May be TMI for some regarding suppositories (sm)

Posted by Shortie on Sat, Jun 12 2021 at 07:55 PM CDT:

I have very small, short, stubby fingers. I had a Dulcolax suppository and had extreme difficulty inserting it. Is there anything you could use for an inserter that would be safe to use? Vaginal suppositories years ago always came with an inserter, maybe still do.

- Actually, they recommend not using Vaseline or similar things Talon Thu, Jun 17 2021 at 10:51 AM CDT (0)
- Thank you. I don't think Vaseline would make a difference but the pushing might. Will try. Tue, Jun 15 2021 at 10:44 AM CDT (0)
They do make applicators for rectal suppositories. nm Talon Sun, Jun 13 2021 at 11:34 AM CDT (1)
- Thanks. I didn't know that. I'll look, just in case I ever need one again. Hope not. OP Sun, Jun 13 2021 at 06:03 PM CDT (0)
Would those vinyl gloves help? Never had to use one myself but I'd probably try with gloves. nm Sun, Jun 13 2021 at 07:38 AM CDT (1)
- Thanks, but the problem is not being able to get the suppository in far enough. OP Sun, Jun 13 2021 at 10:20 AM CDT (0)
