Fleet Enema's?

Contributor: jg19 jg19
Should my wife and i use a regular enema from a pharmacy? She bought a two pack of enema's from a store and she said she felt like she had given herself diarrhea. So not exactly the best feeling to have before we try anal for only the second time. Also do they make some that dont have a laxative in them or should we just try a reusable one from colt?

Perceptive forum discussions on Anal douche:

Finding the best anal douche?
I love anal and what to stay as healthy as possible doing so. I know lots of water and practice help tons, but so does a regular cleaning. I've heard.

Douche
How well do douches work? I was just wondering because I may need this in the future. And are douches only for cleansing or can they give you sexual..

Enemas: Are They Necessary?
Some people view enemas as a necessary precursor to anal play. Others believe that butt stuff is never perfectly clean, so why bother? Photo Credit

enema?
Is it worth having an enema before anal play

If you use an enema bag with a nozzle, do you just use store bought or special nozzels for anal play?
Apparently there are a bunch of historic and antique nozzles for anal enema play, besides the cheap plastic black nozzle that comes with a drug store.

Commercial enemas such as Fleet are for medical use when a person is constipated. As such, they typically have laxative properties to soften stool and promote a bowel movement. As your wife unfortunately experienced, this will result in soft stool/diarrhea in a person not constipated. Warm water should be sufficient to clean yourself out for anal play. If you haven't discarded the Fleet enema, you can reuse it with water. I discuss basic enema/douche instructions in a review I did if you are interested: link

There's no need for a Fleet enema or any sort of enema that's high volume or contains chemicals.

You have two options here: taking an enema or not taking an enema.

Some people find that they never need to take an enema or only rarely need to take an enema before "ordinary" anal sex. Before attempting anal play the person who will be receiving can "check themselves out" with a finger or dildo to see if there's anything in the rectum. If not and they're comfortable then you can move straight to anal play.

If there's some stuff in there or you're just more comfortable using an enema then use warm water or warm water with a pinch of salt in it - no soap, no commercial enema solutions, no other odd things. You shouldn't need more than about a cup, and you can repeat it two or three times (you don't need to hold the water in). You can either get a enema bulb or use the Fleet bottles once they've been emptied.

While some may be against the use of enemas at all, I feel that if you are uncomfortable with the thought of trying anal without one you should go ahead. While they can detect changes in the rectal mucosa from enema use, small water or saline enemas don't have a major impact and the rectal mucosa recovers quickly (keep in mind that studies also have found changes in the rectal mucosa from lubricant usage in anal sex). If you are absolutely comfortable with your body and your partner you will be able to relax fully and have a much better chance of having a successful/enjoyable anal experience than if you are worried. Do make sure to plan so that you're trying anal at a time when your intestines aren't likely to be moving stuff around (don't enema, then eat, then try anal - instead eat, take a break, enema, take a break for a movie/foreplay for an hour or so, then try anal), take a break after the enema for 1-2 hours to let the water be absorbed and everything settle down, then use plenty of lube.
