In fact, all these things are available now, but with an important difference: the color. For me, the "true" enema/douche equipments consist of red bulb and black rigid tube. Nowdays, I can not buy such things with black tube, I do not know, why. The red bulb is avaiable, but with white tube only.
@rubberpear -- Have you considered searching E-bay as they do come up from time to time ...1.)Look under "niche" collectables located along top right hand bar at the top for the "dropdown".... When accessed you will see page menu appear in upper left hand side -- Go to >>> "Science & Medicine" 1930's till Now ... Simply click onto this & you may just find those items that are of interest to you ..... 2) Another location where you may view such an item which I think does display same .... Said website situated in Germany & also out of Singapore ..www.fraudoktor.com Good luck in your endeavoursNow if it were possible to travel back in time id buy goods near identical to what i have now ... However i'd ad just three more ... 1) A Davol Paris fountain (open top) 3 Quart bag - have already the Davol 'Paris' 3 Qt combi as new in box ... 2) A genuine Vollrath 4 Quart Douche Can & lastly ... A sky blue ribbed Pumpkin bag
New stuff does absolutely nothing for me... quality or not. Something about old equipment; especially the plus sized open top bags. Davol Paris, Sears 3qt, and some of the BFGoodrich ones.
Two of every enema device in the store: Bags, bulbs, cans, nozzles, colon tubes. They would be in pristine condition and last us for years.US
I'd like to be able to see inside my local pharmacy 50 years ago. My mom said there was a display of fountain syringes, combinations and bulbs. They had an accessories shelf that included replacement tubing, colon and rectal tubes, glass connectors, clamps and nozzles. I wish we still had those choices today. "Doc" Lange was the pharmacist and one of the clerks was a retired nurse who, if you asked her, would quietly give you advice on how to give a good enema.
I would buy a US Rubber "Royal" fountain syringe with a matching hot water bottle. I might have to go back even further. These were of great quality and fine rubber. Of course, a folding travel syringe would be a great asset as well.
Hi Vicki. V, I had the same experience with our small town pharmacy. I addition to the displays of bags and bulb syringes they had a set of wooden drawers which contained a well organized and labeled selection of nozzles, tubes, clamps and especially connectors which would be very handy to put together parts from different suppliers today. I was only about seven or eight and would search the "Rubber Goods" aile and wonder at the assortment of items. The only thing I was familiar with was a small bulb syringe with a black plastic nozzle. I was very familiar with that and did everything I could to avoid any interaction with that devise.
If you could time travel back 50 years ago today, go to a drug store you knew as a child, and buy enema equipment that you could bring forward into the present day, for use by your current self, what would you buy?“Answer:All the enema equipment that existed back then…🤗🤗🤗😛😎
I posted nearly 10 years ago and did mention a folding travel syringe in addition to the "US Royal" fountain syringes. We did wear out moms "Sojourn" travel syringe by the time I was 12. That would be a bit over 60 years ago. It would sure be nice to have one of those to supplement my enema obsession.
An original JBL sit on enema cushion. I had one of the later Klystra versions, loved the feeling of warm water in my rectum and warmth against my anus, but it leaked.
Good ole Rexall red combo bag with red hose and all 3 black nozzles. Infant, adult rectal and douche.
A Sears Force Flo Combination Syringe just Like the one used on for my first larger volume enema . Which lead me here, I was hooked!
HMMM I would not be around 50 years ago. I asked a friend he says Maple Leaf brand potato chips.It has nothing to do with enema equipment. I just wanted to participate.
Hi !! My name is Jamie. I saw your post RE: 50 years ago, Pharmacy Thank you for the memory! I read your description and one other about a "display" of enemas and related goods. Our Pharmacy, Kiley and Culleen had a glass front case under the pharmacy pick up counter which was counter height. But to the left was -well it seemed taller than Mother- a continuation of the case, but bigger, taller. You could point out to the Pharmacist what you wanted and he could access from behind the display case. I remember Mother waiting for an Rx and i wandered down the case and BOOM ! I couldn't believe what i saw, the red bulb!! But on the bottom, I recall going passed this glass case intentionally until we moved, when i was 15. the shelf was raised in the back so it allowed the products to be seen on a 45 degree angle. White, Red and and a large red bag(s) were displayed. The same angle for the shelf above and the accessories were displayed and taped down to the 45 degree back...nozzles, including the kind we had which screwed on vs pushed on. I loved being scared going past this counter. I had the bulb for a few times. I think i was 7 when my first red bag was used. I am almost 70, so my memories here are early /mid 60s.
