Nice to read your comment ! - so are you also a friend of stimulating lube ??

KY gel for sure. I do use Vaseline once in a great great while though but KY for pretty much everytime I take my temperature

I use Vaseline as it provides a better sensation than KY or mother lubricants. It is also the lube of choice for those of us who grew up in the 1950s.

Non lubricants is the best feeling

Specially when the thermometer is cold ( I’m keeping it at the fridge )

I typically use vaseline because it's cheap and a container lasts a good long while. It's also good for it's advertised purpose which is nice and makes it far less conspicuous than a personal lubricant at checkout.

I prefer vaseline since it was used my entire life. I also like the residual squishy feeling it gives long afterwards.

Not to mention the distinctive smell, which is quite evocative for me!

Vaseline brings back many good memories but KY or other water-based lubes make the thermometer much easier to clean

I use Vaseline and after I measure it, it reminds me it's there.

Vasiline or to add a bit of kick Vicks!

My Mom always used Vaseline when she took my rectal temperature.

Laura, I agree about the vaseline. It isn't as cold, lasts longer, and doesn't drip off the thermometer. I also think a lot of your feelings depend on what you grew up with.

Vaseline the gold standard for rectal temps. The jar in our house growing up had lots of holes in the petroleum jelly, from use with the rectal thermometer.

KY gel, no lube or vicks... depending on how obedient I was
