Shower Enema/Equipment

We just bought and installed one of those pulsating showre heads, I thought I would try to clean up y pooter prior to using a soapy wash cloth so I didn't have to work so hard to assure that the cloth was clean afterwards. Wow what a thrill, that is now a part of my daily shower.

I make an arrangement of a hand shower tube connected through a cut-off to a 48" Harris Flush tube. The Harris Flush is only a 1/4" diameter. Between it and the cut-off I can control the flow - that's how i can take a continous enema while sitting on the toilet without worrying about too much too fast. I can let the flow out as I progress the tube up into my colon. I've gotten over 36 inches in. It is neat to feel the valves in the colon as it progresses. It is self lubricating since water is continously flowing at a slow rate so there is little chance of perferation - the danger of long tubes in the ass! I can lay down in the shower, or stand, and let it fill. I put a y connector on it so i can feed it high up, then switch to a bag for intersting solutions - cold water, oil, glycerine water, or soapy water.

When i have expelled everything i expect to, I stop the flow, and let the water inside drain out as i remove the tube so i have no unexpected retained solution.

I would not use a shower shot since the pressure can't be controlled.

I like the shur-shot for a couple of quick douches of only a few ounces. I added a small taste & odor filter (intended for an icemaker) to the connection and placed a small-orifice flow restrictor in the line to set the flow between two and three ounces per second.

Since our city water pressure varies from day to night, I check the flow rate. I aim the shur-shot into an 10oz water tumbler and count the seconds it takes to fill the glass, then know how long to shoot myself.

I'd not recommend the shur-shot for a conventional enema -- there's little clue on how much one is taking and, the pressure cannot be controlled as well as with a gravity bag.

Late Edit: As with other 'hard connections' to our home water system (dish-washer, spa & pool fill, garden sprinklers, etc.) our shower shooter has a non-return valve and vacuum breaker where the valve ties into the shower arm.

Yes, I use my shower set up and quite frankly can fill myself much fuller than when I lay down on my side. When using it I will shower and keep warm and massage my stomach to get a full strong enema.

I discovered the thrill of the shower massage awhile ago. Try using the regular spray to stimulate your nipples and genital area first. It is a nice prelude to using the pulsating setting to open the anus for a nice filling. You can also try the single harder stream for a quicker, more vigorous enema. You should be careful to adjust the pressure and temperature so it is not too hot or strong.

I love doing shower enemas and get quite huge.

I have removed the shower head and stuck the end ot the shower hose up my butt it was a very fast enema.

Don't do that while on vacation in a hotel. Everyone who has had your room before you has had that hose up their ass.

Yeah ive done it before, you have my make sure the pressure is low or you'll get cramps fast!

"Don't do that while on vacation in a hotel. Everyone who has had your room before you has had that hose up their ass."

How on earth do you figure that?

Yes, I have used a shower to fill myself. I really enjoyed it, but like others have said, you have to be sure not to overfill yourself. Personally, I didn't find that a problem, when I felt full enough I stopped! I guess I've done enough enemas to know my capacity.

I strongly recommend using a pressure limiting valve and a temperature limiting cut off device if you try the shower enema. As has been said before, too much pressure can cause mechanical harm to your colon and too hot water can cause burns too serious to mention.

Pressure and temperature devices are available from good plumbing supply stores.

I sometimes like to use the bag in the shower after a preliminary cleanout. Just keep using and refilling the bag while standing under the running shower. Quite pleasant to be filling and releasing simultaneously!

For getting really cleaned out, I prefer the shower enema. I especially enjoy spewing it all out, but don't like getting shit in the shower, or having it go down the shower drain, so I have a bucket for that. For sexual excitement, I prefer the bag, with a BIG nozzle. I like the idea of the Higginson, but so far have had problems keeping the inlet hose in the water.

