Substitute for a rectal thermometer

I was curious if anyone out there has ever inserted something other than a rectal thermometer up their butt. Prior to having my own personal rectal thermometer, I tried a pencil (blunt end), a toothbrush handle and a popsicle stick. Actually, popsicle sticks became my preferred choice. Miraculously. I never got a splinter from one. Anyway. I'd love to hear your stories.

Even after I had my own rectal thermometer, I would still experiment. Swizzle sticks and cigar tubes came next, and finally butt plugs and dildos.

I took art classes growing up, drawing and oil painting. Let's just say that both ends of the artists brushes ended up being used when I reached my teens.

Not that I haven't had a variety of unusual items up my and other lady friend's butts, but I'm going to take the subject of this post a little more literally.

I have a collection of glass chemistry thermometers. Most are round and are of varying thicker thickness than the official glass rectal thermometer.

One that I have is a Kodak brand darkroom thermometer ( for testing the temps of developing solutions ) and the glass is a flattened oval shape. That feels interesting when you twirl it

I’ve used a glass swizzle stick, a room temperature thermometer, (containing red liquid), an unused enema nozzle, and a cue tip. The cue tip was very unpleasant, while the swizzle stick was almost, but not nearly as comfortable as a vintage glass rectal thermometer.

When i was little I used a pen and some plastic seal to block the hole, with some Vaseline it was perfect

No I haven't. I do however prefer a man's meaty thermometer 🌡 though.

@chelle300 If you like the rectal temperature, a well placed piece of thick, peeled ginger will most certainly “warm” your anal opening and passage! The meat thermometer albeit unnumbered no doubt raised your temperature... stay healthy…98.6F!

Only thermometer for me.

I had played with candles.

I cut the thin ones to the size of suppositories and used the household candles to insert into my bottom and vagina.

I must be the odd one here, as soon I figured out I liked that feeling, anything I could find to slip up my anus I used. From about 7 up I’ve used pencils, sharpies, markers, hairbrush, candles, etc. Soon enough I was slipping the enema nozzle to my room and pretending like I was getting one. I’ve been anal sensitive all my life.

OMG, @Baileybird me too.

Baileybird - I’ve been anal sensitive all my life.

Same here.

There have been lots of things slid into there. My earliest memory is after seeing mom do a rectal temp on my little brother I went to my room and peeled the paper off of a crayon and used that to pretend I was taking my temperature. By then mom was taking my temperature orally, and I did not have the guts to actually use the rectal thermometer until years later. also, there was the back end of a colored pencil because it had a plastic cap on it rather than an eraser. And various ink pens, hairbrush handles, and the like over the years. And of course, the black nozzle of the enema bulb was the best of all whether at the hands of mom or myself because that nozzle was followed by the warm water. It felt so good.

A round hollowed pen.

As a child I used tinker toys. Probably not the smartest move considering the roughness. At around 14 I started using glass thermometers and never looked back. Besides the standard sized thermometer I use the six inch and 12 inch one on my wife. Had our friend play doctor with her a few weeks ago. He put the 12 inch thermometer in and out. She loved it. Of course it did not go in all the way.

I have found that Christmas candy canes can get ones attention quickly. And the different sizes offer multiple options.

I tried the plastic applicator for a tampon a few times growing up. Also have liked a metal chopstick (easy to clean!).

Candy thermometers are wonderful

A penis?

A willing tongue…

The striker from a metal musical triangle. It was larger than a thermometer but I pretended it was an old fashioned thermometer.

My friends and I played with crayons. But without lube I don't think they went very far in me.

I use a pen with the ink removed

I found glass rod ‘swizzle sticks’ used for stiring drinks with. Some are about 7-8 inches long, glass rods, thick as a pencil, with a glass ball on the tip- fun to play with that ball end and watch it going in and out of a nice tight anus. Get them where alcoholic bevs are sold, sometimes Cost Plus.

Vegetables and fruits are always fun and good for you too. 😃

I tried a glass stopper from a perfume bottle. Nothing like the real deal.

What about a carott ?

A Sharpie Marker is a great substitute for a thermometer. Long, smooth and fairly good size diameter. try it …you might like it. Denise

@TakeItAgain - I have done the same, with the same. As an adolescent male (about 12), I had easy access to a similar bottle in our family bathroom. Without being too graphic, I’d frequently spend time in the bathroom exploring, and often that exploration included the use of baby oil. I liked to pour the baby oil on the bottle, and then between my cheeks as I lie on the bathroom floor. It was a bit messy but somehow that added to the experience, sorta like a punishment to have to clean up for what I was doing, when I was through. This perfume bottle was a bit tight going in and I think I may have even stretched things a little to far back then as I’ve occasionally get some pain there even today, 40 something years later.

I wish I understood why putting things inside of me has been such an interest of mine over the years. Of course it feels good but it has to be more than that. Certainly, there is something today about my mindset when opting for this activity. And what caused and reinforced my interest in doing these things to myself? Grateful for the opportunity to discuss and explore the topic with understanding and like-minded people here.
