Cold or Iced Water Enema Volume

Room temperature water feels nice an cool flowing inside me. I shut the clamp when the cramps start and after a short while they go away. "Click!" and the flow starts again..

Generally I am not a fan of cold water enemas. For really hot weather it's harmless, but otherwise warm but not hot is still the best.

When I have a fever, or am overheated, I find that a room temperature enema is both helpful and comfortable to take, with little or no cramping. Anything cooler gives me an immediate urge to expel and causes a bit of cramping.

I tried an experiment on water temperature vs. cramps.

Yesterday, I emptied the refrigerator ice maker bin into a plastic bucket and then filled it with water. After letting it sit and melt the ice, stirring it from time to time to help the process, I filled my 4 qt bag with the ice water and after I had taken about 1-1/2 qts, topped it off with more ice water. I took more than a half hour to put it all into me using a 3' long colon tube. I did not have any cramps.

Today I did the same thing again, followed by similar amounts of cold tap water and then two with warm tap water, i.e. four in all. I did not get cramps from the ice water, but I got a very little cramping with the warm water.

I probably will try doing it again tomorrow morning. If I do, I will report the results.

So, I do not see the problem with ice water enemas from the cramping standpoint. It would be good if someone would duplicate what I did, though perhaps with less water and see what happens and report it to us.

I have experimented with very cold water on one or two occasions. It made me feel cold, but I had no cramping. It just isn’t the case that cold water guarantees cramping in everyone.

I like to take cold water enemas. Tingles are what I experience and really no cramps... I, also, like to follow an ice water enema with a bag of hot, salty, water. Really feels good.

I tried it again--an ice water 5 qt high enema, followed by a warm tap water 5 qt high enema. In both cases, I took at least a half hour to empty the bag. No cramps in either case. Those who have had ice water cramps either are different from me, or are putting it in too fast. I would like for others to post something here telling of their experiences.

I can't say I'm into cold water enemas, but sometimes on a hot day, a nice slow cool water enema can be very enjoyable, The sensation of the cool water flowing in is very much more noticable than a warm enema, and the cooling of the body is a nice effect on a hot day. No enema is bad....just some more enjoyable than others at different times.

The only possible use for ice water enemas is the old treatment for very serious hyperthermia, approaching heat stroke. Also wrap extremities with towels and soak with ice water. Always insert urethral catheter with a thermometer function while doing this as you don't want to bring the patient into serious hypothrmia.

This would be a good topic for liquidsky to comment on.

Ice water enemas are impractical to use for hyperthermia because of the difficulty of keeping them in. Cooling the extremities doesn't help much either. Instilling room temperature or slightly cool sterile saline solution into the peritoneal cavity is now considered to be the best treatment for severe hyperthermia. Temps above 107 degrees can quickly lead to death because proteins are denatured leading to brain death. It must be done as quickly as possible. From personal experience I was able to save two patients with core temps of 111 degrees. Each had injected heroin and fallen asleep in the sun. Both were expected to die but quickly awakened when this procedure was done. I had just learned of this while studying for a board recertification exam. I was really surprised that it worked!

Thanks liquidsky. Everyone who wants more details on my "Playing with Marshmallows" can check out a brief account on volume and frequency.

Yeah !!!

It's very difficult to receive and hold cold enema. under 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) it's really unconfortable.

Sometimes I use to wait between 2 enemas, and the water become cold. This enema is very difficult to have and keep.

The result is not good, the evacuation is not satisfactory

Now, how safe are these? is there a chance of giving our insides hypothermia? what about that thing when we were not supposed to sit on cold surfaces for health reasons?

I have only used cool water enemas that were slightly below normal body temperature to cool down with. As mentioned, cold water enemas are very difficult to hold, to their effect is minimal. (other than painful cramping and urges for immediate expulsion) I will use repeated cool saline enemas until my body temperature returns to normal. It is also important to note, that electrolyte replacement should also accompany these enemas. (drinking Gatorade or some other electrolyte replacement fluid.

Well by my "like-it-cold" of course I do! I guess I haven't tried the ice cold but more like cool water is my favorite. It has never made me cold but I LOVE the feeling of the filling process, it almost feels like someone is pouring water on my pubic area on the outside. Cool to me is probably 60-70 degrees out of the faucet. I guess the reason I prefer this is the speed in which I can get rid of it and be on my way. I am married and have a teen and a full time job which affords me little time to myself. Cool water is quick and refreshing. Using Dr Bronners peppermint Castile can be an even more refreshing pleasure which I've done with a weak mix and no rinse or a quick rinse after. If you haven't tried it, you may be missing a real joy. Maybe baby steps with cooler than usual and continue that trend down farther the next time.

As a kid my grandmother would give me a cool water enema if I was overheated, usually after playing in the hot sun for hours. I would lay on the porch swing and she would hang the enema bag low so it ran in very slowly. i would lay there and take the enema and usually would fall asleep and wake having to go really bad. i enjoyed the feeling and she gave them to me for about 5 years.

