Dear Kristina,
I am a staunch believer in the benefits of enemas, and have been taking them for years on a regular basis, usually weekly, occasionally more frequently, as opportunity and necessity presents. (I feel I should add here that I am rarely constipated and don't use enemas for that purpose; I resort to the therapy for general colon cleansing — as an internal bath — and for their tremendous relaxant and de-stressing power; I find nothing more relaxing.) I use the
2-quart amber enema bag, which I purchased from OHN earlier, which is simply beautiful (more so since I substituted matching
amber tubing). I can normally take the full enema bag without difficulty, but lately I had been experiencing discomfort and even pain, compelling me to stop, release, and start over again — a nuisance to say the least. Rarely have I had such difficulty before!
On my physician's recommendation, I had a colonoscopy, which revealed "Grade 1" hemorrhoids, but otherwise my colon was normal. (My doctor is aware of and does not object to enemas.) I thought the nozzle I was using might be the source of the problem and, when reviewing your product offerings, I considered the
Delrin nozzles, which are larger than "normal" sizes, but I was intrigued by the product description, which stated, among other claims, that they were "easy to insert, ... stay in the body and assist most people to not leak" and, most important for my purposes, "are particularly useful for people with ...
hemorrhoids." (Emphasis added.) It was rather pricey, but well worth it if it would solve my problem!
And did it ever! With its black "patent leather" sheen and four concentric rings on the shoulder, is strikingly attractive, but, to tell the truth, I found the size of the Delrin a bit intimidating at first (it seems much larger than its photo on the website), but, by dabbing just a little
KY on the bulbous tip, it slid easily and comfortably into place, and, exactly as advertised, stayed in place, did not leak, and delivered a relaxing and gentle enema. I took it very slowly (as you recommend) and easily managed the whole bag, without discomfort, cramping, or reflux, and I believe I could have taken more! It was wonderful. I love the
Delrin! It is a welcome addition to my few nozzles. It certainly will have its "work" cut out for it, and I am happy that I can look forward to enjoying enemas again, and I recommend it without qualification to any of your clientele who may suffer from a similar problem!
Your website and the products you offer are wonderful, and know that you have brought great joy and comfort to many. Keep up the good work!
