Stats on Enema Volumes

I analyzed the Thread on enema Volumes to establish the following percentages for Enema users on this Forum:

Usual Volume Used (Quarts) ..1../ ..2 /...3 /...4 / ..5 / ..6

Percentages of 250 members .1../ 22 / 30 / 40 / ..2 / ..5

I decided to exclude maximum quantities used, because often this was reached during a single episode after which unpleasant side effects were experienced. I also ignored claims of volumes used of over 6 quarts, because, in my opinion, this involves irresponsible behavior, with the risk of herniation, perforation or electrolyte imbalances.

I would guess that among the general population who still use enemas, 2 quarts would be the most frequently used quantity. It is interesting to note that for the majority (70%) of enema users on this Forum who contributed to this thread, from 3 to 4 quarts are usually used. This means that either 4 quart bags, ordered on-line were used or that 2 quart bags are given and re-filled for each enema.

I welcome any comments on my observations.

That seems pretty accurate from the ~two years I've been a member. A nice round gallon makes me feel like I've had a proper enema, and I'm sure other feel the same.

A two quart bag can, if it's a closed type, be pressure filled to 3 quarts with no problem.

Fill the bag from the tap then run water from the bag till the airispurged from the hose. Run waters touch hot and fill the sink, then hold the bag below the sink water line and open the clip.

Stop the gravity fill when ready. I've never broken a bag like this, but with overeager filling it's certainly a possibility...

For the most part, I use 3 quarts for my normal Epsom Salt and soapsuds enemas.

Sometimes for quick soapsuds only enemas I will use a 2-qt bag. That is also what my hubby and I use in our foreplay enemas.

I have to admit, I HAVE used a 4-qt open-top bag.

I had used the 4-qt a couple of times. After that, I found I needed 3 qts to produce the same effect I previously got after using two! Permanent distention I think!!

Wow lisa i want to try a 4 qt bag ,where do u buy one???

Rainy-- I found that a 2 qt bag simply was not enough to be satisfying, so I got my 4 qt bag that I use all of the time from Klister, but several other places sell them, too, so look around.

Enemas, like many other things in life, isn't a "one size fits all" affair. For some, 2 quarts is plenty, while for others 4 quarts is just right. I started out with a two quart bag but found I had to add solution to get the desired result. So, I bought a 4 quart bag. I rarely take all four quarts, but knowing it's there if I need it is a good thing! My usual enema is generally about 3 quarts with a complete fill on the rare occasion!

Have fun and play safe!

Debgurl and I are rowing the same boat. 3 quarts is my normal, but it's good to have that extra quart if you want a little more. I rarely use 4 quarts, because it is really pushing my limit, but I have and will continue to use it on occasion. I knew someone who regularly use 5 quarts. Whew!

I've always said it's quality not quantity with me. I enjoy relaxing, erotic enemas and for me that's anywhere from 2 to 3 quarts. Mom used to say that a good enema has to hurt just a little bit, but I never bought into that. For me it's all about getting that internal pressure on the prostate just right.

I usually take 2 qts of VERY soapy (Ivory) suds, held 20-30 minutes. I find this volume very comfy, and with the long holding period, it usually works its way all the way around for a thorough cleanout. I always do a salt & baking soda rinse, and since I do not hold it, I try to take at least 3 qts. When playing with my nurse friend, we normally take 3-4 qt SSE's, using the double balloon catheter. We both have the caths, and fill together, then snuggle and mess around while waiting for the inevitable. We may do as many as six in a series, and (rarely) have given each other 6 qts. The last rinse almost always exits clear or only slightly straw coloured. The best sex occurs with 3 qts, because the enemas "disappear" from our conscious until orgasm. More volume tends to remain noticeable throughout. We both agree that a 3 qt SSE greatly enhances orgasms; and she frequently "O's" two or three times.

I have kind of 3 different scenarios that I use for my solo enemas. I generally don't decide which scenario I’m going to use till I have started filling. I am generally using an enema to stimulate ejaculation while filling, as well as cleanse my body.

I have a 2500 cc (2.6 quart) disposable bag, which is inexpensive and lasts a long time.

I like this size because it’s right at my typical minimum (Scenario 1). I can retain 2500 cc almost indefinitely if I am trying to cleanse. I often reach orgasm right at 2500 cc. I I haven’t, I will retain for a while then refill and I generally will reach orgasm by 3750 cc (3.9 quarts) leaving and other 1250 cc (1.3 quarts) if I should decide I want to push further.

Normally, if I haven’t reached orgasm by 3750 cc I won’t as the pressure beginning to build too quickly.

I normally won’t take the full second bag unless I have been doing a series of enemas beforehand. When I have taken 5000 cc, it's general difficult to get to the toilet.

Just one person’s enema profile. I’m 6’-0” tall and weight right at 200 lbs.

Guess I am in the 5% group that regularly uses six quart enemas. I took a long time developing that too. Through my 40's and early 50's I could do four quarts max. But I have always pushed for more volume. Sometime at the end of my 50's I became able to do six quart enemas and have done them ever since. On occasion, I have pushed for more volume and a few times have done eight quart enemas. I can't do that with any reliability. And I don't recommend it. (I did it recently by taking two quarts and retaining it five minutes. Then another two quarts and retaining that five minutes. Then a third two quarts and retaining that five minutes. Then taking the final two quarts and believe me, you can not retain it long! I was also already "flushed out" by prior enemas. I am also rather certain the valve between my large & small intestines opened and water flushed into my small intestines. I also use warm water, 105° to 109°F. The warmth helps the muscles too stretch.