I don't like the usual commercial shower setup, I prefer http://www.zity.biz/index.php?mx=album;ox=showitem;c=3795;id=64451;sort=date;sorto=DESC

My own design that can attach to most any sink, including hotels. Since the valve has a very small hole it helps to limit the water pressure. Any standard nozzle will attach to the hose giving you a lot of freedom. The hose is a common vinyl hose found at hardware store 20 foot for 3 to 5 bucks.

If you already have the commercial set up in the shower this can also be attached in place of the metal hose. For a cleanout nothing beats just sitting on the toilet and letting the water flow, if the sink is close by you can easily vary the temperature.

Never Never use any of these with a retention nozzle!

Big fan of the shower enemea. Went ahead and bought a sure-shot. It's nice, but I do wish it had a longer cord. Also, I think for most people, your normal tap water has enough natural salts in it to keep it from robbing you of electrolytes. I wouldn't want to take multiple large deep enemas with deionized water, w/o adding salt or drinking something to replenish my electrolytes.

I have done shower enemas many times. I love to stick the hose in me and fill until I can't hold any more and then let it run our while the hose just keeps filling me.

Anyone can double the length of a shower shot by buying a second hose and a 1/2-inch to 1/2-inch male-male connector at any home improvement, hardware or plumbing supply store. Just remove your nozzle, screw the connector onto the end of your existing hose, then screw the new hose onto the other end of the connector, then screw your nozzle into the other end of the new hose using plumber's teflon tape around the threads.

As long as you're doing this, you should seriously consider adding a shut-off valve at the same time. You can place it between the shower head diverter and the the first hose, between the two hoses as I chose to do, or between the end hose and the nozzle.

Please read my post in Habits on 10-4-11 about safety of using a shower enema! You need protection against high pressure and high temperature.

I have been enjoying morning shower enemas for the last 10 years. Like others have said, you have to know your limits. When I travel, I made my own shower enema hose. It consists of a 1/2" brass ball valve to control water pressure and a 1/2" to a 3/8" white plastic tubing barbed fitting and about 4' of 3/8" clear plastic tubing..and I carry a pair of channel lock pliers to take the motel's shower head off. Then, I simply screw on the ball valve. I got all of my parts at Lowes or Home Depot for under $20..I set the temperature from the motel's faucet and control pressure with the ball valve and you are in business. I usually have a column of water about 3"-4" so I know my pressure is low and can take a gentle low pressure enema..Works great for me.. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

You may miss out on electrolytes using tap water.

There are so many different kinds of tools to use in the shower that it is hard not to pass them up now and then. Once I am running clear I like to shower and just let the water run in and out at the same time.

A variation of a shower shot is a cup with a soft hose attached that can be found in most hardware stores. I start the water slowly, and advance the hose up as I go, and the water flows out at the same time. The pressure is really good, as is the ability to change the temperature as I go. There is something incredible about feeling the water flowing out at the same time as you are filling. Obviously common sense in how much water and how much pressure to use.

I have used a garden hose attached to a cold water faucet. That was an interesting experience, but don't have a shower kit. I really prefer a nice, relaxing warm water (soapy or not) enema. I also enjoy coffee enemas.

I've been dying to try the shower shot but am more concerned with the disposal of waste in my bathtub drain. climbing in and out of the shower to empty on the toilet is inconvenient enough that i just get the bag and hose out and use regular enemas. does anyone ever have the bathtub drain get blocked over time?

This is what I have been using. It works just fine, but it's hard to get a very gentle pressure so it usually causes cramping. And yes, because you have to stand in the shower to do it, it's not really relaxing.

The shower works but pressure can be a problem, sometimes I lay on my back and let it work more like a colonic

O heck YES and I love it!

"does anyone ever have the bathtub drain get blocked over time?"

No. Before beginning, remove the screws holding the drain cover in place and set it aside. After expelling, use the the stream from the shower shot nozzle to push anything solid into the drain. After you get all the water out, shower thoroughly. The water from the rinses and the shower dissolves anything solid and it all goes into the same sewer drain as your toilet.

I have used the flexible shower nozzle hose in western European countries when I didn't have my enema bag (and I was sure that the water was safe)
