"I was prescribed the Fleet Enema by an ED doctor as I had no bowel movement for 2 weeks, was vomiting after eating, and had a very distended stomach. I used the enema and waited 5 minutes, then had a bowel movement followed by a massive pain in my stomach, however, it was like a snaky type of bowel movement, not diarrhea or like water. I still feel compacted at the top of my stomach. How do I know if it worked?"

"One thing's for sure, is that this product does what it's supposed to. I've been constipated for almost 2 weeks due to medication. Yesterday I had an EXTREMELY painful bowel movement that had me literally crying and left me with a super painful hemorrhoid. Today I decided I couldn't go through that again, so I tried Fleet for the first time. Getting the nozzle in was weird but so much easier once I relaxed and bore down. I was able to use 2/3 of the solution and waited maybe 1 minute before I felt the extreme urge to go. My experience was painful, not necessarily a strain but more like a burning sensation. I feel so much relief after going. I was so scared to try, but it's worth it."

"I rarely leave reviews but feel compelled to after finally getting relief from constipation. I’ve been constipated since a medical procedure I had about a week ago. I tried Colace, Smooth Move tea, and a full dose of Miralax today. I had cramping and a small, hard BM but was still very bloated, uncomfortable, and constipated. I decided to give the Fleet Enema a try before contacting my doctor. It worked within about a minute. I had an explosive BM, followed by some smaller, soft BMs over the next 30 minutes. I’m feeling a lot better and am so glad I tried this."

"I was impacted horribly bad. It was in misery. I tried stool softeners, ex-lax, and water. I hadn't had a BM in five days. I felt the need to push and I pushed until I couldn't push no more. I had a rock hanging from my bottom but wouldn't come all the way out. I was in total discomfort and misery. Every time I sat down I would scream in agony. I read about the Fleet Enema online and went to the pharmacy and purchased two. It was hard to administer since my stool was so close to the rectum but I managed to make it work. After administering the Enema, I immediately felt the urge to push. In a very painful push, I released the impaction."

"This has got to be the hands-down best invention in the world. I was clogged up for two days and trying everything in the book to get it out of me. I tried oral laxatives, I tried more water and more fruit juice, even drank more coffee than I normally would, but alas, nothing helped. My friend recommended this product, and I purchased it, laid a towel down on the floor, and prayed before insertion and barely made it a minute before the strong urge of relief hit me. I felt like a baby came out of my rear end as though I was releasing a Thanksgiving dinner from four years ago through my bowels. I feel ten years younger and ten pounds lighter. Ten out of ten recommend to anyone who is backed up. Advice beforehand though, do this right next to the toilet, otherwise, I do not think you will make it!"

"Had to take oxycodone for 3 days and figured it would back me up. I felt like I had to go, but nothing came out. Tried the Fleet Enema and waited 3 minutes before I had the urge to go, and a piece as hard as concrete came out, and then the floodgates opened. My butt is a little sore, and past uses have prepared me for a day of some cramping, but this stuff sure works."

"I ended up 4 days ago in A&E as I was in ridiculous pain from a bowel obstruction. 4 days of 8 bags of macrogol didn’t touch it. I could not pass gas and was in terrible pain. I was eventually given a Cleen (Fleet enema). It only partially worked, although I couldn’t leave the bathroom for 5 hours. When eventually released from the hospital, I was told to keep on 1 bag of macrogol a day until it all regulated. I must say, 4 days later, I am still in a great deal of pain, still cannot pass hard stool (if any), and still feel extremely sore and feverish. I think this may work for mild impactions, not for severe ones."

"I have a history of positive HLA-B27, ankylosing spondylitis, Marfan syndrome, and IBS. I regularly have OIC and have used enemas multiple times in the past but generally try to use other means first. This time, I shouldn't have waited. After days of taking multiple laxatives and continuing to not go, I finally broke down and used the enema. Inserted, administered half the bottle, assumed the position, and waited 5 minutes like normal. Felt the urge to go, so I sat down and immediately expelled the water, pooped a few small turds, and that was it. It's now been 7 hours, and I continue to cramp, get dizzy, sweat profusely, have heart palpitations, and then I go a tiny bit. This has by far been the worst enema experience of my life. Word of advice, when in doubt, douche it out."

"I have a physician-confirmed allergy to petroleum/petrolatum (inhalation-reactive to fumes; contact-reactive, e.g., a tiny dollop of Vaseline touching my skin; and ingestion-reactive, e.g., cannot consume produce w/petroleum-based wax coating). If I come into contact with petroleum/petrolatum, I suffer acute respiratory distress for 3 days, which is how long it takes for the petroleum to exit my system. This is exactly what happened after I used a Fleet enema, and the company confirmed that the tip is coated with Vaseline (a TOXIC CHEMICAL). So I was inserting a dangerous, toxic chemical into my body where it remained for 3 days, causing acute respiratory distress. Since the application of this toxic chemical to the tip of the product renders the product not sterile, why don't they leave the tip untreated?"
