Preferred thermometer when taking RTs

I had a temperature probe put up my butt. I had a heat stroke in my late 20’s at one point I was rolled over and a probe with a wire was put up my butt. I remember the nurse taking it out but not going in

Welch Allen SureTemp Plus 692 thermometer 2 reason long probe which I can insert deeply into my rectum and the monitor mode which allows me to keep the thermometer in for however long I like. And plus I use when I’m in my Huggies diapers as it makes me feel like a baby.

I love the glass mercury 💯🌡️🍑 butt when I want something bigger in my tight hole I use my candy thermometer 🌡️ I bought a couple of weeks ago 😈

I have a couple of those @chelle300 . 😃

Love the older glass mercury filled with pear shaped bulb on the business end. Love the feeling of that cold glass rod sliding into my rectum!

I like to use the glass one but they’re hard to find now a days … how ever the patients I have had recently with them being nervous and everything a glass one isn’t good to use. So I like to use the flexible tip thermometer there so much easier to use on people who are tensed up and that

Love the old mercury glass thermometer with the stubby bulb at the end, and the red tip on the top which makes it easy to hold while gently moving it in and out of her rectum. Also works for me too!

I haven’t done that in decades, but the vintage glass, with a large bulb, is my favorite.

Glass

I've got a handful of glass mercury thermometers that I bought off e-Bay. That's my preferred although a digital thermometer will do. A quick word of caution to those using a candy thermometer. Use LOTS of lube and proceed slowly and carefully. That glass is thin and were it to break off in the hiney it would be a HUGE problem. Play safe and have fun!!

Certainly glass mercury--that's the childhood memory that was so strongly imprinted for me. It also has to be held in for a longer, satisfying period of time.

Chelle, please be careful. The candy thermometers have a thinner glass than other thermometers. There are footlong scientific thermometers with alcohol inside. They are also thicker than the normal 4 inch glass mercury one.

I like the traditional 4 inch glass mercury.

I have long preferred the mercury Geratherm rectal thermometer. They can be had online rather easily.

IVAC Alaris or similar. These clinical RTs have a handheld console for readouts and a wired probe. The slight tug and extra pressure elevates the experience.

Keep the undie down just a tiny bit and make the waistband rest on the probe that’s sticking out of your hole. The experience sends shivers through the spine

Recently it's been my kinsa thermometer which I really like but I love my geratherm as well

Usually I use my vintage BD mercury however at times I use my Welch Allyn Suretemp first and the mercury to double check for accuracy 😈😈

Time seems to stand still using an old-fashioned rectal thermometer. There’s something mysterious about waiting three or four minutes lying in bed with our Taylor thermometer in the butt taking its time for that thin mercury line to reveal a fever.

It’s also kinda fun to sit on the side of our bed while I’m taking my husband’s temperature this way. It’s a rare occasion when he ever has a fever. He’s so quiet lying there. I like to chat during these three or four minutes, reassuring him that he’s going to be OK, but he hardly says a word. I wonder if most men are like this.

Sometimes I talk to my play partner when she has the thermometer in my butt, but mainly I just lay there. We don’t use glass thermometers

I had a digital one but changed to Geratherm as you can't beat the sensation especially when it's cold and is inserted

@Vicki_V I’ve taken the rectal temperature of two guys. One when in high school, other in college and beyond. Many times each. Other than moaning and distinctly loud breathing, each one was always silent during it. Both had glass thermometers though I have no idea what kind.

I also prefer the old fashion mercury glass….we have 2 at our house! My husband isn’t much into having his taken rectally….sometimes I can get him to let me when he’s sick but not often! He doesn’t hate it but it’s not really his favorite!

I on the other hand don’t really mind it….actually rectal is my preferred way of taking or having my temp taken.

Especially when my husband takes me over his lap (that is My FAVORITE Position for getting a rectal temperature) he puts me or allows me to lay over his lap and gently inserts the thermometer…..it makes me feel taken care of….kind of takes me back to my childhood. It’s not a sexual thing for me but it does kind of feel good! I do and always have had (and still do) take my rectal temperature….other methods are not accurate on me so rectal is the only way to get my accurate temperature! But it just feels good to be taken care of like that!

Definitely a European glass thermometer, preferably with a pear shaped bulb for a smooth inserting. I like the slightly coldish feeling when first being inserted.

@SteveInCt Yes it does look very hot sticking out of a man’s hairy bottom…Yummy 😋😈🍑🌡️

I own a glass one and a flexible tip electronic one. The glass one takes longer to register!

I’m still using my trusted glass thermometer

I like the glass mercury thermometer, of course

Which ever one ‘Sir’ wants to use😈🍑🌡️

Would be happy just be able to take another person RT, never had chance. Any thermometer would do as long as receiver is happy. Would love to play a game: guess my temperature. It works like this, I inserted lubed finger first and try to get their rectal temperature and then check if I got it right using thermometer.... There was short film about couple, man and woman trying this out on each other while being filmed and interviewed by another lady. Was really hot scene.

I actually prefer a "small" glass chemistry thermometer.

#1 they're a little bit thicker and longer than the glass rectal thermometers we all know.

#2 being thicker glass they're actually more durable if they get dropped

#3. I get the ones with the yellow backing color in them so they really stand out (especially for picture taking)

I like using a glass thermometer since it’ll take longer to register their temperature. Currently use a glass veterinarians thermometer because I like the larger size compared to the typical baby thermometer.
