Enema Hose Clamps

Our enema bag is 30+ years old which means that it came with a metal clamp that had just two positions: open and closed. I like that faint metallic click because of the nostalgia associated with it. We are all sure programmed at a young age.

I use two clamps, the standard plastic with graduated indents (I like it for a s-l-o-w flow), and my favorite two-position metal clamp from my mother's BFGoodrich fountain syringe she used in the '60s. The "snap" or "metallic click" as Emom describes, when starting or stopping the flow, are among the unmistakable sounds of an enema that we love. I've tried the ramp clamp, but it's relatively silent. I enjoy the sounds more that my other clamps make.

To prevent "roll off" with those GREAT Rolling Ramp clips, drill a small hole both sides through clamp at "full" end. Insert small gauge Stainless steel wire through (or even a paper clip) and turn ends over to prevent it coming out. ( no pun intended).

This will prevent the rolling adjuster sliding out when you get excited and go full flow. Presto. Cheap and cheerful.

You will still be able to slide whole clamp off hose if required for cleaning.

Available from siliconenozzles.com if required.

Use a tap enema nozzle the type they have in europe they are very railable and you can adjust the flow of water easily.

I loved the old snap metal clamps. They usually stopped the flow so as not to dribble water out of the nozzle. I miss the CLICK of those clamps. Like others have said, there is only full on or full off. I usually regulate the flow by either the height of the bag or stand up to limit the flow, bend over for more, or lay down to increase flow. Many fantasies are of being given a punishment enema and being told to give oral sex during the enema. If I am not doing a good job, the bag is held higher.

As a child when given an enema after I heard the click I knew that the ordeal was just starting enjoying the warm flow but knowing that the cramps were to come shortly. Mom never understood that she should have lowered the bag when I started crying and making a fuss. I remember hearing her when she took an enema once and she was whimpering because she was getting some cramps.

I too have found the white plastic ratchet tube clamps can just be 'on or off' depending on the size or thickness of the tubing being used. Using a wood file I removed some of the plastic from either the upper and/or lower parts that compress the tube. Doing this has opened the clamping range so that several 'clicks' are required between on and off allowing the clamp to function as designed and regulate the flow. If you do this, go slowly with the file and test as you go and I think you will be pleased with the result.

I like a rapid fill, so on or off is fine with me. Never had a problem with drugstore clamps.

Silicone nozzles has ball valve flow control systems and flow indicators

These sure are better than the old metal clamp. Those didn't adjust at all.. Off or full on!

I have found it IMPOSSIBLE to find anyone selling the old steel enema clamps. I had one and gave it to my girl. Does anyone know where to get another one? Klyster I think is out of business. Thanks for any information.

Try this- if you have 5/16 tubing , heat the end with very hot water , it will go on & shrink back to a tight fit

SNAP!!! Love the sound of the vintage metal clamp! And within seconds the warmth of the solution beginning to flow in. It's a memorable 1-2 combination.

Amen, Vicki!

Seeking Health has their roller clamps marked down to $3 if you move fast. I got mine - it looks pretty good quality, is big enough to fit most enema hoses, and the roller doesn't fall out easily. Haven't used it yet.

I love the roller clamps, you can set the flow to exactly how you like it and it doesn't move. Those cheap plastic click clamps never seem to stay where you set them and seem to unclick and go wide open.

Really? I've used nothing but the click clamps and never had that happen once. But I never use the cheap white tubing they come with, maybe that's the difference. I always recommend getting some longer rubber or silicone tubing, it makes a HUGE difference during playtime.

Ive wanted a roller clamp but just have never gotten around to getting one. I would appreciate the sturdiness of a metal clamp, but the only on only off setting would not be very useful to me.

I'm a traditionalist - I use the 1950s style snap shut metal clamp. There are basically only two speeds - fast and none, but in the hands of an expert. the metal thumb clamp allows for just the right touch! You can truly "control" your enema and therein lies the art. Plus that initial sound of the opening *click* is all part of the tradition. Ladies.....apply within.....

