They say to not have any bowel movements for an hour after inserting rectally. There is no difference in absorption rectally versus vaginally. Most of the residue that comes out is vegetable fat. Don't worry too much about it.

The waxy substance that is left behind is just the carrier method for the medication, it would come out in your pants when using it vaginally. Just wait an hour after inserting before opening your bowels