Usually, the first enema I take in series is only 4 to 5 quarts. An then I expel. The second enema may be 5 to 6 quarts and then I expel. I use warm water too, since that helps the muscles stretch. I think the process of taking a large volume enema stretches the muscles at the time too, making higher volumes possible. After the second enema, I can usually take a series of six quart enemas without problems: flush in and flush out. It is very uncomfortable to hold a high volume enema for a period of time.

I haven't really planned or used 4 quart enemas for a decade or so. So yes, there may be a permanent stretching.

Also, for many years I uses an antique vaginal douche nozzle as my favorite nozzle. Around 2009 I bout a Klystra KP-2 nozzle. It helps me retain enemas. I've since tried to go back to my douche nozzle and it is so loos in my anus. Like a clapper in a bell! LOL!

Klystra KP-2 enema nozzle - It is not their biggest but it works for me.

It took years of practice for me to work my way up to 4 quarts, but I do enjoy that feeling!!!

I have a screwed up intestinal plumbing, since my resection for cancer. I have no sigmoid, no internal sphincters, half a rectum, etc. I use 2.5 liters from a Klystra silicone bag. That is what I can comfortably take. I have pushed it to 3 liters and it is very uncomfortable, but then there is a foot less of space to fill. My descending colon is hooked directly to my 3.5 in. rectum. I MUST use an inflatable nozzle since there are no internal muscles to retain the water. I think this is a pretty good fill for me, considering my "semi-colon".

I was prepping for a transurethral tumor resection 2 weeks ago and as always, I clean out before surgery so I won't have bowel content slide out under anesthesia. I took 2.5 liters of strong soap, on top of just having eaten supper. While holding it, I vomited my supper. That's the first time ever that has happened to me. Too much soap? Too so after eating? I will stick with tap water and like we were warned as kids, don't go in the water for an hour after eating.

A few years back, I had 13 cm taken out of my colon because of a tumor, so I can put in that much less colon tube, but I can take more than 4qts, maybe as many as 6.

Thank you for your excellent analysis. It is interesting to know that 47% of this community usually takes more than 4 quarts at a time. And I am one of them. I record my volume each time since I started taking large volume for years. Precise measurement is one of the important part of my interest. To do this, I use a glass irrigator with the scale from 0 to 5 litters. Almost always, I take more than 4 litters at a time. When I aim to take more than 5 litters, the scale is not enough. So usually I add 1 litter in the irrigator after taking 4 litters so that the volume can be measured with the scale.

Total volume that I have swallowed from my bottom reached 10 tons a couple months ago since I started recording. This is only for measured ones. There are more unmeasured fluid (without using the irrigator) behind.

I usually take 2 quarts to begin with, but after a few and my colon gets relaxed and more empty, I can take 3 quarts. Very warm water seems to do a better job of relaxing my colon. I use a 2 quart jones can and have another quart container also filled with the warm soapy water. When I see bubbles in the line, I know that the 2 quarts are fully in me whereupon I get up and pour in the remaining quart and fill with that until it's all in. Inconvenient to have to get up. Would be so nice to have a willing, helpul partner to give me my enemas and keep the can full. Oh, well.

@ howhamilton

It seems that we both are stats addicted, This stats have taken certainly some hours to read all the posts about volume, and some posts are multiple, or unusable, sure you have read 300 posts.

Great and big and huge job, thank you.

I have modified the layout of your first post, so the values are edited in "virtual" columns.

Howard,

Thank you for the time involved to come up with this information for us. Also a thanks to Arthur for making the post easier to read.

My normal volume is usually somewhere between 3 to 4qts., so would average out at just a bit over 3 1/2qts. Like Gallonist, I also use a glass irrigator (percolator on avatar), and have it marked by the cup, so can gauge how much I have taken.

Dan

Too soon after eating as well as too much soap will cause you to throw up!!!

My usual volume is one & a half quarts to 2 quarts. When I get close to 2 I feel urgency and fear an accident. I like my enemas to warm and relaxing so I stay with the lesser amounts of solution.

3 qts is perfect for me

Usually 2 to 4 qts... 4 qts being my comfort zone. have done 6 qts occasionally.

I do three enemas in a series on a daily basis. The first is two quarts followed by two four quart enemas. There have been a few times where I have filled my two quart bag again and had myself up to six quarts!

Interesting that 92% of the people on this message board use 2, 3 or 4 quarts.

Only 1% use 1 quart and only 7% use more than 4 quarts.

To my girlfriends I give them gradual enemas. First a quart and then several of two quarts. Someone once sued me for three quarts.

A joke or someone actually sued you for giving the 3 quarts?

How did that work out???????

Amazon has a nice selection of 4qt bags at a reasonable price.

I think enemaseroticos’ English has tripped him up. ‘Demandar’ in Spanish can mean either ‘sue’ or ‘demand, insist on’. So somebody demanded a 3 quart enema from him. I don’t think he was taken to court 😉
