Shower Enema/Equipment

I have given myself a few "shower" enemas in the past. Never been able to really get the same satisfaction as when I am in the tub or laying on the ground.

Will second that. Can't relax completely.

Nothing beats the bag, prep, soap, smell rubber, etc.

Some of these ignorant replies have really made me laugh. Bottom line, it is NOT dangerous IF done properly and with caution. Of course anyone shoving the hose up their ass and then turning on the faucet will hurt themselves but that's not how you do it so I recommend anyone speaking against it actually watch a video or go out and buy one and try it before making all these erroneous claims.

I have made and used shower nozzles for years and gave up a long time ago trying to answer the fears of those that have phobic fears of them. All I can say is that you must have buns of steel!!! For me, holding a big enough enema to do harm is exactly as likely as me saying that I'm just going to hold my breath until I die...and then doing it. Sorry to bust your bubble but it just doesn't happen unless you are plugged with a BIG inflatable nozzle. When I do shower enemas I KNOW when I have all I can hold because I start leaking like a sieve!!! If I don't stop and go to the toilet the leak becomes a flood and soon there is more coming out than is going in. My asshole just isn't capable of holding enough pressure to harm me with regular non-inflatable nozzles. My personal plumbing has a valve that controls both pressure AND temperature as well. I'm 56 years old and have yet to have a shower suddenly scald me by changing itself. My wife does occasionally chill me by turning on the washer while I'm showering but I can't make the water get significantly hotter by running the cold water. If you have a shower that is doing sudden pressure and temperature changes, you need a plumber...or an exorcist!!

For a fast cleanup or a touchup, shower shot can work for me. Just be sure the water pressure / temp don't suddenly shift if someone flushes the toilet or runs another shower on the same plumbing line.

I do shower enemas quite often and never stick any thing into me. I have a "Teledyne Water Pic" shower head in a hose. It has a large ring around the shower head that when you turn it the shower spray turns into 4 jets. You point the jet at your anus and relax. When everything is right water will enter your body. When the water is going in will stimulate your sphincter and the urge to expel pretty strong. It really feels good. I don't think I have ever taken over a cup of water. I do this during my shower after a good bowel movement. This will complete your evacuation as you never empty during a normal BM. Absolutely safe and very enjoyable.

First, I very much agree that much care should be taken when using water flowing from a shower hose to your colon, which can be potentially dangerous. That is why I put together a device that works for me but I am not recommending others use my method. I am comfortable using this device and here is the basic setup.

I have assembled a device of my own that uses a variable 2 way diverter that I hook one side up to a clear hose (available at hardware stores) and the other to a hose and hand held shower head. The variable diverter uses a lever that allows you to control the exact amount of water going to either the hose or the shower head.

At the end of the clear hose I put cone shaped connector which I allows me to put on a colon tube. I start the water and adjust the diverter so that water flowing to the colon tube is about like the flow from a bag. The rest of the water goes to the shower head.

This setup is nice because you can take as many enemas or allow the flow as long as you want without having to worry about messing with a bag. This device is quick to set up and take a part for cleaning. It is now my preferred way to to take my enemas.

OK, here is the solution for all you naysayers and pressure worriers for the shower shot type enemas.

People who needlessly worry about plumbing and water contamination still won't be satisfied.

You will need a little mechanical know-how.

The concept is to have a "pressure relief" for water if the pressure inside the colon gets too high.

You will need three hoses. Their lengths will vary depending on your needs.

The first hose is connected to your shower head (or from a separate shower hose valve coming from your wall plumbing).

Let that hose from the shower head fall to the floor level in the tub or shower stall.

To that hose, connect a "Y" connector and leave it on the floor.

The second hose is connected to the "Y" and the end of the hose is held up to whatever height you might hang your bag if you were standing in the shower 3-4-5 feet, whatever you like.

Unless you want to hold that hose, tie it to something. 😁 😁 😁 😁

The third hose is also connected to the "Y" and goes to your nozzle, whatever you want to use.

Water should flow freely from the first hose into the "Y" and then into hose #2 and hose #3 at the same time. That's how the pressure relief works.

Now you can set the water just about any way you want, and when the pressure inside your colon is higher than the pressure in the second hose, water will spray out the top of the second hose as a colonic pressure relief.

You can test how it works by holding your finger over the end of the tube that goes up your butt, when you do that, the water will come out the "relief hose" at a pressure determined by how high you hang the outlet/end of that hose.

There you go!

I love my Shower Shot. I use it daily and when I want a complete filling, I have a large nozzle that I use for a high enema.

I don't have a large bathroom so I can't lie down, when I have had enemas that way, getting up is a problem. Either the nozzle come out and I leak or I expel some when getting up even with the nozzle in me. So for now I love my Shower Shot. You have to be careful with the pressure, I let mine trickle in and it takes about 5 minutes to fill me.

