Glass thermometers

Are there any members who still use glass thermometers to check themselves when they truly feel under the weather?

That's about ALL that I use. I have a B-D digital that I will use if I'm in a hurry, but otherwise, glass glass glass! ...just a little K-Y on the tip and insert a good half way in for a minimum of 5 minutes.

Of course. I still like my glass thermometer most!

especially the cool feeling when insterted and then it warms up.... lol!

My girlfriend and me use our old glass thermometers and loves them, but when there is any risk of breaking them ( strange position for RT or taking it when making love) we use less exciting small plastic electronic devices.

I used to stick a large glass thermometer down my dick when a kid. It was from my father's lab. It was strong, big, and I was careful, but I always wondered, what would happen if it broke. It never came close to that, it really felt good sliding down my dick and then I jerked off with it removed just to be sure I didn't snap it in all of my excitement, and was I excited, really excited.

Another favorite was to stick it up my very tight asshole and take my temperature, that was hot, the Vaseline, feeling it penetrate my tight asshole (tight way back then, lol). ... but my enemas surpassed that, squatting on the toilet with a nozzle up my ass, and my mother's hook was very high on the wall, almost to the ceiling. I took a really big one back then, about 4 qts. in high school. Often I clogged the toilet with all of crap and toilet paper, fun times!!! Had to work fast when home alone before someone came back home unexpectedly!

Although glass rectal thermometers are hard to find (i get mine at the farm supply store), they are the only way to go. Brings back good memories from childhood.

The big ones at the farm stores now are plastic. I have a few old glass ones, but they are not as long.

Ideally I would like a glass thermometer that is about 2X thicker than the normal drugstore model and a few inches longer, with a big mercury filled bulb on the end. Perhaps some fetish company will contract a factor in China to crank out a run sometime..

I've bought 3 of the classic glass thermometers on ebay in years past: Asepto, BD, Red Flash. They all give great service. Recently I purchased 3 vet thermometers on line. I got 3 because they were about $3.75 each. Glass, yellow with black letters, and a ring (cast also in glass) at the tip. The business end is of course a stubby bulb. 5 inches long and a bit larger in diameter than standard. They work great and I love them! Came with a black plastic case with screw off top. SharpTemp is the brand. A good buy!

As I've said elsewhere, I have a number of old glass rectal thermometers. They are the only ones I use. I bought them on E bay a few years ago.

Is a veterinary thermometer thicker than a standard thermometer? I ask because there's a farm store not far from here that has vet thermometers for $5. Might be a good investment.

I still use them I think it's the only to go

I would like one

I use a glass thermometer of Geratherm.

I only use glass rectal thermometers when possible too. I have 3 . One is a nice thick candy thermometer . The other two are thinner .

I use a geratherm and 2 or 3 other glass, oldier. And.... an hypothermic thermometer (Geratherm) . You can see this thermometer on my "avatar"

I use a geratherm rectal thermometer.

I use a glass thermometer from Geratherm to check the temperature.

A glass candy thermometer was carefully used on me once during a play session. totally not accurate, but it provided a nice sensation.

I have a candy thermometer exactly for that use. And for taking vaginal temp (I thoroughly clean and disinfect it first).

I do, because I believe they're the most accurate and reliable thermometers to use. I'm referring to the older glass mercury rectal thermometers, and not GERATHERM

Mercury thermometers are harder to find nowadays.

I still use a Mercury Glass thermometer . For cheap thermometer options they are still

quite common in India.

The glass rectal thermometer are my favorites. I own 5 glass thermometers now:

I have these ones plus 2 more mercury glass thermometers, and I want to buy one one large thermometer, like this one: https://geratherm.com/diagnostik/clinic-care/temperaturmessung/pretemp/

I also own 2 digital thermometers.

I can not tell you how much of a turn off it is when I see a play exam that uses a candy thermometer. They are out of range for measuring human temperatures and to me just look stupid. Now a nice old mercury filled glass thermometer, that will get my heart pumping.

Yes. We have a glass thermometer that does not contain mercury (I believe it contains some gallium alloy). We use it when there is no hurry, otherwise we use an electronic one; in any case, rectally.

It's often said using a glass, mercury thermometer like those nowadays extremely hard to come by due to concerns over mercury hazards, and/or would possibly have to go to a site like Ebay, and bid on one is the most accurate thermometer, preferably used rectally; and combined, the glass mercury rectal thermometer and the rectal method of determining body temperatures is considered "The Gold Standard". I still use a glass rectal mercury thermometer.

CloudBurst:

I don't think glass thermometers are more precise than electronic ones (which can also be used rectally). In fact, since a glass thermometer is slow to register, one may need to be extra cautious for accurate measurement (if used orally one must make sure the thermometer is in contact with the tongue throughout the measurement).

Furthermore I do not see why mercury should be more accurate than the other liquids used in glass thermometer, which do not pose the same hazards if the thermometer breaks.
