Position changing in high soapy enema

Hello enema folks. have you tried frequent position changing during high soapy enema. with laying left sims. laying right sims. on back and finishing with knee chest?

I use only clear tap water--no soap--and a 3' colon tube. I lie on my side to insert the tube and then roll over on my back. I do not move or change positions after that because of the danger that I might leak.

Yes I have tried differing positions. I find that it gets the soapy water deeper in the colon. Since I like to use very soapy water, anything that helps me to have a long retention time helps.

Soapy, no. Changing positions, yes. Instead of ending up in knee/chest, I often raise my butt up while on my back.

Yes, I do shift positions, much as you've described to get a soapy enema much deeper. I certainly works well for me.

The true positions are left side sims, belly, then right side that way it moves all around. That how they do it in hospitals.

I like to use the knee chest position for my enemas.... Seems to help the water to flow throughout my colon for a deep cleaning.

I decide when I am mixing the enema, if not before what position I am going to use.

I remain in that position until the time comes to expel.

If I can't maintain h position, I expel, wait several hours and start over.

I like to begin my hot soapy enemas in knee-chest position and then move to my back once the bag has emptied into me. The dramatic change in posture seems to help the water get up higher and really works on me.

When trying to get maximum depth into the colon and therefore maximum relief, I divide the bag roughly into thirds. I take the first 1/3 on my left side to fill the descending colon. I take the next 1/3 on my back or in a knee chest position to fill my transverse colon. Finally, I take the last third on my right side with my knees pulled up to my chest in an attempt to fill the ascending colon. This has been very effective for me.

My lady gives me enemas in the left side Simm's position, with no position change. It's much easier to relax if you don't have to move, and makes it a lot better for concentrating on the enema's progression. Retaining the enema in the same position makes the whole process a challenge....

When I take 4 quart enemas, I am on my left side and sometimes will change over onto my stomach.

Initially onmy left side Simms position then on to my back then roll to my right side and retain while on my back with legs pulled up riding out the cramps... Just wonderful to watch the bag empty and hear that little glurp. The sensations as the soapy solution is working is great!

Left side on a varm bathroom floor from start to end works best for me. It happens that I use the Simms or on the bag position, but that's more for the variation. Positions have changed over the years and I guess I'm not finished yet.

Was alone at home from college one summer and had several soap enemas starting prone then moving into a hand stand. It took two lengths of hose and a hook on the ceiling to make this work.

Tried it several time a decade later and I had to add a bat-shaped retention nozzle to the list of required gear.

I do recall reading in some old nursing texts (c. 1930's or so) that when giving a high enema the patient should be asked to move from left side, to knee chest, to right side and onto the back. Presumably to assist the solution to flow deeply and completely into the bowell. I have no experience of this myself, and all enemas are now given in the Simms position, although my Mum used on the back with legs raised. This position for me was the worst and most humiliating part of the process

When taking a 4 quart enema I usually start on my left side, then move to my back, and take the last quart on my right side. By this time I usually have my 30 inch colon tube fully inserted.

There are some nursing texts/instructions that advocated a "Rotating Enema" by administering a third of the enema in different positions. This was thought to be more effective and minimized the number of "enemas til clear" for bowel preps.

There are times when I will rotate for a large volume enema. I also use a method for "high soapy enemas" that allows me to get more solution injected before an urgency for expulsion. I take a pint of plain warm water, then add the warm soapy solution. When rotating, the initial tap water moves higher and seems to slow/delay the irritating effect of the soapy solution until I get the larger volume injected.

My wonderful colon hydrotherapist starts me on my back and really works me. Then when all appears to be done, she asks me to turn onto my left side and hey ho it all starts again.

I try to choose a position and stick with it until I'm really at risk of leakage on the way to the toilet.

Sometimes I do even leak a few drops

I find for some reason an enema in left-lateral (Sims) gets less comfortable somewhere between a quart and a half and two quarts when the water starts to go into the ascending colon. Don't know exactly why, but the weight pulls on something. It doesn't hurt, just feels odd and makes it harder to relax fully. Because of that I'll often start in left lateral, then roll onto my back, and finally finish in knee-chest (or just stay on my back). On my back seems the most comfortable to hold, but on knee chest is easier to get up from.

Usually I start on my left side and remain there throughout, but if I'm having heavy cramps, I can get some relief and take more solution higher up with a rectal tube by moving into a knee chest. It's funny that I still have twinges of shyness and vulnerability having an enema with my butt "in the air," as attractive as it is, hubby says. Lol! I don't think I'd feel comfortable being in that position with anyone else except my husband.

I am a mover. I usually start on my left for the first quart or so, then onto my right for a while, then finish on my back. The knee-chest has benefits when someone is giving it to you but is difficult and uncomfortable when solo.

I too am a mover Starting out in the left sims position. Then rolling onto my back with my legs drawn up. And then onto my right side. All the while I will massage my colon so as to be able to take more solution. Of course I use a retention nozzle like the one in my avatar so it does not slip out during all this moving around.

I used to do that (change positions) while taking an enema, but in recent years I simply stay in one position, left side.

I'm a mover or roller too, like Vandan33, whether it's soapy, saline or just water, usually in the same order. Once I get to retention, I may wind up in any of those, but usually on my back where I'll often fall asleep. When I'm filling, the moving or rolling around helps the water advance better through my colon. And I enjoy the sensations of the water moving around inside and the sloshing sounds. I'm probably able to do this because I'm almost always using an inflated DBC.

For example, while I'm on my left side filling, I can feel the water gradually climb up the left side of my belly, and when it reaches the transverse, sometimes the corner causes it to slow down and cause increased pressure on my left side. If I then roll to my back, it helps the water to more easily move around the corner and relieve the left side pressure.

I am an on you back guy. I start there then cross my ankles squeeze as tight as I can till I feel it going past the rectum into the intestine then shut off the water relax rub my belly and turn it back on. Bag is usually suspended about 4 feet up and the 2 at bag ( to small) empties. If possible I get up and refill bag and go for as much as I can take sometimes the complete bag.

If I start on my side I don't seem to be much in with out really having to go. It sounds like some of you guy go real slow - lower bag?? Dont think I could drift off when taking a bag however but may try it??to

In some texts, the 1-2-3 or roatating enema, is given or taken in the left Sim's position for one third, prone for the second third, and finished on the right side. I find this quite effective for the larger volume enemas including soapsuds and coffee.

I'm one who stays in one position - usually on my back, regardless of which solution is in the bag. I have found that coffee goes in better that way. It's comfortable and my colon is filled with very few cramps.

In the past I have done the left/back/right position change but found that a leak is more likely while changing position. The knee-chest is fun but still prefer my old standby.

Over the last couple of years, I have been using mostly the knee-chest until the bag is empty. If the flow stops for some reason. I may get lower into the Simms since then the height will be larger and pressure greater, Holding once filled can be difficult and on the back or lying prone face down seems to help.
