the colon. Cold water will cause cramping.

allow air to escape tubing before inserting enema nozzle or rectal tube into the anus. You can lubricate the
nozzle w/ (Surgilube,
KYjelly,
Vaseline,
Super
Salve ) or any suitable lubricant this makes insertion of the nozzle easier and more
comfortable.

begin to cramp stop or slow water for a little bit, when the feeling subsides begin
flow again. Massaging the abdomen during these times will make a more comfortable
experience. Try to take the entire bag, stopping and starting the water flow as needed.

or move to the toilet and release your enema.

Massage abdomen in a counter-clockwise direction this will help move the solution higher
into the colon.
Massaging the abdomen during the administration of an enema will help the recipient accept
more of the enema solution.
When expelling the enema:
Massage abdomen in a clockwise direction this will help move the solution back toward the
rectum and anus.
Massaging the abdomen while expelling the enema helps move the solution and feces toward
the rectum and out the anus.
Hold the enema for a few minutes to allow the enema to work.
(5 minutes is usually sufficient for a decent result.)
After you have finished releasing your enema remember to clean your enema equipment with
soap and water and hang enema bag and tubing up so they can air dry. Use a disinfectant
soap to wash your enema equipment.
