What is your preferred water temperature?

Very warm, almost hot!!!

In the winter if I am feeling a bit chilly at enema time a good warm enema is pure pleasure! In the warm weather when I might be hot the ticket is a couple of cool water enemas.

It depends on the temperature in the bathroom, how I am feeling, and what I did for the last one. Also on how much time I have. Sometimes it is ice tap water, sometimes cold tap water, usually warm tap water.

I once new an airline stewardess who learned to take ice cold enemas in her travels to Scandinavia. Once in the islands of Hawaii, I experienced a colonic at around 110 degrees for suspected critter infestation and it caused an unexpected eruption but took care of the problem. Some like to have the water and suds get progressively warmer then rinse with a final room temperature flush. How about you?

I like them quite warm. I find the warmer enema is more relaxing, and I have less cramps. So, I generally go for at least 42 C (about 105 F) and sometimes as high as about 46 C (115 F) in the bag. By the time I get the bag hung, water flowing through the tube, etc. it has cooled a bit, especially in the winter, so it isn't quite that hot flowing into me.

I use a typical fever thermometer to check the temp.!!! You may think it's just warm enough and it's 140*F..and cook your colon!!!!Check and Double check!!,Your colon will love you for it!!highwater!!!

My favorite temperature for enemas is 105F. I check with a digital thermometer. Sometimes if I feel there is still some enema retained after I expel I will follow up with cool, plain water, straight from the cold water faucet. That usually starts things out by time I get a quart in. It is interesting to feel the cool water travel across your stomach.

I have a similar view though I don't measure the temperature. When I use a warm bicarbonate solution it tends to be retained in the transverse and ascending colon. That plain, cool water is a bit of a rush, but I'm also surprised how fast it warms up inside me (or maybe it's just mixing).

I've never measured the water temp when preparing an enema. I keep my hand under the faucet and adjust the temp to where it feels like a nice warm bath. Not too hot, but more than just lukewarm. My sessions begin with about 2 1/2 quarts of water together with a tablespoon of Dr. Bronners. The warm soapy water is a most effective cleanse and provides a full and complete, satisfying release. Next up is the clear water rinse. Same quantity, slightly lower temp. Even with the lower temp a portion of the rinse may get stuck and I'll need to get up and move around a little. No scalding enemas and no ice water enemas either. It's all about a relaxing, comfortable, and stimulating enema session for me.

Not really sure, but slightly warmer than body temp, just not too hot, like pleasantly warm.

Generally, I prefer my enemas at just slightly above normal body temperature. It's just warm enough that it gives me a nice sensation flowing in, but certainly no-where near hot enough to do any damage. There are times however during the hot summer months, particularly when I've been working outside and am quite warm when I come in that I enjoy a nice pleasantly cool enema. Again it feels great going in, and the differential between my normal body temperature and the somewhat cool enema is exquisite to say the least. Plus, it has the added benefit of cooling me down fairly quickly.

In the past when I was young cool or tepid ( not cold ) enemas were given to reduce fever. They were crampy were held as long as possible and repeated as needed.

Most hot tubs are capped at 104 degrees. One can feel this is quite warm to the touch. I will usually be within a few degrees of this without using a thermometer very often. It was pointed out that the enema solution cools quite rapidly. The only exception is an oil enema. Be extra cautious!

Lately, if I'm taking or giving multiple enemas, I like about a quart of very cool water as a final step. I've found that this usually finishes the expulsion process without much residual solution in the colon. I enjoy the sensation as well. There is little need to retain this beyond the trek to the terlet. Many texts that advocate enema use suggest the cool/cold enema to restore colon elasticity.

I use an inexpensive, digital, aquarium thermometer I bought at PetsMart to measure the temperatures of my enemas.

I prefer warm enemas, 105°F to 112°F. I don't like cold enemas, but sometimes get masochistic and go for hot enemas. I also like high volume enemas and I find that warm enemas makes me more stretchy, inside, so I can take larger volumes.

"anything between 40 and 110 is OK depending on my mood."

40°F! YIKES! That's COLD!

I guess you want to . . . chill out . . . 😉

In 2014 I posted that I like twix 108 and 112. That is still true today. For the larger enemas, I ramp up the temp., because the water does cool down fairly rapidly.

I like my hot ones almost steaming hot and my cold ones damn near freezing cold. I have often done this back to back with the hot one 1st and the cold one next.

Maybe a little warmer than body temperature suits me fine.

I like my enemas to feel nice and warm but not as hot as a hot shower.

I prefer around 100 degrees checking the temp with a food thermometer. I've tried warmer ones, about 105 and had bad reactions - faintness, sweating and difficult expulsion. Not a pleasant experience. Don't know why but my body just can not tolerate the heat.

I personally like to take a bag of ice water and then while I am holding it I like to take another bag, but this bag must be one with hot water in it... Oh the feeling is outstanding!

Well as I reported earlier somewhere in this, I'll be taking a 'room temperature' in the morning due to a false start this afternoon that got all set up then got postponed until tomorrow. So, there it hangs, on the I.V. pole awaiting my pleasure. It'll be interesting. I'll let you know....

I use very very warm water except when I want to do a flashback to the days when I would sneak moms enema equipment as a kid and use cold water bc I didn't know any better.

Presently it is around 104F. I use a digital fever thermometer to obtain the correct range.

Previously I did 102F water temps. A few years ago I found that to be too crampy so upped the temperature.

When I was doing coffee retention enemas with two bags, I made the coffee solution 102F and the baking soda/soap solution in the second bag much hotter so that cooling during retention did not result in a jolt of tepid liquid.

I prefer very warm water but am curious about comments regarding ice water....brrrr. Water should not be too hot....maybe 100 F. Water at 105 would be too hot!! Most hot tubs not that hot!!!

Thinking on it further.....The water in an enema bag does cool down quickly so maybe the enema

bag fill should be somewhat warmer than what actually goes into you!!

I like cool water 70-80 degrees. I also like the cramping it brings. a cool 4 quart with a 30 inch colon tube is my favorite. By the time the water reaches body temp, the cramps stop, then its time to enjoy the fullness. Ejaculation upon expulsion is the greatest.

I haven't measured (I will to see soon) but think about 105 degrees. Last week sometime we were going to do a series late afternoon and someone "dropped by".

We decided to leave the 4 qt bag hanging there all night and take the first half (my std 2qts) in the morning. --which we did the following morning and the "room temperature" wasn't comfortable.....worked well, but not fun. And then I had to take the second half.

I've decided that I'll stay with 'warm-hot'.

I prefer warm water enemas. I just like the feeling. Usually I would fill and expel, but after reading on here, have been holding for 15 to 30 minutes depending. I love it.

I like different temperatures to get different results. 102f-105f for a high colon tube cleansing enema. 100f for a coffee enema that i am going to hold for as long as possible. 90f for a cooler cramp inducing expulsion. It all depends on what are the "End" results I want.
