For Constipation "4 words about Fleet Enema! I love this stuff! I'd been constipated for 2 weeks, nothing worked at all. I was in pain, could not eat, sleep, walk, and finally wee. I had enough time to get this thing sorted out once and for all! I went to the chemist and got the enema. I was sooo scared and did not know what to expect. So I found this website, read everyone’s experience with Fleet Enema, all good and made me want to do it even more, so I got on with it. First of all, nothing, no feeling, nothing. I thought great, it’s not going to work, then bang, 1 minute in, it started. Could only hold for another minute before running to the toilet and letting it rip. Oh my, what a sigh of relief when it finished. Why did I not do this before? I did not get a chance to feel the pain from the plug coming out as what was coming out was so fast, a little bit of pain/discomfort, but nothing much compared to trying to do it alone! Thank you, my lord, and thank you, Fleet Enema."

For Constipation "I love these. My fiancée has been struggling with intense constipation. She hasn't had a bowel movement other than a few bunny poops in two weeks. We finally decided to do the enema. The top is incredibly easy to push. She said it was a tiny bit uncomfortable but didn't hurt. I squeezed about 1/4-1/2 into her rectum, at times slowly and other times quickly accidentally before she screamed to take it out and rushed to the bathroom. She's been having a successful bowel movement for ten minutes! That's how much was impacted. And it only took three minutes of this enema to get it out!"

For Constipation "I can’t go to the bathroom unless I use Fleet enemas. It’s made me codependent that my brain won’t signal to give me an urge. Either I use the enema or I will never get relief, and when I do use them, they put a lot of gas on my stomach, which makes me bloated and uncomfortable. No matter how hard I have tried to drink prune juice, apple juice, or take stool softeners, I am unable to evacuate. I can do 3 Fleet enemas before I feel better to start my day, but they leave me bloated and poop mucus. I wish I never started using them because now I can’t go to the bathroom on my own like a normal human being."

For Constipation "I was constipated for 5 days. I also have hemorrhoids. I couldn't go at all. I think I waited too long, by the time I tried using Colace, I went to CVS and for around 4 dollars, I got Fleet. Let me just say I felt very uncomfortable. It felt really weird. I was scared to use it. Even a minute later, I had to go. I didn't even use the whole bottle as directed. My advice: just take your time, it's well worth it."

For Constipation "I am currently on a high-protein diet and went three days without having a bowel movement. On the fourth day, I tried to use the bathroom but still could not ease my constipation. Over the next two days, I experienced discomfort and tried to relieve it by eating berries, taking Senokot, and drinking 3 liters of water. On the sixth day, I attempted to use the bathroom again but was still scared. I then ordered Microlax, which arrived the next day. I was nervous about using the enema but eventually mustered the courage to do so. After walking around for 5 minutes, I was finally able to pass everything, and I felt much better. However, just to be cautious, I hovered around the toilet for another 30 minutes after having another massive bowel movement just two minutes later. Overall, I would rate this experience 5 stars."

For Constipation "I was nervous about taking an enema after I tried another laxative and had excruciating cramps. I was desperate, though, so I did it. Didn't hurt one bit and easy to do. I thought it would feel weird filling up with fluid, but other than the temperature, it felt like nothing. I felt the urge after like 2 minutes and immediately released all the fluid and no BM. Thought it wasn't working. Then 5 minutes later, it worked SO WELL over and over. Never felt better. Effects lasted 30 minutes, and for comfort, I sat on the toilet seat with a heating pad on my stomach the whole time. Super minor discomfort in the abdomen right before a BM release for like 10 seconds, but no severe cramping at all. All my bloating, constant strained tiny BMs, gas, and chest back pain gone! Try it if you need it!!"
