Rectal thermometers and suppositories

Where could I find a wider rt? My partner and I want to know. Who else enjoys rectal thermometers and suppositories? When my partner inserts a suppository, they keep their finger in for quite awhile. That feels soooo good.

I love it and use it frequently, rectal thermometer and suppository. I hated suppository, today it is the main form of medication I use.

Get a large animal veterinary one, they are thicker and longer.

Great comment, truely spoken !! - thanks for that !!

If you don't actually care about an accurate reading, get a deep-frying / candy-making thermometer.

Why not use a Geratherm and insert part of the thicker part?

Never had a suppository.

Also learned recently from Zity friends that the finger is supposed to stay inside for a while? OMG 😳

@GraceT My mother would just push the suppository in enough that it would be "swallowed". The finger did not even enter, let alone stay inside.

Whoever gave me a suppository inserted their finger all the way in and held it in at least a little bit to keep it from coming out

Ask a nurse experienced in giving medicated suppositories, and she/he will likely tell you that the supp is to be inserted and held for a few seconds against the “wall” of the rectum. The warmth hastens melting of the medication so it begins to be absorbed faster. You’ll feel the nurse’s finger or an insertion device inside you. Learned from a nurse who cared for me at home post-op when I was nauseated and couldn’t keep anything down. The medication was Phenergan. It was embarrassing at first, but she was an amazing nurse who also taught my husband to give the medication rectally if I needed it.

@Vicki_V My mother inserted the suppository like this, the finger went deep and she pressed the suppository on the wall of the rectum. The finger stayed in about 30 seconds.

@Jacana I always complained about the deep insertion, the finger was disposable. One day my mother inserted the suppository as you described and as soon as I lifted the suppository came out. My mother had to insert it again, this time deeply.

I've posted this in other threads BUT if you choose to use the candy thermometer, be EXTREMELY careful. Insert slowly with LOTS of lube. The glass on these devices is considerably thinner than that on regular fever thermometers. Breakage in the hiney could be a disaster. Play safe and have fun!!!

Read my stories- daddy always keeps the finger in there during suppository insertion to help hasten the melting process- mommy too. This is the way.

@Anne20 You use rectal pain meds like acetaminophen and ibuprofen? Can you buy them without a prescription? Do you insert them gloved or ungloved?

I was given a suppository by a nurse during an extended hospital stay. She definitely inserted her finger, but did not keep it in. The whole insertion process was less than 2 seconds, at most. All done without any lube too I might add. It was definitely a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" moment. One of my most embarrassing moments ever. However, I still remember it fondly today.

@buttdial I use paracetamol and ibuprofen suppositories, they are great! I insert without gloves.

@Anne20, I haven’t had a nurse keep her finger “in there” for that long, but I would guess 3 seconds or so. I was given anti-nausea suppositories in the hospital years ago. The nurses would wake me up in the middle of the night to give me the medication, and their gloved fingers would be in and out of my bottom pretty quickly

@Vicki_V I think my mom did it because I would push the suppository out.

Instead of a real thermometer and if you like to feel the object inserted, you can use a toothbrush
