Mirror mirror on the wall , who is the prettiest enema bag of all

Ok i think of kookie things cause i am a kookie person ,,, but there has to be one enema bag that stands out from the rest as the prettiest bag of all time ,, so what bag was it , what bag would be in The Enema Hall of Fame.

I don't go back so many years, but I like the translucent 4 quart Klystra best.

I also have the yellow and red Sherema bags, the 5qt Olympic bag, used to have Optimum's 6 quart latex bag, but it rotted, and a couple of older rubber bags, but I like the appearance of the Klystra best.

I'm a big fan of my own current favorite, a 3qt bag I bought from silicone nozzles. Admittedly, other than the traditional 2qt drugstore kind (of which I have several) I don't own any others, but my SN bag checks the aesthetic boxes for me.

In my humble opinion the prettiest enema bags of all time come from the "golden age" of enemas. This was the period when they made enema /douche syringes and combination bags not just for the practical purpose for which they were intended, but, out of competition,added style and art work, intended to catch the eye of a potential buyer. My favorite is the bf goodrich no. 35 fountain syringe. On the front of the bag it has an embossed picture of cat o nine tails sitting in a flower pot. Now that is artwork, something not seen very often. I have to admit that it holds special meaning to me as it was the bag that my grandmother had, from which I received my very first "bag " enema. I now own one that I bought on ebay, for many more dollars than I am sure she paid way back then ...LOL

Here is a link (I hope it works) with a picture of one of those PRETTY bags.

I would have to nominate the US Rubber Company and their line of enema and feminine hygiene equipment. I have both the original "Olympic" fountain syringe and it's counterpart, the "Olympic" water bottle. These have been replicated by copycats such as Klystra as well. There are copies in much larger sizes.

The "Olympic" line is embossed with ornate designs that are reminiscent of the time period. The black bakelite fittings are also oversized and are likely the Cadillac of enema and douche equipment of their vintage.

US Rubber also produced a line called the "Royal". I have a white Royal fountain syringe which is also a very beautiful piece from the early 1900's. The orangish red "Royal" water bottle is also very well constructed and somewhat oversized. These could be worthy additions to the HOF.

There are likely dozens of worthy nominees that date back for more than a century. As an equipment fetishist, and collector of such extraordinary items, I have been privileged to buy, sell, and treasure many of those vintage items. I'd be remiss if I failed to mention some of those items that were primarily marketed for feminine hygiene or douching. I have a pristine Rexall HyDaWay, Sojourn, and a wonderful replica of those vintage folding syringes that was produced and featured by Enemarotica.

I posted a few pics in the image section.

Thanks AnneMarie, for triggering some wonderful memories, and getting me sidetracked. I'm overdue for some shits and giggles with another of my best friends...Victoria...another worthy nominee from Rexall.

Okay, a simple question. I've been seeing the term "fountain" syringe for decades but it never quite made sense to me. Why is it called both fountain and syringe if it's an enema bag? What am I missing in the derivation?

Eric

Fountain syringe n.

A fluid reservoir with a tube attached to the bottom so that the flow is controlled by gravity, used for vaginal or rectal injections and for irrigating wounds.

It's called an enema bag when it is used for that purpose.

It is alternatively called a douche bag.

The snow white "Klystra Classic" has to be the number one for me. Not the translucent ones - the really white one.

I cannot recall where I bought it, but I have a custom "Blue pumpkin" handmade bag that is beautiful. It holds nearly 4 qts, and started life as a large ice pack. Hence, it is blue, and pleated so that when filled, it has the shape of a pumpkin. It is relaxing to lay and watch the pleats get deeper as the bag collapses its contents into me. It fills thru a 2"cap which screws onto a collar which has a wire bale for hanging the apparatus. The hose exits the bottom of the bag.

INeedasuds, that bag was made by Faultless in the 70's. The hanging loop is not very strong, as it stretches many inches from the weight of the water. They followed up by offering an open top version of the same bag with a hard rubber collar and loop that held up well. I saw many of these units in drugstores I called on in the 70's-80's. I owned both units, but preferred the open top model. These held about 3 qts., but were flimsy, overall. They were grate to watch as they emptied.

I m more interested in how well it WORKS, that is how smoothly and efficiently it gets the enema itself into me without unneeded problems like leakage, ad does it at the right speed. Fast enough that I KNOW I'm taking enema but not so fast thee is unneeded pain.

Not really concerned about the look , because in the setup, I try not to stare at it, or even look at it too long.

My all time favorite is a light blue Faultless 2 quart open top fountain syringe with white tubing and white nozzles. It came with a white plastic hook so you would hang the bag on the a door knob, shower curtain, even shower handle, etc.

