What kind of rectal temp do you prefer?

I live in an area where horse owners are everywhere. Looking for a more intense glass, rectal thermometer experience, I had an "ah ha moment"---- I went to my nearest livestock store and there it was- an equine thermometer! Perfect.

Rectal glass bulb

Military rectal thermometer,glass

I usually use a glass rectal. It's simply more accurate.

I have 3 vet thermometers I bought years ago. They are well built with a loop on one end so a string can be tied on so you cant loose them.

I used a digital termometer

Glass...or digital...

Definitely the good old glass thermometer

I like the glass ones as well. However, I would like to get a digital thermometer that can monitor.

I use glass, better reading

Old fashion glass is the best

Glass with vaseline is the only way for me. love that slipprey sliding thing :-)

I've seen several people mention a glass candy thermometer... gives a whole new meaning to yummy.... love to try it!

Definitely not as good ... you should be able to find a glass rectal online ...

A good glass thermometer can be found a feed store or Vet supply company. These are usually a little larger with a loop at the end to tie a string unto so it can never be lost!

Whatever my doctor prefers....

For accuracy I have several vintage glass thermometers. For fun, I have my big candy thermometer

I really wanna have a glass one tried out on me, I only have a digital one.

I like the digital ones 😃

The glass, bulb thermometers work for me... The larger Geratherms have their place too...the sensation while rotating is great!

Definitely, the old style glass rectal thermometer with the pear-shaped bulb. Memories from 'way back.

Glass Thermometer, Ecofriendly Without Hg.

Glass with a wider bulb, but the older mercury thermometers are not sold now and these are difficult but not impossible to obtain. The candy therm is also a cool one.

Glass or hospital grade filac or ivac or sure temp with a nice red rectal probe

To obtain glass thermometers try visiting a veterinary supply store, (sorry about you city people.) We have several stores in this area because of the dairy and recreational equestrian businesses.

Glass is the way to go ... so smooth.. 😃

Glass my wife asked when she fou nd my stash if that is a rectal thermometer i told her yes now whena temp is taken its always done rolled over face down lol

A nice cool glass thermometer

Many folks seem to prefer the older, glass thermometers and YES...they 'can' be pretty hard to find. I'm lucky to have a couple and do surf ebay from time to time but even there, the availability varies...many times, there just aren't any. 6 packs of Military, rectal thermometers pop up now and then, but classic, pear shaped bulb types are few and far between. The other day I went thru PAGES of vet sites...found a few but not many. Most were 'yellow' in color, normal/small tips and not too appealing. A larger, horse thermometer was pretty common also and I've seen it used several times in the 'Cara Prepare Yourself' rectal temp taking videos...I have one of those and they're a good option to the variety/feel/image of your thermometer collection.

There is nothing like the feeling of a smooth glass thermometer sliding in and out of your bottom ... even more enjoyable with a partner enjoying the experience as much as you do 😉
