The douche jokes write themselves...

NSFW product recommendation.
I've finally come to accept that douching is probably now part of the SOP for anal sex. But I've never done it before, and it has been years since I've had anal sex, so I have no idea which product to buy. Is this something I can buy at CVS?

Tristan Taormino (she has a website, check it out if you like) recommends the cheap Fleet bulb douche things at the drug store, only take the solution out of it and just replace with gently warm water. Use it two or three times if you like, to make sure you feel ready. And that's it.

i follow the twitters of some porn stars, straight, lesbian, gay, mainstream, and indie and they all seem to use the drugstore fleet enema and do what ifjuly suggests, dump the solution, fill with warm water.
i've known some anal sex enthusiasts in person who preferred the classic red bottle but those seem to have leaking problems.

Let me reiterate. Dump the solution. Dump the solution. Dump the solution. Do not actually take a Fleet enema — it's a pretty strong laxative, which is not at all what you want. You just want the miniature enema bottle that the laxative stuff comes in. Once you have dumped the solution and refilled it with plain clean warm water, it will work just fine.

Yeah, FWIW, I agree with rope-rider on the "as needed" point.

Agreed with all the above comments. The drug store Fleet Enema with just warm water. Please please dump the solution.

You could go for the (EMPTIED!!) Fleet bottles, or you can get something reusable, in which case you're looking for what's called a rectal syringe. It's basically a rubber bulb with a small nozzle that attaches, which you fill with water (or Seven-Up, or magical unicorn tears, or whatever floats your boat) at home. I literally walked into a CVS and grabbed one off the shelf before my first adventure with anal sex, so yes, you can definitely get it there. It should be near the Fleet enemas, etc, in the laxative section. Cost about $10, I think.
