On suppositories, it is my sense that Stick hit the nail on the head. Commercially made suppositories do not seem to promote a movement, like they did when Mom hid one in my bottom years ago. Something obviously changed in the manufacturing process, as they are obviously not as strong as they used to be.
Research helped me to overcome the issue, and I developed my own recipe for suppositories of exceptional quality. And, I must give credit to one of our members, for he turned me on to the store where I purchase the pure glycerin soap. My apology for not remembering his name.
I make my own suppositories, and they provide effective but gentle relief; unless, that is, one tries to hold back. And, that’s not going to happen with a Suppository by Hermann. When it’s time to evacuate, you will go to the bathroom…
Pure glycerin soap can be purchased at art’s & craft’s store in the US. Take a small section of it, approximately 1” square, and melt it down in a microwave oven (10 to 20 seconds on high). After melting, and per suppository, I add 4 CCs of liquid glycerin to the ‘soap’ and stir; thereafter, I pour the combined mixture into my mold, and refrigerate for a few minutes. They are beautiful and powerful (but gentle), and anybody can make them.
The mixture ratio of glycerin soap to glycerin is very important. If one does not use enough liquid glycerin, the product is no better than store bought suppositories. Use too much glycerin, and the suppository will melt in your hand before you get it in your bottom, if it holds form at all. Try different ratios until you get a suppository that works for you, or your partner, and you will come away as I have, feeling that a little time with the R & D was very worthwhile.
I purchased the pure glycerin soap at Michael's in the states (www.michaels.com), and then went to Walmart and purchased pure glycerin (liquid) over the counter, 6 oz for under $4.00 US, by Humco.
Delivery… This is an interesting issue; yes? Ssssoooo many of us are anally sensitive, or psychologically inclined, that we would always prefer to have our favorite partner, nurse, or doctor do the honors and insert the suppository deeply into our rectum. I do not have a partner (of any sort) at this time, but am fortunate enough to have some supplies from a colon therapist that I knew in the past. During a professional cleansing, an appliance that is commonly referred to as a speculum in the industry (though not on the order of a vaginal or rectal speculum as we know them in our world of medicine), is inserted through the anus into the subject’s rectum. It is essentially a tube to which the water supply and drain are connected. However, during the insertion into the rectum, an obturator is in place, which makes for the effortless passage through the anus with proper lubrication. The obturator is akin to a plunger in a syringe, but it passes through the barrel of the speculum, and extends about a ½” to 5/8” with a rounded tip beyond the barrel end, to aid in passing the instrument with ease and no discomfort through the anus, into the depths of the rectum. Remove the obturator, put a suppository in the barrel, and then use the obturator to push it home.
It is all really quite simple. And, when a properly manufactured suppository is delivered into the rectum, 4.5” or more from the exterior opening of the anus, it is my belief that you will experience the results you seek.
