The traditional family drugstore

The drug store that my family used for generations is still in business....a family store owned by about the 3rd generation now.....and yes, they still stock enema bags.

my mom bought the first enema bag used on me as a kid there, i am sure, because we lived in that small town and did all of our pharmacy shopping there....the owners knew mom and her parents as well.

was just thinking about what a turn on it would be to bring a like-minded lady in there who recieived enemas while growing up and purchase a new bag for her.

our family doctor's office was only 2 blocks away and i remember going there, being bare-bottomed over his knee and getting a shot....i also got an enema at home that night too, on top of the table with legs held up in the diapering position.

once saw two white enema nozzles displayed in this same store on a peg hook right at eye level! this was not all that long ago...maybe 5-6 years ago....i knew whoever hung them was also a fetishist...had to be!

We had a Rexall drugstore in our town. It was a typical corner store with one of the famous orange signs with dark blue lettering out front. The druggist wore a white smock and the place had an odd medicinal odor to it. The prescription counter was in the back and the small cosmetic counter was up front. The pharmacist's wife was the cashier and there would be a high school student who would stock shelves and drive the Ford Falcon station wagon making deliveries.

The feminine hygiene aisle was off to the right and that was where you would also find the syringes and hot water bottles. When I was in high school I can remember trying to ignore those the best that I could. The modern pharmacies keep getting bigger and bigger and none have that old charm.

Oh the stories I could tell regarding those mom and pop drug stores. What a wonderful set of memories! I sure miss them and some of those priceless interactions and acquaintances. I have written about a few and many of the memories and stories are based on factual events. Of course, any ultimate fantasies find their way into what could have been, absent being a bit shy and squandering some opportunities. My red, blushing face, and love of those beautiful red implements, has never diminished in over 50 years.

Anyone remember the One Cent sales at Rexall? I don't recall BuyOneGetOne sales back then, but vividly recall the Rexall advertisements with a picture of a Lincoln Penny as the cost of the second item.

We had a Rexall in the town where I grew up. Bought my first enema bag there as well

The store my dad had before the invasion of the big box Walgreens; CVS and alike was just like any other mom and pop corner drug store with soda fountain; pharmacy; gift; sundries; magazines and all the unmentionables never to be mentioned. All the help had to be reminded from time to time that when a customer asked for something and you were not certain about its location or what it was for to ALWAYS ask dad or his pharmacy assistant to take care of the sale. NEVER were you to yell out loud where do I find the Trojans or other similar discrete items! And so it was that no one was embarrassed - the customer especially as well - as well as myself also and the new help we had from time to time. It was interesting the stories and such that we would hear from the customers who came into the store asking for the unmentionable items in low tone voice and looking around to see if anyone was in ear shot range to see what they were buying. The prescriptions went out with a receipt attached to a white bag - the general merchandise was in various sizes of brown paper bags and the unmentionables in a darker colored bag - non transparent/no see thru and given to the customer without so much as a wink of the eye but always a thank you ! But now with the big box stores and the likes of Wal*Mart; Target and others you have to fend for yourself getting the unmentionable items and taking it to a cashier for ringing up and bagging and hoping that no one notices your purchases. Some items go without notice and others well what can I say you have been spotted like a deer in headlights hoping for the best to escape with a touch of red faced embarrassment. Ah those were the days and still the public is embarrassed !

I remember going downtown with my Mom one Saturday morning. While down there Mom said she had to stop by the Rexall drug store. I remember that it had a soda fountain and a drug store smell. Mom went and picked up an orange, red, and black box and went to the counter to check out. Mom did not tell me what was in the box and I did not ask. But, Saturday morning about two weeks later I found out. Mom woke me up and took me into my bathroom. Upon entering I found Mom had prepared an enema for me and the enema bag was hanging above the toilet. Mom told me what she was going to do and told me to lie across the commode. I did and took my enema like a big boy. After I had expelled most of the water, Mom came back in to check on me. She asked me what I thought about it. I told her that it was different, but I liked it and it sure made me crap. Mom giggled. Then, I asked Mom if she would give me another. She did.

I grew up in a small town setting of suburban Washington, D.C., on the Maryland side of the beltway and it was, for me very ¨country¨. We had the small neighborhood drug store as well. I remember when I was a pre-teen/teen Mom sending me on errands occasionally. One time I recall distinctly, she sent me for a new thermometer having dropped and broken one. I walked in and Mr. Goldman greeted me asking me what I needed. I felt myself blush and just answer, ¨A thermometer¨, without giving a specific type. He smiled back, went behind the counter and put the thermometer next to the register, saying, ¨OK, one RECTAL thermometer. Anything else sweetheart?¨ I must have turned six shades of red (and other colors) as 2 kids from the neighborhood who I knew were in the store with their Moms! Still, I would prefer the good ole pharmacy to today´s megas.

Well I have to agree with all of you as to the GOOD OLD DRUG STORE! I don't remember much as a kid going into them an seeing the enema bags . But I do know when I got older . An I was hooked on the enema thing . I couldn't wait to find a Rexall drug store . Luckily their were a few in my area still around . An I also couldn't believe they still had some of the old enema bags and bulbs . Well being 20 an asking for a enema bag sure made me embarrassed . But also in a way love the looks I got from the older women waiting on me . I know they knew I was the one going to use it . An that I'd be getting a nice enema with those bags and bulb syringes . I also got a nice rubber sheet to go on the bed for my enemas. GOD it felt nice laying on that rubber sheet naked an getting a enema .
