Where was your enema stored - then and now?

When you were growing up, where was the enema syringe kept? I have read of those that were hanging on bathroom doors, possibly even on hooks in the wall near the toilet, or were things more discreet so to speak, in your home?. Was it perhaps stored in a linen cupboard which you might see (with dread or desire) from time to time, and were you aware of it being taken out for imminent use?.

Where do you keep your enema equipment now- any touch point with your history?.

When I grew up the Higginson was kept in an oilcloth bag, inside a box, in a cupboard in the passage between the bathroom and the separate loo. For some reason I never fathomed my Mum kept the cupboard locked. The announcement that an enema was going to be administered was aleays made before the device was brought out of the cupboard to do its duty.

Today, our Higginson simply lives in a zippered sponge bag in the vanity.

When I was growing up Mom kept the enema bag under the bathroom sink. Now I do the same thing as she did I keep mine under the sink too.

During my "formative" years, the enema bag was stored in a closet in our bathroom proper when not being used. I never knew exactly when and if my mother was using it as it was never left "out" for me to see.

Now that I'm grown and in my own abode, I rinse and air-dry my gear thoroughly before storing it back in the bag that came with my silicone Klystra bag set.

My Mother kept her Rexall Victoria Combination syringe in a white storage cabinet that stood in the northwest corner of her bathroom. The hot water bottle was always kept on the third shelf in a small red box with the red tubing coiled around it. Mom always kept the silver shut off clamp open and her black douche pipe in the red tubing. However, the small black enema tip was always nearby.

The first 14 years of my life, or at least from my earliest recollection to age 14, the amber latex enema bag always hung on the back towel rack in the shower. What changed at 14?, we moved to a house that had a master bedroom suite and the enema got moved to that bathroom's shower stall. Also there was a bulb syringe under their vanity. My father used this to "jump start" his morning routine,

I keep my home enema equipment in a gym bag in the master bedrooms linen closet. My wife knows it is there, knows I use it, just not how frequently.

I keep my "for play" enema equipment in an attache case in the trunk of my car. That is where all the different nozzles and bags are kept.

Growing up mom kept the enema bag in a department store paper bag on the shelf of her closet. It hung to dry on the clothes rack above the bathtub.

I keep my enema gear in a dresser drawer and dry it from an IV pole in the corner of the bredroom.

When I was younger, we lived in a house with only one bathroom and it had no storage so the bag was kept in mom's nightstand. When I was 12 we moved to a house with a master bathroom and the bag hung from a hook on the side of the tall storage cabinet in there. When I got time home alone, it was readily available for my use. ?

I now store my gear in a box in my closet. My wife knows I use it, just not how often.

I recall when growing up that the enema bag was usually left hanging on the shower curtain rod in the bathroom.

My parents kept the smaller bulb syringe in the cabinets beneath the sink.

Now, I store my enema bag in its box in the small closet in the bathroom. I store it only when it's completely clean and dry.

Seems like most of the time now, it's hanging in the bathroom from the shower head thing.

My Mom used to hang the bag on the back of the bathroom door for everyone to see while drying. The nozzles were kept on the top shelf of the medicine cabinet. There were more than a few times when home alone I experimented with that douche nozzle. But cleaned it well and made sure it was dry when I put back. 😃

When I was growing up after it dried it was kept in a closet in the bathroom up high. One shelf had alcohol, bandages etc. Another had towels, wash clothes etc. Another had stuff for colds, thermometers, humidifiers etc. Soap was kept on a shelf as well. Under the sink was toilet paper, douche and things that go together I guess. But it always had the powdered massengill douche smell.

Now it's sort of funny and I have never thought of it before but, my bathroom is set up the same way.

We have so much stuff that we keep it in a chest in the dressing room. The regular bag stays hung from the shower curtain to drain and dry, though we never give it long enough between uses. Most days, it's busy at least twice!

The 3oz bulb syringe, the 10 oz bulb and 2 quart bag and 20" colon tube were all kept in the bathroom, yes the bag hung on the back of the door.

Today my caretaker keeps it in the exam table drawer

Growing up our enema bag was hung on the back of the bathroom door under my mothers house coat..You could see the outline of the bag and when you closed the door hear it slap against the door....After an enema it was hung on the towel rod to dry.....

When I was growing up, Mom kept our enema bag in it's box in one of the drawers of her bedroom dresser. After use it was hung from the shower head in the bathtub to dry overnight, then returned to it's box in her dresser drawer. At my grandparents' home their enema bag was kept hanging from a hook inside a large cupboard next to the sink with a purple cardboard box of about a dozen various size and shape nozzles (long, short, various thicknesses, straight, curved, bulging at the end) sitting below it. Beside that there was also a quart bottle of Castor Oil and a tablespoon for administering it, a large jug of green liquid medicinal soap used for making soapsuds enemas, and 2 jars of Glycerin Suppositories (one children's size and one adult size). When my cousins and I were visiting my grandparents for any length of time we usually ended up being subjected to one or more of those dreaded treatments.

Growing up, we had a "Fountain" kit (enema/douche nozzles and hose) that connected to a standard hot water bottle. The hot water bottle was kept in its own box on a lower shelf of the linen closet (just across from the bathroom). The Fountain kit was tucked into the back of the top shelf. It would be moved to the bathroom as part of the enema preparations.

After use, the hot water bottle would be hanging from the shower head with the hose/nozzle would be draped over it until they had dried. It would return to the closet the next day.

