New to enemas, I need advices

I want to try an enema, but i'm not exactly sure how. Can I do it by myself or do I need someone else?

I have taken about 90% of my enemas solo. If you have someone else give it to you, it should be someone you trust implicitly! Ideally a parent, spouse or very close sibling. Someone who will keep a confidence.

Accept that you WILL NOT take two enemas exactly alike. IT CAN'T BE DONE!! Every enema will be at least a little different

First, find a good bag somewhere. Online is full of good places.

Decide WHAT you are doing.

Are you just experimenting?

Are you trying to clean yourself out?

For that first enema NO laxatives of ANY kind for at least 48 hours before and after.

Don't know that I would do it for the second one either. After that use your own judgement.

Find some soapsuds you can be comfortable with, whether it's Ivory, Castille soap or something else is less important than the fact that YOU are OK with it.

DON'T use anything stronger until you have done a few soapsuds enemas.

Do your first couple at least on an empty stomach.

Use either knee-chest position, or Simms (Left side, NOT right side) position Right knee drawn up. left knee bent full 90.

If you use knee-chest, be sure it IS knee-chest, not knee-neck, or worse, knee-head. To do this, you might want to place a pillow under your knees, and another under your chest. If you are a female, unless you are small busted, you will likely find it more comfortable to use a slightly flatter pillow under the chest than under the knees.

If you are female, it is totally up to you whether you leave the bra on or not, but I can say from experience that, if you are well endowed, leaving it on helps you get a better "feel" for when you have a good knee-chest position.

If you are wearing any sort of Spanx or similar, take it off at least from the time you get into position, until at least 30 minutes after the last expulsion.

Before getting into position, ALWAYS PEE FIRST! That way there are no other factors generating pressure on the lower abdomen.

RELAX!! It's best to clear the schedule, so you have no distractions. The best way to set up the cell phone and/or laptop is turned off and out of reach.

Hang the enema bag about 3 ft above where your rectum will be when in position!! Ideal flow rate is about a quart per minute.

Choose a position. Get in that position BEFORE inserting the nozzle.

Take a couple of minutes once you get in position to just relax yourself, and focus on what you're doing. Look at the bag no more than twice between hanging the bag and injecting the enema. You don't need to scare yourself!!

Touch the nozzle to your rectum, make sure you are pointed at your navel. some people find that putting the other hand over the navel helps them determine that, others find it doesn't help. Push it in GENTLY!! NEVER FORCE IT!! On the first round, you probably won't need any lubricant, if you do, KY Jelly or a competing product with a different brand mane on it is the ideal. Vaseline is NOT good for the rubber. With proper care the bag should last several lifetimes.

DO NOT RUSH!! Relax, and take your time. Inserting the nozzle should feel a little strange to someone who has never done it but should never hurt!!

Once you insert, keep your hands away from your tummy. they can go anywhere else that is not too uncomfortable.

I always wait a couple of minutes between insertion and opening the valve.

I find it helps to take 3 to 4 deep breaths, as deep as you can, then breathe in, hold your breath, pop the valve and breathe naturally., your breath may be faster than your resting breath, perfectly OK!!

Take as much as you can! Your GOAL is 2 qts, but you may not make that goal the first couple of times.

Hold it as long as you can, with a goal of 15 minutes, You may not make that goal the first time or two, but be strong!

If you are having trouble slow deep breaths can help, so can keeping an old washcloth or hand towel in easy reach, It should be clean, but does not have to be in good shape otherwise. You can either twist it in your hands or use it as a bite rag during those "peaks" where you think you are going to lose control.

Don't take enemas too often!! After that first one wait at least a few weeks before trying again

Have a good enema!

Lisa!!

I'd guess 90% of people do their enemas solo. For a first experimentation, I suggest you go to the drug store and buy a disposable Fleet enema - or better yet - a woman's disposable douche. Dump the contents down the drain and refill it with comfortably warm tap water. Take your enema close to the sink or tub because you'll be refilling the bottle multiple times.

Grease the hell out of your butthole (inside and out) with a generous amount of vaseline. Get on your knees, bend over and carefully stick the nozzle in your ass and squeeze the water out. Repeat as many times as feels good - your butt will tell you when you've had enough and need to sit on the toilet and release.

If you get aroused during the process, by all means feel free to masturbate throughout the process. For some here that's what it's all about - but it is not required. Some people enjoy the pleasure of enemas in their own right.

If you enjoy the experience, buy yourself an enema bag and read the multiple topics in this forum to learn various equipment, techniques and solution preferences until you figure out what you like best.

Medical--Lisa has given you a lot of good advice. I would add that you probably should use clear tap water, not water with soap or some other substance in it. You are less likely to get cramps and more likely to be able to hold it longer. If you do use soap or something else, then you will need to give yourself a couple more plain water ones to rinse the soap out. I prefer a bag to a bulb, which is what Doug recommended, for it is an easier, more relaxed way to do things. I like to lie on my side or back so that I can watch the water level going down. You probably need to have your hand on the hose so that you can stop the water if you feel cramped.

I am surprised that you have been a member for six years and this is your first time trying an enema. Give us a report on your experience.

Never forget for a sensual and comfortable enema mix your tap water with baking soda or salt : _

here are the right proportions and temperatures for salt and baking soda

for salt

1,23Oz/Gallon ../ /.. 34,88grammes/gallon ../ /.. 9grammes/liter at 104°F. (42°C.) it may be a bit warmer in the bulb / bag / syringue

for baking soda

1,91Oz/Gallon ../ /.. 54,25grammes/gallon ../ /.. 14grammes/liter at 104°F. (42°C.) it may be a bit warmer in the bulb / bag / syringue

I want to try an enema, but i'm not exactly sure how. Can I do it by myself or do I need someone else?

You have to be joking.

You have been a member here for SIX YEARS read the posts and don't know if you can give yourself an enema without assistance? Many of us who were never given a medically necessary enema started sneaking them and giving them to ourselves when we were less than ten years old.

OMG I'm with Susie!

Even if the first post is a level, no reason we can't humor him. Maybe he's just curious about the response people might give.

If nothing else, it gave us yet another peak into the mind of LisaK (which I always find fascinating) 😃

Whoa, why am I being attacked? I have done other medfet play just not an enema. Yes, I have been here for 6 years on and off. Thank You everyone for your input, I appreciate it.

Thank You, Doug.

Lisa K,

Great job on setting up the requirements for initiation to the "pleasures of an enema" Super advice!

If I need help, it's in cutting my toenails. Enemas I could do in my sleep.

I don't need any help either. I was proficient at giving myself enemas long before I could drive or do quadratic equations.

Unless one rides the "short bus" or doesn't have the sense to wipe their butt, I'm guessing that self-administering enemas is easily doable.

Lisa K Beautiful explanation for anyone to understand how to do an enema...

Great post for me to read. There are many helpful advice here. Thanks as I'm very new and will, hopefully, be giving myself one, a real enema, this weekend. My previous were with fleet and not memorable. Great tips. Thank you all.

Xtrlvn4V: Please don't consider a Fleets an enema-it's more of an rectal douche than anything. I hope you get the time to administer and enjoy your first "real" enema this weekend. I believe you'll have a finer appreciation of the process and why so many of us on Zity admire and enjoy them ourselves.

Anybody who is the least bit curious, has a length of tubing and understands the concept of gravity can give an enema, so get to it.
