Were can i find an old glass temp?

Hospital style rectal probes are nice, but they just don't feel the same as a good ole glass rectal with a stubby bulb.

Glass seems to be much better 😃

Glass thermometers are the best and must stay inside longer to get a good reading.

Classic glass stubby of course. I just looked at one of the three I have, purchased a few years ago on ebay in the original BD box with "rectal" printed on the outside. The instruction sheet is still in the box and states: Apply vaseline or another lubricant to the bulb end of the thermometer. Insert the bulb through the constricting muscle, leaving about half the length exposed. Leave in place 4 minutes. Words to live by.

I usually go with my old fashion glass one with a pear shaped tip

Would love to find a really girthy thermometer, like a vet's thermometer for equine use or something. That'd be fun! 😁

A Good old fashioned stubby pear shaped bulb glass thermometer is definitely best.

We use a rectal thermometer with a wooden bead glued about an inch above the bulb. The bead is the shape of a small tapered cylinder. It's about half an inch wide. Once inserted past the muscle it's held snug and in place. It won't slip and leaves extra hands for more fun and soft lips for kissing.

The best for me is a glas thermometer where the measurement takes some minutes (better more than too less 😄 ). I don't like the new digital thermometers so much.

Where can I get a good old fashioned glass pear shaped bead rectal thermometer? There are none available where I live.

Gynedoll, sounds like you have the perfect thermometer. That woluld be a pleasure to experience.

At a chain of agricultural supply stores called "Tractor Supply" they have veterinary thermometers which are nice and thick as well as long. I believe that this item would satisfy the needs of even the most fussy provider and certainly surprise the unsuspecting patient.

Definately the old glass mercury style thermometers...hate the digital ones not nearly as satisfying

I prefer to use a glass thermometer on my patients as it can stay inside a little longer then the digital thermometers. While the thermometer is inside it gives a little more time to get some of the paperwork done and also some of the patients like the embarrassment of being exposed while the thermometer is in them. The Digital thermometers are beep too quickly and I just dont trust it.

Glass is then best

Glass any day. I have a couple Taylor Binoc's that are pretty interesting...

Good old fashioned glass/mercury.

Glass mercury thermometer

Nothing feels as satisfying as having a cool glass thermometer lubricated with Vaseline inserted in my rear end by a caring "nurse" One of the best ways to spend five minutes I can think of.

Glass, the feeling of having a lady hold it there is great.

Glass Rectal thermometer with a generous coating of Vaseline is the way to go. There is nothing like the feel of a ice cold thermometer with stiff vaseline on it.

100% glass! nothing else can substitute that.

:😃 Old style...Glass is so...so...so... 😳

Ive always used the digital type.with disposable probes

Digital all the way

Digital is safe. I have a digital thermometer with flexible tip.
