Tap water enema? TMI  iVillage Member Registered: 05-14-2007 Tap
water enema? TMI Tue, 10-09-2012 - 3:40pm  I have read multiple
answers to this question and I'm hoping someone can finally
settle this for me. Is it safe to use tap water for an enema? I
have a fleet enema that's prefilled with a liquid. The reason
I'm using an enema is because I want to clean myself out before
anal sex. The tap water I have does sometimes smell slightly
chlorinated. I've read things that say it's dangerous to use tap
water, then I read something else that said it's safe if you
only use it like once or twice a month. Somewhere else said to
use filtered water and somewhere else said use bottled water or
distilled water. So can someone please tell me which is the
right answer?  Also, how soon before you have anal sex should
you do an enema?  Thank you so much!  Avatar for cmkarla
