Thanks, but I’ll just stick with Mexican jumping beans.
Is the capsule disposable, or does it have to be retrieved every time?
That’s an interesting point. My yucky alarms are going off…
unfortunately the only place i’ve seen those sold is toys r us, so i guess we’ll all be constipated forever now
I’d try Miralax or the like first.
Have you considered antimony?
I do not understand the appeal of this sex toy.
So it’s an everlasting gob unstopper?
This is intended for people with IBSC or a similar condition, not for people with run-of-the-mill throughput issues.
Chronic constipation is a thing, and as I understand it, can make life really unpleasant. If it works, a non-pharmacologic intervention would be very welcome to those afflicted.
It’s hard to tell from the company’s website if this is a going concern. They completed a safety study in 2014, but posted no results to clinicaltrials.gov. They appear to be recruiting for a second trial now if anyone out there wants to try it out.

This write-up would make me think twice though:
“Overall, there did not appear to be any significant difference between active … and sham … over the 8-week period of the study,” Quigley said.
“Disposable” as in, “able to enter the water supply system?” No thanks!
How good is their security? This could be a memorable entry in the annals of IoS.
I try to avoid taking anything, but opiods combined with a cheese binge means some help is prudent…
I, uh, will stick to the less fuss generic Mirilax. Thanks for the suggestion, though. I will just file that away for later…
News Flash! Toiletville was struck by an unprecedented hurricane of disgusting proportion. Following the foul wind an earthquake struck and the resultant tsunami finished off any hope for survivors. Even more bizarre a satellite imagine revealed an orange blog appearing to eject rolls of paper towels. Thoughts and Prayers

I’m sure Ann is OK, but I prefer Mary:
“Pooh, or pooh not. There is no try.”
There is no Pooh?!!
