How to use Fleet Saline Enema?

• Remove the orange protective shield from the enema ComforTip before inserting
• With steady pressure, gently insert the enema tip into the rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with the tip pointing toward the navel
• Insertion may be easier if the person receiving the enema bears down as if having a bowel movement; this helps relax the muscles around the anus
• Do not force the enema tip into the rectum, as this can cause injury 
• Squeeze the bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed
• Remove Comfortip from the rectum and maintain position until the urge to evacuate is strong  (usually 1 to 5 minutes)
• Do not retain the enema solution for more than 10 minutes

Positions for using this Enema

• Left-side position: lie on the left side with your knee bent and arms resting comfortably
