The First Enema Bag you bought for yourself

Hi Deb,

Your post sounds familiar. It was not the first bag I bought, but I did have one of the yellow latex bags too. Mine was called the Faultless Folding Syringe. It had a plastic pouch to put it in. It was real convenient for travelling, but as you also found out, not too durable. I have not seen that type for years. Maybe because they were latex? It seems latex is a bad word these days because of allergies to it.

The first bag I bought for myself was a baby blue Faultless combination syringe. Since then I learned by experience that I much prefer an open top bag. They used to be called fountain syringes. Back then Faultless had many different types of bags and bulbs and any drugstore had several types in stock.

Cheryl,

You are exactly right! Thinking back, it was a Faultless Folding Syringe with a little pouch in which to store it. I think mine lasted about three years before it failed. Never, ever used the little enema nozzle that came with it, only the douche nozzle which I'd disinfect in some boiling water on the stove when I was going to use it for its intended purpose.

Those were the days.

Thanks for jogging my dusty memory!

My first purchase was an amber latex bag. Small & easy to hide. I soon discovered that "more is better" and purchased a blue pumpkin bag that held 3 quarts. No more getting up to refill the folding syringe.

Best,

Mine was in the late 90's went to Rite Aid in search of my first bag in bulb. I tried the digestive isle which only had fleet's and that's not what i wanted so i figured i would head to the feminine Hygiene isle. I had used disposable douche bottles before refilled with water and figured i would just buy a couple of them and then i saw the Faultless combination syringe box and a blue faultless douche bulb withe the curved douche tip. BINGO! Same as everyone else i was embarrassed as i walked up and the cashier was a middle aged lady and she just looked at me when i handed them to her so i said i was doing some shopping for my grandmother and she said "awwww aren't you just a sweety" i paid in cash and dashed out...

I purchased my first enema kit not long after moving out on my own. It was the 1970's and i made trip down to the local Rexal drug store. I was greeted by an older clerk who sensing my shyness put me at ease and helped me choose a classic Davol 2 quart bag. I can remember it like yesterday. I was a great combination set that I had for many years.

@vandan33 ,

I had a similar experience purchasing my first bag. It was 1973, and I had started my first real job and had my first apartment. I was not married yet, nor even dating at the time. After years of sneaking around, I relished the idea that I could just leave it hanging in the bathroom out in the open!

My first was a standard Rite-Aid or Walgreen's combination enema-douche kit that I purchased back in the late 1970's. Although I had been into enemas during years prior, my then ex-wife was too vanilla for anything like an enema, so I never brought one home. After that, I thought to myself, "What the hell, I might as well start enjoying some of my sexual fantasies, even if it was on my own". During that time, I ordered a nice green vinyl retention style nozzle from an enema magazine, and Yes, I still have that very comfortable nozzle, and it's still in very good condition after 35+ years of use. It's identical to the one's you often see in some of the older enema vids. Unfortunately, the current wife isn't into enemas, so I'm back to solo when I have the opportunity, which isn't often enough.

My first bags where from cvs, riteaid, Walgreens, and Walmart but now just about a year ago I bought my 5 quart flowmaster bag from optimal health network and now that's all I use

I bought my first bag in the early seventies, shortly after I got my drivers license. With my parents out of town for the weekend I drove to a nearby town, to avoid running into anybody who would know me, and purchased a Davol Comfy combination syringe from a locally owned drug store. I had been self administering with the bulb syringe that had been used on me when I was younger since I was about thirteen, when I had the opportunity, but this was my first experience with an enema bag. It's a wonder I didn't wear that bag out in the two days my parents were gone.

Funny, esp w what a collection I have today.

The first enema bag I bought for myself was a Fleet Bagenema . Cause it was cheap, and because it was available, easy

I can't remember when or where I bought my first enema bag from, but I did buy one of the fleet "bag enemas" which I still have. I'm currently on a medical mission at Puerto Rico. I've been doing enemas for so long, I considered that I might have a problem with a normal bm, so I brought my bag with me, I've been able to get a cleanout once in a while. Usually after about three days, bowels return to normal but they just haven't this time, I sure wouldn't want to be constipated here.

The first bag I owned was just a regular cheap drug store special. Two quart red bag with a white hose and one rectal nozzle and one vaginal nozzle.

The first one I acquired, I'm ashamed to admit, I stole. I was probably 16 or 17 and to that point had only been able to sneak enemas with my mom's douche bag. I wanted a small bag I could easily hide. At some point I saw that a neighborhood store had little douche syringe called a Tiny Kit, and it looked perfect, but I was absolutely mortified at the thought of buying one. I felt really, really guilty about it (still do), but one day I slipped one of the little things into the inside pocket of my jacket. Although I was overjoyed that I could now give myself an enema whenever I wanted, it really bothered me that I'd stolen, and I knew I'd never do so again, regardless of my embarrassment.

