Snooping

Growing up, or as an adult, did you ever snoop in other people's medicine cabinets, and find a rectal thermometer and/or look inside a jar of vaseline and holes or "thermometer tracks"? Do you suspect it was still in active use?

I always take a peek, looking for thermometers, suppositories, and enemas.

I thought that I was the only one, until I started reading these posts. I once had a crush on my friend's wife, and found a rectal thermometer with a jar of "hole- poked" Vaseline next to it, in their medicine cabinet. I know, without a doubt, that the thermometer was hers.

Yup i always looked.

Looked and played if possible

Always looked

I always look for them.... and still do. Ya never know what you're going to find...

Are you kidding?! Of course. And, several friends medicine cabinets had rectal thermometers in them. In the 1950s and 60s, it was still the usual way of taking kids' temps. There was one in our medicine cabinet.

I always looked. After i while i would try the thermometer or a suppository.

I have definitely checked...at least for thermometer, I don't remember even inspecting Vaseline for signs of use. Always fun to think about...

I have snooped in medicine cabinets. I remember finding suppositories and oral thermometers. Don't remember if I ever found a rectal thermometer but then again, this was when I was younger and didn't know the difference between oral and rectal thermometers. I do remember looking once in a house that I was house-sitting for a high school teacher. I was surprised to find a syringe with a needle in there. Definitely made me wonder what it was used for and hoped that it was to give her husband some shots in his ass.

Warning: If I come to your house I will snoop for enema equipment! (smile) I am 65-years-old and back when I was growing up every household had a fascinating array of enema and douching equipment and to this day I can tell you what type of feminine hygiene/enema equipment every neighbor and relative used. And although this was always my main pursuit I always did a cursory look through the medicine cabinet to look for suppositories, douche powder (Massengill used to be a popular brand) or whatever else I could find to suit my perverse interests. If time and security were on my side I would even give the equipment a tryout. On a certain level this practice has never left me and back to what I said, if I come to your house I will snoop in your bathroom for enema equipment.

We have enough enema equipment to open a store, but you won't find anything anywhere you can go in the house and if you open locks and cross into private areas, the burglar alarm will go off.

I use to snoop when I was younger no more though.

Susie's burglar alarm wouldn't be my worst fear; it's what she would do to me if I tripped off an alarm.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

If you come to my house and snoop for enema equipment all you will need to do is go to the upstairs bathroom, open the linen closet door , look on the top shelf, and you will say to yourself, "My God, I have hit the motherland." I have a large clear plastic storage tub with all sorts of bags, tubes and nozels.

I've been curious, but have never been a snooper. For one thing, I rarely use the facilities in someone else's home.

Haha. I read a funny story in some magazine long ago about a woman who trapped her medicine cabinet by placing marbles so they would fall out all over the floor if the cabinet wasn't opened in precisely the correct manner.

Once a snooper, always a snooper. That's something I've never outgrown. I especially liked to check out the medicine cabinets of women that I was dating. I never got caught, and also never found anything "rectal."

Judging from what I've read here, I guess that i wasn't the only snooper. Whenever I babysat our neighbors' two boys, Donald and Stephen, I would examine the rectal thermometer in their medicine chest. They had a rectal thermometer in a case, made by Baxter, complete with its own red stand.

Also, my neighbor, Kevin, who lived across the street, had a B-D rectal (like our 2) in his parents medicine chest. Both bathroom medicine chests had Vaseline jars with pitting holes inside, just like ours!

I never snooped

I have never snooped before but probably will now that I have heard about you all doing it.

I use to snoop when I was younger no more though.

Growing up, I did "snoop" in medicine chests and in the late 1960's and early 1970's the contents of my friends families were mostly the same. The blue jar and white lid of glycerine suppositories was a common staple. As was the rectal thermometer in white, black or green pencil case. And next to in the jar of Vaseline.I would sometimes open the lid and try to count the "holes" made from the dipping of the thermometer bulb. Oftentimes an enema bulb could be found as well. I would imagine one of the children with the thermometer up the rectum or holding a suppository to combat constipation or clenching the nozzle.

I have only snooped once, as far as I can remember, and that was when I was maybe 12 or so. My friend in the neighborhood had two younger brothers and one day when I had come over to hang out my eyes were Immediately drawn to a very large jar of Vaseline and a yellow BD rectal thermometer sitting on top of the jar. I either asked him about it or he saw me looking at it, I mean it was sitting right out on the family table, and he replied that his youngest brother was sick and his mom had just taken his temperature. Well that really piqued my curiosity and a few weeks later, when I was sleeping over I got to use the master bathroom and couldn’t resist the urge to look in the cabinet. Sure enough there was the BD rectal thermometer in its yellow plastic holder and the same large jar of Vaseline. I had to look at the jar and it had many little scoops taken out showing how well used it was. I later figured out that my friend was still getting his temperature taken rectally as a 13 or 14 year old. Even though I would never had dared it would have been nice to have his mom check my temperature.

I still look

Oh yeah...I've found douche bulbs, enema syringes, vibrators, rectal thermometers, disposable enema and douches................

When I was about 9, I would always snoop in my parents bedroom when they weren't home- inside my father's armoire, I found a small vibrator- small, off white, horizontal ribs, with a little twist dial at the bottom to turn on and off. I really wanted to use it... I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a sandwich baggie, and ran back upstairs. I pulled my pants down, and my tiny little ween was dripping... I put the sandwich baggie over the vibrator and slowly started to push it in- it was so exciting! Then, I turned it on, and I came in about 30 seconds. All of a sudden, i heard the garage door close, and I knew my parents were home. I quickly wiped the cum off their green carpeting (not very well), turned the sandwich baggie inside out (cause it was a little dirty :/ ) and threw the vibrator back in my father's armoire... (I found it next to his watch, and some pocket change).

I quickly ran out of my parents bedroom, trying to calm my heart, and slow my breathing... my father yelled up the stairs to see if anyone was home, I replied "yeah! Just reading!"

I don't "snoop" as in searching, opening closets or cabinets without good reason (good reason = the roll of toilet paper is empty and I want to find another one).

Sometimes, however, people have closets with shelves but no doors, and leave stuff lying there... or they leave stuff on the counter near the sink or on the bathtub. I've seen intimate hygiene products, Vaseline, oral contraceptives, laxatives, suppositories, thermometers... I don't recall anything as obvious as a thermometer over a Vaseline jar though. Also, in France Vaseline is more commonly sold in tubes than jars, so no opportunity for seeing "tracks".

At some point I was sick at home. My wife left the thermometer, Vaseline (or was it jelly?), cotton and alcohol on the bedside table. I was visited by a colleague (I had left a dinner with colleagues due to stomach pains the evening before, the colleague was worried). I was very uncomfortable but tried acting naturally. To this day I still wonder whether the colleague did not notice, or just acted politely by not taking note.

By the way, I think that the "right thing" to do if seeing enema / douche / thermometer / intimate hygiene products / contraceptives / suppositories / sex toys by accident in other people's home is to act as though nothing happened.
