recognizable and available enema bag is the red rubber 2-quart bag, sold in most drug stores with all the necessary accessories. You can find this and other rubber bags as well as silicone bags at specialty stores and websites. Silicone is a lot more expensive than rubber , but it’s much more resilient since it is not affected by typical wear and tear like rubber is. Silicone bags will last a long time, whereas rubber bags should be replaced every few years. Enema bags come in a variety of colors and sizes, including 2 quart, 4 quart, and 5 quart.
TUBING: Tubing that connects the enema bag to the nozzle can be made of latex rubber or silicone. It comes in a variety of colors and some different widths, although 5/16” is the most common.
CLAMPS: Made of plastic or metal, the clamp is what controls the flow of water from the bag through the tube and into your ass. An on/off clamp
offers only one speed, so you cannot control the flow of the water. A ratchet-type clamp gives you much better control of the flow, but going from on to off isn’t immediate. Some folks like to use two clamps: one near the bag that has a flow control, and one closer to the nozzle that’s on/off. That way, you can experiment with water speed, and once you decide on speed, set the ratchet, then set the on/off clamp to off. When you switch it to on, you’ve got your desired speed.

CONNECTORS: The advantage to buying an enema kit is that everything fits together. If you buy your items separately, not everything may be the same size, since widths of enema bag openings, tubing, and nozzles can vary from 1/4” to 5/16” to 3/4”. If the items you want to use are not the same size, then you need connectors. For example, in order to use a bag with a 1/4” opening and tubing that’s 5/16” together, you need a 1/4”-to-5/16” connector. Connectors are sold separately at enema equipment specialty stores and websites.
HOOKS: Enema kits come with a plastic hook or you can purchase one separately. This is a small but important piece since you’ll need to hang the enema bag.
TOWELS: It’s a good idea to put a bath mat down on the floor, and have a towel or two nearby. If you’re administering an enema to yourself or someone else in a place other than a bathroom, you may want to lay down towels or absorbent bed pads.
FLOW INDICATORS: Although not necessary for an effective enema, a flow indicator is a cool accessory for enema fans. Flow indicators attach to the enema tubing and measure the speed of the water flow.
Enema Nozzles
When you purchase an enema bag kit, it comes with a basic nozzle for the end of the tubing; it’s made of a firmer material than the tubing and has one or more holes in it through which the water flows. If you purchase your enema items separately, you’ll definitely need to get a nozzle. Since the nozzle is the part that goes inside your ass, you want the size, shape, and material to be comfortable for you. Here are some examples of different kinds (also see Illustration 5):
FLEXIBLE RUBBER NOZZLES: These slim, soft rubber nozzles are easy to insert and great for enema beginners. Because they’re skinny, though, some people complain that water can leak out more easily.
HARD RUBBER OR PLASTIC NOZZLES: These small but hard nozzles are often sold in a set of several different sizes and shapes. Their size is good for novices, although their firmness may be less comfortable than a more flexible material.
BUTT PLUG STYLE NOZZLES: Made of a variety of materials including rubber, hard plastic, aluminum, and stainless steel, these nozzles look like butt plugs and anal bead toys because basically they are—except they attach to tubing and have holes in the tips for water to flow through. If you want to add a pleasurable element to your enema, then nozzles that “double” as toys are for you.