Flash forward about 3 years or so, and I screwed up the courage to make my first purchase - a foutain syringe I bought at a grocery store. I was beyond embarrassed, but I got through it. I think I mumbled something about a gag gift - the clerk seemed wholly uninterested in what I was purchasing or why.

As I recall my college roommate had gone home for the weekend (hence the timing of the purchase), and I probably had 10 enemas and 15 orgasms the first couple of days I had that bag.

Most of the enema bags I've had and still have are hand-me-downs from my Mother who had a surprisingly large collection large collection especially given her economic situation, in the 1970s before klismophelia was even defined.

They were a mixture of things she brought from Canada and things that were clearly bought here.

The ones bought in Canada were 2-imperial quart size an the US purchased ones were 2 us qt. All of them. Nothing bigger or smaller.

Once I could get on line relatively unsupervised, which was about 15 I was able to order an Open-top 4qt "Great White" which I have to admit I was anxious to try. Once I really used one of the smaller bags and got myself to clear return I tried it. It was painful, yes but t the time i had not had real sex yet, a it was the biggest thrill I ever had up til that time. But it created another problem. After that 2-qts even 2 Imp Ts just did NOT feel the same. That resulted in my also buying the 3-qt HWB style bag that is the primary tool for my enema today.

I was in college , went to another town with my girl friend , we bought a travel fold up bag . She baby sat at school for extra cash ,. We tried our new bag out a professors house , She didn't like enemas then , and still doesn't 58 years later as my wife .

I did give that bag a good workout solo for a long time till it did what all those thin latex bags do , tore out at top when full and made a soapy all over our bed ! Needed a wet suit for sleep wear that night !!

That's why I've never tried an enema on the bed. I can see a couple of big benefits - more comfortable, warmer, and when you go to get up you're off the floor so it's easier to get up from a Sims or on-the-back position, but the thought of a bag falling, tube slipping, or blowout worries me.

I was attending our state university and as there were several ' mom / pop ' corner drugstores in the suburbs where I had my apartment where I visited same about my sophomore year and purchased a ' Faultless ' combination enema / douche / hot water bottle syringe for the ' princely sum ' of $8.00 .This syringe was very durable and of an actual ' two quart ' capacity and also had , in addition to an adult rectal pipe and long slightly curved douche nozzle , a sturdy plastic ' bag hang ' s ' hook ' attachment for suspending the bag when in use and / or for ' drying ' the bag after use . Both of the above pipes were threaded into a ' female ' attachment inserted at the end of the long infusion hose . There was also a metal ' shut off clamp ' to be fitted on the exterior of the hose . The bag was red in color and the hose and pipes were white . I made this purchase on or about 1967 .

Mom never used anything besides the douche bulb and Higginson on us, so I have have not grown up in a bag-type enema culture (for lack of a better expression). So, the first enema bags I bought were late in my life - a Klystra red 4-qt rubber bag, and the Seeking Health (also 4 qt) silicone bag, a few years ago.

The Klystra bag is magnificent - well-made, strong and durable, real superb quality and will probably last for decades. Same unfortunately cannot be said for the silicone bag. I never fill the bags to anything more than 3 quarts, but still the silicone bag started developing a tear at the hook hole very early on. I eventually had to stop using the hook and had to resort to other methods of hanging the bag. I rarely use it these days - just too much of a schlep.

I believe that Klysra is sadly no more, from posts I read earlier this year. A real pity. Anybody have more details about their demise?

Flburst58, I think you just got a dud bag. While the Seeking Health bags are Chinese mine has lasted well for many years (even loaded to 4 quarts - I fill it up for the rinse now even if I don't take all of it), and I know others have this bag and it works well.

I don't doubt that the Klystra is better made based on reports and the pictures I've seen, but sadly I missed the age of Klystra and Beth Tyler and the like - seems as though they all shut down in the same short period of time.

Sneaky little bastard that i was, i wrote down what i wanted on a slip of paper, went into the Rexall drugstore, and presented it to the first woman I saw. I was red faced from fear (she just thought i was embarrassed) so she immediately went to get my brand new B.F.Goodrich red bag with a black nozzle.

I was ten years old at the time. I paid for it and ran all the way home, and hid it in a storage area in our garage. Didn't get a chance to use it for two weeks, but it was great.

