Fleet Laxative Saline Extra Enema for Adult Constipation, 7.8 fl oz, 3 Pack

If you're unfortunate and need to use these, they work much better than the large bag.

I had a pleasant bowel movement. Maybe because of the large amount, I felt stomach discomfort for about half a day.

Good price. Works as intended

You know you're adulting when you're writing reviews on enemas.One of the medications I take has a side effect of constipation. Oh, constipation. We are not strangers. Pregnancy, overdosing on fiber, iron supplements post surgery - We're old friends.But this med was a new brand of constipation. No amount of water, fiber, laxatives and prunes was helping. I felt like I exhausted all my options and I ordered these.The bottle is damn huge. It has enough sodium content in there to kill a horse. I used perhaps 1/4th to 1/2 of the bottle. It was a horrible experience attempting the suggested 'positions'. Like being a noob in a yoga class. Also, get some lube or vaseline. It alleges to come already lubricated. If by that they mean a droplet, then I suppose it is.It says...To hold it for a couple of minutes until you absolutely can't. So here I am, lying on the cold bathroom floor with my rear end up in the air, squeezing my buttcheeks together like I was doing a Denise Austin hot buns workout tape circa 1987. I couldn't stand it anymore and made the 12 inch beeline to the toilet. All the saline came flooding out. And farts. Farts galore. I put my legs up on the wall, pissed off. I did NOT just give myself an enema only to get salty farts. Hell no.Tears, a bucket of sweat and 2 cigarettes later, a little pellet graced the porcelain bowl. It wasn't much, but it was something.The following two days I had a lot of gas, but I was finally able to move stuff down the line over the course of the next several days. So it did the job. Oh right, and don't get all shy about insertion. If you have any irritation on your anus, it WILL BURN if it leaks out during the injecting.4/5. Would do it again if I had to, but I hope I never do.

Laxatives

It does what it's intended to do.

I use medication for overactive bladder that makes me constipated. I prefer to relieve my constipation with an enema, rather than laxative pills. One to two times a week, I need to use an enema. I've used Fleet enemas for years, but sometimes I needed to use two to get full relief. I was happy to find that Fleet now makes a bigger volume enema. These are very hard to find in stores, most just stock the regular size. This enema is well lubicated, so it is easy to insert. The nozzle is soft and flexible, so it is comfortable when it is inside you. I would prefer if the nozzle was a bit longer and wider but the nozzle does work well. The bottle is easy to squeeze to get all the liquid into your bottom. It may be hard to squeeze if you have smaller hands. Relief comes quickly, about 3-5 minutes after it is inserted. I get full relief and feel clean after I use it. For those with hemorrhoids like me, I recommend the use of Preparation-H ointment applied intra-rectally 10 minutes prior to use to prevent burning from the enema solution, followed by a Preparation-H suppository after you have fully expelled the enema and your BM. I recommend this enema to anyone who prefers an enema for constipation relief.Update: These are now available in a 6 pack on Prime if you need to use it regularly. I wish that Amazon would add this product to Subscribe and Save!

Lord have mercy!! Thank GOD for these saline filled bottles of joy. So I'm knocked up--about 20 weeks along thus far. For those of you that don't know...Prenatal pills= Constipation CENTRAL.I tried the stool softeners, the prune juice...didn't work. Enough was enough. I had been going on my 9th day of not pooping (super sexy). My tummy hurt, I was pissy and I had reached the point where I was more than willing to shove something up my butt just so I could feel normal.Enter (literally): the Fleet LaxativeIts a little bottle of pure joy with about a 3 inch long insertion tip, maybe a pen's width across. Up she went. The directions say to try to hold the saline in until "you get the strong urge to evacuate your bowels." Then, it said approximate wait time was 1 minute to 5 minutes. I looked at my phone and timed it.3 MINUTES. This puppy worked in literally three minutes. No stabbing stomach pain, just went to the bathroom and FINALLY found some damn relief. It was beautiful.There was no crazy after effects at all, The whole process was done and I was feeling normal in less than a half hour. I even went on to work a 6 hour shift directly afterward-- feeling just fine.If I could be the Fleet Laxative mascot, I would. I would do it for free. People need to know these things exist and THEY WORK.
