Enemas?

No. Never. I haven't felt the need or urge to do so.
If you do them, why do you do them? Does grabbing your phone stop your urge to do an enema?

Because that's completely unneeded, plus you run the risk of becoming dependent on them if you continually use them because your colon will lose its ability to pass stool on its own through muscle movement. The only weight you lose with an enema is temporary at best.
^^This.
Also, OP, you aren't any "cleaner" after having done an enema than you are if you never do one. There is absolutely no reason to do one unless advised by your doctor.
Or unless you're about to shoot some very, um, interesting home videos...10 -
Unless you have endemic and ongoing bowel issues, enemas are at best useless, and potentially harmful. Don't you think that the human body, after many thousands of years of evolution, has worked out how to take a crap?15

Yeah sometimes I wouldn't have a bm, for nearly 3 weeks; yet wasn't constipated but my weight'd increase. Then I remembered always having 1, approximately an hour after taking a bath; as a child. So a bath, is a soapy enema & currently I have bms, about every other day.1 -

I just use regular bubble bath & soak for a 1/2 hour everyday.0 -

Do you... introduce the soapy water into your lower intestine? Coz... then you don't bubble bath like I do. Sphincters are pretty water tight... I know warm water can make you poop, but unless there is... insertion... its not an enema.3 -

I've never taken a bath, without bubble bath but always in the warmest water; that's tolerable. I've gone swimming in warm water & didn't have to have bms, so it seems that it was the soap.0 -

Yeah, my point is that unless you're actually putting the warm soapy water inside your sphincter it's not an enema. It just makes you poop.1 -

I meant that it acts as 1 because of involuntary insertion; upon submergence.1 -

Your sphincter defaults to closed.
If water/soap could just trickle in all willy-nilly just from getting into water, we'd be in some trouble.
Also swimming pools would become much grosser.
More likely the baths helped you to relax, making it easier for you to poop.18 -

That'd definitely explain the water/temperature but not that, it only occurs; when the water's soapy.0 -

Thank goodness colonoscopies only happen every 5 years (for most people), but even then are mostly taken care of from the front end, so to speak,
and an enema provides GREAT incentive to avoid constipation! Drink more fluid, eat more fiber, move more.2 -
Yeah unless you have some issues with your sphincter, you're not getting water up there involuntarily. If you are... well as my original post says? You bubble bath very differently to me.
And you might want to see someone about that.2 -

I had terrible candida from strong antibiotics, so I did peppermint and lavender essential oil enemas, coffee enemas, msm and olive oil enemas, and probiotic enemas. It really improved my health at the time. Now that I take vitamin C in high doses for prevention of infections I haven't needed an antibiotic in years. I also haven't done an enema in years.
It's unlikely that you are going to lose much flora from enemas if you use filtered water and perforating your colon is almost if not impossible if you use the right equipment (very small colon tube).
I would say not to do enemas unless you have done your research and you have some issue like candida overgrowth from strong antibiotics.1 -
I find it shocking that people use enemas for woo woo purposes11
