ShopEnema - How to perform a water enema?

An enema is a procedure of introducing an enema solution into the colon through the rectum. The motive here is to stimulate the colon to empty the bowels or to soften the stool or both. The amount of liquid to be administered varies and depends on the type of enema solution to be administered.
Enemas can easily be performed at home in just a few simple steps. All you need is a 2-quart complete rubber enema bag kit or an enema can and few other enema supplies.

1. The first thing you need for a water enema or any enema for that matter is an enema bag or bucket. The most preferable is a stainless steel enema kit as it is easy to sterilize.
2. Now attach the enema hose to the enema bucket. Make sure that the pinch clamp is on the hose in a closed position.
3. Attach the enema nozzle on the other end of the hose. Now lubricate the enema nozzle with some olive oil or Vaseline for easy insertion. The enema bucket is now ready to be used.
4. Fill the enema bucket with lukewarm purified water or distilled water. The water should not be too hot to touch or you may burn yourself.
5. Now take your enema bag or bucket to the bathroom and open the pinch clamp slightly to release some of the liquid into the sink. This will help get rid of the air bubbles if any in the enema tube. You do not want any air bubbles to get into your colon.
6. Select an ideal spot and a suitable position in which you can comfortably lie down. If your bathroom is big enough or you have a bathtub, then use your bathroom for the procedure.
7. If you are performing it elsewhere, spread a towel on the floor followed by a disposable enema sheet. This allows an easier cleanup later in case of spills.
8. Keep the enema bucket or hang the enema bag at a high spot. This will ensure that the flow of the enema solution is strong enough.
9. Now find a position which is comfortable for you.
• You can either lie down on your left side with your right leg bent towards your chest. Place a rolled up towel under your head for support. This is the most comfortable position to try.
• You can also lie down on your back and bring your knees to your chest. This position is also fairly comfortable.
10. Insert the lubricated nozzle into your rectum up to 3 inches. Unlock the pinch clamp slowly and allow the water to flow in.
11. There is no need to take in the entire content. Administer only the amount you can take in and hold comfortably.
12. Once the enema is administered, close the enema clamp to stop the water from flowing into your rectum and then remove the nozzle.
13. Hold the liquid for 10-15 minutes before you evacuate it in the bathroom along with all the gunk. Massage your abdomen to get rid of all the solution.
