Gelatine-based glycerine suppositories

Hello everyone!

I am in the Netherlands and I couldn't help but try the local glycerine suppositories... They are very different from the ones I am used to because they are gelatine-based...

I took one and tried to insert it in my girlfriend anus but they are too soft, even if she's bearing down there's no way it's going in, unless I use lots of Vaseline on her before inserting the suppository. Even in that case the process it's way more difficult than the usual glycerine suppositories.

Maybe I am missing something? Are they meant to be used always on a well vaselined anus? That's seems way unpractical! Are they meant to be maybe kept in the fridge before to make them harder?

Cheers!

I've purchased this type in London. They are like dry, smooth gum drops (like Dots at the movie theater). They come in a very nice rectangular tin and so different from the waxy, greasy, wet american suppositories all jumbled in a jar.

I found if you run them under warm water they become slippery. Because they are so short, they are especially tricky to insert. I would avoid the Vaseline as it's going to interfere with the dissolving and tend to coat the rectum, preventing the glycerine from working it's magic.

Trick I found was to stretch the anus wide with thumb and forefinger, as it tends to help grip the stubby shape, then squeeze the buttocks together a bit to hold it in place until you can use your finger to drive it home. Works great on your partner - hard to insert into yourself.

Nowadays glycerin suppositories in the UK are wrapped in plastic strips enclosed in a cardboard box. The instructions say that they should be dipped in water before insertion. Just dipping the tip in water will provide sufficient lubrication; if they are fully dipped they are too slippery to handle. I've found that they need to be retained for at least 30 minutes for them to melt completely.

I am an American, and the glycerine suppositories that I bought at the local store were perhaps as big around as a pencil and 3/4" or 2 cm long, and pointed on one end. I found them difficult to put in, and having gotten one in, I had to push it in the rest of the way with my finger. They took a long time to work if they worked at all, so I gave up on them and still have about half of the bottle full in my medicine cabinet. I just use enemas now, for they are easier to do, work quicker, are more dependable, and are more enjoyable. I recommend enemas over glycerine suppositories anytime you have a choice.

I have never had any glycerin suppositories other that the ones in the US, although I would like to mess around with the nice nearly clear ones I think you are describing, as my Italian lady friend is a big fan of those.
