First soap enema. What should I expect?

I'm going to take a nice hot soapy enema for the first time and I was wondering what to expect as far as cramping and holding go. My local walgreens has either the Dr. Bronners peppermint or the lavender. I was wondering of the two soap choices what would others suggest I use for the first time. I can hold 2-3 quarts of plain water with no problem for 5-10 mins. I was wondering if I mix up say 2 teaspoons of the soap in a 2 quart mixture and fill myself with that would it be much harder to hold than a plain water one in terms of cramping? I will be giving myself a nice shower shot flush before I take the suds and then some nice nice deep rinsing 3 quarters after the soap. Does this sound like a good plan for a nice 4 hour relaxing session?

I think everyone is different as to their reaction to soap. I use Ivory and many people here have reported a lot of cramping and many like me don't seem to experience it. I would recommend you first do what you say you intend, two peaspoons to two quarts of very warm water. Take that and see how long you can hold it or 15 minutes which ever comes first. Then I would increase the amount of either the soap or the volume of water (not both at the same time. By doing this I think you will find your optimum recipe. BTW, I would also give Ivory bar soap a try. It's been used for decades. I grate using a kitchen grater to make it easier to mix with water.

I enjoy the peppermint soap. It has a nice odor and I always fast several days before cleaning. I can usually hold for 10 minutes and then feel the warmth of voiding. I then do 2 plain after after. Good luck.

Just be careful you use mild soap. In my initial days (about 2 yrs ago only) I decided to try soap for the first time. I had a 'soft soap' despenser labeled Chammomille and Lavendar. Right after the enema began flowing my rectum started to burn. I stopped it and thought I needed to pant and tough it out. I restarted it and about 30 seconds later gave up. It took 4 or more fast small flushes with cold water and almost an hour before the burn ceased. It was a very effective cleanout but hurt far too much to be fun. Now I just use a little ivory or a few drops. I did not measure the amount on that first one but I'd guess I put in an oz or more of soap. I think it was really a detergent and not soap. It would make one hell of a punishment enema. - Vicki

I use Ivory with castile soap premixed in a peanut butter jar with water.About four onces are use with each three quart enema.Never had a problem.Let the good times FLOW.

According to the Proctor and Gamble history of products located in the lobby if their world headquarters Ivory soap is castile soap. It used to be marketed as "99.44% pure" soap to emphasize that it had no additives. Ivory Snow, which was used for clothes washing...especially during those ancient times when "cloth" diapers were used, was no more than Ivory soap turned into flakes. It was also used in enemas. Actually it was much easier to measure and mix. It went the way of the dodo when cloth diapers became a thing of the past in the middle 80's.

In short, Dr. Bonner's is castile soap with additives like peppermint and Ivory soap is castile soap without any.

I found Kirk's Castile bar soap at the local grocery store. It's pretty strong and it's easy to overdo it when using bar soap. I had pretty strong cramping using it with a 2 quart enema, but it did clean me out. The disposable enema bags that they use in hospitals comes with a 9 milliliter package of liquid Castile soap, which is about two teaspoons, so that's probably the recommended amount for a 1000c - 1500cc enema, which is the size of most disposable bags.

VP,

I had never used Ivory Snow because it had disappeared by the

time I was into soapy Enemas. It seems it was pulled off the

shelves shortly after the scandal of Marilyn Chambers being

the "Ivory Snow Girl", before she was better known as a porn

star.

For my use, I grate up a bar into a jar of hot water, and

give it a good shake. This makes a nice thick liquid soap that

I keep in a dispenser. It's like the old liquid Ivory that is

not made anymore. A couple of squirts in the bag, and you are

ready to go.

My first soap suds enema came at the hands of my grandmother. I was 5 yrs old and was staying with her for the day. I had remained home from school due to illness. I remember that I was over her lap as she was filling the red bulb syringe from a pan of milky white sudsy water. I don't remember the entire enema, but recall that it was very uncomfortable. I recall her inserting the enema nozzle in me several times. I would cry and beg her to take it out. I cried and said I had to poop, but she continued to refill the bulb syringe until she thought it was time to let me sit on the potty chair. I remember sitting naked on the potty chair as grandma waited for me to release the enema. After that I remember her repeating it. That was my recollection of my first soap suds enema...

Yes brownstone. I think you have a good plan to work to there. Personally I think the Dr Broners lavender soap is a little gentler than the peppermint (which is why I use the latter)!let the good sud s flow and may the force be with you

Try a goats milk soap, I happen to like goats milk bar soap with frankincense and muhr. Available from optimal health network. It is also good for the prostate. Its gentle. I keep a bar in an empty instant coffee jar, about 10 oz jar. I fill the jar with water and let it soak. Come enema time I pour off the solution into a two to three quart enema bag fill with filtered warm water then top off the bag. I get a gentle cleaning, little cramping and can easily hold the enema for 10 minutes.

Whatever you do ... make sure you take at least two rinse enemas after the soapy one. If not, discomfort will be your companion for a while. But heck ... you're looking forward to three times the pleasure, maybe more, using the rinse enemas.

Diana's advice is very good and well worth taking. I like hot, soapy enemas of 2-3 quarts in volume. But when I indulge in a HHH double soap suds enema' I always take at least two rinses of at least the same volume as the soap suds enemas. Sometimes I take three rinses 😁 😁 😁

Many castille soap packets have some directions on them and advise to mix with one quart of warm water for a mild detergent. One brand refers to the laxative effect. I will use two packets to two quarts. When I use Bronner's Peppermint, I use about 3-4 teaspoons.

