Dear Lucy, I think I can fully identify with you as regards
the Higginson. I got my first enema with that,round about age 4. Even though it was only a few squirts,I enjoyed the
gentle pumping sensation right from the start(so much so that I never whinged when I had to get enema'd and Mummy
praised me for taking it so well). As I got older ofcourse
I was able to take more, and wasnt shy to ask for it!
I got real fond of that dear old rubber pump,the dull reddish color and stubby black nozzle.Somehow the bathroom
wouldnt have been the same without it.
I rember once when I was about 11 Mummy wanted to get a
douche can for me, and I made a big fuss and pleaded with
her not to,saying I didnt wanna take it any other way!
And so like you I got hooked on the Higginson from an early
age. Mummy gave me some lovely soapy enemas well into my
teenage years(and ofcourse some lovely feelins too!)
The way I see it the Higginson syringe is a marvelous
invention, small,portable,easy to clean and if properly
looked after should last many years. The gentle pumping
action makes it easier to take slowly in stages. I remembr
how Mummy would start off by slowly squeezing it in, and if
I complained of any discomfort,she would stop, massage my
belly for a while and then continue pumping till I felt full
Maybe it took a bit longer,but then I believe a good enema
should never be hurried.
That was nearly 40 years ago, sadly however Higginsons seem
hard to find in most drugstores now (though I'm told they
are still popular in many third world countries)
Nowadays it seems most mothers in this country choose to
enema their kids with bags,bulbs or disposables such as Fleet.
Although the Higginson can be easily self administered,
bear in mind that in order to get the most out of it, you
really need to a highly skilled enemate to give it to you
(ie someone who is sensitive enough to be in touch with
your feelings throughout the process) I do hope you find
a suitable partner.....I know it took me quite a while to
find mine.
Love Debby
