Anal air inflation with an aquarium pump/hose.
I'm wondering how deep I can push the hose inside.
A few inches does the job, of course, but what I'd really like to know is if deeper makes a difference. Can I inflate faster? Does it feel better? Less cramps?
How deep is too deep? I know those cameras they use for colonoscopies go pretty damn far, so there must be a safe limit there.
Has anyone tried pushing the hose really deep? What dangers should I be aware of?
Any advice is welcome.
This is a good question actually. The straight answer: No, you should not. Technically you might be able to, but you have a very high chance of perforation (bascially making a hole or a weak spot in the colon).
Now, what I have looked a bit into is something called a colon tube, which is specifically used for enema's and I am told it helps with less cramps because the colon tube ends up delivering the enema mixture into your large intestines, rather than your rectum. It's also a lot softer and more flexible, so if it pokes against a wall, there's less chance of perforation and/or damage. I am told there is also less cramping as the water doesnt have to build up in the rectum and then flow to the intestines, rather, the intestines takes the majority of the flow and the rectum stays much more undisturbed.
However, I have only heard of them being used for water enema methods, so I dont know about air right now. I will try to look into it as see what I can find out, but for the most part, just keep the aqaurium pump at like, an inch max. You really dont need all of the extra inches in there, it risks bumping into the walls.
