I’ve used CleanStream’s red enema bulb line as far back as 2014. I’ve had seven in that time, so I can say the durability is about nine to twelve months on average. Some break sooner than others. To manage your expectations, keep in mind that friction and wear are hard physical constraints of our universe, so don’t expect these to last as long as a vintage car or something. I try to keep a backup one in addition to my daily use one, because when it eventually fails, it can take a few days for a new one to arrive.Use silicone-based personal lubricant that is safe for humans with this product, not water-based. Put some on both the spout and your anus to make sure you’re not tearing any of your external or internal tissues. It’s not skin tissue, it can get torn and you really don’t want an infection.Keep an eye out for early warning signs that it’s time to replace yours: the parts that fail are the white PVC spout (which is mostly likely to break near the base), the washer connecting the spout to the cap that fits into the bulb (this gets compressed and stretches over time if you’re washing it properly, see below for instructions on that), the bulb itself (this is where it gets difficult to spot leaks–they appear as small cracks, most often longitudinally adjacent to where it gets squeezed the most, near the cap, and less often on the bottom of the bulb. However, those cracks aren’t always visible immediately, so you’ll first notice those cracks in the form of water from inside the bulb leaking out under pressure).My main criticism of the product is that it’s not easy to clean, and doesn’t come with any cleaning supplies; then again, I don’t know what they ought to include with it that wouldn’t also be subject to criticism. A second criticism is that if one part of the product fails, you can’t just order the parts separately. The bulb and washer fail the most, but I’ve still saved leftover spouts and washers from previous bulbs in the event that those parts fail first instead.To clean the bulb, be sure to wipe any human waste off of the spout with toilet paper first. Remove the cap and pour the remaining water inside of it into the toilet. If you have a bidet, you can clean the bulb off with water and soap over the toilet. If not, you can clean it off in either your shower or your bathroom sink–at this point, the bulb and spout are mostly clean anyway, but since the red version doesn’t have a one-way check valve on it (and since you touched it while on the toilet), you’ll want to clean both the bulb and the spout off. However, be sure to clean your sink regularly with bleach and drain cleaner. Last thing you want is fecal coliforms getting started anywhere in your house. To clean the bulb and spout, keep a separate bottle of dish soap in your bathroom specifically for cleaning it; pour the soap into the bulb and down the spout. Hand-wash the entire surface area of the inside and outside of the bulb, the outside of the spout and cap, and for the inside of the spout, flush it with tap water. Slightly unscrew the cap and spout (don’t lose the washer or spout down your drain!) and hand-wash that too–don’t leave any area untouched by soap and water. Rinse off all the parts, fill the bulb with water and empty it to make sure it’s not soapy next time you go to use it. Store it in an open container where it can air-dry.

This enema bulb has a larger capacity that it would seem. I would guess it holds between 6 and 8 ounces of water. The white tip doesn’t really “screw” in – it’s more like a plug or stopper type device with a little black “o” ring to serve as a gasket to ensure an adequate seal. I suspect that in the absence of the little black gasket this product would probably leak a little.The white tip is about 2 1/2″ – 3″ long, though quite obviously the entire thing would not have to be inserted into the rectum. It (the tip) is about the diameter of a pencil… so it isn’t something that is likely to be met with significant resistance.Because this is a bulb, expect that you will have difficult expelling all of the fluid. While it is not difficult to squeeze (it is a rubbery material), it would be difficult to squeeze adequately from below your body in the uncomfortable position in which one typically finds himself or herself when using such a product.

This enema bulb works fine as long as you do the following: 1. Remove plug from bulb. 2. Use super glue on the rim and replace plug. Let dry for 24 hours. Also, use super glue on stem gasket and let set for 24 hours. 3. When ready to use, fill bulb with water and screw in stem. It may take longer to fill bulb this way, but you will not have any leaks. The bulb will last about a year before the rubber get hard and difficult to use. I have been using it for a number of years without any problem. This the best one I have found on the market.

I’ve purchased this item twice and it’s the best bang for the buck in comparison to the other enemas i’ve tried. Only downfall is the second one I purchased at first didn’t hold the correct seal around the nozzle. I tried unscrewing it and putting the nozzle in multiple ways but it still leaked when in use. Not a giant issue but still made a mess with all the excess water. This problem eventually solved itself as the product was used more and the edges of the nozzle wore down allowing for a better seal.

An effective tool for what it was advertised to do. It is easy to use and clean after use. The only negative is that the description is that the top is a screw top. While technically true, only the small tube unscrews from the friction top. The friction top has to be pushed in and out of the bulb like a cork. Unsure of how durable this arrangement will be, but for the price if it lasts for at least six months to a year than it’s a fair bargain.

I’ve used the red bulbs for a couple of years now. (It seems the blue bulbs are different the way the ‘threading’ at the top where the nozzle goes, resulting in leaks). Have always been happy, despite the orings breaking after about 4-6 months. I just buy a new one then.This new bulb however leaked at the seam of the mold in the bulb itself. I requested a replacement, and the auto response was that they would send one out. nice customer service for that. Will continue buying the red.

I tried it a few times and it doesn’t really work that great. I mean normally I would say user error, but it is a pretty straight forward operation haha. It works, but I feel there might be some that work a lot better and more efficiently. Not sure about the people complaining about the hard plastic tip, that didn’t bother me at all

The plastic rings that prevent leakage seem like bad design, but the bulb hole is large enough to stick soapy fingers in for cleaning.