Even though I love all things Vintage, I use a Silicone bag and hose most of the time, with two clamps. A good quality white ratcheted clamp, which is always my on/off switch, and the blue ramp clamp that allows four speeds, off, slow, medium and haul ass. I like the on/off clamp because it allows me to stop the flow and adjust the location of the two clamps, depending on my taking position. The on/off clamp is also a quick shut off if something fails within the system. All parts in the setup are either silicone or plastic so they all can be sanitized with bleach, without any degradation.

Old school metal all the way. Reliable, never seems to break or wear out.

And when I hear that CLICK from a metal clamp, it still sends shivers up my spine !!!!!

I guess I'm one who just doesn't "get off' on what clamps are used. For me, the cheap white plastic ones that have several notches in them work just fine. I can go from very slow, to wide open in just a couple adjustments of the clamp. I haven't had one fail yet.

Any clamp click gets me excited regardless of material. I seem to have had bad luck with the plastic on/off multiple grooved settings clamp, as mine have often let go due to poor plastic or loss of friction with itself. Maybe I need to find a better clamp supplier. As a result I use one of those for on-off and another adjustable plastic roller clamp for adjusting flow rate.

Still stunned that the plastic clicker clamps have ever failed for anyone. Over 20 yrs of enemas here and all 3 or 4 of those cheap drug store clamps that I have acquired still work 100% fine. I actually am curious if you use the stiff white plastic hose? Latex/silicone tubing is far superior and maybe this is an indication.

Long ago when still buying drugstore enema gear, I did use the stiffer white linearly corrugated plastic hose that came with it. Maybe I'm thinking of those clamps. I started on the two different clamp types on each hose a couple of years ago, but not sure when my last white plastic on off clamp opened spontaneously. Been using very soft latex or slightly firmer translucent Silicone hoses for years now.

@ericmacson yeah, the hose does make a huge difference. The white plastic is so stiff it kinks instead of bends, and insists on laying a certain way, even when it defies logic and gravity! Anyone who's used a cheap garden hose vs a better one will know the pain-in-the-assness of something that just insists on going THAT way when you want it to go THIS way!!

IMHO Every serious enema user should invest in a nicer hose... and make it longer than 5 ft!

It took me a lot of researching before I found what I truly love from the old days - the metal clamp! In the hands of an experienced giver, the addition of the metal clamp can add some audible excitement to the enema. My husband gIves a hell of a good enema and he is in control of turning the clamp on and off which is very exciting to me. It is an "all or nothing" flow but oh...... the sound of that metal clamp going CLICK and CLICK!!!

I think the red rubber tubing that came with the old style bags was a lot more flexible than the modern white ribbed plastic. I've heard it even jiggled very much like silicone tubing when new, something the modern stuff surely doesn't. Maybe the old shiny metal clamps sounded even better clicking open & closed on the old tubing too 😄

Count me among the metal clamp lovers! There is just something about that metallic "click" that sends the message that my enema is beginning! If I need to slow the flow, I'll lightly pinch the tubing, but there's just something about that metal clamp that does it for me.

Have fun and play safe!

Are there a couple of good pictures of metal clamps somewhere? It might be possible to make some. I'm young and new enough to not have seen one.

The sound of the clamp being opened is the best!!!

This is a great thread covering a wide range of situations. I'm in the love the click camp. My mom used only the old style clamps and I do to this day (lots and lots of days). Recently I needed a quickie and grabed the bag while my wife was (supposedly) still asleep. Shortly after a few "clicks" my wife from the bedroom across the hall asked "what are you doing?" Being caught mid flow, all I could answer was "just taking an enema" all I got as a response was a grunt and the sound of the bedroom door being firmly closed.

When I was younger, in my early teens, I whittled a regular looking enema tip out of wood, painted it white and tried it out. It worked well, but I forgot to trplace it with the regular tip. Several days later I realized that I had forgotten to make the switch, but by that time mom had used it more than once but never said a word about it. Never asked, but I'm sure that little slip up let her know what was firmly in my thoughts, and (somewhat) secret activities.
