We have not used a lot of enema's in our day, but for those times we might, we have used the over the counter box enema preps and those are VERY "laxative" salt water solutions. If we want to use something VERY mild, and NOT laxative, what is a formula someone out there has used and might recommend....just for mild cleaning of the anus and rectum prior to anal play?

Any good advice appreciated. less

Simple and effective: warm (not hot) water in an anal douche bottle. If you don't have an anal douche bulb, but the disposable fleet laxatives at the drugstore, empty them down the drain, and refill them with warm water. Flush out until the water runs clear. less

Yep, water is more irritating to the mucosa, and studies have been done that show visual evidence of this. There aren't any studies of the long-term effects, and no reports in medical literature of dangers (as there have been with soap solutions and the "Fleet" type solutions, which can kill you).

I imagine that the reason people don't do a saline mix (I've heard a shy 1/4tsp salt + 1/4 tsp soda per cup is good, and that's what I use for eye rinses and it doesn't hurt) is that it's another step, whereas the water faucet is right there. less
