Using lube

What kinda lube does everyone use for a rectal temperature? Also when taking the temperature do

You put lube on the hole or the thermometer or both … me I use vasaline but I recently started use in Ky jelly and I usually just lube the tip of the thermometer

In a clinical setting, KY or surgilube in 90 percent of the cases.

Usually just the tip of the thermometer after the thermometer is inserted into a probe cover.

Play setting vaseline, prep-h.

Do a brief DRE. sometimes just insert the finger only like 2 cm into the anal canal.

You really need to keep a variety of lubricants in your exam room, including the water-soluble types which are less greasy and messy (K-Y, Surgi-Lube, etc.) and the petroleum jelly types (Vaseline or even Vick's Mentholatum which is petroleum jelly with Eucalyptus and menthol extracts to give your patient a cold, then hot, then slight sting sensation). Petroleum works better if you take the patients temp while standing because it has that thicker "stay-put" characteristic.

I use Vaseline to take my temperature rectally.

I use KY or something similar and only on the thermometer. Mom didn’t use lube at all. But it’s easier to insert when you’re feverish so most of the time this wasn’t an issue. Sometimes it was a bit of a struggle to get it in without lubrication.

Chilled JO warming anal lubricant on a cold thermometer.

I’ve always just lube the thermometer usually using Vaseline. It’s how my mom and my grandmother did it when I was a little boy also. 🌡️🧴🧻

Astroglide gel water based lube is my go to lube for rectal use.

Dip a glass thermometer in Vaseline, getting a large blob on the bulb

Vaseline just like back then. Also as for where the lube goes it depends. Sometimes just the thermometer sometimes both the thermometer and hole . Both if further activities will be done as well.

When I was growing up, my mother and other caregivers always used Vaseline on the thermometer. I distinctly remember seeing the thick yellow glob on the bulb of the thermometer after it would come out of the Vaseline jar. So that's definitely the most evocative for me and remains my preference.

I usually use ky

I use Vaseline sometimes. Just on the bulb of the thermometer. I don't like to get my finger all greasy so I don't lubricate my manlips with my finger. I leave all the work for my trusty thermometer. On occasion, I'd wet the thermometer under the faucet. Just plain water makes a nice, clean, effective , and stimulating lubricant. But most of the time I don't use any lubricant. My warm asshole is usually moist enough, allowing the thermometer to slip in easily. Also, I prefer the thermometer coming in direct contact with my asshole, anal canal, and rectum without any lubricant acting as a barrier. Whenever I would engage in rectal temperature play with other men, I rarely ever used lubricant. I simply enjoy watching the thermometer slide into their assholes naturally. It's much more erotic that way.

KY or Astroglide for me. I like to put a dab on my anus before taking my temp.

Vaseline just makes a sticky mess.

Well, if we're going for accuracy:

When I was growing up, and I was asked to stick the thermometer into my behind, I was not given lubricant. I barely recall when mom pushed it in herself, I suppose she used Vaseline.

I now use Vaseline or a water-based gel.

I use a jar of Vaseline, there is something special in my mind about not only the greasy feeling that sticks with you after the thermometer is removed but also being able to lube the tip of the thermometer and count how many times the thermometer has penetrated you by how many holes are made in the Vaseline.

I don't use Vaseline anymore, takes forever to get it off you and your toys. Would be better to use as axle grease. LMAO. I'll stick to my Astro glide.

When I used to take a woman’s rectal temperature, I would always use Vaseline, because I wanted them to be comfortable, and upon taking the thermometer out, it was a huge turn on to see it dripping down. I stopped using any kind of lube on myself, because it just makes the thermometer slip out, and it’s harder to feel it in my ass.

Ky or astroglide

Used to use KY, but now Astroglide is available at the grocery store!

Just noticed the grocery store now has the condoms and lubricants (astroglide, ky, et al) in a locked cabinet with a button to push to get someone to unlock it!

@Rigel, I have run into the same thing with our local Walmart stores. However, I can never seem to get someone to come to the lock case to let me get what I want. I have begun ordering @Sexy_Librarian’s favorite lube online with other items for free delivery. I will let them pay Door Dash to deliver it from our local stores. By the way, her favorite lube is KY Warming Jelly.

My Mom always used Vaseline both on the rectal thermometer and the enema nozzle and I continue to use it.

We don't do rectal temperature but as far as lube is concerned, we find that coconut oil is good for all occasions and when we use it we do so liberaly.

I usually use Vaseline and only put it on the thermometer tip. If I do a temperature check on me and I’m in a hurry, I often don’t put any lube, I sometimes use a bit of water.

Vaseline

Unlube is the best for me and for my girlfriend. it feels way way better

Good old fashioned vaseline please. Just watching my giver swirl it in the jar gets me going.

Big glob of Vaseline on the tip and on a quarter of the thermometer.
