This is an occasional use only toy for us, but it gets the job done when we need it. There are several parts to this enema syringe that could use explaining.

First there is the bulb itself, which is made of a black rubber. It feels very durable and has the typical rubber smell. If you are a rubberist, you will love it. For others - well, it has "that" smell but considering this equipment is for cleaning out your nether regions, who really cares if it has a rubber smell, right?

Next is a hard plastic nozzle that fits snugly into the bulb. This nozzle is fairly narrow and quite frankly is not particularly smooth or rounded on the end. Anal novices will probably think this nozzle is the one to use because of its small size, but we would caution against this as this narrow nozzle would be quite easy to scratch your anus with if you don't take it real slow with lots of lube and get good and relaxed. Too much "pucker" and you could end up with a scratch. No fun there, so be careful if you are new to anal play and are nervous about using this toy.

There is also a 6" ribbed nozzle attachment that fits over the small nozzle. It attaches only by way of friction (does not screw on or lock in) and we found that to prevent leakage between the small nozzle and this attachment, you have to twist this attachment on with a bit of force. Not a big deal, but it does make getting it back off a little bit of a pain. We've found that if you apply a tiny bit of water based lube to the small nozzle before putting the attachment on, it helps it seal and also eases removal for cleaning and storage.

The ribbed attachment has a thin rubber shield at the bottom that prevents any leakage from your anus from getting back into the joint between the attachment and the small nozzle. It also serves as a smooth base to stop against if you insert the attachment all the way into your rectum. It is not removable and is no problem to clean. I'm mentioning it because it wasn't readily apparent to us what it was for until we used the syringe the first time.

At the end of the attachment is a rounded removable tip. This tip completely covers the end of the attachment, but is designed to allow water to escape at the seam between the cover and attachment. It is very smooth with no sharp edges. It screws on and off without much effort, but stays on securely until you are ready to remove it for cleaning. We've never had any concern that it would come off during use. You have to deliberately twist it to get it off.

Okay, now for the practical aspects - using it. This review isn't an enema/douche tutorial, so don't assume I've included all the steps of getting cleaned out. Feel free to ask questions about enemas, though, as we do know a bit about it. We use the turkey baster process for filling the bulb with warm tap water.

Next we apply lots of water based lube to the ribbed attachment and to the recipient's anus and then gently press it in. Once in, you slowly and firmly squeeze the bulb until it is nearly empty and then with the bulb still squeezed, you pull the toy out. With bulb syringes like this one, you will inevitably inject a little air with the water. Don't worry, a little air is no big deal.

After use, clean up is mostly easy. We completely disassemble it, cleaning each part in hot water with anti-bacterial soap. Toy safe cleaners are also an option, but I wouldn't recommend boiling or bleach/water solutions. The plastic on the toy may not hold up to high temperatures and I'm not sure the black rubber bulb would tolerate bleach very well. Also, I feel like we also need to mention toy sharing here. By writ of strict safe sex procedures, you should never share this toy with anyone else. It might be possible to completely sanitize the plastic parts, but the black rubber bulb would be nearly impossible to completely sanitize. You can't see or get to the interior of the bulb and you can't really dry it out, either. Bacteria or other nasties could set up shop in there and you wouldn't know it.

Mrs. J finds the ribbed attachment comfortable, but she's no anal novice. Mr. J is a bit of a novice but still finds it comfortable and easy to use. We use this syringe as a couple and getting a quick enema is quite easy when your partner is giving it to you. Using it solo is not quite as easy, especially if you have small or weak hands. The bulb is not small and the rubber is thick - it does require a good squeeze to empty it.

There are lots of possibilities for this toy that we haven't explored. For us, it is simply an enema syringe for getting clean before anal play. We typically only use it when we don't feel clean, or on the rare occasion when one of us is constipated. Other possibilities that you or your partner might consider is using this toy (particularly with the ribbed attachment) as an anal dildo combined with the enema, or using the act of getting an enema as an erotic session either vanilla or as part of a bdsm scene.

This product still works well after many uses. There is no sign of wear on any of the parts, it basically looks like it is still new.
