      Enemas use gravity for pressure alone which is maybe a couple of psi max. Household tap pressure can be 50 psi or more. Not the same thing at all!

        I’ve been using a showerhead enema wand for a long time. Water escapes out your anus long before causing problems internally.

        Showerhead enema wands are very common and safe. I’ve been using one for a long time. Water escapes out your anus long before causing problems. Also, you seem to be under the impression that it’s full vlast or nothing. All of these come with their own valves, and use adjust the pressure before inserting it for your own comfort.

        “You can’t justify it not being dangerous from your personal anecdote when you use it on low pressure!”

        I was once extremely constipated, and laxatives weren’t helping. I took a 3 hour shower and more or less pressure washed the damn blockage out of me. Even on high pressure, enema wands are not a safety concern.

          I’ve heard of children deads because they shoved the shower hose up their anus and turned the water on, ruptured the bowel wall.

            Well I can’t say it’s something I tried as a child, but seriously, either water is going to leak around the nozzle or the nozzle is going to push itself put of you. Even my ass couldn’t keep it in when I tried and my claim to fame is winning a tug of war with a guy over a buttplug. Maybe if your wand head was a large bulbous plug, in the sweet spot for the individual of being large enough to impede exot but not large enough your muscles are already stretched and half trying to push it out, it’s unlubed, and it’s been a while since you put it in so you’re not warmed up anymore, but now we’re playing “mythbusters replicate the reults”.

            I obviously can’t dissprove what you’ve heard because it’s so vague, but if it did happen, I’m willing to bet what you’ve heard was just the kernel of truth wrapped in an urban legend.
