What is your preferred water temperature?

I always use warm enemas, 38-39 ° C.

Anywhere from 105 to 110 F

I do not use a thermometer to check. I just run the hot until I am comfortable temp wise and fill the bag.

Prefer warm water - 37-38C

Cold are hard to retention long.

When desiring a quick enema to clean myself out, or when I am going to take a series of them, I am okay with taking cold water enemas initially, which I don't intend to retain for long. Then for the final enema, I go with warm water, a few degrees above body temperature or as warm as I can comfortably take. It feels nice going in as I notice the temperature contrast following the cold enemas. I find it more relaxing, can take more volume and retain it for longer.

I enjoy my enemas best at 110-113 degrees .can really feel the fluid going in and filling me up.i use a infrared thermometer to check temp

I like the temp. Around 110.

Normally I take around 90°F to 95°F for fear of going too hot, though I do like the warmth from an enema (especially during the winter months). I didn't have a thermometer until recently so there was always some degree of uncertainty, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. I primarily used my wrist to gauge heat, since my hands seem to be comparatively less sensitive to heat.

Seeing some people use temps upwards of 115°F though, I'm tempted to push the warmth of my next enema to a toasty 105°F to start (measured with thermometer), and maybe 107-110°F if that feels comfortable. I can't imagine doing more without feeling a risk of pain or damage though.

I like anything over normal body temperature. I would guess between 105 and 110°. Anything over that, might be too hot for me. I'd like to live another day.

I enjoy it when it is warm to very warm. Around 95 degrees F. to 100 degrees F. Then there are also cool water enemas are good too.

105 to 110 degrees. And then there are ice water enemas. About 35 degrees. That's a whole other subject.

115 is good for my first 2QT soapy enema then the next one rinse at 105-110

In a previous comment I stated that 105 degrees F (40.5 degrees C) is the absolute upper limit I will use. The decision to set 105 degrees F as the upper limit is driven by four considerations:

a: by the time the water reservoir is filled, prepared and water flowing into the rectum enough time will elapse to allow the water temperature to drop two to three degrees. If you happen to use a product that directly introduces water from the tap it seems it would be wise to lower the temperature by at least five degrees.

b: the water temperature is measured with a lab grade thermometer with calibration traceable to a national standard. The lab grade thermometer is cross checked with a second lab grade thermometer at least once per encounter with enemas. As a backup check, the water filling the enema container is felt with the skin on the top of the forearm for comfort. If it seems too warm the temperature is rechecked. I also own a thermocouple type thermometer for triple checking if I have any doubts the first two thermometers are in error and the skin test fails.

c: professional water system installers have established the safe upper limit on water temperature is 110 degree F where water may contact human or animal tissues.

d: pain is reported to occur in most people when exposed to temperatures of between 105 degrees F (40.5 degrees C) and 110 degrees F (43.3 degrees F).

Studies conducted to evaluate the use of elevated temperatures to cause cellular death in human tumors has determined that temperatures of 46 degrees C (114.8 degrees F) to 60 degrees C (140 degrees F) are associated with non-reversible cellular death. https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/32/3/915.full . No tolerance for temperature variance was specified in reviewed articles. The quoted study above is for tumor cells, not normal cells in the body. No mention was found in the article that indicated tumor cells were any more or any less susceptible to elevated temperatures than normal cells.

Temperatures above 105 degrees F (40.5 degrees C) just seem to risky.

I had a new enema adventure using room temperature water in my last enema..I am guessing it was around 67*F.....

Taking it while sitting on the toilet, using a colon tube inserted in about 6”, i released the clamp and could feel exactly where it was going as it moved up my sigmoid and descending colon. As i tracked the strong sensation, i found my colon is not like those pictured in books. It meanders across and back tracks to my left side. Also, it was somewhat painful, strange cramping sensation. Something that never happens with my usual 105*F enemas.

Can not believe anyone would use icy water.... ugh!

Drinking. for test.. drink some filtered warm water before mixing any soaps. if it is comfortably drinkable temperature then that could form an ideal and comfy enema solution. That is not too cold or not too hot. This is my procedure always and yeah i keep little bit more warm than drinkable so time taken to mix the soap, fill the enema bag and positioning ourselves and lubing will reduce certain temperature of water and it ll reach to perfect warm solution to take the flow.

Very warm to the fingers.

I tried cold once... cramps were actually nauseating. Not my scene.
