Thermometer type used.

What type of thermometer does your doctor usually have and use? Is it glass, GERATHERM, digital or electronic probe type? Or does your doctor not have or use a thermometer in his/her practice? That's not uncommon these days.

Oral probe style is the only type used by my doctor. On me, at least.

I have my own digital and my mom has her own as well and they are only used for oral temperatures.

My new PCP doctor's office uses an oral probe. My old doctors office used an ear one, and incorrectly. More than once I had to tell them it wasn't in my ear right.

The only medical professionals I have had to see in the past few years all used a digital probe, and it was (of course) taken orally. There were clearly labeled rectal probe covers in the room as well, but I doubt they get much use.

Glass mercury with pare shape bulb.

I've never had my temp taken at my GP's office, but the hospitals here use the oral probe.

Mine was always rectal . But at the doc its oral

My girlfriend uses rectal and my doctor uses oral but she is a friend of my girlfriends and told her she would use rectal on me also but yet too happen and her nurse knows also and she did oral last time I visited.

My doctor uses an ear thermometer

I've not had my temperature taken at my physician's office for years and years... probably not since childhood. Except when I lived in the US, where taking the temperature seemed to be compulsory at the start of any visit to the clinic. Ear thermometer the last times, I don't recall the previous times.

The only time I recall a rectal temperature taken in a medical setting was in hospital when I was a kid - the nurses passed the thermometer to me and I had to stick it up my rear.

Just purchased an old style thermometer from e Bay. Actually has a "handle" of sorts. (Hard to describe) but my wife says it feels great. Very nice pear shaped bulb,

My primary has the digital probe one's and my gyno has the ear kind.

My doctor uses rectal and says it's the most accurate .

Where can someone get a big thermometer for deep anal play

I've heard you can get big thermometers at places like "Tractor Supply " with livestock supplies. I've looked and never seen them there but they are also probably available on Ebay.

My doctor uses rectal and says it's the most accurate .

@Ryan, can you give us a bit more colour? It seems unusual for a doctor’s office to take rectal temps these days....

If you want a big thermometer, go buy a candy one at Michael's in the baking section.

Last month or so, my husband bought two from Tractor Supply. We have not tried them yet because of the Holidays and he just recently had eye surgery. They are a little bit thicker than human thermometer. Like I said in the past that rectal temperatures don't do anything for me. But he wants to do it so I am more than happy to let him try it on me.

I get rectal bcause with my allergies and asthma it's hard to breathe. The sure of the tightness of the thermometer is more suitable in my rectum for a better reading. My rectal won't cough or breathe funny so one time it can be done and be done the RIGHT way RECTALLY! .

Regardless of the reason with temp being taken, my mom always said that the one taken rectally is always the best accurate way regardless.

Word of caution on candy thermometer; if well lubed and CAREFULLY inserted, they can be fun. But be especially careful. The glass is thin and if it was to break.....on Lord that could be bad. Play safely.

I liked the diameter of the candy thermometer but we determined that it was too thin for our play. I can see myself on that show "Sex sent me to the E.R.". Played it safe and went with the vet thermometer.
