Do glycerin suppositories really work

I have tried glycerin suppositories several time and nothing has really happens. Am I doing something wrong?

Probably not. They don't work all that well for me either. I make my own huge ones. You could try using more of them.

They will pretty much cause evacuation of the lower rectum within an hour. If you're blocked higher, they don't do much at all.

I never tried glycerine but bisacodyl aka ducolax didn't do anything for me either until I discovered pushing them way up made all the difference.

You may want to insert more than one and like Grace1 says..depth matters.

How far should I insert it?

I never tried glycerine but bisacodyl aka ducolax didn't do anything for me either until I discovered pushing them way up made all the difference.

Grace1 -- Absolutely correct approach to ensure satisfactory results....As one may or may not realize,there are many excellent articles submitted here as to this "correct" methodology in ensuring that peristaltic action required to facilitate adequate clearance...

Of recent times there has also been considerable discussion as to the use of tubular plastic suppository applicators (integrated piston plungers) a one "click" and ya done you could say !!...Obviously the primary purpose (function) of such applicators there being high placement --- Although that may be dependant on what one wishes to achieve there ?? Whether it be for medical (health management) reasons,or simply ones own personal pleasure !!...A "YouTube" moment....Notably these particular instruments have been readily available for decades....A simple search under "topics" should satisfactorily address one's curiousity i should think !!

As to their potential use in serving a secondary function... mmmmmm ! well I guess ones imagination comes into play there ??.. For example if one were to load up,then leave in place for say 30 /40 plus minutes who knows what may eventuate let alone come to pass -- aaaah !! so many wicked deviations on offer, not that I'd know much about this !! (smiles)...Yeah admittedly these missile launchers also have a place in collection of therapeutic toys,as one never knows when they may be required to be put into service .....Geez aren't bums fun -- Yep, ultimately in the end it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I just put 2 up my bum to get a bm. Although I had tried the glycerin suppose before without the expected result, this time I just used my handy finger and pushed it in as far as my middle finger could push it in. That was only about 10 minutes ago, and I can start to feel the urge to go, but I will wait just a little longer...

@ Scubaman

I used a plug that was longer than my finger to insert it..I wish i could take credit for the cleverness but it was suggested by someone else with far more experience in anal activities than myself.

Yes they do! I just had a good bm about one hour ago, and all came out.

You bet they work at least they do for me, and it doesn't take that long for me either. Grace is also right to say that you have to push it up there.

To be effective the medicine in a suppository has to come into contact with the rectal mucosa, not just the anal canal. Usually a person can insert them far enough by themselves but sometimes a helper is needed to get adequate penetration.

I use my aneros to help.

I recommended this in a much earlier post. It is apparently important that the suppository come into contact with the bowel lining proper; whether glycerin or bisacoydl. Although the new Dulcolax Applicators will suffice, another option is going on Amazon.com and ordering a vaginal crème inserter. They are a little longer and more sturdy. This will place the suppository up where it should be.

I make my own suppositories from a bar of Neutrogena soap. They are much more effecive (burn a little) than commercial glycerin suppositories and are fun to make. Make sure to round off all edges with a knife.

Do not use any lubricant, just wet with tap water

The inserters used for vaginal medicated suppos are perfect for rectal ones too. The old Norforms vaginal deodorant suppositories looked almost like a Starfleet badge and had a forked sort of inserter that folded to fit the box. Were effective at causing a bm but could burn a bit.

I have never used them myself. only when i was little my mother adminsitered them for constipation. i want to use them for fun but i don't know how to buy them because i am only 15. i am new to zity.biz can someone tell me how to get points

I don't know where you're from ncx13, but in the UK you can buy glycerin suppositories off the shelf in many supermarkets and discount stores. You'll find them alongside other laxative products like Ex-Lax, Dulcolax and Senokot.

I use two or three at at a time and they work, but are not all that strong for me. I use the Fleet liquid glycerin "suppositories" and they have more bang for the buck. I have used either time as a warmup for a nice warm 1 or 2 liter enema with good results.

If you use Glycerine Suppositories too many times you are desensitized and they do not work so it is enema time.

I like to use suppositories every few days.

I would say yes they do work but as Jds4mds said they work best when the poop is in the lower rectum- it will get a BM going for sure. If you are much more constipated further up the colon then suppositories will be much less effective.

When I insert the suppository and I can feel some poop in the rectum then I know I will get a good result.

They don't really work for me, although liquid glycerin does. So I'm hooked on bisacodyl.

I have been getting suppositories since true infancy for life long constipation problems.To this day they still work on me.Once inserted I can only last 30-45 minutes be I must go.I do also get enemas since toddlerhood age,still to this day.

I have to disagree with you analee, I have been using a gly suppository daily for many yrs and they still work very well I just have to retain for an hour

Glycerin suppositories don't work for me either. They never did.

I have found they work very well if you are constipated and you can feel the shit inside you with a finger, if you havnt been for a time, but theres nothing within reach, then no, they dont work.

I suppose that you will have to distinguish:

- In using glycerin suppositories it is the best to insert these ones directly with a finger in the anus.

- In using Dulcolax suppositories the results will be far more efficient when you will insert these ones by the help of an applicator in the higher rectum.

In my experience they work for mild to moderate cases of constipation. I find that enemas are much more effective for more serious cases. Glycerin suppositories are the only ones that I use. Bisacotyl (dulcoLax, etc.) create a burning sensation when I used them so have discontinued using them. I find glycerin suppositories most useful if I'm pressed for time and makes soapsuds enemas impractical. My usual routine would be to insert the suppository before taking my shower in the morning which gives the glycerin a chance to work by the time I'm out of the shower. My experience for what it's worth.

Try sticking the suppository on the end of a soda straw. isnsert it gently into the rectum. when you feel it "bump" give the straw alittle twist and wiggle and suppository will come free and be inserted deep. then slide the straw back out! OR try making a soap stick suppository from a bar of soap, cut a chunk of and soften it a little in warm water and shape it and then insert it deep. OR melt some suppository's using a double boiler. DO NOT PUT IN THE MICROWAVE, pour the liquid in the fingers of a rubber glove. let it harden and then peel the rubber glove fingers from the suppository. VIOLA! large size adult suppository's!

If the glycerin suppositories are not working, try the liquid glycerin ones. When I inject the liquid glycerin into my ass, I am going within 3 or 4 minutes. The liquid ones work very well.
