Subject: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Beth [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 10:00: pm 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? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

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. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Nancy A (The red one piece bulbs were the best) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, February 20, 2026, 04:16: pm 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. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Mom of 3 divorced (Yes, sign of the times = junk made) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, February 20, 2026, 05:43: pm 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 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Mandy (Quality down. But moms want to learn now!) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 05:16: pm I work part time in a drug store. Got enemas growing up and gave many enemas to my two. Also given in other homes. Many moms come in looking for the enema bulb. Some know of the quality of the syringe of years past. I suggest they buy sol pic enema bulbs. But they are expensive. If you can even find one now. They are the soft good quality one piece bulb. Come in various sizes. I love talking with the younger moms who have no experience with the enema. Try to help them. They are interested in giving the enema in their home. Many times she will have her one or two kids with her. I ask who the enema is for. Good to learn she wants it “for him (her)” Nice knowing when she gets home he is going to get an enema. Years ago when talking with a mom about the enema I would offer to come to the home to teach. Used to be nurse. But not done these days. Would arrive at the home. Talk little and show her how to prepare everything. Once was prepared brought the one getting it to the room. Most of the time was given on the kitchen table. Few times the mom would want to learn how to give to sick one in bed. So he was put in bed as if was sick. The enema was brought to the bedroom. Shades closed. Linen pulled down. Towel on the bed and he was given a bulb enema on the bed. First one I gave. The second bulb by her. Blessings [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Victoria [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, April 11, 2026, 05:32: pm Beth, surprised by your post. You are so very correct…the quality of the enema bulbs these days is a lot to be desired. I work part time in a health food store and in a local drug store. I have brought this (poor quality of the enema bulb) up . Seems “our supplier “ …on and on. Not long ago Pic Solution sold a very good quality enema bulb. One piece bulb sold in various sizes. I know a mom who has one. The quality is the best. Soft rubber. But firm. Nozzle bends easily but is firm. She it often for giving her three kids enemas. She also told me today’s quality is terrible. Unfortunately, can no longer buy Pic Solution. At least in the US. Few days ago a mom was in looking for an enema bulb syringe for her 9 yo b. We talked. As we talked I had the enema bulb out of the box. Squeezing it in and out. he had a “oh no “ look on his face when he saw it! She told the quality is no where near what she remembers her mom using when giving enemas. And she had a good quality enema bulb before. But threw it out. She only used that bulb a few times to give him enemas. It may be best to buy a good quality bag or bucket. Then putting a good quality nozzle on it. Look at those sold by optimal health network. Very good quality. Well the mom in the store purchased the bulb. Told me “he is going to get an enema when we get home.” Poor baby! I’m sure I’ll see her again. And ask her how it went.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Maude [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, May 07, 2026, 08:40: am Alan, welcome. I am a Great Grandmother with generations of enema usage for health and maintenance through out childhood. Even the teens and into adult hood. Please give us a little more information. Is he withholding or just constipated or are you just wanting enemas for health and maintenance? It is hard in most areas to go to the store and but enema equipment. In your local Walgreens they should have a douche/enema/hot water bottle in the feminine section. Get one of those. It is best to get the bottom up and belly pointing down. So bend him over your left leg and clamp him in with your right. Have maybe a quart first time of warm but not too hot plain water and flow it slowly so it takes about 4 to 5 minutes to get it all in him. Does that help at all? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Alana for Maude. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, May 07, 2026, 06:30: pm Thank you for your reply and my son is almost nine and two main reasons I want to start given him enemas. He tends to hold his bowel movements and I have been told it is through laziness. Secondly I am planning on using it as part of punishment along with spanking, diaper punishment and some other punishments. I might possibly need someone to help me do it as he is a squirmer even getting spanked. Thank you again. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Mandy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 12:57: pm Good you want to give enemas in your home. I gave spankings when needed. I do not believe an enema should ever be given as a punishment. Only a helpful health tool. If possible consult with your doctor for advice. Possibly you know a former nurse, or a mom who has experience giving enemas in the home. I taught many moms the enema. Gave her an enema to learn and then gave to the child for her to learn. Every mom I gave enemas to wanted to learn. And enjoyed learning how to prepare the room, bed/tabke, the patient, giving and post clean up and care. