Preventive Enemas

She also got a glycerin suppository every morning while they traveled on vacation, so they would not have to stop and find a bathroom during their travels.

My wife would stop at every gas station we pass to pee if I let her!!! Poop stops were not THE problem.

One of my mother's friends knows every gas station on the NY State Thruway, I-91 and I-95

What's worse is when they welcome you by name!!!!

Before a plane trip my wife, daughter and myself would all get enemas to get cleaned out for the trip. back in 1981, my daughter was 8 and had been told the week before vacation that she would be getting an enema before leaving.

a few days after that when I came home from work my wife laughingly told me, "Missy said something REALLY cute today."

"what?" I asked.

she came to me and said, "mommy, i'm looking forward to EVERY part of our trip. I'm even looking forward to my ENEMA!"

Not really a fan of this. Can never say never, but does not seem like anything

Our small country church had less than desirable bathroom facilities. I think in additional to what was considered by my mother and grandmother that enemas were a cure all/ prevent all thing to do, that my weekly enema was done almost always on Saturday night as a preventative measure to need to use the bathroom at church. I also remember before going on long trips that enemas were used to clean out the plumbing!! Denise

My mom gave them to me weekly age 13 to 19

I don’t know why my mom thought it was necessary, but the day before school started in the fall and after Christmas break, I was given a thorough cleaning out. Glycerin suppository first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon. After that had worked it’s magic I got a special enema that made me cramp like the dickens, then a warm soapy enema like normal and a rinse. I was totally worn out when it was done a gladly put on my pjs and went to bed early.

I got an enema once a week no matter what. We didn't usually take long trips but i bet I would have gotten one.

This is most likely fiction, but some time ago I heard that airline flight attendants took enemas before long overseas trips to avoid using the head (toilet) while on the flight. Has anyone else heard the same?

..... I heard that airline flight attendants took enemas before long overseas trips to avoid using the head (toilet) while on the flight.

@Wolf2007 There's a thread on airline attendants and enemas. I think it's fiction as well. Doesn't stop you from having to pee. Maybe some do it to feed their fetish...not to avoid using the head during flight.

I don't recall having preventive enemas before a trip when I was a youngster. However, Now I will take them. Recently, I traveled to NYC for a Broadway show leaving at about 5 in the morning, and returning at around midnight. Just in case, I took an enema the day before , just in case!!!

A pre-emptive enema is given as a preventitive to clear the colon so you don't have to defecate while on the transportation part of your trip of some other occasion where having to defecate, especially away from home, would be inconvenient.

Oh yes preventive enemas are a must. Big believer in them every couple of weeks. Keeps the body health and cuts back on colds, flu, etc.

Mom, but above all grandmother, they were intransigent ... after every holiday period, enema was obligatory for me ... but no enema for my sister! Even when I returned from my school trips, my grandmother gave me a 1.5L enema of water and chamomile.

So good for your health like I said before every couple of weeks a good cleaning out helps big time!

I think this is a good idea, if you will be traveling and have limited access to a bathroom for long periods of time- like on a long driving trip. For me the question is when to do an enema session that would allow me to travel in comfort and not feeling like I need to have a BM. If I do a series of 3 enemas, I typically don't need to have a BM for 24 hours after the enemas. So I could see doing a 3 enema series late in the day prior to travel. That would also give me plenty of time to expel all the enemas and be ready to travel the next day.

I was not given them before travel. However, once I began traveling it occurred that it would be very convenient to avoid the need during travel. This came in very handy when I began traveling overseas for work. Total travel time was 30 hours door to door. There wasn’t often convenient time to tend to normal needs. One leg of the travel was 16 hours from Chicago to Hong Kong. I found that on the night before I would take a number of very high volume enemas. Preferably until clear if possible. Then, next day, before the trip I would take an Imodium to slow things down. I found this to be effective and very convenient. On the return trip this wasn’t as feasible due to availability of large amounts of safe to drink water (or pump up my ass) and it made that part of the travel much less comfortable. I would still take them with bottled water but couldn’t get empty enough.

Just a personal opinion but I think preventive enemas really cuts down on colds, flu and keeps the bowels free from germs.

But the bowel isn't supposed to be free of germs.

Enemas do not prevent any disease - flu colds or otherwise. Like chiropractors, as far as healing goes they are a farce. They can help with constipation. BTW - flu is caused by a virus - not a germ. Taking preventive enemas for a long trip won't help with urination urges. So bathroom stops may still be unavoidable. If you are a guy - you don't have to touch a toilet seat - if you're a girl, I guess you could hover and pee all over the place.

I have a Flight Attendant friend on here. She says that in her occupation, preventative enemas are super common. She always has a bag in her carry on for layovers at hotels.

Other than for anal sex, this is the second instance I've read here about the practice of a pre-emptive enema, this about a flight attendant pre-flight, and the other from a member who cleans himself out before running road races. I wonder if anyone else does this for any other reasons.

I suspect that a true klismophile may see preventative enemas in a more positive light than others who aren't as enamored with the procedure. I agree that one may have to urinate, but it is far more simple when one is on a fishing or hunting trip, stuck in a traffic jam, or expected to attend to a plane load of passengers stuck out on the tarmac, to take a quick pee even if facilities aren't otherwise available. I've used them many times in my decades of existence, and find it more convenient when I plan for contingencies of this nature.

Any other situations we know of where people take pre-emptive enemas? What are they preparing for to avoid needing to have BMs? Just curious, as I'd never heard of needing to take an enema before a road race before Enema Runner explained it to me. I suppose I could take pre-emptive enemas before SCUBA dives or full days of diving, to avoid needing to pull my wetsuit down. Believe me, I would sure enjoy them because my enema fetish mixed with my rubber and sneakers (usually worn by divers) fetishes would be very arousing, but I've never seen the need.

Thanks,

I do not believe enemas are preventative medicine for things like the cold or flu but I do use them as a preventative against having to use the toilet in certain circumstances. Whether it is just a planned shopping trip with friends, a day on the road, or at a long sporting event, if I have not had a substantial bowel movement before I leave I will have a small enema just to make sure I am empty down there. Sometimes the toilet facilities you encounter away from home are not the best. I can hover to pee if necessary, but I want to avoid having to do a number two if possible.

One of the justifications for being given what were frequent enemas... "there is something going around." And they really got frequent during polio seasons. But that's what our mothers believed... "old wives tales."

There was also the concept they could cause a miscarriage, girls and women taking enemas on the belief they could abort a pregnancy.

I know Switchable will go ballistic about this, sorry, that's what people in my town in Eastern Massachusetts believed back in the day. I did have a set of Naturopathic Books that made the same claim, they were published in the 1930's, and enema for a sniffling child, highly recommended, as it was important to keep the bowels clear!

I guess I must have been a healthy kid, I didn't get as many colds as the other kids, and when an entire section of the kids sitting near me in class would come down with the "stomach flu," I didn't. So of course my mother would use enemas as the reason I was so healthy. Worked for me, I hated to be sick and loved enemas!

I used to get sick about once a year, then went through a period where it was much more often, then back to almost never. Not sure what I'm doing right, but my guess is hand hygiene.

(Your comment). Just a personal opinion but I think preventive enemas really cuts down on colds, flu and keeps the bowels free from germs.

Despite comments made here to the contrary, this could well be true because the consensus is that even the medical profession doesn't understand but a fraction about the workings of the gut.

Do you have a reliable reference for that?
