Proper hygiene is essential before, during and after any fisting activity. Make sure the giver has cut or filed their fingernails down smooth. Long nails don’t mix well with the anal or vaginal canals. Latex gloves are a great way to provide protection during this form of stimulation.
For Anal Fisting:
The receiver should use an enema done 30-60 minutes before the session to clean out all fecal matter. Use a water based enema, in fact, water alone should do the trick. Allow at least 15 minutes for all of the water to completely drain.
For Vaginal Fisting:
Though a thorough cleansing of the vaginal area is a good idea prior to fisting, it’s not mandatory. Proper lubrication will be essential, so a little foreplay won’t hurt. Vaginal fisting is not advisable during menstruation.
Trauma:
The anal canal is a very sensitive area, especially the deeper you go. Sharp objects, friction and certain materials may cause cuts, pain and or allergic reaction to the entire region. Believe us when we tell you that this is not pleasant. Be very careful about staying within your limits.
If you’re into fisting as part of a little sado-masochistic action, make sure not to inflict actual pain in this area. There’s nothing wrong with having a fist up there, but you need to be careful.
Infection:
The anal area is rife with bacteria and other microorganisms that can cause terrible damage when introduced to other parts of the body. HIV/AIDS is a major one. That alone should get you serious. Latex exam or surgical gloves are mandatory! Lubricants should never be shared or reused. Never allow open sores or cuts near this area. Any surfaces involved (hands, toys, sheets, etc.) should be thoroughly cleansed before AND after each session.
Cleansing:
When cleaning this area, you should always begin with warm water only. Don’t add anything until you’ve become comfortable with the warm water. Adding other substances, including herbs, soaps and oils can cause cramps and nausea. Expect to spend up to 2 hours for the entire process.
You’re best off experimenting with techniques to get the water in and out of yourself, but for the most part, the more relaxed you are, the easier it will be. Many people enjoy the sensations of a good anal cleansing.
It’s possible that you’ll get an attack of gas during your cleansing. This is perfectly normal and should be looked upon as part of the healing process. You’ll want to refill after passing gas, as the bubbles will displace open areas which can be washed out with water.
Cleaning Up After Fisting:
Depending on the nature of your session, you’ll probably want to allow an hour or so for the various fluids and lubricants to drain out of you. You can speed this process with a douche or enema, but take care not to overscrub the area, as this can cause scrafing, which leads to infection.
Proper Diet Prior to Fisting:
Again, diet plays a more important role in anal fisting than it does in vaginal fisting. With a proper diet, you can clear out the anal canal prior to fisting. Starting 2 or 3 days prior to your fisting session, begin eating more high fiber foods than normal. Stay away from dairy products and fatty meats. Also avoid foods high in simple carbohydrates (sugars, potatoes, french fries, chocolate). Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water (up to 2 liters/day). |