When I used to travel a lot, I used the shower hose found in almost every European hotel. Unscrew the shower head, hold the hose up close to your bunghole, and warm water just slid right in. It was not the same as a red bag, but you could get quite a flush out after 3-4 cycles. That, and a date with Mary Fivefingers, and it was sleepy time after an Atlantic crossing.

I often take a "faucet" enema when time is short. Most of the time when filled I just remove the tube from the adapter (water continues to flow), clamp the end and quick step to the toilet. There are times when I stand in the tub using the same setup which would be very much like a shower shot and just repeatedly fill and expel until throughly cleaned out. There are just not to many ways I don't enjoy an enema or two or half dozen! 😁

I use a shower shot daily. If you have a single lever shower control, many of them now have a temp control in them. That way the water will only vary in temp about a degree or so. So if someone flushes the toilet or turns on the washer, dishwasher or something else, the single lever faucet changes the amount of hot or cold water coming out. Also you can adjust the flow rate some. that way you will only get the amount you want flowing into your bum.

There are many ways to prevent the worry about rupture and just some common sense will work wonders. I don't have a single lever shower faucet, but by adjusting each faucet to a very low flow, I get what I want.

You can't add anything to the water going in, so a quick flush with a shower shot and then fill yourself with a bag or whatever you are using. I find the Sun shower bags to be great. You can get them in 4 or 5 gallons and so you can fill and refill over and over until it is all gone. They are not expensive and some even have a temp indicator on them, so you know just how hot the water is.

I love mine.

I find just taking the head off my shower hose works just fine with just a little care in positioning the stream properly - actually quite satisfactory and very convenient. 😃

Shower shots can be hot, but they're much harsher than a bag. For me, anyway. Love to see the bag, as well, something not done with a shower shot. It's great after cleaned out first, then use the shower shot for an hour or so.....very nice.

Seems like you would make a mess in the shower unless you removed the grate from the outlet. Any thoughts about this?

I do enjoy using the shower head. Our old one had a low pressure and I could just press it up against my opening, get a seal and gradually add water. I would wash my hair and add a bit more until I had enough.

I would hold on until I shut the shower off and sat down.

Our new shower head is smaller, has a longer hose and a quick coupler I added in case I want to use the hose intead.

Having done it for years, I cannot see what the huge concern is about. It's simple, easy, and I'm in complete control.

Best if you use something other than a metal pot....maybe something in ceramic or glass?

Does anyone else enjoy useing the shower hose for an enema

i sometimes put it on full will this cause any problems? none have occered so far accept a sore anus. it allows you to have a large enema very quick. my belly is ussually distended within 30 seconds. does any one else enjoy doing this?

I'll restate what others have said on other similar threads: Typical residential water pressure is about 60 PSI. That is WAY more than enough to rupture your colon, leading to peritonitis and most likely death. I have had it twice (NOT induced by this means!) One time I was hospitalized for 2 months, the other 3 1/2 months, and almost died both times. Is a little bit of enema fun worth this risk? I think not!

Be safe out there!

I made a shower Setup for enemas using an old shower sprayer Cut off the sprayer,connected a shutoff for water control and connected a douche nozzle for enemas

Well i might stick to just using a bag now but i have been doing this for over a year now and have had no problems but your right its not worth the risk. i mean theres plenty of other ways to fill my colon with out risking a rupture. just out of curiosity how did you rupture your colon if it wasnt by using the sower hose

Just a suggestion. Use common sense. If you cannot control flow pressure, do not attempt -- find another way (there's a shower douche available that has an overflow drain tube and a control for rate of flow -- look for threads giving details on this site). If you can control pressure, record the time it takes to fill a quart or 2-quart jug at LOW pressure. This will give you an idea how long it will take to get a safe enema (but you may need a waterproof stopwatch 😁). Also watch the temperature. If the shower temperature is increased if someone in your house or apartment flushes a toilet, make sure you are home alone. Personally, I use a bag in the shower because I can only control temperature, but not pressure at my shower. It's easy to refill the bag if you want more with no risk.

I prefer the shower to take a 2 quart or more, if you leak it is easy clean-up. as for the shower hose for enema try the shower shot, i have seen it a few times in videos, looks effective.

I have tried this shower nozzle thing and yes it is a blast but I also have seen the effects that if you don't use commen sense what it can do.

a few years back I saw a video theeat was useless junk and this guy ruptured his colon and died a couple of days latter so you really need to find a better delivery system.

watch your health is paramount 😎

I agree the shower is convenient, but have only used bag in there.

Answer to how I ruptured mine(I think I misspoke, was actually small intestine, but effect was the same): First was at age 15, secondary to blocked intestine due to a congenital defect. Second was in 1995, due to an auto accident.

Using a shower water pressure is way too high

absolutely unwise to play this way

I think part of the enjoyment of enemas is the red bag... seeing filling hanging and then laying there watching it empty and feel it water going in my ass.
