What is your preferred water temperature?

I always use a thermometer when preparing my enemas...better safe than sorry. That said, I try to shoot for about 106F so that by the time it's going in me, the water is around 103-104F. For my taste, that is a very comfortable temperature that relaxes the colon and prompts a nice result.

Cold water enemas are sometimes in the mix, especially when an earlier enema somehow "gets stuck"! The cold tap water will get things moving...in a hurry!

Have fun and play safe!

I have been doing enemas for MANY years. At first I just sort of guessed at the temp. Running water over in inside of my wrist seemed to work pretty well. But lately I have been using a digital thermometer. I find the ideal temp is around 103 - 106. That goes in easy and comes out easy.

Every so often, I take an ice water enema. I love the cold feeling as it goes in. I usually follow it with another warm one.

The inside-of-your-wrist technique actually works if you don't have a bath thermometer. "Comfortably warm" is what a nurse taught me. If you've taken enough enemas, you'll come pretty close to the 100-105 degree temp just feeling the temp of the water coming from the tap.

I like taking a very hot bath in the 115F range. On very cold days with having been out in it for a while, the bath does not need to be so hot. The special treatment though is a 100F slow enema while soaking up the hot bath.

The last few days, it has been hot, so I take a cool enema and it really feels great on the fill. My phone enemate joined me to take them together.

I like the digital thermometer to read 108 when filling the bag. By the time I get it hung up, nozzle lubed, me lubed, nozzle inserted, clamp opened, it's almost always 105-106 degrees. Makes for a comfy & very relaxing enema. Tried an ice cold enema once.........NOT for me!

I used to try to get warm water into my 4 qt bag, but I have found it difficult, for reasons I do not know, to get the right temperature coming out of the tap. I had to keep playing with the two taps and hope it averaged out o.k. I now just use cold tap water most of the time, but sometimes use ice water for the first one mostly for variety's sake.

When the weather is cold I like a nice, warm, relaxing enema, and conversely, when the weather is hot a cool enema is refreashing and invigorating. I have never tried either hot or cold water.

I personally like both cold and hot water during an enema. Not boiling, but in the 105 degree range. The feeling between the two extremes is unbelievable.

Body temperature, which can be felt with the hand.

In some bathrooms there are thermometric shower taps. A temperature slightly above normal body temperature (38⁰C, or 100⁰F) is specifically written on the tap, and typically one needs to push on a button to go hotter than that. So it's normally easy to get water at 38⁰C/100⁰F.

As close to 100 deg. F as possible. Just slightly above body temperature.

Three or four degrees above body temp is what I find ideal. I find that this temperature range has two advantages for me. First and foremost is comfort and pleasure and secondly, if the enema is for constipation relief, these temperatures are the easiest for me to retain; hence, they are more effective.

The only time I will prepare an enema at or slightly below body temperature is if it is for fever reduction. These enemas bring no comfort or enjoyment for me. I find it more difficult to retain the solution at these temperatures, but do my best to retain as long as possible for maximum fever reduction.

I don't take a water temp. So i will say "warm and comfortable"

I prefer to start at about 106 degrees, which I find is slightly too warm on my wrist. It goes in with minimum cramping, stays in well, and will not damage the colon lining. Any warmer opens you up for possible scalding of the colon. That is serious, and also leads to the embarrassment of explaining to ER personnel how it happened. (As if they didn't know!)

I tend to favor cold tap water or iced tap water. Warm does not do much for me.

My preferred enema water temperature is between 95F-105F, although anything between 40 and 110 is OK depending on my mood.

Warm, but not hot to the person getting the enema.

Always encourage them to participate in the mixing and setup for that reason.

For me its warm water, not hot. When I run the water I use the inside of my arm to test the temp if I can't hold my arm there its too hot, so I add a little cool water I test it again and if its just right I can hold my wrist under it without getting scalded, so I know this is the right temp.

I have normally prepped my average solution temp to go in at around 100-101F for close to a decade. Just lately I've been tending toward 104-105 and enjoying the warmer ones quite a bit. Must be the cold weather prompting this. In the summer I am inclined to take cool water enemas with some frequency.

Mostly warm about 102F but when the temp outside is 102F and you want some relief, there's nothing better than an enema at 40F!

Very warm but not hot.

I prefer warm enough to comfortably put my elbow in it, but not too hot.

While I usually go with water that's warm but not quite hot, I've more recently tried water that was as hot as was comfortable to the touch. It was surprisingly relaxing and easy to take, even in larger volumes. Cold water is interesting because it's easy to feel it as it makes its way up inside, but it's usually too crampy for me.

I usually aim for some retention, but in even as short as 5 minutes the temperature of a solution will come close to equalizing with body temperature. This makes for a very similar expulsion experience regardless of how warm or cold the water was when it went into the colon.

Whether using a warm or cold solution, on occasion I will expell immediately after the fill so that I feel the temperature extreme in the heat receptors of my anus. The variety in these sensations makes for even more fun on the tail end.

I like warm, about body temperature water - it is outright pleasant to receive and it is easy to take a large volume and even hold it for a while before expelling....

I like it cold for a quick flush (I like to feel it inside and feels refreshing after some silicone plugs, which can feel rough after some time), for a more thorough cleansing body temperature is the most comforting.

I like warmer ones around 105 to 108 love coffee ones at 108

I find easyer to hold and feals so good

I find that when the water is warm to hot, I can hold a lot more water than if it is cool. I don't know why that is, but it feels better to me than a cool or cold enema. Even on a very hot day, I like a very warm to hot enema. Somewhere between 110 and 115 degrees I don't want to burn the inside of me, so usually the temp of the water is very warm to the touch. If I am in doubt, I have the thermometer to check the water temp. I have also found if I add baking soda to the water, I can get more water in me. My goal is 5 quarts, but right nowI am only able to get 4 quarts plus a little more. Maybe by the end of the year, I will be able to get 5 quarts.

Coffee, 106-108

I don't like the cold ones, or even cooler. They have to be very warm, bordering on hot. I like to feel the warm/hot water rushing into me, but I don't like expelling hot water. So, I just found what really worked for me. I find that heaving a warm/hot enema makes me far more receptive to a good stretching session.
