Which is the Best Rectal Thermometer ?

Marsha, not wanting to be too personal, or to invade your privacy, but has anybody ever inserted a rectal thermometer in your naked derriere?

The really true, genuine rectal thermometer was manufactured during the 50's and 60's, with the classic pear-shaped bulb, with etched black and red numbers on the stem. They're dead on accurate, feel great, and have that "wow" look about them. They were discontinued in the very early 70's, to my dismay. A digital or glass non-mercury rectal thermometer with a pear-shaped bulb, and thick stem, would be incredible to see, but in this day of draconian and robotic thinking, you'll never see them. The closest thing that can duplicate those feelings, is a string of anal beads ! I've mentioned the hazards of mercury, but if you're careful, and handle it delicately, there shouldn't be any worries.

Rectal temps taken when you're sick can be a nice oasis. Might as well get some benefit when feeling lousy. Lol We have a Taylor rectal thermometer that my mom used. Still accurate in perfect condition. Have to be careful shaking it down not to bang it on something. I suppose it might be valuable today. I bought two digitals a few years back, one for top and one for bottom. 10 seconds and a beep isn't as sexy as 3 minutes and a few pats on the behind during the wait!

JJM, the mercury thermometer scare was greatly overblown by those who wanted to sell us much more expensive thermometers and a never-ending supply of batteries, while appealing to speed and modesty. Evidence of that fact include the large number of us who used to play with the mercury that came out of a broken thermometer without apparent injury, and from the fact that the "environmentally friendly" light bulbs contain mercury. These bulbs will be put in the regular trash and crushed with the rest of the garbage, releasing the "dreaded" mercury.

I like the thermometers that take a while and the ones that are big. I forget what they're called but they're pretty wide and the sub for the old style mercury ones. They're fatter and colder, and the digital ones are not. Candy thermometers are fun though! They're long and thick and cold!

Mercury, for pretty much the reasons Vicki already mentioned. They take longer, feel better, and there's just something peaceful about them, even when they're arousing. I think it's because they don't make any sound. And it's certainly more enjoyable when I'm actually sick to get to relax for a little bit!

Corinne, there exist gallium thermometers that behave much like mercury ones but do not have the issues posed by mercury.

Mercury. Digital is boring and it's too fast.

A glass rectal mercury thermometer is the best type for accuracy.

Most often I use an analogue Geratherm glass thermometer. It feels like the most traditional one and it is the best one - if you have got the time to wait. I also have got a digital rectal thermometer. I use it when I don't have the time, because it's faster. So it depends on...

I use an analogue Geratherm glass thermometer.

Agree with "tvcfl1421," that mercury thermometers (especially rectal ones) are the gold standard. Digital thermometers "save time" by beeping whenever the reading stops going up. If you wanted, you could do the same thing by watching the mercury column in a mercury thermometer and removing it when it stops rising rather than waiting the full 3 or 4 minutes. Try a digital thermometer on a fighting, wiggling infant whose movement is constantly changing the depth of insertion or even pushing the probe out. It takes forever for the thermometer to beep in those cases.

Definitely the old mercury ones. I don't have one, sadly, I have tried the newer glass models but they don't produce the same feeling for me. I would love to get someone to insert an old fashioned glass one in me and hold it there.

Use which ever you have prefer. This is med fet, so you are just going through the motions/rituals for your play and enjoyment. In fact, you don't have to use a real thermometer, just something the right shape. Could even be a wood dowel. In med fet, nobody really cares what the true reading. If the patient is going to receive an enema, the true actual temperature isn't going to change anything. Whether it is 95 or 103, the enema is coming. If the temp check is to be followed by a spanking, it is going to happen regardless of the actual temp.

So use what ever thermometer you have or desire. Hand have fun.

For me it's a no-brainer....The old fashioned glass, mercury thermometer is the best. Not only does it feel better when in place, but it holds many, many pleasant memories.

I like the older glass thermometers. Mercury or not, if you're careful, they are not going to break inside you. I love the feel of a rectal thermometer better than the digital one. Takes longer in the insertion also.

Another way to look at this. Would you prefer a real apple, to artificial apple flavor ? Hands down, a vintage glass rectal thermometer is the way to go. It has all of the attributes that contribute to the ultimate "temperature experience." Just add an attractive temp. taker, who knows how to "do it right ! "

We have several vintage glass thermometers. We both love them

How about one that works, lol.

If I'm healthy , I use a Geratherm basal .

When I'm sick a Geratherm classic

I prefer the old glass ones to the new digital ones. The old glass ones take longer 4 or 5 min. to the digital one that takes your temp in like 38 sec.

At our house it's the old fashioned glass thermometer. My Girlfriend takes hers that was and when need be, I still take my adult children's temperature that way. I could lay for hours with a thermometer in my bottom.

I only use a classic old glass fever thermometer

For fun, it's got to be good old glass and Mercury. For illness, it's usually glass, but if time is an issue, we'll go with digital.

For me? One that is inserted by a kind & caring woman who understands anal sensitivities. It is a plus if she also enjoys having me expose her nether region, spread her cheeks and peer at her anus, prior to lubrication, and inserting a rectal thermometer. Did I mention that a soothing and relaxing massage should be a part of the package?

Thermometer? I have a few 'rectal' thermometers; one ancient, and another that is 11" long. And, a couple more that have a red triangular tip on one end, and a short round stub on the other. And, in the middle, it reads, "Rectal".

I know it is just a word but it seems magical when it is sliding its way home, especially with a steady hand taking me on that journey...

I agree that an old, and old-fashioned glass mercury rectal thermometer is best under all circumstances. I haven't taken a temperature, mine or someone else's, in any other way for years and years.

Nothing is sweeter than laying your hand upon someone's forehead and saying "Hmmm. You feel warm. I think we'd better take your temperature." Even if their skin is cool to the touch. 😃 It's the nurturing that I like, especially, coupled with the anal stimming as Hermann said. There's just no way that using an oral thermometer is appropriate under such a circumstance, imho.

If its just for play, nothing but glass mercury thermometer. And Vaseline for lubrication. Its a total package, the sight of the Vaseline jar, the thermometer case, the sound of it being shaking down and than the wonderful insertion. Not to mention that the long waiting time for the glass thermometer to register brings on a ever increasing sense of erotic pleasure for me even if I'm just laying there. But if I am actually ill, I will mostly use a digital, still nice but very quick and easier for my wife to read.

I do have a thick glass sex toy that has a large bulb on the end like a huge thermometer, now that is especially nice.

For me, not even a question here .... MERCURIAL, GLASS! Does any other type exist?

I have been reliably informed by a friend that a glass candy thermometer does work and work very effectively, not to mention the slightly larger size affording a more pleasurable experience. But I have no experience with regards to this or how accurate the reading would be .

Doc and I tend to be pretty much realists so using a candy thermometer is about as stupid as putting a stethoscope on a vagina as far as accuracy is concerned. However, if you are not OCD like we are about realism then a candy thermometer is something that would give you a bit more feeling back there. And yes, they will register an accurate temp. But then I have to flip back to my OCD realism thought and then ask, "does it matter if it's accurate or not really because apparently accuracy isn't something that you are really striving to achieve."
