A enema is also known as a colon irrigation. Basically you are forcing water into your rectum, which will help loosen up fecal matter (poo).

The process works with gravity, you have the bucket/container elevated above your body and the liquid flows at a easy and slow rate into your anus via a tube which is inserted into your anus, if you use a bucket you will need to make sure the tube is held in place in the bucket, and you will need to get the gravitational flow moving, which can be started by sucking on the other end of the tube, the tube's end which will be going into your anus needs to be lower than the tube in the bucket.

After a few minutes the solution will help to loosen up the poo that's been left in your colon and soon after or during the enema depending on how much solution you are using, you will feel the need to go to the toilet. You will pass quite a lot of stool and other nasty's which will smell rather unpleasant.

Some people have enema's to help with constipation, some do it to keep a healthy digestive system and others do it to have clean and safe anal sex.
I think you mean "enema", which is a procedure in which liquid is pumped into the anus, either for colon cleansing, or for erotic purposes.

A rectal injection for clearing out the bowel, or administering drugs or food. Also can be used for pleasure. Some good enema sites are:

An enema is the insertion of a solution into the rectum and lower intestine.

Cleansing enemas act by stimulation of bowel activity through irritation of the lower bowel, and by distention with the volume of fluid instilled. When the enema is administered, the individual is usually lying on the left side, which places the sigmoid colon (lower portion of bowel) below the rectum and facilitates infusion of fluid. The length of time it takes to administer an enema depends on the amount of fluid to be infused. The amount of fluid administered will vary depending on the age and size of the person receiving the enema, however general guidelines would be: * Infant: 250 cc or less * Toddler and preschooler: 500 cc or less * School-aged child: 500-1, 000 cc * Adult: 750-1, 000 cc Some may differentiate between high and low enemas. A high enema, given to cleanse as much of the large bowel as possible, is usually administered at higher pressure and with larger volume (1, 000 cc), and the individual changes position several times in order for the fluid to flow up into the bowel. A low enema, intended to cleanse only the lower bowel, is administered at lower pressure, using about 500 cc of fluid. Oil retention enemas serve to lubricate the rectum and lower bowel, and soften the stool. For adults, about 150-200 cc of oil is instilled, while in small children, 75-150 cc of oil is considered adequate. Salad oil or liquid petrolatum are commonly used at a temperature of 91°F (32.8°C). There are also commercially prepared oil retention enemas. The oil is usually retained for one to three hours before it is expelled. The rectal tube used for infusion of the solution, usually made of rubber or plastic, has two or more openings at the end through which the solution can flow into the bowel. The distance to which the tube must be inserted is dependent upon the age and size of the patient. For adult, insertion is usually 3-4 in (7.5-10 cm); for children, approximately 2-3 in (5-7.5 cm); and for infants, only 1-1.5 in (2.5-3.75 cm). The rectal tube is lubricated before insertion with a water soluble lubricant to ease insertion and decrease irritation to the rectal tissues. The higher the container of solution is placed, the greater the force in which the fluid flows into the patient. Routinely, the container should be no higher than 12 in (30 cm) above the level of the bed; for a high cleansing enema, the container may be 12-18 in (30-45 cm) above the bed level, because the fluid is to be instilled higher into the bowel.
