Purchasing new rectal thermometer

I had a fairly small digital rectal thermometer for a while, but it seems to have been misplaced. So I am in the marker for a new one, any suggestions? Are digital the best way to go?

It depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to check your temperature quickly and efficiently with little else, then digital thermometers are widely available and you won't find anything that will do it better. If, on the other hand, you find yourself aroused by med fet and rectal temperature taking, you may find, as many of us do, that a more classic clinical thermometer using gallium or alcohol or mercury is the ticket. Those thermometers are most likely to be found on ebay. The connoisseurs enjoy the red tip and pear shaped bulb of the "originals."

I much prefer the old fashioned red tip thermometer for med play temp taking. However, if I need to take a quick temp I will use the digital thermometer.

Thermometers are CHEAP.

Take a walk on the wild side and just buy a few.

See what you like.

Yah, they are. I just upped my stock with six Tem-Con red tipped rectal thermometers in their original government packaging for 11 bucks.
