Buying suppositories

Australian, in the UK nowadays purchasing the childrens would seldom go unnoticed by a pharmacist who would try to stop you from getting them, telling you how "addictive" they are, quizzing you about have you seen the doctor, who is your doctor...etc

Squidgy -- My o my, is it not now becoming a total nonsense when a person cant enter a pharmacy & find themselves quizzed over a product that is specifically designed to meet a need as basic as constipation...And worse still to have the audacity to imply one may be incapable of self determination.

I just bought two containers at Walgreen's - Not wanting to go through the front register where two teenaged girls were working, chatting and giggling, i went to the pharmacy register where just a middle aged woman worked. I still felt a little sheepish and mentioned to her that I felt better paying for these here rather that up front with the young cashiers. She said she understood and gave me a slight grin. At home I found I still had another almost full container hidden behind something in the bathroom cabinet. i dumped that container into a large coffee cup, melted them in the microwave and poured them into a rubber glove, filling the 4 fingers plus about 3/4". Later that night they had solidified, so I peeled the glove off and cut then apart with a butter knife, scraping off any sharp edges and corners. This morning I had my wife insert one and press it deeper with my dildo. I felt nothing for over an hour. I remained naked, going about having breakfast and enjoying Sunday morning. My suggested I put on some underwear in case I had a leakage accident. Reluctantly I did so. After she left I continued my morning watching tv and surfing the net. All of a sudden I felt I HAD to go -- more than that I had to RUN for the toilet.. but i didn't make it - I felt my anus betray me and it let loose 10 feet from the bathroom door. Enjoying the curious feeling of full pants I just sat down on the toilet without pulling my pants down. Immediately I felt some uncontrollable yet relaxing waves coming and my underwear, now stretched tight across my bottom filled to the sagging point. I dreading getting up to the shower but I had to do it. I was surprised that what filled my pants was not any poop, it was just the sticky goo of melted glycerine and the whole large suppository looking nearly "pristine".. I'd guess maybe only 1-2% had melted away. I cleaned up with the shower spray, cleaned off the suppo and shoved it back in. I waited another 30 min and out it popped again - still looking good as new. I rinsed it off real good and put it back in the container for another day. I thought it was funny, and my wife just shook her head when I told her about it.

There are some soothing vitamin E suppositories than can be purchased online very inexpensivly. The instructions indicate that they may be taken rectally or vaginally, since they don't have a laxative effect, just sooth tissues, (and presumably provide some vitamin E) , these are a nice addition to play or a play exam, although I realize many members here prefer suppositories that stimulate the bowels--just sayin'.

Stiknclikit, your experience was not unusual. Stearate based glycerin suppositories (like those sold in the US) do not melt very fast at all. That's one reason I prefer gelatin based glycerin suppositories. Sadly, you can't buy those in the US. You'd have to make them yourself.

Squidgi: Oh? In France I think that infant-size glycerin suppositories are perfectly accepted as a method to quickly relieve constipated infants. I've bought some and never had any remark except perhaps some silly explanation about the direction of insertion (!).

Of course you should not be using them on a frequent basis.

(In a movie set in the 1950s called La Baule Les Pins a mother decrees that her two daughters, 8 and 10 I think, should insert themselves a glycerin suppository every evening unless they have already defecated in that evening. Apparently they are supposed to have one bowel movement in the morning and one in the evening. This is probably the kind of harmful parental behavior that some pharmacists wish to avoid.)

Yesterday I went to CVS and purchased a jar of suppositories, a jar of petroleum jelly, and a tube of KY Jelly (gotta stock up once in a while). The cashier was a gal in her late 20's or so. I could care less what she thought. Besides, judging by the large amount of counter space dedicated to these types of products, I'm sure they sell plenty of them every day.

But there's a biological basis for this - autism specialists and digestion specialists say that in terms of toxin-elimination, one bowel movement a day isn't ideal, two or three is more like it. Though I've given up hope of achieving that. I personally have tried so many foods/supplements without increasing my "dung output" - and while obviously I dont want to use so many supps that bleeding/external hemorroids become a regular problem, I dont think one a day will make that happen. (I would've been afflicted so many times in the past!)

# Sqiudgicunt - We've chatted about this in another site, several years ago. If you want several BM's each day, then simply give yourself about 500ml of isotonic saline/water solution each time you want a "dooey". No harsh chemicals, no waiting, thorough. AND, they are not addictive. (Well, they ARE psychologically addictive, for some.) What could be better?

I believe that your interest is different than that of the orders. for they are a customer like any other.

When starting out on my suppository journey I always felt extremely embarrassed buying a box of Dulcolax. I'd actually write 'Dulcolax suppositories' on a piece of paper which I would then give to the pharmacist, pretending I had no idea what they were and that they weren't for me anyway. Not sure I was always successful hiding my sexual excitement.

Nowadays I order them online, no strange looks and no questions asked.

I considered trying castor oil at some point, but had to pass as I don't fancy spending the better part of a day on the loo. The good thing about suppositories is that you have a rather small time frame, with bisacodyl I know it will take anything between 20mins and 1 hour, maybe less with 2 suppositories. I can plan around that and although there will be some after effects in the hours following BM I know I will be in control.

With castor oil (or any other laxative taken orally) it's a different story entirely. You can't be sure that the laxative is going to take effect in the next hour, or the next 2 hours etc.

