What type thermometer?

I love the glass one but my girlfriend who is a nurse is really big on the digital probe thermometer

For myself I prefer the digital thermometer, its more accurate. I do have glass thermometers I use for playing, I think glass is better for playing as it stays in a lot longer.

When I was three years old I went to hospital.They took mine twice, and remember it vividly.It was a glass one and the bulb was pear shape.the other end had a triangle on it marked red, and said rectal

I actually like the triangular thermometers because they tend to bump a little as you spin them which can be a turn on. Doing this and pulling it in and out can be a lot of fun. I will alternate this and cupping the bottom with the thermometer between my fingers to make sure it stays in. A fun time for all.

To me, there's nothing like the feel of an old fashioned glass mercury rectal thermometer. Even the newer, lager glass ones don't feel quite the same. I don't care for most digitals. The Vicks brand thermometers are probably the ones I like best.

I did just get a Vicks blutooth thermometer. it works well with a smartphone and the app has a rectal temp option, keeps full records, emails graphs and a chart , etc. My only bitch about it is that it only takes 8 seconds to register. I prefer the old 3-5 min it used to take.

Does one need to ask? A glass mercury thermometer that says Rectal in red in on it. Could be the stubby type, but I prefer a pear bulb. And of course you need Vaseline,

I was very disappointed when the pear- shaped glass thermometers weren't available anymore. Now you have to be willing to pay a fortune to get them on epay...if you can even find the one's from the 50's and 60's. I understand that technology took over, and the digital probes became the new trend. Unfortunately, it's not like you can locate stashes of vintage thermometers anywhere. Most of the old hospital or pharmacy inventory was likely snapped up by the epay sellers, or just disposed of. Comparing a vintage glass pear-shaped bulb thermometer to a digital, is like comparing a French bottle of wine, to a generic boxed wine, made in New Jersey. Even the rectum knows the difference !

As we all know, the good 'ol glass mercury thermometer is now unavailable at our local drug store or grocery. I understand....mercury is a big NO NO. EBay is an excellent choice for our old fave. Digital is okay but there is nothing to compare with a good cold glass thermometer!! My wife and I have about a dozen of various vintage. We sometimes put one in the freezer for extra fun!!!?

I think that the old fashion rectal thermometes are the best !

You can find them in internet on site as amazon or ebay.

I also take an old glass thermometer. In former days I have often taken a digital Thermometer, but all have broken.

:-(

A friend of mine bought a thermometer with a flexible top.

I think it is obvious why the top is flexible. ? I also love digital thermometers.

A glass one is the best .Looking for a larger size more heavy duty go to a vet supply store and order an animal one .

Try it. You’ll like it!

Glass for sure. A few years ago, I bought a box of 5 from Surgicalshop.com, which ships from India. I was pleasantly surprised that they were bigger than the American thermometers I had known in my youth. Unfortunately, when I placed a repeat order 2 years ago, the thermometers delivered were the standard size.

Definitely glass thermometer!

It is the one that was used when I was a child.

I’ve always used electronic ones, although I find them too small. Considering buying one that’s intended for a vet to use.

I love these vintage thermometers and the fact they are triangular. When you spin them they have a little bump to them that is fun while you are waiting.

Was a glass thermometer back in the day. Now both digital and glass are used.

There's a thrill in any thermometer but we all have our favourite.

For me it's the traditional cyndrical glass thermometer. I love its gold glassy feeling and its smoothness of insertion.

The more modern white plastic thermometers don't quite sit as nicely in the bottom but the anticipation of that beep beep beep is highly stimulating.

I now take mine with a digital thermometer.

Question: What is the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer?

Answer: The taste.

Geratherm - larger, glass European style. Classic.

We still use a BD rectal thermometer on occasion. It was purchased from a medical supply in 1984 when I was cared for at home by a visiting nurse after being critically injured in an accident. It's still as accurate as when it was new. On the first day Nurse Angie came to our apartment, she gave us a list of medical items to have, including oral and rectal thermometers. I bought another glass oral years later after ours accidentally broke (I hit it on the side of a dresser shaking it down) and then a digital to use with the girls.

I must admit it's more "fun" for my husband to take a rectal with our "vintage" BD if I'm sick in bed with a nasty headache and a stuffy head cold. He just laughs when I tell him it's an act of love and caring, but it really is.

I have several i can choose from. In my playroom I have a sure temp hospital grade unit with a rectal probe as well as a traditional glass one. In the bedroom bathroom I have a traditional glass rectal one also.

A vintage glass rectal with a pear shaped end. Mother had two of them, an upstairs and a downstairs thermometer. The upstairs was a BD in a clear plastic case. The downstairs was a generic in a black screw case with just a stubby end. She believed in accurate temps for little boys

My girlfriend and I play a lot with thermometers in our sexgames. We check our temperature, often before sex or after a ''good fuck'' just for fun or if we fell sick, we then use those good glass thermometers from our childhoud.

When we are kinky and keep thermometers on (or in) us when having sex, we use small digital instruments to be sure to avoid any accidents. Safety first.

I've got a small collection of mercury from various eras. I have a,1950's model with a small handel.

I like to use a full immersion 16 inch thermometer.

Currently I only have a digital one, so can't take the temperature with a glass one

Geratherm here rectal one for me and my son.
