Tops and color of the thermometers used on you rectally.

Came across two of what I consider great images of the "barely teen/of age/18" theme girls having their rectal temperatures taken. One was Lacey Blue (18eighteen magazine) "The doctor took my temperature up my butt!" and "Shelly's sick room, Live Young Girls magazine. Both girls had glass mercury rectal thermometers with blue no-roll tops used and inserted (great close ups) as both girls were in a somewhat knee chest position and the camera in close on the inserted instruments in their respective shoots.

Some here might be familiar with these particular shoots that were done, one even being a video.

So, can you remember if the last time your rectal temperature was taken if the thermometer had a blue or red top or no color at all?

Thermometer that my mom used to my rectal temperature had no color at all. It was clear.

The one my mom used on me was a rectal pear shaped bulb and it had no color on it but numbers were blue to 98.6 then red to 106.

I have bd flat model 150 it has only black numbers and no color on the none bulb end just rounded and clear

Red cylindrical holder, the one end was a red triangle with the marking rectal,and b-d other end silver pear shaped

My thermometer growing up was a B-D, and it had a blue triangle tip, but it clearly said “rectal” on the side. It was in a white plastic screw top case.

Last time I had my temperature taken rectally with a glass thermometer, other than by my wife, was in the hospital after I got seriously injured on a snowmobile. I only remember the nurse sticking the thermometer up my butt once because I stayed sedated. I just felt groggy and care free. I was on my side and I didn't know why she was reaching behind me. My butthole felt a little uncomfortable for a second, but I was too drugged to realize she just stuck a thermometer up there. After I started getting more woke up and alert, I noticed a thermometer with a red plastic case on the counter by my bed. The thermometer had a stubby tip and a domed shaped red end. There were a couple small packets of Surgilube laying beside it with alcohol wipes and exam gloves.

What is the best rectal thermometer to buy. I use an oral thermometer right now with the regular tip, which works and it does ok. But truly I am trying to find d a truly rectal thermometer with the pear shaped tip on it for the true vintage feel from back in the day as a child having that cold glass thermometer put up my little bottom. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our family rectal thermometer came in a white "pencil -case" holder. The top was also white and a screw-off type

that I remember would squeak as mom would twirl to open and remove the rectal thermometer. It's bulb was round at the end and the thermometer was marked "stubby/safety" on the side. The stem was not colored red like some rectal thermometers, but was rounded off.

My thermometer is in a pencil shaped tube with a blue top
