additional enjoyment, filling and draining time. My enemas are for enjoyment and sexual stimulation and for mutual pleasure with my partner, and 4 quarts or less delightfully satisfies my/our pleasure quotient.

I have to use a system called "peristeen" every other day due to a spinal injury. i use 1-2 litres but that gets me totally clean. The sensation when the balloon is inflated is incredible and i must admit it turns me on. i am really developing an interest in anal play and fisting. If there is anyone in the staffordshire UK area who wants to try it, please get in touch.

Hello everyone! I was wondering how frequently I should practice if I want to hold a larger volume of water. I normally take 2 liters (3- and sometimes 4L after I empty out) But I cant get any consistent gains on my progress. Ideally, I'd like to be able to take Gallon consistently.

So I was wondering if any of you veterans know how often and how long I should practice per week/month in order to achieve this quantity, and whether or not I should be holding the Enemas.

Carl,

Welcome to the group. I would say take whatever amount you can hold and hold that for as long as you can. Doing it regularly every few days should make it easier to slowly increase the volume. "Practice makes perfect".

You may also want to vary water temperature. Sometimes warmer water works better, but be careful not to make it too hot. And don’t push yourself too hard. I have been doing daily enemas for years, challenging myself on occasion, and still cannot take 3 liters. So enjoy the challenge but don’t overdo it and hurt yourself
