Rubber gloves hands on approach - wow talk about self help wink
suppositories are tricky in that they simply will not work if you don't resist the urge to expel them for at least 20 minutes to about a half an hour. It is harder than you think to wait that long but it takes that long for the gylcerin to dissolve and do its job. Cutting it short ensures failure. The nurse warned me to use a timer or else I would be seeing her and her rubber gloves.
There is no disagreement that manual evacuation will work, but I think the majority of OCF posters have avoided that drastic last resort.
