Rectal temperatures | Pre-lube vs lubed thermometer…

First post

This question is addressed to all those who enjoy giving and receiving rectal thermometers. Do you prefer to get pre-lubed with a finger prior to insertion, or do you prefer feeling a pre-lubed thermometer tip spreading the lubrication at the time of insertion. For those who prefer pre lubrication, do you want the lubrication just applied externally, or do you prefer the lubrication to be also internally applied. Please explain your reasoning for your choices.

In this video on how to take a patients rectal temperature the anus is gently lubricated with a finger tip with Vaseline.

As an alternative some people like the sensation of their anus lubricated with Vic Vapour Rub. Has a lasting effect after the thermometer is removed

I don't personally mind either of them, since as a child I got both from different people. My mom preferred to apply the lube on the tip of the thermometer. She used the thermometer to both take my temperature and to push suppositories deeper down my rectum. My grandmother preferred applying cream on my butt first then using it to check my fever. I think the cream might have been something for hemorroids.

One of the local weather ladies gives away Thermometers on the 6pm news every night. I thought it would be funny to call her and ask if they were oral or rectal thermometers. LOL

As a child, the thermometer was lubricated by being dipped into a disposable packet of lubricant. My bum wasn’t touched unless receiving a suppository, then the finger went slightly inside.