Take Dulcolax pills, for example. On the box it says that it will take anything from 8 to 12 hours. At one time I took 2 pills around noon and thought I'd be safe till evening at the very least, well I was in for a surprise when a sudden strong urge set in around 2pm, I was lucky to be at home at that time. A couple of weeks later I learned on these forums that these pills have a special coating. I knew that, it says so on the box. What it didn't say is, that anything alkaline will remove that coating and set the bisacodyl free immediately. I said to myself, here we go, that must have been it. So I started another experiment, I took 2 pills and followed up with 300ml milk to see what would happen. Would it take 2 hours or rather 8-12 hours. Well it was closer to 8 hours and that was only because I got impatient and forced a BM with my white, torpedo-shaped friends (the urge from the pills was there alright, it was just too easy to resist at that point).

The bottom line is, oral laxatives are unpredictable and I steer clear of them most of the time, unless I know nothing's going to come up for the next 12 hours or so.

I agree with you Zapfchen. Oral laxatives are very unpredictable. Who wants to be a slave to the porcelain god? Even enemas can give you a nasty surprise down the line. Suppositories don't do it for me either. For constipation probably the best compromise is a small enema.

Someone mentioned avoiding embarrassment by buying suppositories online. There is another, even better reason to shop online: 8 Dulcolax supps at Walgreens are +/- $10.00; bisacodyl supps (same stuff) at drugstore.com are < than $20.00!

I can get a box with 30 Dulcolax suppositories for $15.53 on amazon.de, shipping is $3.84.

Box of 100 Generic bisacodyl's (just as good) available online for even less.

Squidgicunt: Maybe people in the 1950s believed in self-intoxication... and my parents believed that constipation in children could easily degenerate in fecal impaction and a trip to the hospital.

This is why it's perhaps not a bad thing that health professional, such as pharmacists, tell parents that it's not that important that children get a bowel movement every day, and should certainly not receive a suppository every evening. ;-)

I've only mustered up enough courage to buy them myself twice. I get so embarrassed! Even though I know the clerk doesn't know that I'm using them sexually, she still knows where they're going! Thankfully, even though he doesn't share my fetish, my husband will gladly buy them for me ?

Interesting note (for Squidgycunt): I went to buy glycerin suppositories for my young son - he had complained of straining going potty and we had none in stock for his age bracket. The lady at the pharmacy first warned me that it was for infrequent use and that if my son was chronically constipated (which he isn't) there are other treatments, then sold me the box.

Apparently pharmacists are concerned about parents giving glycerin suppositories to children as a common occurrence instead of as "exceptional" help. I can understand them, some members of this forum have reported exactly that from their mother.

I buy them on the internet but sometimes I let my partner go out and buy some. She thinks it's very humiliating so that's why I let her do it 😃

It's just one of many things I let her do, so she gets embarrassed 😃

I generally try to go to the self check out lanes that are at the various grocery stores and even bigger chains like target and Walmart around here. It is less embarrassing. At the one store the laxative products are facing the rest of the store so I try to grab the lactose pills for my partner at the same time.

If you buy laxatives at self checkout in UK they are age restricted so a lovely assistant will show up to check the purchase. This is from experience. I stick to the web.

*Laxatives* are *age-restricted*?? You mean they are sold only to people aged 18+? Do I get it? What's the rationale?

It seems glycerin suppositories are coming back into the poundshops. Bought two boxes this morning - and the cash till person said "that's a lot of suppositories". I took the risk and said - "and a lot of them will probably be cut in half, to make them childrens' size" "Good idea" she said.

Which amounts to an endorsement, rather than the damnation you get from some pharmacists.

When I was a teenager and in my 20s I went to the drugstore on a regular basis to buy suppositories, fleet enemas, vaseline, latex gloves, and white tissue paper (gift wrap) to re-create the doctors office experience. Then I discovered that Staples sold longer tissue paper sheets in larger packages, but they discontinued that several years ago. Once I learned how easy it is to order the real exam table paper by the roll off amazon I stopped needing staples and drug stores to buy tissue paper. I still buy suppositories and enemas at drug stores though. When I used to buy all the items I mentioned when I was in my teens and 20's I would get turned on when I had a cute young cashier ringing me up, wondering what she was thinking or if they ever put two and two together. Maybe they thought nothing of the paper, assuming it was for gift wrapping or maybe they did associate it with doctor paper. It was really hot when I bought thermometers too. I hated when glass mercury thermometers stopped being sold.

I bought some yesterday when shopping. My guess is that the clerk didn't even register what they were -- just an item with a bar code that made the register go 'bing' and on to the next.

Now I am not ashamed to buy suppositories and similar accessories. However, as a child, I was very embarrassed when my mother bought suppositories and I stood next to her. One time my mother bought suppositories, rubber gloves and petroleum jelly. I was embarrassed, I thought the saleswoman knew it was for me.

My problem was the way to pronounce the name'Anusol' before they were put out on shelves and you had to ask at the counter. Apparently the correct pronunciation is ‘ann -you - sol.’ I cheated and tore off the top of the box and asked for some more of these.

I have no issues about buying suppositories in local shops, several years ago i stopped at a small chemists to buy a pack, the middle aged woman who served me asked if i was ok with their use…….often wondered if id said no, where the chat may have lead.

I just bought a jar recently, put it through the self-checkout, and thought nothing of it. I don't think that anyone cares enough to take an interest in what folks are buying. I've never experienced that.
