Reply to "Anyone use warm enemas to flush pouch?"

Can anyone advise how long you would usually "hold" the water in your pouch prior to attempting to empty? I recall in my UC days, I was advised to try and hold in whatever medicine / suppository for as long as possible for medical effect. Would this be similar?

I've been experiencing what seems to be some very incomplete emptying over the past 6-8+ weeks and am looking for some remedy while I wait for my appt. I marvel at how easy you all discuss the enema process, as it takes me forever to get it loaded and dispensed (if even at all) - and @Pouch2021 even does it at work!! Any tips/tricks? I'd love for it to be a 5 minute process that helps!
