Thermometer style

These days I prefer the digital thermometers with the large display which is easier for my old eyes to read.

Cold glass Geratherm, nothing else.

I like all styles of thermometers, glass and digital ones.

The classic glass thermometer with the pear-shaped bulb that was slightly larger than the remainder of the thermometer.

Is it the type of thermometer or the person inserting it? Or both ❤️

An index finger inserted rectally is adequately accurate and works best when given several minutes at different depths to get the reading.

Frequent practice will help to get the most accuracy.

We have an digital from CVS for oral temps and a glass “instanta rectal“ by Taylor from when I was little that my Mom handed down when Rob and I were married in 1984. The thermometer could tell a few tales of its own through the years and is still incredibly accurate. Thanks, Mom!

We don’t have a medical thermometer in our house. I’m pretty sure I would be aware of having a fever and would see a doc if necessary. I’ve used our Weber instant meat thermometer just for a reference. It registered 98 F flat. Orally of course, it has a sharp tip on it!

Always glass never digital. Prefer glass.

Definitely I prefer glass rectal thermometers such as Geratherm and also classic prismatic rectal thermometers.

I agree. Once in a while I use a digital one, but the glass thermometers feel much nicer. The classic prismatic thermoters were also very nice. I have same very delightful memories once feeling them inside of my rectum.. Unfortunately, I do not posses one right now.

Glass is best

Definitely digital - far safer and more accurate

I have had both types used on me and with adequate amounts of lube they can both be quite pleasant. My preference is for the old glass thermometers with the pear-shaped bulbs and a big glob of Vaseline - but that is probably because of all the good memories they evoke. The digital thermometers that were used had a paper sheath but they were also coated in copious amounts of K-Y jelly so insertion was equally pleasant.

Glass feels better and takes longer, I love laying there with it poking out of me
