Soap suppository?

[Ryan245]

Its a old wives tale that a small sliver of soap can be used as a suppository. Is it soap a safe remedy as a suppository? Have you ever heard of or used such a thing?

Yes

No

[Anonymous]

I wouldn't do that. There is such a thing as a soap water enema though, and I've done that for a patient before (I'm a nursing student) and it was really effective.

[Ryan245]

Why wouldn't you

[Opinion Owner]

I mean I guess if you had the correct soap it would work similarly, but I think the water (liquid) aspect of the enema would make it more effective.

[Ryan245]

I've heard that any generic soap is safe do you know if that's true

[Opinion Owner]

From what I read unscented ivory or dove would work. Just fyi though, soap is likely to cause irritation, so you might want to try other things like fiber, coffee, or prunes before you move on to something like that.

[Ryan245]

So its safe and effecive? Because I've tried coffee and some other natrul laxitives with no effect.

[Opinion Owner]

I think it'll be effective yes, but just be forewarned that the experience involved with that effectiveness will probably suck. You should maybe look into getting a Fleet enema and trying that first. They sell them at drug stores and walmart/target and I think it would work out better for you honestly.

It's a little late now lol

[Opinion Owner]

Good luck😂

[Ryan245]

You want me to keep you updated lol jk

I know from lifelong experience that it works, and is not harmful (so long as you don't overdose or use the wrong kind of soap)

[TGFH-Satan]

It's not safe to be injested in any way, shape, or form.

[NineBreaker]

Dude! I was thinking the same thing, almost verbatim!

[TGFH-Satan]

Lmao. Great minds think alike.

[karahiri]

No. not a good idea.

[SirBarristanSelby]

I'm relying on you to do the research.

Remedy for... What?

[Ryan245]

Constipation

Why not something like Colace, a laxative?
