Lube for thermometer

I use Senf

LG Haltstill

KY liquid or the generic, of course.

Vaseline is just so authentic for me. Memories of when I went to the pediatrician.

Vaseline 😃 nothing works quite like it

Vaseline without a doubt!

Coconut oil, as its good for you too 😉 smells yummy and helps it glide in easiely

Today I usually use Vaseline for the thermometer. But when I was young, they usually put some Nivea-cream on the tip. Still today I can remember that when I felt that smell, I knew the thermometer was about to be inserted in a few seconds...

Vaseline always....usless I been naughty and then my girlfriend uses other methods

Vaseline--That is what was used as a child and is still being used today. I like the feel of the thicker lube.

I have always used Vaseline since I was a kid. I have always enjoyed the slick feeling it leaves back there for the rest of the day after the thermometer comes out and my underwear pulled back up, reminding me of having it done when I was a kid. I will sometimes use KY when I'm doing more than just taking my temperature.

KY if it's handy otherwise Vaseline.

I use vaseline

Vaseline.

I use KY gel or Vaseline.

Vaseline. KY is a bit too watery.

I use Vaseline manily due to costs reasons. I tried some kind lube for sexual penetration wich felt more like water based, but Iit's far too expensive and also it came all over the bed because it runs like water. That's also an advantage of vaseline it doesn't soil all of the bed.!

I'd love to see a few words added to a tube of Vaseline: "A time-honored lubricant for rectal thermometers and enemas."

^^^ And maybe we could also add--"Your pleasure is uppermost"...or "Through thick n thin,it goes in"...or "Don't just slide--enjoy the ride"

Vaseline with the thermometer sticking in the jar on the bedroom night stand.

I use vaseline, KY, lube... i try to find new things every time...

We use Ky jelly for lubrication when using a rectal temperature probe. All our patients temperature measurement are aimed at establishing the core temperature, traditionally rectal temperature is regarded as the gold standard measurement used to estimate core temperature. Although at present we are using more urinary catheters with a temperature sensors for core temperature monitoring.

I generally use Vaseline or the bottles of lube I purchase when I buy toys online .

Vaseline. I get butterflies in my stomach if I even see a jar of it in the store. And seeing that glob of vaseline on a glass thermometer, or an enema nozzle, ties me up in knots.

My roommate and I always use Ky to lube the thermometer prior to taking a temp.

I think any water based lube works great, it cools while inserting and really works well to enhance the overall experience.

Through my hole childhood the thermometer was always greased with a dot of Nivea-cream. Still today I prefer it because it´s less sticky then Vaseline. It kind of melts in your body at least if you keep it in long enough... The smell from it also brings me back a lot of "good" memories!

Vaseline, then and now

I always precede a bag enema with an 8 oz. bulb to clear out the rectum. I always put a large glob of Vaseline on the bulb tip. That lets me slide in an EZM inflatable nozzle without clogging it's holes with lube, or waste. Vaseline is thick enough to stay put for the main insertion. If I'm inserting a colon tube, I have a gloved hand full of water based gel like Surgilube, or KY. Astrolube is to thin for anything but labial, vaginal penetration. RT's do nothing for me,, but give me a rectal nozzle and I am happy.

We just use plain old reliable KY jelly when inserting the rectal temperature probes for continuous temperature monitoring in my clinical environment.

I feel like I should revisit my answer here. Vaseline is still my go-to, and I still find KY too watery, but for thermometers and some play my partner and I have found that coconut oil is a dream.
