Type and amount of lube used for rectal temperatures

Always Vaseline for me, even to this day when my bandmates take my temperature. They wipe once their done but I still have a greasy butt after. Good thing I wax that spot. I can't stand the feeling of a furry ass but I really hate it when its a greasy AND furry ass

Whether it's Vaseline, KY, or any kind of "butt butter," a little goes a long way. No need to have grease stains on your undies.

Yes when i was little it was put in vaseline and up my bottom the thermometer went for a full 5 minutes .

When I was made to insert the thermometer rectally myself, no lubricant was used: I suppose it was assumed that if you insert into yourself you feel what you're doing and do not risk injuring yourself.

When mom did it she used Vaseline. There is only one occurrence of her doing so that I recall. I don't recall about the wiping; possibly with toilet paper.

Nowadays we use Vaseline or jelly on the thermometer tip.

Whether at the doctor's office or at home my vaseline was always used on the thermometer. At the doctor's office they always used a huge amount of vaseline. Truthfully, they could have taken 5 people's temperatures with the amount they used. As a side note, my mom once sent me to the pharmacy to pick up another jar of vaseline because she had run out. When I paid for it, there was a high school girl about my age taking the money. She gave me this look as if to say I know what this is going to be used for.

When I had my temperature taken rectally it was always with Vaseline, usually just a dab on the thermometer.

Vaseline was routinely used by my mom and the nurses at the hospital and children's clinic. One of mom's friends named Heather kept me while she and my dad were on their honeymoon. I started feeling a little sick on one of the evenings I was with her. She decided to take my temperature, and because I was only 5 years old, she was going to do it rectally. I remember her asking her 13 year old daughter to get the thermometer with the stubby tip and the Vaseline. I was very familiar with the routine, so I wasn't worried when she pulled my underwear down and raised my legs. Her daughter couldn't find the Vaseline, so Heather put my legs down and went into the bathroom. She couldn't find it either, so she told her daughter to go in the kitchen and get a small amount of Crisco on a paper towel. Her daughter returned with the paper towel with a blob of Crisco in it. She told her daughter to put a good amount on the tip as she lifted my ankles up again. Heather took the thermometer and rubbed the tip up and down my anus a couple times. The Crisco got slippery, and she gently slid the thermometer a good distance up my rectum. It didn't feel cold going in like usual this time, but kind of warm. It didn't hurt at all. She took it back out after a couple minutes and wrapped it in a piece of tissue. She took another piece of tissue and wiped my butt crack, then pulled my underwear back up. I don't know what my temperature was, or if I had a fever, but Heather definitely knew how to take a good rectal temperature using Crisco.

The thermometer is dipped in Vaseline first.

When I was a kid and even now, Vaseline is what is used to lubricate a rectal thermometer. I have always liked the cool sensation of felling the thermometer as it is being inserted and later as my fetish has developed the slick feeling it leaves behind.

My mom lubed the thermometer first with Vaseline

My parents always dipped the mercury bulb of the thermometer in a tin of Nivea cream before inserting it inside my bottom. The smell of Nivea cream is forever associated with rectal temptakings for me. Still today I get kind of excited from the smell of the cream.

Only a few times specially at the doctors office Vaseline has been used. I don´t like it so much because it gives you a very sticky feeling afterwards.

Mom always used a big dollop of Vaseline which stayed with me all day. At the doctors office they used much less Vaseline and I felt much less greasy afterward.

Mom always used vaseline as a kid i have no idea what the drs used

Don’t remember any childhood RTs.

I’ve used both Vaseline and KY when playing doctor in the past. My current girlfriend and I use Vaseline.

I have never seen this mentioned anywhere in this site, but if you have hemorrhoids, try using Preparation H as a lubricant. Solve two problems at once.

Vaseline was the only classic butt grease that I was aware of, until years later, when boring KY jelly, and others came on the scene. Less messy for sure, but not so much fun.