Once I had my own equipment at my own place, it hung from the shower most of the time. It was an open top style, so easy to fill from the shower spray and ready to use whenever the need or desire struck. If I was expecting company, I'd move it under the sink or into my bedroom closet.

I don't ever remember getting enemas when growing up and am quite sure that my mom never had an enema bag. As for ours, I keep it in the vanity under the sink in our bathroom. We have a double vanity and the space for the enema bag is only used for my things.

The location of the bag said a lot about when I either was about to get or had just received an enema. When very young I got enemas so often that the white 8 ounce syringe was in its box right on the toilet lid although an imminent enema was signaled by the syringe already placed in the glass jar that would soon hold the very soapy water. When graduated to the red bag enema that would hang from the towel rack hours before the actual procedure as a silent warning of what was to come, after a couple of fillings it would go from the shower rack to dry to the back of the bathroom door for a day and then to the nether lands of my Mom's closet.

My mother only ever used a Higginson syringe, not on me I'm happy to say, and it had a lot of use so spent time in a bowl of thick soap in the bathroom. When not in use it was in a lower draw of the bathroom cabinet in the Ingrams perfex enema box

Until I was six years old, the equipment that was used on me, was stored in my bedroom, where they were used on me. I guess that my mother kept hers in the bathroom, though I don't know exactly where.

Then we moved to a much larger six-room house, where I started giving myself enemas when I was 8. the enema equipment was kept in the bathroom linen closet.

When I was 13, we moved to a 9 room house, with a bathroom adequate for taking enemas comfortably. The bag, can, bulb, solution jar, suppositories and disposable enemaswere stored there. the oral laxatives, in my room.

When I was 18, we moved to another 9-room house, with two large bathrooms, perfeect for lying on the floor for enema adventures. The equipment, now only used by me, was kept in a multi-panel cupboard under the sink, in a cabinet drawer.

After marrying, in 1978, we moved into a two story apartment, with the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. We used one bedroom as the computer room. The other one we used for the usual activities, including me getting enemas, suppositories and oral laxatives. Our bathroom was really small, so, although we stored our toys in there, she always gave me the rectal and oral laxatives in the bedroom.

Later, we moved to a different house, where, for the first time, the bathroom was all the way across the house from the bedroom. We kept the bag and bulb in the tiny bathroom, and the suppositories and oral laxatives in the bedroom.

Then we moved back into the house that I'd lived in just before getting married, so as to take care of my mother. The bathroom was the next door down the corridor from the bedroom. We stored our bags, can, syringes and containers in the cupboards under the sink, and the suppositories, disposable enemas and oral laxatives in a bedside table in our bedroom.

After many years, we lived separately. I would bring our laxatives and toys from my place to hers, and back again, on my bicycle, 4 miles.

A year later, moved into a another two story apartment. We had, for the first time, a tiny half-bathroom inside our bedroom. That was convenient. We kept the bag under the sink, and the other toys in our room. Upstairs, we had a small full bath where we stored nothing.

Now, we live in a house where, in our bedroom, we have the tiniest full-bathroom imaginable, where there isn't even room to squat. So all of our enemas are done in the bed, on the bedroom floor, or in the tub, and we keep our toys in variously a closet in our room, in a drawer of a bedside table,and under the bed!

Growing up, it was stored in one particular drawer in an old, antique dresser that my Dad's parents gave him when he got his own place. ended up in my room, because that was the best fit space-wise and aesthetically. Most of the rest of it was junk.

That was the desktop computer era Everything except the keyboard and monitor were on top of that old dresser.

At the age of 15 I use the bulb in the bathroom store. My parents don t know my love for enemas 😃 Now all my items arte in the bathroom 😃

My mother usually kept her red open top enema bag hanging on the back of the bathroom door on a hook. If we were to have expected guests she kept it in its box on a shelf in the bathroom closet next to a large jar of vaseline.

If she was going to surprise me with an enema after school, I would see the enema bag with the black nozzle tucked inside hanging on the shower curtain rod ready to slide inside me.

I almost forgot to mention that moms enema and douche bag when she stored it in a box in the closet was marked flamingo.

When I saw it hanging it had the picture of two dutch children on the front of the bag.

Its interesting how the manufacturers of that time tried to make enemas and douches more acceptable to the recipients.

Current place is in a drawer inside a walk-in closet in the bedroom. It goes from the closet, to the bathroom to the bedroom and back to the bathroom. That's its world.

When i was young my mom would hide the combo bag in the linen closet under a stack of towels ,when not in use when in use she hangs it on the bathroom door hook,i hang my bag to dry on the shower pole when not in use i hang it in the walk in closet on the pole and the bulb is in the vanity drawer

Growin up the bulb and bag was kepted in a draw in the bathroom and that's still the case now. Makes the most sense really.

At my in laws house when my wife grew up: in a closet in the parents' bathroom. The bag was either used on-site or taken to a bedroom.

In our house now: in a closet in the parents' bathroom.

In the cupboard in a Boots tin, From the age of 12 I was hooked, I would give my self about 1 pt only

When growing up the enema bag was kept in the linen closet immediately across from the door to the bathroom. The only exceptions was if it was being used or if it had just been used and was on the towel rack drying. My wife keeps ours in the vanity under her sink in the master bathroom. Again the only exceptions is if it is in use or had just been used and drying. Growing up our family enema bag got a fair amount of use, especially for my younger sister, meaning it spent a lot of time out drying.

When I was little my mother used a bulb syringe on me for all my enemas. It was kept in the medicine cabinet behind the mirror. I had to look at it every morning when I brushed my teeth before going to school. I don't believe we had an enema bag because I never saw one in the house.