From rexall a 2 quart blue enema bag white hose and a extra attachment box.i also bought more than a few personal items so i could hide the bag while i waited in line..was very relieved and excited when i left the store with my new purchase,

I was 16 just got my drivers license. I have been doing enemas for years with the spray hose on the sink. So I went to the local eckard drug store. It took two trips and about 2 hrs to work up the nerve to buy it. But once I did and got it home a real love for enemas began.

Gape,

In the small town I was originally from, where everyone knew everyone else (and even their business that they didn't even know), by the time I would have gotten home with said package, there would have been at least 3 phone calls to my mother "just to be sure that she had wanted me to buy 'those' kind of things", and to ask if I were constipated. I'm sure the clerks had a good giggle about it when you left.

I got my own apartment at 18. Free from the watchful eyes of my parents, I could do what I wanted.

Of course, on moving out I had to leave my Mom's enema bag behind. I agonized over buying one for a few days. No Amazon then. Would I chicken out? I went to the drugstore. A little Mom and Pop operation, wandered around until I was sure I looked suspicious. Finally, I picked up the box I wanted and took it to the counter. Wouldn't you know it, it was the owners 16, or 17 year old daughter. Too late to turn back. With two people behind me in line, she opened the box, to check everything was in there (or to embarrass me, I'm not sure). I paid, and scurried out of there like a frightened rodent. My plan had been to buy some K-Y jelly too, but that was too much for my little brain. The next day, I walked a couple of miles to the OTHER drug store, and equally terrified, bought one tube of K-Y.

Ah, Buttwoman, you have described to a "T" the agonies of finding enema equipment as a teenager. I used to wander around the aisles pretending to be searching, but in reality, looking for enema equipment.

I bought my first bag in the late 60's when I was in college. I went to the most expensive drug store in town hoping there would be fewer customers there to see me. It was a heavy rubber green combination syringe, 2 quarts with a ribbed/finned surface on one side. I think it was more than $10 which was a lot of money then. Other stores had bags for half that price. I had never used a combination style and although screwing on the hose was a nuisance, it was nice knowing that nothing was going to spill. That bag got lots of use.

How times change- From being terrified of buying a bag, and lube, thinking- The whole world thinks I'm a pervert!

Nowadays- Toss an enema bag, a three foot dildo, a pail of lube, a rubber catsuit, a few floggers, and a ball gag on the counter, and announce I'm going to a party!

My family was very familiar with enemas and douching. Various types of equipment adorned the bathroom as it was left in the open to dry. That small single bathroom apartment didn't allow for much privacy. I had to be extra sneaky to put the equipment to good use. Between age 6 and 12, I became very adept.

My family moved to a larger duplex across town. It was in a nice suburban neighborhood. Several drugstores were within walking or bicycling distance. I was in heaven as I explored the various locations. I had never had this kind of freedom. As an experienced 12 year old, I couldn't resist purchasing my first enema bag with the money I saved from doing odd jobs.

I had my own bathroom in the basement as well. My stash of enema equipment grew to a point that it was practically unmanageable. The top shelf in my linen closet was stuffed with several different items. I figured they were out of sight and reach for my short mother.

My very first purchase was a red BF Goodrich combination syringe. The older lady/clerk at the drugstore was almost too helpful. I was blushing and probably stuttered as I explained what I was looking for. I used the ruse that my mom sent me to buy an enema bag without further details. I told her that mom's had sprung a leak and was looking for something similar. She did show me a fountain syringe, but I was likely upsold on the combination syringe. It cost a dollar more but had additional uses, she explained.

I used it to my heart's content, but was still trying to replicate mom's original red bag. I finally found it and my collection was growing with rectal and vaginal douche bulbs as well. I tried to diversify and become intimately familiar with each piece of equipment.

By the time the family moved again 4 years later, it was quite challenging to pack my collection and get it to the new house without being discovered. I collected some other common items like most kids, but my enema collection was the best hobby for shits and giggles!

I was about 16, and my parents were out of town. I walked a mile to the drug store. I walked to the aisle that had the combination syringes, of Which knew well after walking past it many times. I was sweating bullets when I got to checkout, but it was quick, in the bag, done! Then the walk back to the house with the drug store sack containing the enema bag. The anticipation was killing me the entire way home, as I had to sneak enemas from my parents bag for years prior, and now I had one all to myself to use whenever I needed. This was accompanied by some anxiety over the prospect of someone in our small town offering me a ride, but I made it all the way home. I remember that entire day, enema, enema, enema! It was glorious

How old were you when you bought your first enema equipment to use on yourself?

What was it???

Where did you get it??

When you were preparing to get, or getting an enema from your Mom/Aunt?grandmother or whoever gave them to you, did you ever say, "When I eventually buy for myself, THIS will be different??
