Lube on thermometer or bumhole

When you had your rectal temp taken growing up, did they put lube on the tip of the thermometer or directly on your bumhole (or both)?

For me there was a glob of Vaseline placed on the tip at home or some medical lubricant put on the tip at the doctor’s office. I seem to remember having my bottom lubed at some point but it’s fuzzy, which makes me think it might have been done at the hospital when I had my tonsils out.

A tiny blob of lube on the R.t. On the black enema nozzle it was generously applied .

A few times I was lubed with the finger, but for the most part on was lube on the tip.

My mother always dipped the tip of the thermometer into the large jar of Vaseline. She smeared the rectal tip with Vaseline when she was giving me an enema. The only time she pushed her Vaseline lubricated finger into my rectum was when she was giving me a suppository.

The pear-shaped tip of the thermometer was always elaborately dipped forming a globe into the tin of Nivea Creme. Usually it was done in the bathroom already and prepared without me seeing it. But the smell from the Nivea Creme always reached my noose before they entered my room. And then I knew what was soon going to happen to me...

At a very few occasions Vaseline was used instead.

Mom always lubed thermometer and anus. I still do and for my son too.

At home lube on me and thermometer at the doctors just on the thermometer. I think both is better.

The lubricant was always on the thermometer. Mom stuck it in a jar of Vaseline at home. I don’t know what was used at the dr but it was a glob on the end and pushed home.

I only recall the thermometer being lubed. It would usually glisten in the light. There's no prettier sight than a hiney thermometer with Vaseline dripping off of it. Vaseline has made many bumholes happy.

The one occasion that I recall in detail, the Vaseline was on the tip.

When my wife got enemas from her mother, her mother would lubricate the nozzle and often wipe excess Vaseline from her finger by smearing it on the anus.

For me it was both. My mom would come in with the already shook down thermometer standing up in the middle of the Vaseline Jar. She pulled down my Pajama bottoms then guided me over her lap. She put a dollop of Vaseline on her finger, instinctively I would clench my tush cheeks. She parted them with her thumb and forefinger, exposing my rosebud hole. She spread the gel around and then gently butt firmly pushed her finger all the way in to lube my rectum walls. Pulling her finger out, she took the thermometer out of the jar and slid it into my rectum, and held the tip so I couldn't push it out. After about 4 minutes she pulled it out and wiped it off and read it.

The tip of the thermometer was usually slightly dipped into a jar of Nivea creme. That was enough to allow the thermometer to slide smoothly into the anus, without the need to wipe the residual creme from the anus afterwards.

I remember usually getting both at the clinic. I would feel the nurse spread my cheeks with two fingers and then feel the cold glob of gel as it was squeezed onto my anus. (Lubricant jelly was kept in white plastic dispensing bottles just like restaurants use for condiments at my regular clinic). Then I would see her putting a dollop of gel on the thermometer itself right after the wrist snapping shakedown. I clearly remember one nurse who would always say, “let’s put a little goop on your bottom, and a little goop on this, dear!”

I say both, but if only one gets the lube, it should be a glob (directly onto the anus) so it feeds in with the thermometer instead getting wiped off of the thermometer upon entry.

Lube up the probe rather than the bumhole.

However, for a extended RT and Anal play, I would recommend using a lube shooter which lubes up enough for enema nozzles, suppositories, latex probing etc. One 20ml lube shooter shot of water based lube can be enough for 4-5 good entrances into rearend hole. Or even good for some penetrative hanky panky if done right.

My mom usually lubed the tip of the thermometer with KY jelly and the little finger of her right hand. She'd insert her little finger, just inside, with her usual comment of "just relax". It was very soothing, but also quite gooey.

Steffy

Both my mom and the nurse at my pediatrician's office used Vaseline as lube on the thermometer only.

Always only on the thermometer and always Vaseline, as a kid. So also do it this way as an adult.

Presently both are lubed, which I think is appropriate, as there is a complete exam. I first see that the thermometer is being prepared. Sometimes a non-verbal speaks volumes! I do feel my tummy tighten when this happens and await the mandatory direction to lay back and turn over either onto my side or tummy. The nurse then spreads open my gown leaving my bottom fully exposed while then parting my cheeks. Usually I hear, "relax" as a finger lube is conducted such that I do clench a bit as it is impossible to ignore what it taking place. Soon the thermometer is pressing into me and the wait begins. It always brings with it flashback memories of the past and a certain chilling of my cheeks! The paper under my belly and thighs will crinkle as I mumble some replies to her questions! It's a ritual that defines the moment. Love to hear how others react and feel.

All the best.

The procedure of lubing the tip is very nice, I always do it before inserting it in the atient butt.

Sometimes is also nice to lube the parient anus :-)

Mom squeezed Vaseline from a tube onto the bulb and the first inch or so of the thermometer. She stopped taking rectals when I was young, I think five or six. Except when I was 15, I had a respiratory infection and fever. Mom followed the lead of our family doctor's nurse who took my rectal temp in the office. I must've been really sick. Later at home, I remember how Mom folded down the covers of my bed and helped turn me on my side and bared my bottom. She always gave me a gentle pat down there, like everything was going to be OK. I could hear her shaking the thermometer down before squeezing out the Vaseline. Looking back, I wasn't embarrassed. I actually liked her doing that. I felt loved.

When I was a young boy, the metal tip of the glass thermometer was always pre-lubed with a small amount of Vaseline or Nivea cream. That was how my parents did it and that was how I was told to do it as well when I was old enough to check my rectal temperature by my self.

Only in rare cases my hole was lubed, too. At home the tip of the thermometer was put in babyoil before insertion

At home the thermometer was lubricated. In the doctor's office the nurse lubricated both the thermometer and my bum hole.

For me, the tip was lubricated with with Nivea cream, and when finished, the remaining cream was rubbed on my bum hole.

Only the thermometer

At the Pediatrics office the nurse dipped the thermometer in the Vaseline and came out with a glob and she spread my cheeks and visually looked at my rectum. She asked me to relax as she slid the glass silver tipped thermometer deep into my rectum.

She would stand there squeezing my cheeks together and waited the 5 minutes.

My favourite part of the process is having my bottom stroked with slippy cold jelly, I love excess use too, to the point of it being sloppy

Since I cannot recall ever having a rectal temp taken in a real exam, I only have play exams to go by. As a play doctor, I usually do a rectal temp just prior to my. This patients' rectal and prostate exams of my patients only has to come once towards the end of their exams so the lube treatment, for my patients' comfort in not having to sit on lube throughout their exam. Since I do it in that order, I then will liberally lube my patients and not the thermometer. However, if my patient is also getting an enema, then both the patient and the enema nozzle will be lubed. Obviously, when doing any rectal exam I will also liberally lube my glove as well.

As a kid, I never got my temperature taken rectally because I was so unlucky to have a mother who would be embarrassed to do it.

As for being an adult now, I would rather love to take my rectal temperature without using lube on the thermometer and my anus. It is more exciting to insert it in with a little pain 😈😈

@SpankMe2522 I have to wonder... your mom’s reluctance to take your temperature rectally... her “embarrassment” to do so.

Maybe it masks a sincere desire, a true rectal temperature fetish, that she only shared with a certain other person or people. She may have spared you, but she might have craved taking someone else’s. Or maybe she willingly lay across someone else’s lap and submitted to it.

Some Zity members seem to know their parents intimately. But many, like me, know very little of their parents private lives. I’m not sure I want to know.
