Catheter vs. Enema

For those of you that have used catheters for your j-pouches, would you say that the catheter is any more effective than using an enema?

When I have trouble emptying my pouch, I use a tap water enema. I am wondering if it would be worth it for me to invest in a catheter as well. thanks.

I had to use a catheter almost every time for 20 plus years, just to be able to more completely empty out. Enemas did help me, but in the end, I had to use the catheter trying to get out as much as possible, and decrease the number a trips to the bathroom.
