The First Enema Bag you bought for yourself

Don't remember which drug store it was. I was in my late teens. I got a combo hot water bottle/ enema set, in that classic pinkish rubber color. It came with 2 nozzles, a little straight one (which I was used to from the bag in my family's home), but it also had the long fluted douche nozzle with the multiple holes, which became my favorite at the time. I used to hide my bag under the dresser in my bedroom. There was no surface underneath the bottom drawer. I'd pull the drawer out of the unit and stash my stuff on the floor underneath. No one else had any call to remove the drawer all the way, so it was a safe spot.

The first syringe I bought was a Rexall Defender Travel syringe, like this:

Mine is not quite the same as the pic because the bag and hose are both red latex, not natural color.

I bought it on the way home from school one afternoon at a Rexall Drug store a bus stop or two beyond the place I usually changed buses,

having seen one in the window of a different Rexall store. It took me a long time to save up enough allowance. Ah, the days when enema and douche bags were displsayed in drug store windows. 😃

The douche nozzle is somewhat smaller and slimmer than the usual. I've never seen a nozzle like it on any other syringe. The enema nozzle is standard.

Perhaps 10 years later, while visiting a married friend in his apartment I needed to pee. On a shelf, just to the left of the toilet in a small basket, I saw a very familiar red fabric case and sneaked a look inside. Sure enough there was a bag, exactly the same as mine, with the douche nozzle attached.

Rexall sure made some nice toys!

First bag purchased was the classic red combo kit from Walgreens. Almost always used the douche nozzle as it was longer and felt better. Eventually purchased a quality bag from Optimal Health Network which I use to this day! Is semi transparent so you can observe the water level as it changes! Came with a quality heavy duty hook as well!

I don't even remember when I bought my first "cheapie" bag-likely a red bag with black phenolic nozzles popular back I the '60's. My first (and last) quality bag is the fifteen year old Klystra brand 4 quart silicone bag that I presently use. It is holding up well with no issues. I treat it well and it treats me well! It came with a chrome "S" hook for hanging it and also included the "standard" Klystra phenolic nozzle set of various diameter nozzles and rectal pipes.

I have never had an enema since my childhood and I have been in love with it for like 5 years. I am always so shy to get my self one so today I decided to give myself one. I i got in the bathroom and I removed the head of the shower. It was just the tube and i connected . i lay down in knee chest and I slipped it into my rectum then slowly turned on the water. It was a great feeling but i couldn't take it more than one minute then i turned off the water. I i tried to hold it but I couldn't hold it more than 2 or 3 minutes. I guess the next time I will get more water and hold it for longer and I will try cold water

I bought my first enema bag at a drug store in another town, when I was about 20. Bought a whole bunch of unneeded sundries too because I was so nervous.

Going back to the fist post, here's a link to google search for the Iris Davol bag that was mentioned:

I enjoyed reading that post and could feel the excitement in buying that bag and bringing it home. Don't think I would have had the nerve to ask for a bag with older nozzles, but glad the older gentleman went back and found one. Also interesting that he slept with that bag.. Brings back memory of when I sneaked my mother's enema bag with it's back curved douche nozzle and slept with it.

The Paris 3 quartcombination bag red rubber

Nothing exciting. Just a combo back from Wal-Mart. I remember telling the friend that was with me something to cover for it’s real use. I was so glad that when we got back home he had to go and I could play with my new bag.

The first enema bag I bought was when I was still student nurse. I needed extra income, so I have decided to provide medical services in the flat I was then living. I got it from local pharmacy. It was standard blue enema bag with vaginal and rectal nozzles, as far I can remember 1 litre capacity. I also got few tubes of vaseline for lubrication.

This first enema bag served me for good few years.

