Shower Enema/Equipment

Besides, internal feeling, how to gage how much water is being taken in for safety and not overriding?

I have timed how long it takes to fill and quart container and use that as a guide when filling with the shower hose. I works well and i just take it easy and slow... If i want a safe, fast fill I will use my enema bag and just hang it a bit higher.

Could you steer me to a handy chlorine filter for a shower head, please?

^^^^ Once again, if you can drink it, you can use it for enemas.

Is the best rule!

Thought of an interesting way to refill my bag without much effort. Disconect the shower head from its hose, place the hose in the bag (it's an open top bag) and use that to refill the bag without standing up.

That's such a good idea that everybody who has taken an enema in the tub knows that. 😁 😁 😁

If you do a search for shower enemas, you'll find numerous variations on the theme of how to do it.

There are even bags with hangers that hold the bag under the shower head.

I remember taking an enema doing just what is being said. Watching the bag all of a sudden it got huge. It like stretched two feet down and all of a sudden popped. Just enough time to close the shower curtain so it didn't go everywhere. I don't think I have seen this mentioned. I have seen bags breaking but not described.

Installed next to the toilet, it's more practical for quick enema. :-\\

THANK YOU FOR THE LINK, BUT THIS IS PLASTIC, NOT REAL CHROME.

I READ THE REVIEWS.

I suppose an advantage of being plastic is if you drop it in the shower or tub, you won't chip any porcelain or tile which could definitely happen if it was heavy, real chrome metal.

That's what i read too ... i don't have one ... i just remember seeing it. It would make since about it being plastic ... so it wouldn't chip the porcelain ... from the reviews i wouldn't buy that one either.

I have solved the problem with water pressure by buying an inline shut off. Home Depot and Lowes sell them. I then bought a 1/2" male adaptor with a tapered end, and a disposable enema bag (amazon or ebay has them). I cut off the hose from the bag and slide it into the adaptor taping the end so it doesn't slide back out the adaptor screws into the shutoff and the shutoff screws into the shower hose after removing the shower head.

This lets me control the pressure safely and the small diameter hose works like a colon tube. I can slowly work it up into the colon for a really good cleanout.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Yankauer catheters. They are normally used with a suction device by emt's, paramedics, and hospital personnel to suction debris from parts of the body, the mouth especially. Depending on the model, there is a small hole that when covered with the finger causes suction, removing the finger pauses the suction from the end of the tool. It could just as well be used as an enema nozzle, that way the flow/pressure could be adjusted by simply covering the vent hole with one's finger. They are cheap, have a barbed fitting that goes on the end of a hose. Just search for "yankauer suction catherators."

NO IT DOES NOT CONTROL PRESSURE.

IT ONLY CONTROLS THE FLOW RATE

THE PRESSURE STAYS THE SAME

This has been discussed several times.

Many of the open colonic systems use yankauer suction tips as catheters/rectal nozzles. They have for decades.

Actually, with the finger off the opening, there is zero pressure, since the water would then be diverted or relieved from the hole, perhaps you are not familiar with the cath, but as an emt you should be.

Lately, I've been hanging my 4 liter Klystra bag from an s shaped hook fastened to the overhead shower head pipe. Using several plastic wire ties to securely fasten the hook, Keeps it securely in place as long as needed.

Hanging directly below the spraying head, the bag is easily refilled by simply pulling the open top slightly back under the shooting stream of water. Using this method, I've been able to take consecutive big , belly swelling enemas while showering, often with a bar of Ivory soap floating in the bag for a more intense sensation.

Although, I have tried this combination with a colon tube, I find that a large silicone nozzle with a retention ball works best as it allows hands free showering and "play".

Modern shower enema systems are not well designed

In the 1970s, there was a shower douche/enema attachment, called the Uniflo, that worked very well and gave a gentle flow just like a bag, hung about 3 feet high. It even had provisions for the addition of a douche medication (or liquid enema soap) I just loved it and had one in my shower for years I don't think the device lasted long in the marketplace because the valve assembly attached before the shower head and it's purpose was obvious.

With such devices there is always the “yukk” factor…. does the user get out of the shower and sit on the toilet after the fill, or do they just let go. I'd expect most all users just let go.

I have a shower-shot enema attached to the shower. The toilet is next to the tub and shower, and the hose from the shower-shot is long enough so I can use it sitting on the toilet. With my hernia that causes constipation, this setup is really something I treasure and use normally in the morning and then at night. I don't take large enemas with it, just need to press the tip into me and shoot enough water up to get things going. I repeat the process for each sitting till I'm pretty well cleaned out.

Bring this up because there have been questions about contamination of a well with fecal bacteria from using a shower shot. I'm selling my house, and a well water inspection was required. I have been using a showershot for 20-years and was a bit concerned after reading this thread. The water test came back perfect.

I'll have to find the link but I purchased a shower attachment device from the UK some 10 years ago that has a real pressure regulator built in, you can set the pressure from .5 to 2 - I'm assuming it's in lbs but not sure. You can easily stop the flow with your finger so I'm fairly certain it's safe. We use it all the time for our little get togethers. It was not cheap the cost was around $ 80, I'm sure it will be over a hundred now. I'll see if I can find the web site - stay tuned…

I have a stainless steel enema nozzle simply screws onto my hand held shower tube and I sometimes will use it to give myself a quick enema in the shower. The only disadvantage is that it is hard to tell how much I am taking but it does have a flow adjustment. But when I am taking a series of enemas, I will also just let out my final rinse enema out in the shower.

@tucker99 …… what goes down the shower drain is the same thing that goes down the toilet…. And all of that goes down the sewer to be processed as reclaimed water for irrigation. NONE of it (thank God and civil engineers) goes back into the drinkable water supply.