Kirk's Castille can provide a pretty intense enema.

My most common method for a large soapy enema is to use a fountain syringe so that I can add the soap after taking about one third of the enema. This method allows me to get the solution higher into the bowel without the irritation or cramping prematurely. I can take the 2 quarts of soapy water and retain it for about 5 minutes before the peristalsis initiates a strong evacuation.

A rinse or two afterward is nice but not absolute due to time. If you are an experienced enema user, you may come to enjoy the intensity of a good soapy enema.

I read the comments about using Ivory soap in your enemas. Yes, my parents and my wife used to use ivory in every enema, it was common. One person on this site commented that Ivory is Castile soap. I went to Wikipedia and they stated that Ivory is NOT castile soap, but contains lye and coconut acids that release when mixed with water. Apparently, Proctor and Gamble have changed their formulas. Also, Ivory Snow is still made, but is considered a mild detergent.I , personally, would only use Dr. Bonners or a castile soap packet bought at the hospital supply store. Ivory is not the soap of our parents.

From what I've found the Ivory bar soap formula changed in the early '90s to include a small amount of glycerin and some synthetics like EDTA. I know a few friends who still used it in enemas from tradition. For myself, a relatively pure glycerin soap is more appealing because it's less drying.

Thanks for all the responses. I purchased a 32 oz. bottle of dr. bronners lavender soap and used 30 mil in 2 quarts of water at 110 degrees. I sloshed the contents inside my paris bag and mixed it very well. I hung my bag from the shower rod about 6 feet off the floor and got on my knees in the tub. I lubed up my kb-3 tip and inserted and took some nice relaxing breaths. I like a nice fast flow when I take my fills. I have found that if I try to go slow the initial cramping is just too much after about a quart. I opened full flow and started to feel the pressure build then a small cramp and a nice sensation of myself being filled. I took the whole two quarts and just stayed still in the tub. I'd say maybe 6-7 minutes in I had a super cramp and didn't even bother to try to get to the toilet I blew the nozzle out of my ass and a lot of water! The suds were flying 😁 After this initial explosion the cramps subsided and I cleaned everyhting off with the showerhead while I was waiting for another wave of cramps. This time when they came I was sitting on the expulsion throne and thank the lord for that! A massive rush and more cramps then more and oh my god! I sat there for a good 10 minutes while waves of cramps rippled through my body and nice long explusions that came every few minutes. The cramps felt good, not like you have a stomach ache but rather like anal orgasm contractions. I must say that my first soap enema and subsequent 2 and 3 quart rinses really got me off and feeling good. The peppermint is next on my list to try and I only know that it will be some good times with that stuff. I'm going to use the suds for those alone times when I have 3-5 hours to really enjoy myself! Thanks again for all the feedback. I'm sure as hell glad I tried it!

Ivory or Kirks Castile soap are both good for a general cleanout, I wouldn't recommend the liquid soaps, such a softsoap because they are antibacterial, and could reduce the numbers of good bacteria in the bowel.Most of the time I just give myself, or am given a saline enema using salt and baking soda, about a teaspoon of each per quart of water, I don't suffer constipation and I really am not into severe cramping, so the saline enemas work well for me

I use ivory soap but also take a soap stick first.

I'd stay away from soap sticks.too concentrated, and will burn You.If You need more stimulation, just put more soap in the enema.My ex cuts an Ivory bar in quarters, and uses 1 quarter in 3 liters of hot water.I find Castile a little stronger than Ivory....pepperment has that turpentine effect, but is safer.....

Dr. Bronner's lavendar is nice for the first time. It gives a good cleanout with minimal cramping as long as you don't overdo the soap. Don't forget to rinse.

A soap enema is very efficient if you are constipated, but take one advice: once the enemas is over, stay near the bathroom, beause the cramps may come inexpectedly, and be so strong you just can't hold; and then, what a mess!

I tried Kirk's Castile bar soap only once and I could not make it past the 3rd deep breath ! 60+ years of Ivory still works just fine for me.

Yes, I tried ivory soap before my first enema. It really cleaned my insides out but boy make sure you stay near the restroom when its time to go.

Ivory soap and Dr. Bronners are both good choices. I use 1 oz in 3 quarts with a temperature of 105F. The stimulating effect of the volume and the soap will produce a thorough cleanout all the way to the cecum.

Of course, more fun is to be had with the rinse enemas of plain water to remove the soap residue.

Enjoy!

Back in the enema Golden Age, bar Ivory seemed to be the most popular additive, even recommended in a couple of home nussing book I have seen from that era. Swishing the bar until the water turns only slightly milky should avoid cramping and other side effects.

There used to be "castiles" enemas soap that came in little pre measured packets. They came about 20 to the box but I haven't been able to find them for some years at the pharmacy.

I tried the soap enema about three years ago. I used the soap of Marseille with 2.5 liters of warm water. Honestly I have not had any problems either during nor after the enema.

However I prefer a normal enema of warm water and baking soda. No soap!

My mom used ivory flakes in the open top enema bag. But I do not use soap in my enemas because I am concerned that it would be too destructive to the healthy microflora that dwell in the bowel.
