5 If this is your first time, put a towel or
similar underneath you in case of any
failed retention.
6 To administer the enema, lie on your left
side with the left leg straight and the right
leg bent forward for balance. Carefully
insert the applicator tip fully into the
rectum. Maintain sufficient hand pressure
while dispersing the bottle content.
The bottle content should be applied
within max. 30-40 seconds.
If it feels uncomfortable, simply pause
and try again.
