Do you fill your bag from the tub or sink?

I fill from the tub. I find that the clearance in the sink does not allow for a complete filling of the bag, especially a higher volume bag.

I always just use the sink, I'm not sure why. The tub would seem to be easier, especially w a 4 qt bag.

Recently I started using a 1 pt measuring cup which I fill at the sink and then dump into the bag as it's hanging from the towel rack. For some reason, I've lately found the need to be more precise.

I fill it in the tub.

I fill in the tub. Mom always did it from the kitchen faucet.

Always from the tub. It's faster and faster is better.

Mine gets filled from my coffee pot.

I usually prefer to fill the bag out of the sink, because the shape of the tap allows it to fill it easily.

I always fill from the bathroom sink - 2 caps of Dr bonners for me 1 cap for my kids

Ref: #26. Funny how we have these little habits we don't think about. After filling the bag (a fountain syringe), my husband says I always hold it up over the sink with my left hand (we use a metal "S" hook), grasp and open the clamp with my right hand to let air from the hose, then close the clamp and carefully wrap the hose and rectal tube around the bag for carrying to the bedroom. And I always grab a hand towel with my right hand and place it over my shoulder, then ALWAYS pick up the jar of Vaseline that I've already placed beside the sink. Is this a little weird? Probably.

The tub. The spout on the sink is too low to fill the bag all the way. And too slow.

Water from the tub isn't "drinking water" so why would you inject it into another body part from which (a v.small amount of it) is absorbed?

I use formerly boiled water.

I originally planned to remodel the bathroom and put in a taller faucet that an enema bag could fir under.

Once that first pregnancy was twins and m husband had to change employers because his employer folded suddenly due to some stuff that went on at the top, that he had nothing to do with.

Even though I've gotten promoted, and he has 80% recovered in terms of pay we are STILL unable to remodel that bathoom

Water from the tub is definitely "drinking water" it comes from the same place as the water to the kitchen sink.

So for a few dollars change the sink faucet. What's the problem?

At home I fill from the sink as the faucet is high. At hotels it varies but usually the tub or shower head.

I use both. Sometimes I use the sink and use a cup to fill the bag all the way. I usually don't lay anything out except a thick towel. If I am in the tub I fill it from the tub.

I fill it from the sink and use a 4 cup measuring cup to get all the 2 qts in.. The cup also has the Ivory soap in it soaking. Mom always used the tub. when I heard that water running I knew what was coming.

I usually fill mine by siphon in the bathroom sing. I can get a full 2 quarts in that way.

I fill from the tub faucet.

I put a tub spout with a spigot for a shower attachment.

I bought a cheap shower hose and sprayer and an adapter that screws into the end of the shower hose.

Has a nylon barb which connects to some 1/4 ID tubing (all from Home Depot). This allows me to run hose to my bucket ( 2 gallon) which hangs over shower door.

Now I can refill without having to get up

Although if you want to add salt

Or soap etc then you do have to get up. But it is so much easier

If I am using my red bag, I hang it from the shower head and then fill a 1 gallon ice cream bucket from the bathroom sink and pour it into the red bag. I empty the air from the line and then top it off so I get my full (or more than full) 4 qts.

If I am using my 5 gallon camp water heater bag, I take the hand shower head off of its hose and put the hose into the bag. I like to use the camp bag if I am doing a series of fillings, but if just one or two, I use the red bag.

For me it depends which bag I'm using if I'm using my 5 quart flow master bag then it's the tub but if I'm using my new 3 quart blue pumpkin bag then I'll use the bathroom sink

Well as fro me I fill my enema bag from the wash tub . I have a water filter on it . So the water is nice and clean . I also like to add a little squirt of soap to the first bag . I was a little kid of 11 . An we use to have my next door neighbor friend how was a guy . His MOM would take turns taking use to school . Well o many a days his MOM would have us come in and sit in their TV room . An we always had to pass the bathroom . Well on some mornings their laying in the hall way on the floor . Was a RED hot water bottle with the enema tubing and nozzle on it . An next to it was a some TIN cup for filling the bag . So we all knew he got enemas .

Typicaly i fill from the sink, lately i have been taking right from the shower head. I unscrew the hand held shower head from the hose and screw the enema tube to the shower hose, between the two it is long enough for me to be on hands and knees which is one of my favorite positions and the john is right next to the shower door.

For me, it has to be either the shower or the tub. I could use the kitchen sink, but that's too far from where the action is going to take place. I ordinarily fill a 2-qt pitcher with water, mix in the sop, and then pout the mixture into my bag. I cannot use the bathroom sink, because the faucet is too low. When we remodeled the bathroom neither my wife nor I wanted a high-rise faucet. So it's either the shower, the tub faucet, or go out to the kitchen sink.

I have a 1-liter "mini pitcher" that I use. Fits under the faucet, lets me easily add ingredients and mix up solutions, and good for rough measuring. I pour out as many pitchers as I need into the bag.

I take my water to my enema room in plastic gallon milk jugs .My room is remotely isolated for privacy, so I have to carry water to it. The water comes from my water filter tap, reverse osmosis.

Try cleaning the sink. Then fill with water and enema mixture. Pour a little into bag and screw on enema tube. Hold bag up to let water flow from nozzle Then submerge nozzle with water outflowing into the water filled sing. Lower the bag to the floor and water will flow back into the nozzle and fill bag. It works and is a big help when a full bag is wanted,

In our small bathroom, right now it's not a big deal to just fill it from the tub If my knee ever get as bad as m father's knees are now we would need to reconsider

As far as replacing just the faucet, with the whole bathroom needing a remodel, what's the point?? I'm OK with using the tub for now

BTW, don't know how your house is plumbed but mine there is only one cold and one hot pipe going to the bathroom Turning the water on in the kitchen sink it affects the pressure in the shower directly above

Well in our case neither. Not fond of whatever they put in our water...some days one can even smell the chlorine, so we use a 2 liter water filter pitcher as a water prep, then mix and warm the solution as desired. Takes a bit longer but that's ok. Other enema accessories are again washed and placed nearby within easy reach when needed.

I tend to use the tub more than the sink because the water tends to get warmer faster using the tub and putting some salt, soap, or whatever the solution I want to take in first, the heavy rush of the water tends to mix it up better than the soft slow flow of the sink. It is also easier to fit the bag under rather than moving the bag around in the small bathroom sink.

I fill my bag from the tub. It fills faster than from the sink.