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Mandy (Good that enemas are still given :)) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, May 16, 2026, 12:22: pm Maude good you told of over the leg position. And having his legs “clamped “ between the givers legs. Growing up my aunt lived with us. She helped my divorced mom out. Both were divorced. She was a nurse. This was in the 50s and 60s. She did as you told…butt raised and tummy pointed downward. If not across her lap then was either on the bed or table. She would put a firm pillow on the bed or table. Cover it with a towel. The one getting the enema would be laying over the pillow on his tummy. Many times I remember my cousin being syringed with the bulb laying over the pillow. Sometimes she would just have a towel on the table. The one getting an enema would be on back. Legs raised up some. She told the one getting, and yes was me many times, the enema to take deep breaths in and out of open mouth. And relax. The bulb enema was usually two or so bulbs full. Then older she used the bag. I was the oldest, so remember her giving many enemas! Sometimes another mom would come talk with her. I loved hearing them talk about enemas. Few times she would take the mom to the bedroom. I’d see her carrying a full red rubber enema bag down the hall to the bedroom. Made me nervous knowing the woman was going to be given a full enema bag. Can find the enema bag and bulb syringe in local drug store. If not then can find on line. Optimalhealthnetwork.com is a good source. Funny talking about the enema today. Few days ago I was visiting a mom. While there she told me her 6 yo was going to be given an enema. I helped her prepare. He got it across her lap. Took it very well. Was good knowing moms still give enemas. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Sure many moms who read on here appreciate all your helpful information. Did you all ways administer the enema across the lap way? Or gave on a table sometimes? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Maude [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, May 21, 2026, 05:55: am Mom, I was raised on what was called an enema pillow. My three sisters and one brother got an enema once a week. I usually got my enema on Wednesday night before bed. But with five kids in the house most nights somebody was getting an enema. We were started on enemas for the first one ever when we started school. Before that we were given suppositories or orange juice with castor oil if we were constipated. The enema pillow was referred to as JBL. It was a much larger hot water bottle with the tip attached to the side. You placed the full water bottle flat on a chair and lower the kid down on to the nozzle and sitting on the water bottle forced the enema up into them. I was the middle child and when it was my year to start enemas I was prepared to fight. But mom had a high chair where your feet would just dangle. They made me grab both elbows with my hands and they wrapped my arms together with ace bandage. Made me step up on a step stool to the high chair and turn around and I got face slapped to get my attention and cooperation to lower down on to the bag. Your hands are bound and your feet are dangling so you have no way to raise up off your enema bag. Me and my siblings all got our enemas from the JBL through out all our school years. Once a week. Our neighbor lady had three boys and she did all enemas over the left leg until they were older. They were much younger then me and I got to help give them enemas because they would fight too when they started enemas. She used a douche bulb syringe. It had a nozzle I thought looked so huge. The nozzle I don't think was intended for rectal use. It was large and curved and she inserted it pretty far inside the little guys. It was probably a 14 or 16 oz. douche bulb and they would get two of them and it really cleaned them out. Of course being used to enemas by then I sneaked it a few times when I was over there and gave myself an enema with it. I loved the huge nozzle. Wished mom would give me enemas with one like that. I liked the privacy of being left alone while sitting on your enema pillow but craved being bent over and getting an enema from the huge douche bulb. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, May 21, 2026, 09:38: am Maude, when you gave enemas in your home, or other homes, did you always use the sit on bag? Ever give small bulb enemas on table? I’ve given mostly on table (changing or kitchen table) or across my lap way. Used the large douche bulb syringe a few times. Gave friend an enema with it a few times. She was across my lap or on the bed. I moved it way up her. Until the “shield “ was up against her. Gave her two or more bulb full to her. Think it held 10 oz. When her hubby was off to work, both our kids off to school she would come over for coffee. Always ended in her getting an enema with the douche bulb. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Did she put Vaseline up and down the nozzle…then gently placed the one getting it on slowly? I’ve never seen one. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: AV [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, May 17, 2026, 06:14: am Alana, Email me for further enema advice. I will share more. aaavee1@yahoo.com I know many times you can find a nice enema at your local pharmacy inside of your hospital. What makes a good enema is the little rubber squeeze bulb many hospitals send home with newborns to help clear mucus from a baby’s nose or mouth. It’s a bulb syringe. Your son, being nine, may be able to handle an enema bag. It will not take much to make him go. The over the leg and clamped down with the other leg is a very good method. The best time to give an enema is after a bath, he will already be naked, no fighting of getting clothes off. If he gives you trouble, settle at first giving him a suppository, and let him go. When it starts working, he may come back to the bathroom, and when he does be ready to give him that enema once that suppository opens him up. Now if he is a holder, you find him, take him to the bathroom, sit him on the toilet and afterwards clean him out with an enema. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, May 19, 2026, 02:35: am Beth, I look for enema bulbs when I go to stores. Today’s quality is bad. One of the best quality enema bulb is pic solution. Hope this link works: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pic-Solution-Soft-Cannula-Orange/dp/B00D3HZ458 In recent months the price has gone real high and seems no longer offer shipping to US.

[> [> Subject: Re: Enema Bulbs - Declining Quality Author: Sandy divorced (Omg love that enema bulb!) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 11:20: am My mom had a similar enema bulb syringe. Was one piece red. Held about 8oz. I don’t know if it was the pic solution brand or not. Most likely not. Cause this was in mid 60s. Taken by hand by her or neighbor mom to kitchen table. She would have a pan of warm soapy water on the table. Towel and Vaseline jar. The same bulb floating in the soapy water. At first hated getting an enema. Then enjoyed getting one. Of course next let her know. If it wasn’t me getting syringed on the table, it was my younger siblings or cousin. Her, other moms, babysitter didn’t care if we cut through the kitchen and one one was having it used on them.
