Cramps and Enemas

Supposedly the "official" dose of castile is about 9mL per liter, or about 2 teaspoons per quart. A capful of the quart bottles is about 9mL.

I hate using the cap as a measuring device.

The inside of the cap (the threaded part) OBVIOUSLY gets wet by the soap and after you pour the soap into the mixing vessel, you have to wash out the cap or else the soap remaining on the inner walls of the cap drips down the side of the bottle.

I admit it, I am an OCD clean freak. I hate a mess.

I probably wouldn't use it if I didn't have an open top bag. Pour the soap in, reach in with the cap, swish swish and you've cleaned the cap and mixed the solution.

I wouldn't do that if the soap bottle was general use and getting gunk all over the outside, but the cap stays clean (the soap we use for washing is poured into another dispenser). Refilling that is the part that bugs me - the soap drips down the side of the big bottle and it's not nearly as easy to clean up.

I think the cramps are necessary at some level, they dont need to be extreme but it shows the enema is working

As a 9-12 year old boy, I never expierienced literal cramps,but the sensations of pressure/fullness,and the Castille soapywater solution that really stimulated my g.i.tract, made for a quite uncomfortable enema every time.But both the 1 qt of solution (40 ozs @ age 11 on) and it always being Castille soapy water at 104 F.was specified by the Pediatricuan (1959-63)

At times I experience cramps form soapsuds enema depending how constipated I am and how the enema is being given. I have always had cramps from milk and molasses enemas and the enemas that follow them.

Anybody who claims they don't get cramps from an M&M is speaking with a forked tongue and deserves to grow a Pinocchio nose!

I don't like cramps, and just as I have never had a bulb enema, I have never had a M&M enema.

I've never been a big fan of cramps, but they're easily enough achieved with just a bit of extra soap. While occasionally cramps are good for discipline or punishment -- sometimes a wee bit of good, strong cramping fixes bad attitudes right up -- most of our enemas are large, effective, but not crampy.

@SwitchableSusie,

I've got hemorroids from serious constipation when I was a teenager with mumps: will the cramping create possible difficulties. I like playing anally. I want my partner/wife to have fun without the poop mess to deal with.

I don't even mind some moderate cramping. What is the best process for a thorough cleaning with limited possibilities of flushing the upper colon during play? How long in advance should I prep?

Hate to interupt "cramps", but i have recently observed a phenomena; our SAFEWAY store is not longer carrying Fleet Enemas or any other kind of bottle enema. WTFO??

My Dad worked at a grocery store much of the time I was growing up. If there was a drug store in the same shopping center, and the store itself was tight on space, most Safeways are upwards of 40,000 sq Ft, they may have decided to focus on higher profit items.

I enjoy mild cramping from time to time. It also depends on what is in my bag...sometimes the solution is the reason and the resulting cramping is expected and wanted... ?

For me an enema without cramps isn't worth it. My enema fetish is heavily BDSM related and therefore the cramps provide that punishment element to it. I love the feeling of helplessness as the cramps hit me and the double balloon nozzle prevents any respite whatsoever.

Boxcar, maybe SAFEWAY has finally started the campaign against disposable enemas.

A mild cramping will always cleanse your colon in a comfortable manner.

Cramps are part of the enema just curl your toes and pant like a puppy they usually subside.😃

Nurse Angie hung the hospital enema bag beside the bed and after all these years I remember some of what she said as she was putting the tube up my behind: "Darlin' this can cause cramps like your worst period, but what's stuck in here needs to come out. Take deep breaths. Tell me to stop if it gets too much." It was painful. I even cried. After that I didn't want a second enema, but Angie assured me it would it was needed to "flush out the rest," and that's when it felt sooo good.

I've had them all, from the mild cramps that tell you your colon is working, though the cramps where you alternate between gritting your teeth and panting (all the while your toes are curled as far as they'll go), to the ones where you're doubled over on the toilet just wondering when it will be over. Sometimes I'll even have an enema when I don't get cramps.

