Thought I would add my first-time experience with bananas.
I started my morning with a coffee enema followed by a saline (important later) rinse. I found some average sized bananas that were greenish-yellow, firm and definitely not ripe but not completely green either. Peeled them, broke them in half, and put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. In the meantime, I inserted a butt plug to help loosen myself up. When it came time for insertion, I dipped the bananas in glycerin and went for it. The first one went in rather easily, thanks to the butt plug prep. The bananas were firmed up from the freezer, cold but definitely not frozen. So I kept dipping halves in glycerin and inserting more. After three halves, I was pretty full. The fourth refused to go in and ended up in a mushy mess on the floor. Luckily I laid down a towel to catch the mess. I inserted the butt plug to “make room” and then kept going with the bananas. All told, I managed to get in 4 ½ bananas for my first time. It felt amazing to stick a finger in myself to feel the cold and mushy bananas. The urgency and fullness was quite nice so I inserted the butt plug to keep the sensations going.
I laid down for a bit. Despite the plug, I still seemed to be leaking banana so I had to lay down a towel. I held it for 40 fun minutes, after which precum was flowing liberally. But when I went to expel, only a few chunks of banana and some mush came out. I would guess the equivalent of 1 banana, at most.
At this point I started to worry. I know everyone says bananas are safe, they'll turn to mush and eventually come out. But I became convinced I would be the first person to go to ER for this. After two hours, nothing was coming out. So I tried a strong 1 quart enema of epsom salt and glycerin to help. I could barely get in half of it. And still no banana sighting.
I think my extended time with butt plug caused the bananas to form a solid mass just beyond my sigmoid. I was also somewhat dehydrated and, coupled with my earlier saline enema cleanout, I think my colon might have been a tad dry. So I was feeling rather bloated and constipated.
I went for a 30 minute walk hoping to jostle things loose. No dice. Six hours after the initial banana insertion, I was lying on my right side when my stomach gurgled loudly, followed by a water cooler sound. I've never been so relieved to pass gas. I didn't have to go, but at least the blockage was cleared!
I tried another 1 quart enema and was able to take it all this time. When it came time to expel, some mushed up banana came out. But still not the quantity I was hoping. I went to bed. Over the course of the night, I went to the bathroom several times to expel small quantities of fluid. This might have been dissolved banana, but it also might have been aftereffects of the glycerin enema.
It wasn't until 44 hours after that initial banana play that I had a normal BM. No sign of the bananas, but I feel fine. All in all, it was fun but a little nerve-wracking when the bananas didn't come out, especially when considering all the stories here where people say they're difficult to retain. If I try it again, I would do the following:
- make sure you're fully hydrated before, during, and after
- REALLY coat the bananas in glycerin, maybe I was too stingy
- stop after 2 bananas. I was being greedy and wanted to see how many I could stuff.
- lay down newspaper for easier cleanup
