Best Laxatives of 2025

"I use this powder daily, and it works wonders. No taste and mixes seamlessly into my morning coffee. I can confidently say my bowel health has improved over the years."

"This product acts like magic! I have no idea it’s there when I mix it with my coffee. Smooth movements without any urgency or discomfort."

"I switched to this generic option and I’m impressed. It’s just as effective as Miralax, but I get more doses for my money. Overall, it’s a high-value choice that I’m really happy with."

"I found Dulcolax tablets to be great and they worked very well for me. They were delivered on time, and I appreciate the comfort they provided. I will definitely continue to use Dulcolax, as it made me feel much better."

"I bought Dulcolax for my sister, and she found them to be extremely effective and reliable. She experienced gentle relief without harsh side effects, and the tablets were small and easy to swallow. They provided relief overnight, which helped her get back to her routine quickly."

"As I age, I've become more high maintenance, so I was relieved to find this laxative. It's gentle and effective; I take it before bed and wake up to find everything is moving again. I highly recommend it!"

"I hope this works as well for me as it did for others. I’ve tried numerous name-brand products recently with little success, but this worked within hours. There was no cramping, just a normal sensation. I’ve used natural fibers, but this is the easiest and best option I've found. The cap worked fine, and it poured easily. It’s childproof, so you have to press down hard and turn. There’s a slight taste with water, but using a flavored drink is best. I’m very pleased; finally, something that works naturally!"

"I regularly purchase this product for my daughter to ensure she takes it as prescribed. It’s tasteless and dissolves easily in water, making it simple to administer. Importantly, it’s even compatible with a G-tube, which makes it useful for those with feeding tubes. It’s gentle on the stomach, avoiding discomfort. Its effectiveness in managing symptoms, along with these user-friendly qualities, makes it a reliable choice for our family."

"When doctors prescribe various medications, I always keep this on hand. It’s very effective and mixes easily in water without any taste. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but I make sure to buy it when it’s on sale to make it more affordable. You never know when you might need it!"

"I found it pain-free and effective. It works fast and was a very good buy, especially since it wasn't expensive."

"When other mild methods didn't work, I turned to this OTC medication. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Just remember to drink plenty of water to prevent any bad cramping as it kicks in. It's a great addition to my multi-method approach, especially before a colonoscopy—this really opens the stuck garage door."

"I took two of the small pills, and they worked within three hours. I would recommend starting with just one to see how it affects you."

"I remember my parents using Ex-Lax when I was young. As a senior citizen now, I've faced similar issues with medications causing constipation. After trying China Slim Tea for over 15 years, I found Ex-Lax to be much more effective without the headaches and cramping. I take one pill before bed every other night and enjoy thorough bowel movements by morning. It's been a long time since I found such a reliable over-the-counter helper."

"These pills are incredible! I always make sure to follow the directions and take them at night while I sleep. Drinking water helps loosen things up, and by morning, everything is flushed out. If cramps occur, using a heating pad on my tummy does help. My only issue was a delay in delivery, but that wasn’t the seller's fault, so I won't let that affect my rating."

"I found that these pills really do work! I took one, and about 10 hours later, I had to run to the bathroom multiple times. I caution anyone on how much to take because the reaction can vary. Definitely something to be aware of!"

"I appreciate that this can be added to my morning coffee without any weird taste. It works like magic for me, keeping everything moving smoothly throughout the day."

"After switching to this generic option, I find it just as effective as Miralax, but more economical. The only downside is the bottle design; pouring can be a bit challenging."

"This powder is a lifesaver! It’s gentle yet effective, and I’ve been using it daily without any issues. I simply mix it into my coffee, and it works perfectly."

"I found this product to be excellent. After trying other laxatives that didn't work, I highly recommend Dolcolax. The only issue was some cramping before I got relief, but it worked overnight and I feel great!"

"For my procedure, I only needed two pills, so I was glad to find this small pack. It does exactly what it claims, and I didn't have to worry about unused pills!"

"My gastroenterologist suggested this for my colonoscopy prep, but it didn't work for me as expected. After taking more, the procedure was canceled due to lack of movement at the time. Eventually, I started having loose bowels, which lasted for a week, so just be cautious if your body reacts differently."

“This product works exactly as intended; I experienced greater wellness and comfort after using it.”

“I find these stool softeners to be gentle and effective. They are my favorite choice, and I appreciate how easy they are to swallow.”

“After needing a stool softener due to medication, this one provided quick relief within 24 hours with no side effects. It’s a great value, and I would rate it 4 stars.”

“I had a colonoscopy last week, and the Miralax worked like a charm! After an uneventful first 45 minutes, I found myself rushing to the restroom frequently, but I was clean and not uncomfortable. I was worried about needing to go on the way to my procedure, but thankfully, there was nothing left in my system. The doctor said the prep was effective, and I credit Miralax for that!”

“I’ve always kept Miralax on hand because it’s been a lifesaver for my family. It works well and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any taste. Following the directions ensures proper use, and it’s easy to take.”

“This product deserves to be called a MIRACLE LAX! I suffered from terrible constipation and after trying several products that only made it worse, I found Miralax. I take a capful every other evening, and everything comes out smoothly without any discomfort. I urge anyone struggling with constipation to try this!”

"I think they taste great (for medicine). They remind me of a mild berry-flavored starburst. I did have to figure out the right dosage, and I did overdo it once, but now it works better than anything else I've tried."

"I've been taking one every day and it's been working pretty well for regularity. It took a couple of days to figure out the right approach, but now I'm feeling it a whole day later. It's fun to eat, but I might not take these again."

"These have been absolutely brilliant for me! I started taking them after my diet change messed with my stomach. It took a bit longer than expected, but I feel so much better now. I recommend them 1000%!"
