Thermometer style

Are the glasss Geratherms used often in a hospital environment? More cumbersome orally as they don't fit as nicely as the old school glass ones...but still much better in my opinion than the tympanic variety.

I'm into the glas one too. The shking down, slow gentle insertions,a dn lying there with the feeling in you butt makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Exposing my butt for a while with a glass thermometer in it is really a nice lead up to a good enema session too.

Glass for sure...traditional, plus the wait is part of the appeal

Definitely the glass. Wish they still sold them!

Classic glass

What about the disposable ones? They are nice also

Isn't it absurd that in a society which thinks it is so open about sex and nudity, there is so much prudishness about a simple rectal temp? And isn't it also absurd that we have allowed that silly modesty, plus our love of high tech, and a fear of the dreaded mercury make us opt for more expensive and less accurate ways of measuring temperature. Those who point to the speed of digital or tympanic or temporal artery temps ignore situations like this where it probably took 30 minutes to finally get an accurate temp.

Here is some evidence as to how very inaccurate the tympanic thermometers are. A year or so ago I read in I believe a parenting magazine that you should always get three tympanic readings and then average them to get an accurate measurement. Now think about that. If the ear thermometer is accurate, you don't need but one reading. And if it is not accurate, taking multiple readings won't necessarily help. Consider this example: you get readings of 97, 100, and 103. Perhaps the true temp is 103 (maybe due to a "practice effect" you got it "right" on the third try), but you are told to average the temps, so you assume the "correct" temp is 100!! Yes, I know, I picked a wide spread of temps for the purpose of illustration, but the point is that you can't make an inaccurate measurement more accurate by doing it repeatedly and averaging the results. In fact, if a child is getting increasingly impatient and squirming around, repeated measurements may be less accurate.

Classic thermometer are my fav.

I absolutely prefer the "old" model of glass or plastic. I would say that the digitale ones doesn't give the same associations. At least not before inserted. :-)

My favorit Thermometers are the glass Thermometers. I find the digital thermometers are inexact.

I like the glass but we have both, when my girlfriend plays nurse she always uses the glass thermometer, just like the way it feels and the humililation of laying over her lap or on the bed or couch naked...are couch is leather so that is a bonus but her in her scrubs or her old fashion nurse uniform so much better 😃

Glass rectal is the best for me. I love the feeling of the "exposure" of my anus as the thermometer is being lubed and my butt cheeks being held apart as I anxiously awaited the slow insertion. Just the anticipation of what was coming got me aroused! Then the feeling of the cold bulb tip against my anal skin as it was inserted into my rectum made me shiver with delight. Just holding it in place for three minutes with my butt wide held wide open by my lover was heavenly. Finally, the drag of the glass thermometer against my sphincter as it was slowly removed was an incredible feeling, as I knew what was usually coming next!

Glass all the way, old fashiond type of gal, bye the bye is a candy thermometer what I think it is ,is this an a American thing ,do you eat it after wards.

Old fashioned glass thermometer, of course! 😁

"moi aussi!" i have 3 old fashion glass therm. Collector! Hmmmmmmmm! 😉

with Vaseline.

I still prefer my old-fashioned rectal glass thermometer.

I hated the feeling as a child, but now I love it.

Especially the cool feeling, when it is inserted...

Are glass thermometers still used in hospitals in the US?

here in Germany there are more and more replaced by the ear thermometers. However, a lot of people say that you cannot rely on the measurement of ear thermometers.

I prefer the old glass thermometers since they are a bit longer than the digital thermometers. The bigger the thermometer the better more stimulating to me, especially when taken OTK. Yes, you can try both thermometers out on me to check for accuracy. 😉 The extra insertions are always an add plus. 😃

Modern digital thermometer is just fine for quick check. But when I really want exact temperature I'll prefer glass thermometer.

Definitely cold classic glass with vaseline. I find the glass much smoother as it is being inserted. It slides in and just feels much better than the plastic digital thermometers. The glass feels much better when removing the thermometer as well. As the bulb penetrates my anus and the same when being removed, it makes me shudder as the best feeling in the world.

I still use glass thermometers, they rock! 😃

Far better then plastic digital ones, let alone ear-thermometers 😶

For me it will be the glass.. D modern digital ones are too thin to create the 'feeling' in the anus... But i don't having both of them in my ass...

A big glass thermometer... 😁

Modern ear thermometer

Old fashioned glass is the only way.

Classic glass mercury with the bulb end. There's no substitute for the old classic. 😃

I like the digital ones 😃

I still prefer old glass thermometers, they are cold when touch skin surface, but i know that now they were forbidden in some countries cause mercury is toxic. I hope they never disappear

It was really hard to get mine, but now i have a classical glass one. Think it has more charme 😉

Glass thermomter is better, becaus it's bigger 😜
