What type thermometer?

I have a geratherm thermometer myself for rectal temperatures.

Agree with Geratherm rectal.

I have all different kinds available. Several vintage glass with the red top, geratherm, digital with rigid plastic stem, digital with flexible stem, Kinsa wired, Kinsa wireless, and my newest addition a Covidien Filac 3000 which I just received yesterday!

I have to say that my favorites are the vintage glass thermometers to bring me back to when I was younger, but I also really love my newest Filac 3000 as well. There is something so satisfying about watching the temperature register on the screen while it's in you. I have mine set to slow mode so it takes several minutes to fully register. The other digital ones are WAY to fast...

I ''inherited'', so to say, from my parents a small digital thermometer with a double digit reading.

I was fascinated to see my temperature going up from, lets say, 37.24 to 37.26 celsius.

Unfortunately, the batteries quickly went dead and I have not been able to find another thermometer with this fascinating feature.

I still have and use two of the thermometers my parents used on, and gave to me when I left for college. They're the old style BD "Temp Away" kit. The ones in the plastic box where the thermometer kind of clips inside it and it had space for thermometer sheaths, which you can forget about every getting now. But, when I was a kid/teen it made getting my temperature easier because my Mom or Dad would let me put the sheath on and peel the paper wrapper off. For some reason, I thought that was "grown up" and cool!

I have an old Baxter Rectal thermometer that was my mom's - I'm sure it was used on us when we were young.

I have changed the type of rectal thermometer I use to take my temperature. I now use a Geratherm rectal thermometer to take my temperature

I use a digital now when I am sick. I use a glass for play
