Hi there ... I have done many coffee enemas, but it has been a few years.
I am used to using supplies for S A Wilson's. I think I have everything but the bags. I even have tube, bucket, and even coffee.
Looking for enema bags in local drug stores (like Walgreens), all I see is already ready enemas, with salt water in them. As I remember, they are not made for refill with other things.
I know I can order bags from S A Wilson's, and perhaps other places ... but are there typically local places to buy empty enema bags that can be filled? (I live in a plenty big enough city.)

I usually find the combination enema bag sets in or close to the section where heat and ice packs are, but not always. Sometimes I have to ask.
They are cheapest at Walmart, around $5. At least double that at Walgreens.

I see, thanks. I'll give that a look.

I have used the bags and the bulbs. Both were from a local chain pharmacy. For me, the bulbs were much easier to use, clean, and store, cheaper too.
Though for a while my arms and forearms were so weak, I couldn't reach back or squeeze the bulb, so at that time I relied on using the bag.

Just got back from CVS, Walgreens, WalMart, and Target, and none had empty enema bags. All were ready-to-use, which I don't think is the kind that can be filled with the coffee water.
At one store they did suggest a particular medical supply store. They are closed weekends, but perhaps during the week I will see.

You can probably order what you need at www.drugstore.com .. It will get here before you know it!

Funny, but as I studied it more, I really did not need an enema bag. I already had a bucket, and the approach is you use one of the other to hold the liquid--you don't need both.
I was having trouble remembering. Years ago, I had started out in the very beginning using an enema bag, but then pretty early on switched to using the bucket.

You're right, Michael. The buckets are much easier to use and sturdier. The bags are only needed if you don't have a bucket, or you are traveling. However, don't try to hang the bucket with the little plastic handles; the handles will break quickly, and that is a mess!
Instead, place the bucket on the sink, or possibly the tub, so it is high enough for gravity to work. Also, the clamp on the buckets, or even the bags, are usually not that great, in that they don't allow you to open the clamp, but not all the way. You can get a good clamp from buying a combo enema or douche bag/ water bottle and using the clamp from that.
But those are not see-through, so I don't find them so good for this purpose. Plus, they don't usually open at the top.
Coffee enemas are wonderful. They work! Enough said.
Be sure to use probiotics afterwards to replace good bacteria.

Yes, the buckets are nice. I got mine from S A Wilson's, it comes with a cloth strap thing to hold it in and then hang it to something, kind of like a baby swing kind of thing.
We have a shower door which has a hanger on it for towels or just to hold on to for balance, it so nicely hangs on, perfect height. (I do this in the tub, with towel just to lay on something warmish.)
