Favorite Positions for Temperature-Taking

Lying on my stomach on two pillows with bottom in air,legs spread slightly,or if done by my man,lying on my back while he holds my ankles up in the air. I like it taken twice and more lube applied the second time!

I prefer to have my temp taken either lying on my left side with my right leg pulled up or laying across a lap. My partner prefers to have me lay across her lap but either positon I am totally exposed both vaginally and anally.

If I'm taking my own temp...I usually lay on my side...its easier to insert that way. If I'm taking somebody else's then face down on their tummy with their legs slightly spread.

I haven't administered one. Could someone tell me if bending over a table is an OK position? I was worried it would fall out in that position.

I like having my Rectal Temp over the knee, with my panties pulled down and my rosebud lubed up and my buttcheeks spread and then having the thermometer slowly slid deep into my rectum and held there. I like those big candy thermometers.

I like to have my sub like on her back and lift her legs in a diaper position and then take her temperature. I think this position is the best because it gives access to both holes, depending on where you want to take the temperature!

OTK has got to be the best for me. My ex used to take mine that way quite regularly

If I'm administering it, I'll tell the guy to get in diaper position. If he ends up with an erection, there'll be no hiding it 😉

My pediatrician took my temp always in the diaper position

my mom always laying with the face down

For me diaper position is more exposed as he holds your legs up in the air by your anchles or puts arm behind knee. also all fours knees spread so doctor can arch back and spread cheeks wider. Have not tried over knee but I would be willing to let someone do that. I also like when it is checked multiple times for accuracy.

I have my wife laying on the bed on her belly with a pillow under her hips. I cover everything but her bottom emphasizing that her most private parts are totally exposed to me. It helps if the room is nice and cold.

As far as i remember always laying on my tummy at the paediatrician. at home always laying on my side.

I recall beng at the docotr's office once when I was young with my mom, and the nurse took my temp rectally by having me roll onto my side. My mom was there for the whole thing. I was hoping she'd tell the nurse isn't usually taken rectally, but she apparently deferred to the nurse's preference for rectal temps

Diaper position, but sometimes on my stomach too

On my tummy, feeling the fingers spreading my cheeks

On my side or on my back, feet on the matress

When I was little I never had a pediatrician, just our regular family doctors office. In every room there was a bottom draw in the exam table that was full of little play toys for kids. The nurse would always let you pick out one to keep at the end of your visit. I remember sometimes the nurse would sit on a small stool and open up the draw. Then I would bend over her lap and look at the array of toys while she was taking my temperature. I was never fussy and didn't mind the rectal temps, but I'm sure this was a good diversion for less cooperative children.

On tummy, on side, on elbows and knees, bent over, and standing.

My tummy, side, elbow & knees, and OTK.

Usually face down on my tummy

The first rectal temps that I remember were when I was probably 2 or 3, I usually was on my stomach on the floor with a changing pad under me. One time that sticks out in my mind I was probably 3 and mom had me on my hands and knees on the living room floor with the thermometer in and a blanket on top of my back. Not sure why she had me in that position that time, but it sure was a memorable one.

Nowadays when I'm taking my own temp, I'm usually on my side, or sometimes on my stomach.

My favorite is OTK, however I'm normally on my stomach or bent over. I've never done it diaper but want to try(:

Almost always on my tummy or on my side with a leg raised. Facedown is my favorite.

I've had it taken on all fours before, but purely for enjoyment purposes 😃

I've only had rt taken in play situations and has been while laying on my side both times.

When I was a kid temperatures were taken rectally both at the doctor's and at home (by mom). The position was always face down with pants down to mid thigh and shorts pulled down to just below the butt. When my brothers and friends and I played "doctor" as kids (until we were about 12) the position was always the same as when our moms or doctors took our temperatures. Those were fun times!

On my back with legs held up as a baby. In bed on my stomach laying over a pillow or on my left side with both legs pulled up to my chest as a child and teenager. Occasionally standing and bending forward with my hands on my knees or on the bathroom counter during my teens.

Laying across my wife's lap...

I've had my temp taken while laying on my stomach, and also laying on my left side with my left leg straight and my right leg brought upwards towards my chest.

My most favorite was otk. Butt I've also had it taken laying over the end of a couch, or laying on the bed, even standing up. There all good. 😃)

As a child, on my tummy, both at home and in the pediatricians office. As a teenager temps changed to oral. After marriage the method changed back to RT on the tummy.

As a child it was always in diaper change position. I really hated it.
