"This works!! I never take the time to write reviews, but this gave me so much relief. I have had impacted stool/constipation twice in the past two weeks. The first time I used a suppository, and it didn't work at all; in fact, it made the pain worse. I finally decided to try this enema the second time around. It didn't hurt to put it in, but it did hurt pretty badly when the stool was coming out. 10-15 minutes later, two huge mounds of impacted stool popped right out. I was so relieved. Use this if you have impacted stool/constipation. Note: I did have to get in the bathtub after administering the enema and pooped in the bath, kind of gross, but it did the trick. Cleaned myself and bathtub thoroughly after."

"So about an hour and a half ago, a nurse gave me this enema. I had had a bowel movement about 10 minutes before, but this is what the doctor wanted, so I wasn’t going to protest. It was inserted, which was definitely not a pleasant experience, but that was what I expected anyways. Immediately afterwards, I was already waddling over to the toilet as if it were a race against time, and gravity. At that point, the experience in there wasn’t very pleasant (again, what I expected). More of the enema than stool came out at first, so I had to do all the pushing myself, which was still quite difficult. This was uncomfortable, and I was already quite nauseous. It could be unrelated, but I had been gagging up salty saliva, which was unusual for me. The bowel movements were all very uncomfortable and extremely painful, which worsened the nausea. My stomach burns and is still having sharp cramping pain all over, even my back and chest. I expected a much more relieving experience."

"So I have Crohn's disease and I get constipated A LOT. Most times after pushing for 20-30 mins, it finally comes out! This time I knew something was different (I'm also pregnant). I looked up info, and after sitting in a warm/hot bath, I found enemas online. I went out and got the extra one, and after using it, it took about 10 mins because I was super backed up! But the relief was soooo worth it! Not sure if it's for everyone, but I got super hot and nauseous right after taking it! But it works!"

"I'm a big eater, and I can't empty out as fast as I load up. Sometimes I'm on the road waiting for the next rest stop. And when I get there, usually nothing happens. This is why I love the Fleet Extras, you can carry a couple in your pocket, and they are ready to help you when your only chance is that one stop along the interstate for the next two hours."
