The big red bag that can be purchased at most pharmacies works for most people. The non-chain family-run pharmacies that specialize in home care equipment like walkers have the best selection in this area. I have had chronic constipation due to opiate pain medication usage, so I have been using this method for a few months. The only other method that helped was drinking prescription lactulose, a sugar like liquid, 30 ml three times a day, but I didn't want to do this month after month. Our resident expert here at Colontalk for this subject matter is tammylayne. I spread newspapers on the bathroom floor to collect any accidental leakages. During the procedure, if you can, kneel on the knees and keep you head lower than your buttocks, this will allow the water to flow into the upper colon. Search "daily enema" in the search box for more information.
