My 3 year old has been having big hard poops for the past couple months. After him screaming and crying in the bathroom trying to push it out I decided to give this a try. He didn't like it being put in his butt, but by the time I came back to him after throwing it away, he was already ready to go!!! Would recommend this to anyone!

Our 3yo has been battling with constipation over the last 2.5 weeks, we think due to him going through a phase of withholding BM's. The first week we were able to get him to go with prune puree and lots of berries. But this week has been a new challenge. As the week has gone on he's had stomach and genital pain that our pediatrician has attributed to being very constpated. We've tried Prune puree, berries, high fiber foods, fiber and probiotic supplements, and finally I ran out and grabbed this. Gave it to him at 6:25pm yesterday evening. Really easy application. We just had him lie on his back and put his legs to his chest. In about 5 minutes he was complaining "owie, it hurts" and was distressed, so we thought it was working. But nothing. It is now 8:50am the next day and it didn't work. Was super hopeful :(

So look. I noticed my 18 month old hadn’t pooped in a day or so. He would pass gas, but nothing more. After watching him strain while out to dinner, we stopped at target and picked these up. They come pre lubricated and they are individual so you can save some for the future. Anyways- we get home, he’d pooped a little but I figure after two days there had to be more. Did the suppository and I KID YOU NOT within 3 min, my child cleared out 2 days worth of poop. It wasn’t explosive but my gosh after that he was back to crawling around like a wild man. Of course I feel like a terrible mom for letting it get so bad BUT the amount of relief he felt is unmatched. I’m so glad there’s more in the package. Also if you’re squirmy like my husband - do not worry. It’s not near as bad as you think!

Really helped our kiddo with constipation and holding his poo! It didn’t work as well after 3 uses and not exactly the most pleasant experience for them however, so I can’t use this often as a relief for him.

My 2year old toddler hadn’t had a bowel in 4 days and was trying really hard to push everyday, but nothing would come out. I couldn’t see her struggle and strain any longer. During those 4 days we tried miralax but that didn’t work. Sent my husband to go buy this product after looking online for different relief forms and not even 10 minutes after giving it to her, INSTANT RELIEF!! Would definitely recommend this product if your little is struggling!

A necessity for anyone with kids! My 3 year old was constipated for a few days, Miralax didn’t help but this worked within an hour. It finally got her back on track with her movements. Would recommend this a million times over!