The second would be a Victorian white 2 quart open top fountain syringe with white tubing and black nozzles.

I was fortunate to live near the "Sherema" clinic in Southern California and purchased one of Sherry's 1 gallon enema bags in Red. It was not long before I was able to "comfortably uncomfortable" take the whole bag on each fill and rinse. Fills at 106 to occasional 108 degrees and rinses down to room temperature. I remember one day on the table when the nurse entered the room with not one but two full Sherema bags sloshing over with sudsy hot water and the biggest dildo nozzles you have ever seen. Her eyes almost closed and a big grin, she told me to get ready as I was going to take both bags before she would let me off the table. I was worried for a couple of minutes and then realized she was just trying to freak me out. It worked. Ah for the good ol' days.

I remember many years ago when I bought an enema bag from a small mom and pop drug store, The person that waited on me described the enema bag that she was showing me as being pretty. Didn't think much about it then, just another woman understanding what I needed. It was a red Duval bag.....Anna

The bag I remember most in the 1950's was a Davol Comfy open top. Wonder why I remember it ,,LOL Now I have a Rexall Defender , open top ,red , red hose , metal shut off. and black nozzels. Sort of nostalgic to say the least ...LOL

My favorite bag would be the amber latex open top 2 qt. bag that lived on the back of the bathroom door. Just visualizing it brings back fond memories. / Karl39

Gotta be the Davol amber latex bag. Love to watch the fluid level get lower and lower

Somehow, I don't give much thought to the bag itself.

If I get excited looking at an enema, and I sometimes do, I am thinking about what's inside and what it will do to me when it gets inside ME!

The bag itself is simply the tool that lets me use the Earth's gravity to push the enema into me. I give some thought to the nozzle because that's what actually goes inside me.

But aside from that the bag itself does not mean much to me.

I nominate my 2-quart beautiful pink Faultless fountain syringe (enemas only), white rubber tubing, vintage glass connector and metal snap clamp (Mom's from the Golden Age) attached to a soft 24Fr, 15-inch rectal tube. Older daughter says the bag looks "very feminine." She loves pink. LOL

I nominate the B.F. Goodrich Coronet 26 Combination syringe. Near to my heart since that is what I received all of my childhood bag enemas from. I have bought several from Ebay. Along with the red hose and some black nozzles it brings back memories!

The enema syringe bag I most remember was our home enema / douche system red ' Kantleak ' bag and accessories . I well remember the claim written on the rectangular cardboard box with the bold statement of : ' Kantleak ......... because its built in one piece ' !!! I can see my smiling mom holding the ' Kantleak ' bag as we began our choreographed ' time of the enema ' of which we both were fond of irregardless of our assigned roles . ....... Yes .. .our old reliable ' Kantleak ' is my vintage choice for the ' bag ' ...................

I love white bags...open or combo style.....my fav, which I own is a REXALL VICTORIA.

Second place goes to my shiny red, traditional combo 2.5qt KANTLEEK set.

But frankly, any full syringe hanging in view gets my juices flowing !

Of the bags in my modest collection I've often thought that the Davol Paris has a unique shape

However of the bags which are many in design & quantity I would like a genuine pleated pumpkin bag

Who made the prettiest ??

Truly subjective as there were so many produced & what one might consider to be the best another may find it less than appealing

I love a clear bag best. It may not win any prizes but I love watching the contents of the bag drop as the enema is given or taken. I also love the look on my lady patients’ faces when they see what they are in for. My three quart bag with a French 32 colon tube is a work of art to me.

I, personally, love the sight of a Red Rexall Victoria Combination syringe with a red hose, silver shut-off clamp and either a black enema nozzle or a black douche nozzle hanging above the toilet… That's the kind Mother used on me as a kid. Wish I had one now…

My grandmothers amber three quart pumpkin douche/enema bag with its long curved douche nozzle with a large bulbous head. This nozzle didn’t have three long valleys with several holes in each valley like a normal douche nozzle. It had a ring slit around the top outside edge of the bulbous head where the water came out in a circle going away from the head.

I don't have one of either, but I'd love to have one of the big “Olympic” bags and associated attachments and/or a nice red rubber bag of decent quality, 2+ quarts, again with associated attachments. I'm a fan of closed top bags, although open tops make more sense. I currently have an open top Klystra bag, which will probably last about forever.

During the 1970s, most of the Faultless brand bags sold at community drug stores were sold in a blue and white cardboard box with shrink wrap over it.

You never knew what color you got until you got it home

I nominate my Optimal Health Network blue bag - light blue and slightly transparent so you can observe the level.

For me the bag is simply a component of the delivery system - and NOT the most important component. A simple open-top bag that is easy to fill, easy to clean is in my ‘Hall of Fame’.
