What kind of lube do you use on your rectal thermometers

Have any of you ever used Vicks VapoRub in place of Vaseline or other lubricant for taking your rectal temperature?

I just took my rectal temp but all I had was Vicks to lubricate…..it burned a little bit not unbearable! It’s been 5 mins since I took the thermometer out and I’m still feeling the burn!

I usually leave the thermometer in for 3 to 5 minutes…..this time I left it in for 5 mins. I have a 99.8 temp

I haven’t tried Vick’s but I really need to. I’ve used heated anal gel but the burn doesn’t last long. For a real rectal temp, I just used a bit of Vaseline. If we’re playing we used a water based anal lube.

I have used cold cream, Vaseline, Noxzema, and KY, but never Vick's, I find I like Vaseline best.

KY everytime

My Queen introduced me to Vicks and I find it quite exhilarating. I don't do RTs...but for anal insertion it's great...now and then.

KY or Astroglide

I hate Vaseline

Takes a bit to make. Been in this while, best you can get!

Usually non, butt sometimes Vaseline.

I usually don’t use anything but the past 2 days when I’ve gone to take my temperature I’ve been kind of dry and it hurts a little so I’ve needed something….I just had the Vicks handy so I tried it!!🤷🏽‍♀️

@Public_Enema Howdy! I usually don't use lube either. My asshole is generally moist enough to allow the thermometer to slide in easily. Plus I like the thermometer to come in direct contact with my manslit and my rectal love canal without any lube acting as a barrier. Another thing is I like to sniff the thermometer after I remove it from my hole because the musky, masculine, pleasant smell of my asshole turns me on. How about you, partner? Do you like to sniff your thermometer after you take it out?

I haven't tried vicks or vapurub as a lubricant since I usually don't use any lube at all. If you insert it carefully you can skip lubricating the thermometer.

I like either Vaseline or Vick’s which gives it a little more cohesiveness than stuff like k-y or silicone which makes it slide in too easily

Is it ok to describe the feeling of taking my temperature in my bottom….is it against the rules!!

Vaseline always! Effective, inexpensive, readily available and lasts the whole time! Just a simple old fashioned way for lube. Thanks

Hello Shelby 12345 !!!

Please give it a try !!! - in yourself or your partner' s asshole !!!!

It is magnificant, for sure !!!

I guess many substances can do the trick of lubricating the thermometer. But for me, Vaseline is the most evocative of my childhood RT experiences. It stimulates multiple senses: the sight of the jar with the white-on-blue label, the unique fragrance (especially of what used to be called “white” petroleum jelly) and the sticky texture that remains long after the thermometer is removed.

Vaseline. It’s old-fashioned but feels so nice and comfortable. I used to get terrible headaches with nausea and a low-grade fever. My husband would take my rectal temp and hours later I could still feel a little of the Vaseline remaining.

I have used different lubricants. I have used Vaseline or similar petroleum jellies. Have used K-Y or similar lubricants, used cold cream, similar creams/ lotions. Have also used olive oil. Most used by me would be Vaseline.

I know there are gels similar to K-Y that are made for intimacy and generate warmth when in the body. So I would in an actual situation where I needed an accurate rectal temperature; definitely avoid them.

Water soluble lubes like K-Y Jelly make the thermometer much easier to clean. But a big glob of Vaseline brings back nothing but good memories

I previously used KY, but have switched over to Surgilube.

I keep it as clinical and realistic as possible so its either a lube packet or I squeeze some KY onto a small paper towel as the patient watches.

I usually use a water based one but I do have a jar of Vaseline in case I'm feeling particularly nostalgic!

Vaseline is nice as one can get a nice glob on the tip. The jellies tend to just slide off.

I have posted images of my B-D red flash thermometer and show a Vaseline smeared pear shaped bulb just waiting to be put where it belongs!

I use Vaseline on the rectal thermometer when I take my temperature

Definitely Vaseline. I love how it felt, and how I could feel it for quite a while after.

I use water based lube

I would think, WICKS will the best lubricant for all this !!!

Burning a little bit, also cooling !!!

Best feelings !!!

I would think, WICKS

I just figured it out. That would be Vicks VapoRub in the US.

Yes, of course, it will be very, very good for this compatition !!!
