Suppositories and Lube

LaxMe

So far as I know are all the normal suppositories not soluble in water (exception: The Magic Bullet). So it will not be possible to lube a normal suppository by wetting this with water only.

The only time I have used lube on a suppository was when someone showed up with their own homemade glycerin suppositories. They were octagon in shape about 1 1/2 inch thick at the end with a long body about 3 inches long that tapered down to about 1/2 inches. I put a large dab of KY Jelly on the small end and took 1 full minute to gently push it all the way in past the anal sphincter. She gave a long low moan as it seated deep inside her for a period of 15 minutes whilst I massaged her colon gently before she took her first 4 quart enema fill of sudsy 108 degree solution of saline and Dr. Bronners Peppermint Oil Soap. This was to be a very "eventful" enema session.

A little dab of KY on the hole, insert the suppository and then using one of those 8" souvenir 8 inch baseball bats push it in nice and deep.

Just inserted an Acetaminophen suppository for some muscle soreness. Use just a little dab of Astroglige on the anus. Then let it slide right in. Love the feeling as it finds a home high in the rectum.

My mother gave me medicated greasy suppositories, and glycerin ones.

Greasy suppositories being greasy, she usually inserted them without extra lubrication. Since she pushed them in until her fingertip entered my anus, the feeling was unpleasant because of fingernail (she seldom used a finger cot, I think only if she had injured her finger).

Fun note: since greasy suppositories became soft at ambient temperature, she often stored them in the fridge.

Glycerin suppositories were lubricated with water or saliva.

I recall, seldom, her using Vaseline. I think she did not like getting Vaseline on her fingers and that she stopped stocking it after my little brother was able to take his own rectal temperature (she used it on the thermometer if she inserted the thermometer).

Today, I prefer with lubricant - KY or similar, or Vaseline.

I know lube really isn't necessary but sometimes I use a little vaseline on the outside of my anus and a little on my finger before a suppository, it's just the way I used to have it done so it's part of the process for me.

Theres already lube there. I use acetaminophen suppositories if i have a fever so the lubricated thermometer was there first. If i use them for cramps, i put a little on my butt first, then insert.

Amarrynth's remark also applies to me if I'm getting acetaminophen/paracetamol suppositories... I normally have my temperature taken rectally before!

Depends on which treatment the patient received before the suppo. If she had a rectal exam before, she is usually lubed well enough for the suppository. If she isn't, I put some vaseline on her anus first.

@Pecan_nutjob I can relate to your point about "Fun note: since greasy suppositories became soft at ambient temperature, she often stored them in the fridge."

I received medicated suppositories on one occasion when I was a kid and traveling out of the country. I knew what was coming coming my way if I heard the refrigerator door close and then footsteps coming up the stairs. Also that feeling from them being a little chilly going in! Good times... I don't recall that any lube was used then.

When I use suppositories now (acetaminophen mosltly) I use lube unless it's following a rectal temp, since as others have noted there's usually plenty of lubricant left to do the trick.
