Subject: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality

I checked out some bulb syringes in our local drugstore the other day and was really dismayed by the poor quality - especially the nozzles.
Badly moulded,poorly finished with rough edges and tips that were too 'pointy'. Breaks my heart to think of some poor little kids having to endure such things up their butts!

How well I recall Momma's enema bulb when I was little, so expertly made and smooth as glass, with a round knob on the end for easy painless insertion. She would just slip it into me so perfectly and never hurt me once! So much trash on sale these days. A sign of the times?

Hi Beth, I have to agree with you. No matter what store I go to I always gravitate to enema area of the store. The only conclusion I have arrived at was they are imported and have very poor specifications given to the manufacturing of them. You're right, a sign of the times.

Beth, seeing the same thing. That’s if you can even find a good quality enema bulb syringe in a store these days. Buying them online can be getting one that is not the best quality.

Enema supply (forgot full page name …sorry) has good quality. Also, optimalhealthnetwork.com has a good quality 8 oz enema bulb.
A smaller 6 oz bulb was sold there. Kristina no longer carries the 6 oz one. Only the 8 oz one. It’s the black rubber one.

Cara makes fairly good quality enema bulbs. I used the Cara 6 and 8 oz syringe for a few years.

Growing up my mom and aunt had a red rubber enema bulb syringe. Had black nozzle on it. Was good quality. It had “ribs” on the bulb. Seemed most moms had the same enema bulb. I remember seeing it airing out in my friend’s homes. So knew an enema was given.

When I recently found a bulb in a store I removed it from the box. Put nozzle on it. Squeeze it in and out a few times. The nozzle is like you told. The rubber is a hard feel to it.

Another mom saw me with the bulb in the store. She agreed with me they aren’t the same quality as before. I was surprised she told me that. She is a younger mom. She told me her mom gave enemas often. And feels giving an enema is better than giving otc junk. And can be used over and over again.

She was looking for another enema bulb for her two. Told me they are 5 and 8.
Misplaced it on recent move. Due to divorce. Only used it a few times on the older one when he was 4. Wish she still had it now.

It is good to know younger moms are wanting to give natural home remedies and the enema is given more and more now. She told her neighbor mom gave enemas.

I told her of the Cara brand. And those two web pages.

Beth and all, not only is the quality of the enema bulb gone down..seems most everything else has too. Common thing is it’s made in China 😡

Like Lapnoloc told, I too like to gravitate towards where the enema equipment is. And also noticed the quality of the enema is not the same as it used to be.

When looking at the enema bulb in the store a mom asks about the enema.

Growing up the enema was given in our home, and for sure in other homes, often. The enema bulb my mom and aunt used lasted years. Giving many enemas with it. Being the oldest in family I remember one being syringed.

If you have a good quality bulb now take care of it. after each enema session clean well with warm soapy water. Rinse well. Put few demos of hydrogen peroxide into the bulb. Swish around. Then squeeze. Leave out for a few days to air out. Never store damp - the dampness ruins the bulb with mold.

Nancy told of the Cara brand. Given many enemas with Cara enema bulbs. It’s good quality. Gonna check where Cara is made.

Blessings