If you want a really unique sensation try this. I do this lying in the tub so I can release as needed. After a good cleanout work a long colon tube into the asending colon using warm water. Then switch to cold water until you begin to expel the cold water. Then switch back to warm water. I hang to large bags with a "Y" connecotor. One with warm water the other cold water. once I have my colon tube in place I switch back and forth between warm and cold water. It's a unique feeling as you feel the change in water temperature flowing around your colon. Don't try to hold just let it flow.

Overall I prefer the feeling of warm water enemas. I have tried a few cold water enemas and do enjoy the sensation of the cold water entering and also the feeling of the cold water on the anus as it is exiting. I have also used a cold water enema to help remove a warm water enema that is stuck and it works fairly well. Once the cold water is injected it will want to come out fast and with the remainder of the previous warm water enema following it and you will feel the temperature differential and know that it is all out. I will usually try a cold one during the warm months.

You are a brave man. I would not be able to receive a cold water enema very comfortably

Cold water say 5° c will produce a crampy feeling deep inside and quite nice to feel it flowing around especially if you are on your right side laying flat . It will cramp but my bum does tend to shut up a bit until released and then everything seems to just fall out and keep going in one long flow.

Just start with say 15° c and see how you get on . You may get chilled so wear tee shirt or something then have nice warm enemas .

@ Alex von Trust -- I have done that, and I find it makes me incredibly light-headed. I think one might pass out and then run the risk of drowning in the bathtub, so please be VERY careful!

Today I put a bunch of ice cubes into an ice cream bucket and filled it with water. After a while the ice melted and the water was cold, but I have no idea of its temperature. I poured the water into my bag and proceeded to fill myself with perhaps 5 qts of cold water. I put in perhaps 1-1/2 qts using a nozzle and the rest with a 36" colon tube. I masturbated all of the time the tube was in me and I came a little while after the bag was empty(I had taken the tube out and put an inflatable butt plug in). I did not have cramps or any other problems because of the coldness of the water.

Living in FL., the heat can often feel oppressive. If I have yard work, etc. to do outside, I insert a homemade ice suppo. up my butt. This really helps to keep cool.

My first cold water enema was a shocker, didn't know what to expect

I took it on the bathroom floor

As I was filling the urge to expel got really powerful and was getting harder to hold

Finally urge to expect was too great to hold and got to toilet just in time to blow it out

What an expulsion, there was no stopping it til it was all out

I put a lot of ice in a bowl full of tap water from time to time and after the ice has melted, put it into my bag and fill myself with 5-6 qts of cold water using a colon tube, and I never have these troubles. I do not know what explains the difference in experiences.

I take a occasional cool water enema after a few body temp enemas. I suspect the temperature of the water is in the 70s but have not measured it. I only do it when I am warm and do not mind being cooled off a bit. I find that "regular" enemas are almost devoid of sensations during the fill other then a slow feeling of the fullness and pressure building up, and of course on a first enema there may be cramping associated with the water flow being blocked. But the actual water going in has almost no feeling associated with it.

A cold water enema has very distinct sensations and as Susie said I too can feel it working its way through my colon. It is an interesting and pleasant sensation. Cramps? Not really much in the way of cramps. I do use an inflatable tip so I am not worried about a cramp and loosing it. If you have not tried it you should. Try it with the water only cool initially and see what you think. Then try a little colder. But back to back cool/cold enemas may not be a good idea except in very hot weather because your body will cool off as the fluid warms up. Pick you weather and maybe do one after a warm water (5-10 degrees above body temp) enema that has left you thoroughly warm.

Unlike Susie I often expel before the water has come up to body temperature so the other thing I notice is that the cool water coming out has its own unique cool sensations that are not unpleasant.

Hank I didn't get uncontrollable cramps either. I just was chilled by the cold. I didn't want to repeat it.

Soggypaws--That is more or less my experience.

Liquidsky--I have gotten chilled from the cold and started shaking, so I put in some warmer water and put on a sweatshirt and that seemed to help. Maybe you could give it another try with the idea of a warm water one to warm you up afterward. I am going to do an ice water enema later on today.

I recollect the first enema I gave myself as a teen upon discovering my mother's combination bag being a cold one. I filled the bag with cool water from the bathroom tap, not knowing any different. When I first found the bag I conducted some research, which consisted mostly of looking up 'enema' in the World Book Encyclopedia. (Hey, this was well before the Internet age.) No suggestion of water temperature was proposed.

I remember enjoying the sensation of the cool water fill in the sims position. I think I took between 1 and 1-1/2 quarts. I moved rapidly to the toilet, cramping and quaking on expulsion. I figured I'd done something wrong and I know on my next try a couple of weeks later it dawned on me that body temperature water might be more pleasant. It was, and that kept me on the bag.

I still prefer warm enemas most of the time, but I certainly do fancy a cold one once in a while.

I also use a cold water enema to quickly cool me down in summer heat and to refresh and quickly hydrate myself. Followed by a chilled glass plug 😉 Summer joys!
