Hm, I have IBS so sometimes it just doesnt work out, but I try to have a bm an hour or two before launch time, sometimes using a "dry enema" of a 2-10 CC's of lube in an oral syringe, usually about 3. I use these to trigger BM's as desired, usually it works. I don't use any lube that contains glycerine, paraben, sweeteners, glycols, etc.

Repeat until I seem cleaned out with no residue on a baby wipe shoved a bit inside. Baby wipes are the norm for me, showers are frequent. If things just aren't cleaning up, abort launch, maybe next week. (In other words, eating chili, lentil stew, spaghetti with meat sauce, etc. the night, or in my case up to three days before qualifies as bad planning.)

At T minus 30 to 10 minutes, if nobody nosy is home, I put on a teapot full of water and pour it into a heavy pitcher a third full of hot water, then toss the toys in to preheat. (This is a ceramic "art" pitcher with a smooth glaze that can be filled with boiling saturated saline to sterilize) This water is very hot, I can barely dunk my fingers in it, but it will cool and the toys cool fast once out.

Off to another dry enema just to be sure and for prelubrication. Clean up as needed, then change out the water for fresh hot to bring the toys back to temp quickly and to have reheat water ready. Nuke the lube bottle for fifteen seconds, grab the toys and assume the position!
