Rectal Thermometer User ?

I have 2 thermometers...One is an old mercury and the other one is a mercury free thermometer and they are both hidden away in a secret place with a small jar of vaseline where people will never think to look and I only pull one out to take my rectal temperature when no one is around and when I have the whole house all to myself.

I have two from when I was a kid, both rectal BD models. I have 4 more collected over the years. one Geratherm model from Europe, and an old pre-ww2 finish rectal thermometer, I found at a swap meet, years ago. I also have a 1949 model 150 BD flat, as well as a 1950's BD red flash. So would have to say, I have at least 6 rectal and one or two oral, rarely used. and no digits at all.

I use them on my self , for play and when sick. It is very rare that I have someone over into RT. But a time or two my thermometers have seen other butts than mine. While in college my thermometers saw my roommate's butt many times and mine as well. college years were fun!

My avatar picture is the 1949 BD flat rectal thermometer.

One , used for play. But when a temp is needed because of sickness , it is ready.

Yikes. you're like the Jay Leno of thermometers. He collects cars though.

I have actually two. One old glass thermometer and one digital thermometer. But definitely I prefer the first one, which brings back a lot of memories when in use...

I have a nice collection today, but some of my older favorites broke. You can never have enough in my opinion. When I look at Ebay's prices, I want to gag. I wish that there was a more reliable source, but apparently there are folks who are willing to pay through the nose for a piece of glass. If there was even a foreign company that produced the old retro style thermometers, I'm sure that they would do well. There's a high demand for vintage rectal thermometers, which tells me that all of us who post here aren't alone.

Thermometers are at least a great deal cheaper?

I own several thermometers. Mercury and digital.
