The Prelude offers a new internal cleansing method by allowing the rectum to be rinsed with one or more small volumes of liquid. Unlike conventional enemas that discharge too quickly and fill the ampulla with air, the Prelude uses a special slow-flow, one-way valve. This valve slows the flow of liquid and prevents air from entering the ampulla, while also preventing backflow of liquid when the nozzle is in the rectum.
Why is a smaller volume rinse preferable? Because a large volume rinse can lead to fluid accumulation in the colon, causing cramps and a longer cleansing process. Why a slow flow? Because introducing the liquid slowly allows for better control of the process, avoiding pressure and cramps caused by a rapid surge of liquid into the rectum.
For most people, the goal of an enema is to cleanse the rectum, not the entire lower digestive tract. The Prelude makes this easier, faster, and more comfortable. Ideal for preparation before anal play, the Aneros Prelude enema kit features a special slow-flow, one-way nozzle for simple and comfortable preparation.
