On the back, legs pulled up

I have never received ennemas in this position, but suppositories were given this way any time. When I was smaller, somebody kept my legs, I was crying of course. At the last occasion when suppo was given, at about 8 y age, my grandmother told me take this position. I thought I am a "big boy, I am not affrraid" and raised my legs voluntarily, than I saw the supository in her hand approuching to my butt, than her hand and the suppo sink out of my sight, I felt something at the entrance of my anus, than it started to hurt and I started to cry.

I don't know, that she just inserted the suppo or she inserted her finger some part. I am quite supprised, when some people on this forum remember that his/her mother,grandmo etc. inserted her finger and how deeply. How they could distinguish the feeling?

Was that the case with you?

A partner mentioned having their enemas given while lying in an empty tub with legs open wide, straight up resting against the tub wall by the faucets with bag hanging down from the shower hear. So as they say "three guesses and the first two don't count" you can guess how my enema was given after that when we were together.

@rubberpear The suppository is greasier and smoother than the skin, also the finger is thicker.

Even with a glove one feels it. I got a digital rectal exam when I was 9 and definitely I felt it thicker and deeper than a suppository.

What you describe sounds like an old style high colonic lavage. Was there a long, soft rubber tube, perhaps 1 cm outside diameter or somewhat more, that was inserted into you bowel a long way? That's what is usually used.

Up until I was about 10 I was always given an enema in the legs up position. I enjoy that position now when my buddy gives me an enema. I like to see the enema bag and his face as he gives me the enema.

Yes. This procedure is called a siphon enema. This is done now, especially in pediatrics, but much less frequently than before. A thick tube with a diameter of at least 1 cm is inserted, but it is placed only for the duration of the enema, and then a gas outlet tube is inserted into the child to remove residual water. She is always placed under the supervision of a physician by two or three nurses.

This is how I got enemas as a child from mom. On the bathroom floor with legs straight up. Now I lay on my back on the edge of the bed with my feet on the arms of a chair. This gives my wife access to my bottom. Laying on your back does hinder the flow at times. I have a flow meter and it will be spinning nicely then it will start to slow down. I push my abdomen out and it starts flowing faster again. This goes on through the whole enema. I would do knee chest but then it's harder for her to play with me.

This is the position I enjoy the most. Actually, I enjoy it when my upper back is flat but the lower back and hips are raised. I really enjoy the feeling of the water making its way into the turns of the sigmoid and beyond and in this position, the door is wide open.

Most of the childhood enemas I remember were given with me on my back and legs up
