We waste so much money on different ones boots own brand are cheaper and really good when needed.

For what it's worth, over time I've found dulcolax suppositories to be more reliable and less likely to cause local irritation/haemorrhoids if used often. (Surprisingly, because they can make you feel like you're shitting chillis).

I found dulcolax at the start very good but they gave you terrible cramps.

Boots own brand are Glycerin and Dulcolax are Bisacodyl.

Glycerin seems more gentle, less sting!

They're definitely good and really gentle on you compared to ducolax
