Thermometer style

@Jacana yeah but not much of choice in AU, online maybe, but haven't seen any glass thermometer in physical chemist store in ages

For play, I have a whole collection ranging from classic mercury, to candy-making thermometer for extreme kink. Includes a bunch of digital kiddie thermometers with cartoon character heads on the tops, and a Spongebob. I've got Geratherms in all my actual first-aid kits. I shared a hotel room with a gal once, and got up before she was awake. I laid out the whole collection, then woke her up by feeling her forehead. I said she felt feverish, and we should check. Asked which thermometer she wanted. She replied, "ALL of them". We wound up spending an hour or so, taking her temperature with each thermometer.

Cold glass one is better for me, but may be depend on it, who and how manner wit it.

Just looking at an old mercury thermometer gets me excited. There is something about it that feels so real, heavy, and precise.

Of course, when it is in the hands of a nurse or a doctor, my heart simply skips a beat. A digital thermometer feels indifferent to me soulless plastic that does nothing for me.

It is probably the combination of childhood memories from the clinic along with the sublime, uncompromising feeling of the cold glass. It simply turns every "exam" into a much more powerful and thrilling experience.

For taking a temperature in the mouth, I prefer a digital thermometer with a flexible tip. But I much prefer to use a glass thermometer and take the temperature rectally.

For me and my play exams I like the very thick glass candy thermometers. I put KY lubricant in front of them coating 3/4 of it saying we will use the big girl thermometer and it will slide in very easily. The looks in return are priceless.

Glass. Nice. Cold. Glass.

Classic old fashioned glass mercury thermometers are the only way to go. Digital ones can be a turn-on too but they don’t feel as good and they can’t go in very deeply. Mercury-free geratherms don’t feel as cold, and they don’t stay inserted long enough.

The feeling of that cold lubed glass sliding in and staying put is blissful. The best models are a tiny bit thicker and longer, adding to the pleasure. Shame they’re so hard to find anymore.

Classic glass is the best.

My parents have always used the glass one and I use this one too.

Definitely a glass rectal thermometer, and if it comes out soiled, then an enema series following. Most often a hairbrush spanking for fussing during either procedure.

No question about it, glass, mercury thermometer in the rectum.

Well just my opinion as I enjoy photography. Having photographed a number of young women ( Agreed to let me do it) having their rectal temperatures taken, I have shot images of glass mercury, digital and electronic probe thermometers being used.

For me it is the glass mercury that I think makes the best images. But that’s me. I’m “ old school” I guess. Someone says temperature taking my mind gives me an image of a glass mercury thermometer.

Want to see the reading? A digital and especially a FILAC or IVAC unit with its LCD gives the image maker a great view of the inserted probe and the actual reading.