I am not at all into enemas, ( I never had one, may be I miss something) but, having a strong rectal temperature fetish, I would probably take davantage of this time trip to purchase a few mercury rectal thermometers. For me, the real thing.
I don't remember ever seeing a physical display of personal care items, especially enema gear in a drug store 50+ years ago. What I do remember is seeing (read, going to the section immediately upon receipt) of the Sears, Roebuck & Company and Montgomery Ward catalogs. Most every member of my family were very familiar with enemas but I never would have dreamed of receiving one for my birthday or Christmas but I always dreamed.
I'm going for the Shy Expanding Douche Kit. If you're unfamiliar, I posted some videos in one of my albums. I had many enjoyable enemas with that and was heartbroken when it finally exploded. I would overfill it, of course, and I'm sure that contributed to it's early demise. Would love to see something like that make a comeback, but considering how enemas and douching seem to be not as popular as fifty year ago, I know that's unlikely.
I remember perusing the enema douche supplies in the drugstores 50 or more years ago. They were like magnets to me.Flashback: I also remember as a kid before that, buying cinnamon infused toothpicks in small vials at the drugstore. They were spicy and it was considered cool to have one sticking out of your mouth.
I think what I miss the most are the amber latex enema bags. I had several over the years, although none lately. They stored easily, expanded to a full 2 quarts or more, and were semi-transparent so you could watch the water level. But, they were not very durable. Either the hanging grommet pulled out or it cracked and leaked at the folds or at the outlet fitting. I am old enough to remember when the local drugstore had more than one type of bag and bulb available and I bought one of each type over the years to compare them. Some were more durable than others and some were more kinky to me. Such as buying a douche bulb or Shy syringe to try for an enema. Some were keepers until they wore out, others got trashed within a few uses.Of course, the Sears and Wards catalogs were great to page through, when they literally had several pages of interesting stuff. Always had to keep a finger in the pages with the bikes or something to quickly flip back to in case somebody came into the room while you were looking at enema equipment, or lingerie.
The one type of enema bag from days past that I have never tried is a JBL. Of those that I have tried, I miss the amber latex bags, sometimes called folding syringes or travel syringes. Over the years I have had several of them.I read with interest the earlier comment by eDaddy about using the Shy douche syringe for enemas. I bought one thinking it would make a good travel syringe, being small and with it’s own case. I didn’t like it for two reasons. You can’t control the flow very well. If I remember right, the flow starts when you push the nozzle into the neck of the filled bag. It is either on or off. No flow rate control. And, how do you hold it? I tried laying on my back and holding it like a basketball between my legs Very awkward. I never did find a good position that was comfortable and effective. That is one kind I would not buy again.
I did have a JBL knockoff and had some fun with it prior to a leakage issue. The shy syringe wasn't very practical unless someone else could manipulate it.I would have to consider a lifetime supply of those various latex folding or travel syringes that evoke some special involuntary reactions for all genders!
I remember back in the 60's seeing a display of red rubber enema bags in the window of our local drugstore. I thought it strange and now I think that was Hot! My friend Jeff thought it was hot also. Don't know if he ever got one from his mom?
I'd love to have a variety of colored bags and sizes. I pick up odd colors when I find them out in the wild.
If I could travel back in time, I would buy things other than enema equipment. Stock shares, Star Wars figures (and leave them unopened), video games, original Apple computers, bet on sports, etc.Then I would take my fortune and spent part of it on a realistic fantasy health clinic where I could play host to all the enemas and exam scenarios I want. Hell, I'd invite all of Zity over to play. 😆
If I could travel back - I'll like to go back to the time when I discarded my large collection of enema bags and equipment in an effort to give up taking enemas -- both proved futile; giving up enemas and collecting enema bags.
I would probably have to go back 60 years. I would buy 100 Kotex belts & a gross of belted Kotex boxes of pads. Super size them & make them overnighters.
