Product review - BCD826

I bought the device for someone else, to deal with her incontinence issues. Her problem that she gets the urge to "go" in unexpected times. I looked for a solution for her which won't involve much of a mess and would be practical for travel. I believe I found the thing.

The BCD826 is an enema device. It's basically a jug that can take about 1 litre (32 oz) of water, although the marking on it go only up to 700ml or 24 oz. A hose connector comes out of the bottom part. On top the cap screws in and seals around the opening while two small holes allow air to go in. A pump powered by 2 AA batteries is integrated in the cap to create air pressure above the water, which in turn creates a pressure in the hose. Final control of the water pressure in the nozzle is achieved by a roller clamp.

Pros:

1. Operating the device is very easy. Connect hose, shut clamp, fill water, close cap, bleed air from hose, insert nozzle, turn pump on, release clamp - easy

2. Positive pressure prevents back-flow, the whole thing is pretty hygenic

3. Very fast. The entire container goes in at considerable pressure when the clamp is open all the way

4. Small and inconspicuous enough to travel with

Cons:

1. Because the whole thing is pretty fast, the enema is very noticeable and pressure builds up quickly.

2. Nozzle is pretty small on the stock hoses that come with the device (about 4.5cm)

3. Hose is pretty thin and prone to kinks

4. If you don't stop in time by clamping and the water runs out - you'd have air in your bowels

5. A bit on the expensive side

6. All of the manuals are in Chinese

Considering the cons, it's still a pretty nifty device. It's not meant for long sessions of retaining a solution (although described as used for coffee enema) but rather as a very effective quick constipation cure / clean up and as such it definitely delivers. It is an extremely mess free way to have a nice quick douching. The quantity feels substantial enough to make me enjoy it. You could potentially use the roller clamp to restrict flow further and have a slower enema. A bit of ingenuity can get a better hose connected.

I got mine at Aliexpress, at the following links:

The device comes without any hoses and you want one of those. They come in lots of 20 though and considered disposable (although I don't see any problem reusing if it's the same person and it had a decent wash).

I am not getting any referral or kick-back or anything of the sort for posting this review and I paid the full price for it.

I don't see why this is better than a bag or bulb. It's complicated, needs batteries and it comes from China.

I don't want this to become a defensive thing, but I think that for a 66 y.o. woman it's going to be easier to use when travelling. There's no hassle and nearly no cleaning.

As for country of origin... I will be surprised if any part of your equipment did not come from China.

Who is a 66 year old woman and how can a machine that requires batteries and comes with an owner's manual be easier to use than a bag with no moving parts that a 66 year old woman may have used for 50 years of her life???

Besides, the cons you listed are pretty significant.

Look, Switchable, let's not argue. I understand your opinion and I disagree, and we can leave it at that.

Who is arguing? I just don't like the device for the reasons stated.

Your own list of cons is good enough reason not to like it.

Another gadget, next they'll have an APP to run it with your iPhone. Hey wait a minute, that's not a bad idea so don't be stealing it.

Zenema, Yeah, the iPhone app will control the flow rate and pressure and / or you can set it up with a partner over the internet and give each other the enemas!! 😁

I googled the thing and got the impression that it was developed for coffee enemas.

That would explain volumetric markings up to 700 ml.

A coffee enema is not a large volume enema. Still, the problems with the pressure, kinking hose, tiny nozzle, expense and the possibility of air injection into the colon if you don't turn it off soon enough are enough for me to keep this out of my inventory.

Actually I think it's not really useful for a coffee enema for a different reason - a coffee enema is a retention enema, where you want it warm and gentle with slow flow. The flow is anything but slow with the device. In my opinion it's used to clean the rectum and sigmoid colon and it does that very well.

After two more uses, the hose kinks have proven to be a non-issue. No further issues.

Hey Susie, I know you can actually set up your iPhone to control a specific electrical socket. All you need to do is have the device plugged into the wall and plugged into you and have another person turn it on and off from some remote location. How's that for enema innovations?
