Nozzle Types for Anal Douches

An anal douche is a gadget used to introduce a stream of water into the anus. This can happen for hygiene or medical reasons. For most people, the preparation for anal play always has an element of hygiene. For some individuals, a simple visit to the shower involving a bath with a mild soap is enough to cleanse the anal area. With the anus being a very sensitive area, you need to be careful the kind of soap you choose to avoid irritation in the anal passage. There are several options in the sex toy market which are free of chemicals or the organic type.

This tool comes in many different forms. We have the bulb douche, the shower douche, and the water bag douche.

The bulb douche is the commonest type and the easiest to use. It’s made up of two parts – a bulb, which is made of silicone or rubber and is squeezable, and a nozzle. The bulb holds the water and the nozzle is used to direct the water into the anal passage.

The shower douche comes as a kit that can be connected to an existing bathtub tap or shower. The kit can be permanently attached to the shower or on a need basis. The advantage of a shower douche is that it gives you a consistent flow rate of water for a thorough and deeper clean. This type can quite effective and safe if it has a regulating tap that will help you to adjust the pressure and avoid pressure that is too high. Very high pressure may cause a lot of pain and cause some serious damage to your privates.

The water bag douche is a sort of combination of the bulb and shower douches. The bag is filled with water and is then hung on a high on a hook. It is then attached to a long tube which has a nozzle. The setup will mostly have an adapter for adjusting the flow of water.

From the description above we can see that a typical anal douche has two main components – the nozzle and the bulb. The bulb is basically used to hold and pump the water into your anal canal. The nozzle, on the other hand, enters your anus to direct the pumped water. Due to its direct contact with the anus, the nozzle’s size and shape are critical in determining your experience. The nozzle type can actually affect whether the cleaning process will be easy, painful or pleasurable.

Spray Type

When you choose the straight nozzle it shoots the water in a straight line. The wide-spray nozzles also known as Spray nozzles shoot the water in different directions. The spray based nozzles are usually of better quality and are able to cover a larger area during the process for a speedier and more methodical cleaning. 

Length and Width

The length and width of the nozzle you choose will mainly depend on personal choice. However, the short and thin nozzle is recommended for someone who is new to anal sex or has limited experience. If on the other hand, you are more experienced you might be able to cope with the longer and larger nozzles quite comfortably.

Materials

Using your nozzle can be made effortless or strenuous by the nature of the material used to make it. The material needs to be gentle on you and strong enough to shoot the water and clean you thoroughly. Some plastics in the market are soft enough for comfort while others may be a little harder. Flexibility may be a bit limited when you are using nozzles made of hard plastic or metal. It may be tricky inserting them if you don’t get the angle right. It is important to be careful when using the harder material to avoid hurting yourself.

Shower Nozzles

The shower nozzles are made in such a way that they can be directly attached to your shower. This kind of nozzle does not require the bulb because the water flows directly from the shower tap into the nozzle. This type of douche allows you to use it while you are showering and this helps you to clean up thoroughly while avoiding the mess of fecal matter getting all over the place.

Since the shower nozzle is directly attached to the shower tap it comes with its own risks. You need to be extra careful when using the shower nozzle. First, you need to have an adapter to help adjust the flow of water. This is critical to avoid a situation where high pressure from the house pipes can possibly rupture your rectum sending you to the hospital. The second factor is water temperature. You must adjust this to a moderate level to prevent burning your delicate anal canal or getting shocked from the very cold water.

Inflatable Nozzles

The inflatable nozzle, though uncommon, is a perfect solution if you normally find it difficult to hold in your nozzle while douching. As the name suggests it is inflatable and its design allows you to insert it, then pump it up to inflate it and then hold it in.

Pleasure Nozzles

Some nozzles have nice designs that bring a sensuous dimension to the cleaning experience. The design may include beads, grooves or patterns that bring a massaging effect to the anus and a dose of sensation while you clean.  

It is clear that the process of choosing a douche nozzle is a delicate one considering the area to be cleaned. The options available are numerous you need to choose the one that suits you in terms of dimensions and for your own safety. If done properly and in moderation, douching is a great way to maintain hygiene and enjoy anal sex.
