Fleet Glycerin Suppositories for Constipation Relief, Fast and Effective Stimulant-Free Laxative with Aloe Vera, 50 Count Jar, Pack of 3

I’ve dealt with chronic constipation for years due to childbirth changes and medication. If you’re in the same situation, I hope what has helped me might give you ideas to ➡️ discuss with your doctor. Please talk to a provider before trying anything new! What I keep on hand: ⭐ Ultra-size tampon (for *temporary* internal support) ⭐ Fleet suppositories ⭐ Petroleum jelly ⭐ Medical exam gloves ⭐ Optional: a foot-stool for positioning (like a Squatty Potty) Here’s my routine: 1️⃣ I put on exam gloves. 2️⃣ When the urge to go first starts, I insert a tampon as intended. For me, this gives gentle support to the back vaginal wall—similar to “vaginal splinting”—and it helps my body signal the need to pass stool sooner. 3️⃣ I use a Fleet suppository according to the package directions. I usually feel the urge within minutes. 4️⃣ I apply petroleum jelly generously around the rectal area, and I place a small amount just inside the opening with a gloved finger. 5️⃣ I stay nearby and let the suppository work. Gentle movement usually helps me. When the urge increases, I sit with my feet elevated (a Squatty Potty works for this) and I go. I always remove the tampon afterward. This routine has helped prevent the stool from becoming too large right before I try to pass it, which used to be the most painful part for me. The petroleum jelly also helps everything move more comfortably. I love that the Fleet suppositories are basically just glycerin. They come right back out when you have your bowel movement. They provide a little lubrication on their own. They aren’t painful to insert, though the first time is a little uncomfortable if you’ve never used suppositories before. Otherwise—no burning or anything. They give a strong, natural-seeming urge to go. Why I use a tampon and why it helps so much: The back vaginal wall sits right against the rectum. After childbirth, that wall can weaken and create a small space between the two areas (a rectocele). During a bowel movement, the pressure of bearing down can push stool into that space, causing it to gather and become larger right before exiting. Using a tampon right before I go gives temporary support to that wall, so stool isn’t pushed into that pocket while I’m having a bowel movement. This keeps my stool at a more manageable size and reduces pain. There are medical devices made specifically for internal support, but tampons have worked well for me because I already keep them on hand. I only do this because I’m familiar with using tampons safely, and 👋 I always remember to remove it at the end. I truly hope this helps someone else the way it helped me. I have to use all of the above steps together. The Fleet suppositories are definitely a key part.

These Fleet glycerin suppositories work quickly and provide gentle, effective relief when needed. Easy to use, dependable, and helpful without being too harsh. I also like that they contain aloe for added comfort. Definitely good to keep on hand for occasional constipation relief.

Having tried every type of constipation product over 50 years, the Fleet glycerin suppositories were a perfect solution. Inexpensive, quick-acting and didn't upset my tummy or cause cramping.

These are a good product and work quickly to get things moving. I always keep some around.

Baby, the fleet's in withe FLEET. No more dry-docking these ships. Smooth sailing!

I was terribly constipated for 5 days. It was horribly painful trying to go because it was massive, very dry and impacted. I didn't want to use a normal saline solution enema as I had already done minor damage from straining. These had great reviews for no-pain, no cramping, and effectiveness. It took an entire hour for it to work, but boy did it work!! Once it "activated" it was under 2 minutes and the problem is now flushed! I am so happy I found this! Another thing that I loved is how it had a cooling effect a minute after inserting, it was such a relief after so much pain. It is not messy whatsoever, especially compared to an enema. The price is phenomenal, and now I have 49 more just in case. I can't recommend these enough for dry, hard constipation. They're magic.
