Candy Thermometers

There's lots of people who enjoy a candy thermometer. I'm sure the heat isn't a problem, but I'd be concerned about glass shattering. What if the anus contracts and squeezes it too hard ? Imagine the ER treatment, the surgery, the questions asked, the expense.....and finally....will your anus/rectum be permanently damaged afterward ? I'm sure there are better choices. Why not try a veterinary thermometer ? Just a thought.

Today, I got myself a goodcook brand candy/fry thermometer. It is a very large thermometer with a defined bulb at the end. It also has a pan clip. I have a feeling this one is going to be my favorite. Getting ready to try it out now.

I wonder how thick the glass is, would not want that to break inside.

I wouldn't stick that into my body.

The reviews on amazon say it breaks easily and is a piece of junk.

@Switchablesusie - I just googled the make and model of the thermometer, and for once, I think you are right...I should have held off on that impulse buy. Lesson learned!!!

....only once? ? ? ? 😁

Don't throw the thermometer away. I'm sure it is perfectly fine for cooking purposes until it breaks, and at least it won't be inside your rectum. 😁

The fragility of the thermometer really sucks. Seems like something I'd love to have in my ass, especially if it's mercilessly inserted despite me struggling.

You know, I actually considered buying one of these that I saw in an antique store. It aroused me as soon as I saw it. I walked around with it for a bit and then put it back. I thought to myself, I never want to have to go into the emergency room, walk up to the lady behind the reception desk and say: "Excuse me? Hello. I have shards of a vintage glass candy thermometer inside my ass."

@ allie80.....LOL.. I think you made the wise choice putting it back !!!!!

I had one of those thermometers after using it Iwas cleaning it a it broke in my hands. Thankful it happened then and not while it was in use. All I had was some cuts on my hands so stay away from the candy therometers

The best thermometer to use is the ones they use on animals, they are longer and thicker then the human rectal thermometer. 😉 😜 😃

I've got to old favorites from the lab days when photography was done in the "old fashioned way." They are good for med play "the old fashioned way as well. One is a vintage foot-long lab grade thermometer. Thick glass for handling and care. The second is a thicker eight inch beaker thermometer. Nearly 3/4 inch around in a smooth-ended ovoid cylinder. Mmmm... it's nice to slip one gently into an upturned feminine bottom. (Much safer than the China-made and thin-walled candy therms.)

^^^ Ah ! Someone who knows of the scientific "beaker" thermometer & it is a fact they are indeed "fat"

@wayne49 - I may just have to look for one of these on amazon and see if it is suitable for me.

Never tried this type of thermometer rectally

I've used one of these and thought it was great. Unfortunately, I never could persuade another guy to let me use in him before I dropped and broke it. I used for years and the strength of my anal and rectal muscles weren't enough to break it, but the floor did a good job😢

It sounds, generally, like candy thermometers are on the flimsy side. Considering where they'd be going in this case, the safest way to play is probably to use something else.

Also, it's pretty easy to find a functional thermometer that you can use rectally in a pharmacy, even if the packaging doesn't explicitly say it's meant for that. And if size is your motivator, well, there's always toys.

I dunno, it just seems like going to some unnecessary trouble.

Hey, I've played before with the large candy thermometers. Feel great BUT, be careful. That is thin glass! Break that in a bottom and much unhappiness and possible injury can ensue. Lots of lube and VERY careful insertion. Play safe.

Why put anything unsafe up your ass? Get a 1.25 inch dildo, pen some kind of a temperature scale on it and shove it up your ass. Who cares what the actual temp is!!! You're in it for anal penetration!!

IMHO candy thermometers are just stupid in every regard to stick up your ass. They are not at all accurate at such low temperatures, and the outer shell is made out of thin glass, and they just look stupid. Whenever I see one in a photograph it just makes me think the morons were too cheap to even invest in a real rectal thermometer. If you want something bigger, hit the local ag supply store and get an animal thermometer. They are longer and wider and often times had a loop at the end for a lanyard. They are also made out of very touch plastic. Not as nice a feel IMHO as an old glass rectal thermometer, but easily on par with one, and IMHO much better looking than using a candy thermometer, unless you are making candy..

What does a candy thermometer look like? I have never seen one.

Google is your friend. They look like a big thermometer. They usually have a clip on them for attaching to the side of a pot. If you have never made candy that involved melting sugar you probably had no use for one.

My girlfriend owns a candy thermometer and has used it on me a few times, for me personally I don't like the feel of it and so that is why we have only use it a few times and prefer the original glass thermometer or her favorite the digital rectal probe. But she has a collection of rectal thermometers and also stethoscopes!.

I got one of the good cook ones off Amazon not long ago for soap making and had the bright idea for some fun rectal play but it makes me way too nervous. The glass doesn't seem very thin and it hasn't broken yet but I'm not willing to bet my life on it, lol. Just the idea of having shards of glass in my anus makes me want to shrivel up and die.

I've used them but one must be VERY careful and gentle. PLENTY of lubrication and very, very careful insertion. Lots of fun but the glass is thin; disaster can ensue if not used cautiously.

I've never tried it, and wouldn't want to. Would you jump off a mountain, with the hope that your umbrella might stop you from hitting the ground at 150 miles per hour ? Of course not. Use a cattle thermometer, if you want variety. At least it wasn't intended to make candy !

Never tried this type of thermometer rectally

I own 2 candy thermometers and use them, love the feeling of the therm sliding in and out.
