I use proctocedyl supps which aren't really too long, but don't know how long the prep H ones are. I put mine in while sitting on the toilet and use only warm water to wet them a bit.

It's easier to put them higher that way than laying on the bed I think

don't use lubrication, maybe it's too much and they slip out.

worth a try, anyway

I insert them while standing in a sort of semi-squat over the toilet... same position in which I used to insert tampons. I've sometimes put a little anusol or similar on the tip for lube (I like Quincy's idea but my sink is a few too many steps away.)

I don't lubricate or wet them-I just lay down and use a wet wipe (I have little kids, so we always have those flushable toddler wipes in the house, but I don't have any fingertip gloves) to shove them in, lol. I also squeeze (like doing kegel exercises) to move them further up once they are inserted.

I find that if I have recently gone to the bathroom, they go in very easily, but if I haven't, they don't.

How high are they supposed to go up? I had no idea they had to go up that high. I feel like I've been doing it wrong all this time.

Wow, I take mine differently than everyone else here.

I started off trying the laying on the side thing (because that's how you do colonoscopies and rectal exams). I had a lot of trouble with that method so I decided to try some different ways. This is what works best for me:

I lay down on my stomach and RELAX (I think this is very important). I insert in with a slight upward motion (not a lot, just a little) and go about halfway between the first and second knuckle. Have a rag/wipe to clean up with of course.

Then I just lay down and relax. At some point within the next few minutes I can feel the suppository slide further up. It feels weird, almost like it's coming out, but I know it's not.

Then I goto sleep ;p

The supps are only meant to deal with the rectum. They have their purpose, and definitely the enemas are more bang for the usage, so to say.