Early 70's, I'm 22 years old. I went into a local pharmacy, and was studying the rubber goods section, about mid-aisle from pharmacist station at the back of the store. I wanted to buy a combination syringe, but before I could decide which one to buy, a sales clerk, in her 40's or 50's, asked if she could help me. Feeling trapped, I quickly grabbed an 8 ounce Davol bulb syringe and stated my wife (non-existent of course) sent me to buy an enema bulb for a six year old. The clerk took the box from my hand, withdrew the syringe, and said " Oh my, this is much too big for a child. You need this 2 ounce syringe." I asked if she was sure, so she then held the bulb over her head, and yelled to the pharmacist " Is this enema too big for a 6 year old?" The pharmacist yelled back the bulb would be fine, and I proceeded to purchase it and leave. I still wanted a bag enema. There was a small variety store at the edge of town. I visited it several times to see if they sold rubber goods. Did they ever. The display was an aisle end cap, and located within easy view of the checkout counter. There was a fair assortment of enema and douche bulbs, about five styles of bags, and most unusual, two or three bins with enema and douche nozzles to be sold separately. Each time I visited the store, the same mid- thirty to forty year old woman was manning the checkout, and of course she could see me checking out the display. I finally decided on the top of the line combo- a Miller two and a half quart combination syringe. The box claimed "hospital quality". The bag and tubing were made of heavy duty translucent material, and the bag had half quart graduations molded into the sides. I purchased the syringe without a word being said to the clerk. In hindsight, I think she was one of us, and I probably missed an opportunity that doesn't happen very often.

I had moved out on my own and had finally worked up enough nerve to go shopping at the corner Rexall drug store. Of course the elderly lady who work behind the counter had to come over and see if I needed any help with my selection. Directing me to the red combination 2 quart closed top bag she explained it could be used for enemas, douche and as a hot water bottle. By this time I was very embarrased and ready to make my purchase. I think she was trying to put me at ease but she was having just the opposite effect.

The first enema bag I bought is a yellow Faultless with white hose from a clearance store in the early 80's. I have just posted pictures of it, and it still performs very well. I replaced the white nozzle with one of my favorite old black douche nozzles, but other than that it is all original. I experienced many of the same anxieties that others have posted when going through the check out. The woman at the register just said hello and rung up the item. This clearing house was buying up old stock from businesses that were closing, and as many of the mom and pop drug stores were being shut down by the big chain drug stores, I found many opportunities in the following years to make interesting purchases.

Gosh for me I would guess it was in the mid-late 90's, I wanted to do some enema play but didn't have a bag at the time. I ended going to a department store called Caldors (I dont even think they exist anymore). I can remember walking up and down the aisle with the fleets, suppositories, and enema bags for what seems like a really long time, getting up the courage to buy it. I finally did and ended up picking up a couple more things to carry so the enema/douche combo bad would be hidden until the very last moment at the register

@Vicki80: There was a Caldors dept. store up here where I live -- did not know they sold enema bags. But by the 1990's I had gotten over my fetish of having to embarrass myself by buying enema bags in pharmacies and dept. stores. Buying in a large store, especially those with multi-dept checkouts, were the worst (best) places to experience that guilty/embarrassing feelings that compelled me to buy enema bags.

I like the way you purchased other items to hide you combo bag purchase..

The seemingly more embarrassing the purchase would be, the more I was compulsively drawn to actually doing it. For example, the worst I can remember was from the health section of Alexander's dept. store. Two reasons for this - first they had multi-register checkout stations where items from any section could be paid for, and each station usually had two to four registers open with line of people at one time. Second reason, the enema bags sold in this store were not packed in boxes, instead they were placed flat in clear plastic wrap, with the tubing, nozzles, etc. all clearly viewable!!! So you would be standing on line clearly holding and enema bag!

I was 21 and had just started a job in Dallas in 1974. I went to a large department store and in the basement was the home and health section. In a glass case they had several combination syringes displayed. A middle aged clerk asked if she could help me. I said I wanted the combination syringe set. She smiled and brought out a new boxed syringe from underneath the display. I paid her and left the store. As soon as I got to my car I opened the shopping bag and opened the syringe box. It was a closed top Davol red rubber bag. The smell in the car was amazing. I drove home and quickly gave it a test run. I wore that bag out.

Jimmy, the first aroma from a new bag, along with the rubber texture, were an instant erection for me!

Give the bag proper care and it really does not wear out

You can replace valves and hoses.

When I was growing up my parents always had a bag available. Sometimes it was put away in the closet but often it hung on a hook on the bathroom wall. It was used mostly by my mom but others in the family, including me, used it too. While away at college, I never had any enemas and shortly before we got married when my fiancé mentioned something about douching, I knew exactly what to do. I don’t remember where I got the red combo bag but it came along on our honeymoon and after some discussion, she gave me her first and last enema. It wasn’t her thing and I’ve let it go at that, but I had a bag again and it got used a lot in the next 10 to 15 years. Oh... later she bought her own douche bulb. That worked for me a few times too. I was recently surprised when I couldn’t find a bag to buy in several stores. I was told that there isn’t enough demand for stores to stock them any more. (It was kind of fun seeing embarrassed young clerks talk about bags.) Another retail casualty! I guess I’ll have to succumb to an online order one of these days.