The odd thing is that I can't pin down what it will be exactly before I take the enema. Sometimes it's obvious - when I took Susie's Very Rough Ride I had the doubled-over-moaning cramps, but I've also had those with reasonable concentration soapsuds solutions. I'll make up the same solution another time and it will be mild cramps. I guess it depends on how my bowel is "feeling" that day and what's already in it.

Like Vicki sometimes (most of the time) you don't really want the cramps (or most of you doesn't), but you want the results. Sometimes, especially when I know I haven't been doing what I'm supposed to, it's a kind of penance, especially when they're the "Grit the teeth, curl the toes, and pant" cramps. Sometimes I don't doubt that there's a S/M component, showing my body who's boss.

In any case I much prefer cramps to those awful enemas where it goes in and stays in, making you more bloated and you can feel the water sloshing around. No matter how much you try you only get little squirts out. I HATE those enemas.

I do not like cramps and fortunately they no longer occur as I give myself a 4-5 qt filling slowly using a long colon tube.

I agree, if I want an enema with very little cramping its easily done, if I am being given them as "play" then can make them cramp badly.

I am definitely a cramp girl. I have found, through the years, that the cramping, seems to intensify my orgasms. That being said, not all my enemas are M&M enemas (I have such a love/hate thing going with my M&M's). But, all have something in them, to help me cramp.

No two enemas are ever exactly alike, and I use the level of cramping as a gauge to indicate how well I'm doing with retention, and also how well the enema is working.

Not a hard-and-fast rule but generally the worse the cramping the more actual poop comes out when it gets to where I really can't hold it any more.

I pride myself on being able so take a bisacodyl mini-enema, then 10 minutes later or less a 3-qt Epsom Salt and Soapsuds enema, and retain all of that 15 minutes after the complete injection of the 3-qt enema, which is hung at a height that will normally produce a flow of about a quart per minute.

I always wait until the cramping reaches the point that there is no more holding it.

So, cramping is my indicator gauge as to how each individual enema is progressing. It is the best gauge I have found so far.

I really like Lisa’s response. It’s an effective enema. And a good feeling after

Yes, I need cramps; but also need powerful expulsions to accompany them. My last enema a week ago was a complete dud - some cramps, but it was like the enema had gotten stuck inside me. Even taking a second strong Ivory soap enema didn't do it. Strange how that happens.

I'm not into heavy cramps or anything that is very painful. However, I do like the one or two waves of nausea I get expelling my enema. It makes me double over and hold my abdomen, but it feels so good and is a unique experience. This nausea is not like the kind you get when you are sick or getting sick. That's the bad kind. But this feels good.

Anyone else ever get that kind of nausea?

I have gotten your kind of nausea, as well as the kind that leads to vomiting, and I'm not a big fan of either. As a matter of fact I pretty much hate them. I'd rather deal with heavy cramps - that's straight pain and I know how to handle it. Most of the time I'm fine with mild "enema working" feelings though.

Nausea is tricky, and it used to get it and break out in a sweat, and felt like I was going to pass out..... this all stopped once I had open-heart artery graft bypass surgery. I have a feeling my nausea and sweats were indicative of my artery blockage...

For me, cramping or pain isn't an intended part of my enemas. I have always felt they should be enjoyed. Certainly, when trying to add more fluid than I normally take, some cramping happens. Been taking enemas for over 60 years and I still enjoy the flow.

A slight nausea is no big deal, but when it gets to the point that there is any real chance of vomiting, that's your body telling you that you have already overdone it, and you need to take a break.

I almost always take enemas on an empty stomach, so I almost never get more than mild to occasionally moderate nausea.

If it gets as far as moderate, I wait for the nausea to fully subside before taking another round.

Enemas and cramps belong together. So you can feel that the enema and the soapy water really works. All in all, the constipation dissolves very well and you are really relieved afterwards.

I always wait until the cramping reaches the point that there is no more holding it.

So, cramping is my indicator gauge as to how each individual enema is progressing. It is the best gauge I have found so far.
