Subject: Names for enema equipment Author: Sandi [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:59:28 09/06/09 Sun Has anyone noticed the varied names for enema equipment that would often try to make an enema seem to be not what it is? Most people would just refer to it as the enema bag, but there were fancy names too. One grandmother simply had an Asepticon enema can with a red hose and black nozzle. The other had a Faultless Fountain Syringe. The name purposely had no clue what it was for. The bags that I saw hanging in friends bathrooms were called Challenger, Dreadnaught, Sears force flow, and Davol Comfy. It is obvious that the Comfy was anything but comfy when having to take an enema from it. One was called a Paris. That name was used to disguise its real purpose too. My mom used a Flamingo Fountain Syringe that I still use, It has a long red hose and black nozzles. That dreaded enema bag had some Dutch children embossed on the face of the bag. I will send a pic to anyone that requests it by e mail. I suppose the flamingo part was the long red hose that I saw every time she gave me an enema, and calling it the Flamingo was supposed to relieve me of the feeling of the cramps that I felt as soon as she had the black nozzle inside me. Sometimes she would say its time for the flamingo, but I sure knew what that realy meant [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Alison [Edit] Date Posted: 16:42:10 10/20/09 Tue We had a BF Goodrich combination. The box was light blue with a black border. I can never forget that. The enema bag and hose was red and there was a douche nozzle and an adult and childs enema tip. Both of the enema tips were used on me many times. I knew if my younger sister had an enema since the child tip would be on the hose when mom had the enema bag out to dry. Mom also had a travel enema bag that was sort of round when filled. I do not recall the name but I was given a few enemas from that too. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Lauren [Edit] Date Posted: 12:36:11 10/21/09 Wed We had a Comfy bag when I was growing up. At the time I really disliked enemas and never thought of them as comfortable in any way. It was a red fountain syringe that came with a red hose and black vaginal pipe and an adult rectal pipe. Its shutoff was metal and made a distinctive sound and I knew what was happening the minute I heard it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Not usually, it was most often a pause following the tearful plea, please stop it mom, it hurts, it hurts, I can't take any more. Then came the click and the instructions to puppy pant real fast followed by the cramp easing. I didn't have to say anything, mom knew when it had passed by the way my body relaxed, then came the next click and the words, there's only a little more to go. Or was there?

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Janice [Edit] Date Posted: 12:03:47 10/29/09 Thu Ours was a heavy white rubber opentop enema bag with an outline of a young lady and the words Marvel whirling spray fountain syringe. The hose was a white ribbed affair and there were three black nozzles in that flat box, a shoet straight pipe, a longer baseball shaped one and a long curved nozzle with a bulbus end. That bag really held a lot of fluid and its metal clip made a distinctive snap to announce the water surge that would soon follow. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I suppose that it was meant to convey relief from constipation but I was never relieved whenever my mother brought it out. It was red with red tubing and black nozzles. I hated it but years later bought one almost exactly like it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Kathy H [Edit] Date Posted: 17:06:48 11/08/09 Sun We had a Rexall Victora open-top enema bag. It was red with a red hose, three black pipes and a metal clip which announced the start and eventually the end of the enema. How I hated the first click. The flow was wide open and since mom hung it on the shower curtain rod it really went in fast. No comfort, it was painful, but got the job done. The box was black and orange.

[> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Kaye [Edit] Date Posted: 01:36:11 11/25/09 Wed Kathy H., we also had a Rexall Victoria syringe. It was a red open top bag and it had a "ForceFlow" or "ForceFlo" squeeze bulb in the middle of the hose. It worked just like a Higgenson syringe - when mom squeezed the bulb, three or four ounces of water were forced up your behind. This bag also came with four nozzles. There were black hard rubber adult and infant rectal pipes and a black douche pipe. There was also a fourth pipe which was like the pipe on a bulb douche syringe. It was about as long as the black douche pipe, but very thick and it had a white shield that slid up and down it. Mom never used that pipe because she had a bulb douche syringe and it stayed in the box - but I used to sneak it into the bathtub sometimes and give myself enemas with it. I could barely take it, but once I got it in me, it felt wonderful! The bag itself was always hanging inside the bathroom closet, drying. It got used on somebody just about every day, so it was always drying, but mom would put it in the box if company was coming. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Dana [Edit] Date Posted: 05:25:36 11/12/09 Thu I do not remember the brand name, but my mom's equipment was an open-top "fountain syringe" with matching red hose and black rectal nozzles in child and adult sizes along with a douche tip. It was called simply "the bag." Like Sandi's, one grandmother preferred an Asepticon enema can, which I guess wasn't as popular as the Jones brand can but worked well on me a couple times, LOL.

[> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Marlene [Edit] Date Posted: 13:04:10 11/30/09 Mon My aunt Kathy, who was an RN, used a Jones can and my husbands mother, who was an LPN, used a Volrath can. We have both cans and use them several times a year. Marlene [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Dana [Edit] Date Posted: 05:02:39 12/01/09 Tue The metal enema can did seem to be the favorite equipment of nurses for home use probably because they were familiar with them in hospitals. Ease to clean and durability were the main selling points, I guess. My grandmother had taken a home nursing course and the nurse-instructor may have recommended she buy a can along with other sickroom supplies. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Marlene [Edit] Date Posted: 16:02:29 12/01/09 Tue Dear Dana, Thank you for your reply. May I ask if you remember any marked differences between the enemas your mother and grandmother gave you? Although the enemas given to me by my mother and aunt only hade a moderate level of discomfort, both of them gave slow enemas with lots of TLC, my aunt Kathy being a trained nurse usually was able to get more enema into me than my mother could when I was a teenager. My limit with my mother was between a quart and a half to a quart and three quarters, I could never seem to be able to empty the bag but my aunt was usually able to empty the 2-quart can.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Dana [Edit] Date Posted: 05:08:49 12/03/09 Thu Hi Marlene and hugs back. It's a little hard to exactly compare the enemas given by my mom and grandmother (dad's mom) because I'd received more than a dozen by age 8 before grandma's first. However, grandma's seemed gentler because she used only a few drops of castile soap in the mostly full can (I was allowed to watch the prep) compared with the bar of Ivory that mom used. The enema can (I'd seen them only in drugstore windows) made me curious as to what would happen, but I took a quart or more well on my left side, like my mom had switched me to from over-the-knees a year or so earlier. All in all, a nice and needed experience. Do you remember differences between your enemas other than volume? Dana [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Marlene [Edit] Date Posted: 15:23:59 12/03/09 Thu Dear Dana, I’m happy to explain what differences there were between my mothers and aunts enema giving. You mentioned that at age 8 you were allowed to watch the prep, I was too and even allowed to help mix my enemas using a spoon to stir it in a large pitcher my mom used and in the can when it was to be given by my aunt. I also poured the enema into the bag for my mother. My mother also preferred to use Ivory and my aunt a liquid hospital soap. As a side note, my mother sometimes gave herself enemas but preferred to have my aunt, her sister, give them to her, ad vice-versa. They both often said that a better enema could be given to you than you could give to yourself. My mother used an open top bag and of course as mentioned earlier my aunt used a can. A big difference between them was my mother used the standard enema nozzle that comes with an enema set, it was black and made of hard rubber. She never gave me an enema over her knees they were always given with me lying on my left side in the Simms position. She would hang the bag low from a chain looped over the towel rod and kneel on the floor beside me while giving the enema.. My aunt used a standard 20-F, ¼-inch diameter, 18-inch long rectal tube and usually had me in the knee chest position. The enema can was placed on the top of the toilet tank and she would kneel on the floor beside me. When I was young the tube was only inserted a few inches but as I grew older she would put it in further, by the time I was 12 she would have it in all the way except for the last inch or two believing, and I believe correctly, that by injecting the enema higher there would be a lower possibility of early discomfort. I think that is the reason she could get more enema into me than my mother could. And quite frankly the sensations I experienced as that long tube was slowly slipped into me and then slowly pulled out was a main reason I preferred to have my aunt give me the enemas and whenever possible I would finagle it so she would be the one. The tube movement sensation was also the reason I started experiencing “additional benefits” from enemas after reaching puberty. I hope this answers your question and if you have any more please feel free to ask, I would also be willing to communicate privately with you if you would so desire but if you don’t wish to I fully understand.

[> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Dana [Edit] Date Posted: 12:46:40 12/04/09 Fri Dear Marlene: Thanks for the detail. Seeing my grandmother prepare the enema can was kind of a unique experience for me. Mom usually would fill the bag before either calling me to the bathroom or giving the treatment in my bedroom in case of illness. Yes, I think a lot wouls agree that an enema someone gives you usually is better than one self-administered. I find tht true with colonics as well. I never got a colon tube enema, just ones with the familiar black nozzle, but my aunt had a tube attached to her bag's hose (I peeked in her closet, lol). It looked scary at the time. I am happy keeping our exchanges public so others with experiences can join in. Dana [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Marlene [Edit] Date Posted: 14:14:10 12/05/09 Sat Dear Dana, Again, thanks for responding. I quite understand your wishing to keep our exchanges public. I can imagine that the tube attached to the end of your aunt's enema bag hose could have been scary since you had never seen one before. My aunt started me out using a rectal tube when I was very young, she gave me the first enema I can remember when I was 4 almost 5, so even though my mother used a regular nozzle in those years that's the way it was so there was no big deal about seeing what went up inside of me, but as I mentioned before as I got older I preferred the tube because of the sensations that arose in me. From the way you mentioned your aunt’s enema things it seems that she never gave you an enema with it, but do you know anything about the enema giving to herself or family?

[> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Elaine [Edit] Date Posted: 06:06:07 12/03/09 Thu We had a combination and fountain syringe. Both were used for enemas although I never understood how my mother decided which one to use! There was no special name for them other than mom say I am going to give you an enema. The combination was used as a hot water bottle too. For my family I preferred the combination bag but had a fountain syringe for a few years. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Names for enema equipment Author: Donna [Edit] Date Posted: 10:18:32 12/04/09 Fri Ladies, if you yearn for the old-fashioned enema equipment you grew up with, why not re-live those memories by treating yourself to the same things? Go to on-line sources like optimalhealthproducts.com and peruse the large assortment of items--all you can discreetly buy. Red bags, red hoses, metal shut-off clamps, black nozzles of different shapes and sizes. Over the years I've built up quite a collection of classic enema things, and my favorite set-up I use now is a 3-quart combination bag, red ribbed hose, "flip-over"-type metal clamp, and a "Black Bullet" anodized aluminum nozzle. I got the nozzle from the Beth Tyler site a number of years ago, and looking just now, it and the regular aluminum nozzle are not available (sniff!). I've got to tell you that I have such fun taking enemas with my Red Friend, and being aluminum, the nozzle warms up from the warm water flowing through it. That's a special thrill that you've just to experience to fully appreciate. And, taking the enema and getting the added "warm-up" makes for the special benefit of a huge O!! You will spend some money in buying these things, but say to yourself "I AM WORTH IT!". The equipment I have is top quality and it should last anyone many years. Always remember to clean eveything up and hang your bag and hose upside down to thoroughly dry between uses. That will insure long life. Anyone, please write me--I love to discuss enemas with anyone--but, NO MEN! Hugs, Donna enemadonnaw@yahoo.com [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
