Lube for thermometer

KY is my favorite

There's just something so humiliatingly erotic about seeing a thermometer next to an open jar of Vaseline on the nightstand and knowing it's for you

Temp Ya L8R

My parents took baby oil

It was always Vaseline in our house. I would climb up on the bed, and see the Vaseline, thermometer case and a box of tissues on the nightstand, and I would get those butterflies in my stomach. Still do.

I almost always use vaseline. Sometimes I use KY regular and warming jelly. I did use vicks and other heat ointments as part of a "ditzy nurse" fantasy. When I was a kid, I used cold cream since it was the only thing I could get my hands on at the time.

Most times my parents took baby oil, and I do it to myself the same way.Sometimes my dad used spit, maybe he was too lazy to go to the badroom and find the baby oil. But that also worked well. On vacations when I was 11/12, my mother wanted to measure my temperature, my head was hot and red after sun bath. She took sun cream, and she recognized after I told her how it burns... On my own I tested different substances, e.g. shampoo, body lotion, butter, honey,...

I like a good olive oil it's healthy and very effectve

I previously posted that I don't use lube. These days, I use coconut oil. When I was younger, my mom and grandmother used disposable packets of lubricant that they brought home from work (both nurses).

Vick`s vapour..it gives me chills up my spine..very erotic

My favorite remains Vaseline. I like that sticky feeling.

It used to be Vaseline but, now I have converted to KY Jelly.

I have always used Ky Gel. Vaseline would work but the KY Gel feels a little better.

Anything but Vaseline. It's stick and doesn't even lubricate anything very well. Not to mention it's hard to clean.

Coconut oil, KY Jelly or any number of dedicated "personal lubricants" are all better choices, imo.

I like Uranus Anal Lube by Wet or the silicone gel lube by Astroglide.

For me, it's Vaseline.

In general Vaseline evokes memories of getting my temperature taken as a child. Nothing can beat the look of the old fashioned jar of Vaseline with the thermometer case next to it. I agree that KY is less messy. I never liked the squishy feeling the Vaseline left between my cheeks as a kid. It was a constant reminder that I had just had my temp taken or that I was sick and that I was going to be getting multiple rectal temps that day. Now when I play I like to sometimes use no lube because I find the thermometer stays in place better and I feel it more intently.

I liked the squishy feeling the Vaseline left between my bottom cheeks as a kid. I liked the constant reminder that I had just had my temp taken. Knowing that was sick I looked forward to getting multiple rectal temps for the next days.

I still pretty much use petroleum jelly. It's always been the iconic symbol that triggers the associations for me ... the thermometer and the jar of Vaseline go together. Sometimes I've used KY or Astroglide or other water-based lubricants, but mostly just Vaseline. I don't actually find it messy unless there's an excessive amount used--it wipes right up afterward with a wet wipe.

Vaseline, always

That gob of Vaseline left on the anus, like a reminder.

For me, it's petroleum jelly. It takes me back to my childhood when it was my mother's choice for taking a rectal temperature. Like the previous post, mom always left it on the anus and by the end of the day, we had one very slick bottom. In the hospital setting, my nurses used K-Y Jelly on the rectal thermometer. That was not only very cold, it was super slick and it left a "gooey" feel in the butt crack.

Vaseline definitely has a thicker, lingering feel. It’s also not as slippery as KY or other water soluble lubricants, so you feel it more as the thermometer is being inserted. You can also feel it more as it stays in place and registers.

I use vasaline it’s the only thing I know

None. Cause I love to feel the pain when the rectal thermometer is inserted in my anus.

Vaseline 😃

Vaseline or KY

Vaseline

I don't think that anything compares to Vaseline. It's like ketchup on fries. It just belongs on a rectal thermometer. It's so sticky, and delicious, when it becomes all gooey like melted cheese, dripping down the thermometer, when it's just been taken out of a hot ass.

On the occasion I take my rectal temp I use Vaseline. It is what my mom used when I was a kid.

I use either Vaseline or Surgilube....