I was 16 and I went into the Al Rexal on Fairfax blvd. Bought an amber 2 qt. Folding bag. My favorite to this day.

I did not have to buy my own bag until I got married and moved out of the family home. I bought a Faultless Combination syringe similar to the one mom had bought for us earlier. From as early as I can remember there was a bulb syringe kept under the sink in the bathroom vanity. My sister and I played with it and used it on ourselves from a very early age. About the time we hit puberty, a combination bag appeared there too. So there was never a need to buy my own things. My sister and I both put those things to good use.

By time I was twelve, mom knew I was giving myself enemas. Maybe she knew before that but she never said anything. Mom was quite neutral on enemas, never discouraging their use, but also never giving them too frequently or for no reason when we were younger. Starting from those early days playing with the bulb in the bathtub, I gave myself way more enemas than mom ever did. Even if she knew I was doing it, I am sure she would have been surprised at how often I was doing it.

I was 21 and had just started a job in Dallas in 1974. I went to a large department store and in the basement was the home and health section. In a glass case they had several combination syringes displayed.

I had forgotten about trying to buy a fountain syringe when it's displayed like you mentioned. That makes purchase difficult. I've bought so many bags from so many stores, I cannot remember if I ever did that; don't think so but I do remember buying from pharmacies where syringes were located behind the checkout so you'd have to ask for one..

I recall buying one from Klyster. Too bad they went out of business. You can’t get bags like they sold. Most do t have the character of the Paris bag or the share a bag. Oh well

Here we do not have Enema Bags. We just have the hot water bottle part but no attachments. We have what is called in Spanish "Irigador",and irrgator. It is a 2 liter plastic jug that comes with the attachments, That is the first I bought when I was 16 and have had to buy many since because the turnkey wear out and the hose always gets splits at the attachment part. They are expensive but well worth it. They do last a few years. We also have the disposible "Enemol" which is like the Fleet enema, but I hate that.

Cheryl...playing with a bulb in the bathtub brings back all kinds of memories. I had forgotten all about that! I was young and quite the explorer!

I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was in the summer of 1974. I was 15 and an enema pro (hardly). I got enemas since I was a kid and love them. Well anyway, I saved up my money and went to the drug store on Kings Highway in Brooklyn. Back then, there were many different enema bags on display not like it is today. Being limited on funds, I picked out a thin yellow traveling fountain syringe with a white hose and black nozzle set. It was a two quart size. I went up to pay for it and the pharmacist gave me a funny look, I almost died. Well I had the bag hidden in the ceiling of the basement and used it whenever I had the chance. MISS those innocent days.

I was around 20. I bought a latex “fountain syringe” that looked a bit like the BF Goodrich Sojourn bag that mom used on me when I was younger. Even today I’d love to find a similar enema bag. I’ve seen some that come close.

The first “Bag” I ever purchased was quite late by comparison to others here, simply because Douche Cans / Irrigators were more prominent both domestically and medically. I've since accumulated a significant number of “classic” Enema bags as I collect medical ephemera.

Naturally as one might envisage, some just had to be put to the test.

My mom always had her enema bags hanging in the bathroom.my mom stopped giving me enemas I was around 11 /12,,I hated getting enemas but ones they stopped I started craving them and soon started sneaking enemas on my own using my mom’s open top feminine douche bag with a long black douche nozzle.i don’t know why I chose to use the much larger douche nozzle but I did .I’m sure she knew now thinking how I would leave the douche bag dripping wet after. At age 16 I had the basement apartment to my self and decided to get my own enema bag.

i went to a pharmacy out of our Neighborhood and walked to the feminine products and picked a beautiful open top feminine douche bag,I was so nervous walking to the counter to pay for my new feminine douche bag there was a older woman she looked at what I put on the counter and looked at me and smiled,I always wonder whay she was thinking,I never went back there but now thinking about her I always wonder 😊

In a pharmacy the blue Pic bag 2 liters at age of 20.
