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

works great

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 Laxative Its 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.

Not a thing you would like to order, but when Necessary, it works as needed.

Works as designed. Follow the directions and you will have instant relief in 5-7 minutes.

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.

Used prior to surgeries and procedures several times per year. Pretty easy to use.

Good product at a reasonable price and Amazon quick shipping.

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!

OH. MY. GOSH. ohmygosh. I had been randomly backed up for days and days and after one DESPERATE search whilst straining on the loo, lead me here. The holy grail. The font of clearing impacted poo. Fleet. Intrepid, I held the pre-lubed bottle in my right hand whilst laying on my left-side on a towel on my landing floor (hoping beyond hope a child wouldn't need me to open a snack.) I breathed out slow and inserted the tip. Took a few seconds (maybe 20 I went slow) to get it in as far as it needed to go. And I squeezed. And as I squeezed I felt my insides slowly fill with cold liquid. Not at all painful, just, weird. Once the bottle was empty as I could get it (you don't need to use it all, believe me) I slowly removed whilst holding my sphincter as tightly as I could so I didn't suddenly explode and shoot round the room cartoon style, spraying brown doom in my wake. It said to remain lying on your left side for as long as you can until you feel the need to go. I lasted all of 4 minutes. With haste I got up off the floor, still squeezing my chocolate starfish as tight as it had ever been, and legged it to the loo. Nothing. Then everything. First 2 giant squirts of saline liquid made its appearance, then involuntary straining, I couldn't stop if I wanted to. I birthed what must have been a 6lb poop-baby. Still quite solid in it's form unlike its siblings about to follow. The heavens opened and I heard angels singing symphonies. The RELEASE! So much poo. SO MUCH. mainly liquid in form now but whose keeping track. I passed food I had eaten in preschool. Job done. I floated off that loo, so much lighter and alleviated of so much discomfort. I'm a normal person again. If you're constipated or impacted, try this. I will always have a stock of it in my house from now on. Worth every penny.

Perfect for my needs, bought to use in a siltz bath.

Brilliant

This is the only thing that works for me, I dont know why but i have tried everything else, bulb enema's, different brands but this is the only one that empties my bowels that dont work anymore. Its easy to use, packaged properly and the tip is pre lubricated and so its easy and comfortable to insert. The quality is on point and when it stays at around £10-15 it is affordable, when It goes higher (it fluctuates) It is not worth but at £15 U an willing and will keep reordering. This product has honestly saved my life this past few months. I would go 7+ days with constipation and trying everything under the sun to have a movement. This works, when nothing else will :) Deserves 10/5 for all the times it has saved me from pain and discomfort. Blessings to the creators of this product. You have my thanks <3

Very constipated, I expected this to clear out my system. It didn't. Well, not completely or satisfactorily. Although it produced a big, messy splurge, a lot of it was liquid. I wouldn't rate this product as being any more effective than a glycerine suppository. Glycerine (glycerol) suppositories are a lot, lot cheaper and are quicker, easier and more comfortable to apply. I found that despite the fact that this product does indeed work within five minutes or so, I did not enjoy the experience of inserting and removing the applicator or of lying down for the five minutes just waiting for the product to work. The applicator is very well lubed - so well that it settles nicely around the insertion point on one's body to provide an ongoing balm for the discomfort that insertion can cause - but it's not fun to use. I thought I'd try this product to see what a top brand's enema applicator and bottle are like, with a view to shopping for my own reusable enema bag with applicator and hose. The Fleet applicator bottle is a bit like a small disposable mineral water bottle in consistency and construction and I didn't find it particularly easy to squeeze the liquid out of it. Maybe if you had someone to help, the process would be easier. On each of two occasions I used this product, there was a not-insignificant amount of liquid left in the bottle (the product instruction leaflet states that this is normal). The liquid expels from a single point on the tip of the applicator, rather than from several lateral holes as I've seen on some reusable items available in this category. I still have two bottles to go which I'm keeping in reserve for now as it's not recommended to repeatedly use these things. Perhaps I'll form a different opinion with another go, but I doubt it. I did not like the application process and I did not like trying to squeeze all the liquid out of the bottle with my body at an odd angle on the bed. Given the price and the fussiness of use of this item, I could not recommend.
