Bare Finger? Glove? Or Finger Cot?

Glove, its smoother.

Love a bare finger in giving and getting, skin on skin.

Bare finger.

Glove. Using gloves for suppositories incidentally got me to start using gloves for all my diaper changes, which I think is quite responsible of me. 😃

Glove every time. It feels better, it's cleaner, no fluid or poop under the nail and I love the latex glove smell. With a finger cot I'd feel like the rest of my hand was close enough to the hole and perianal skin that I'd need to wash my hands, so a glove is better. I use them for other dirty jobs like cleaning the cat box and other cleaning tasks, so I always have a few boxes of them spread around the house. I do still need to be careful with gloves, as my not especially long nails can sometimes poke a hole in them.

I may add that, as far as I can remember, my mother seldom used finger cots - perhaps only if she had injured her finger. So most suppositories were unpleasant... She inserted the fingertip enough to push the suppository totally inside. I don't know how deep exactly, perhaps up to first knuckle?

Sounds like a good reason to double glove. If a single finger is being used, putting a ball of cotton into the glove finger should also help with that if double gloves are not desired.

I have only given my wife a suppository one time and I used a lubricated bare finger, which is what I use to get her warmed up before we do anal sex. I have never been one to use gloves or have someone use rubber gloves on me when inserting fingers into my ass.

For me it depends on how well you know your mate. If well enough, a glove is not necessary and the contact with the bare finger adds to the whole experience.

Useless to say that on myself I would consider a glove a total waste and a reduction in the pleasure of the insertion

My husband and I never use gloves with each other.

We do use gloves with other people.

I prefer bare finger because it gives me the greatest sensation, but if my partner want's it to be like a legit medical procedure, I'll use a glove.

Being in a committed, long term relationship, we both use bare fingers. Never considered gloves. I prefer the sensations as a giver and a receiver of the bare finger for all sexual activities. My SO loves what I do with my fingers while administering an enema, apply lube or give a prostate massage. The tactile sensations turn me on, as well.

A smooth well fitting lubed non-latex glove for that real MedFet experience.

Recently started hemorrhoid suppositories, find using finger cots much easier for insertion and to get "around the bend" so to speak.

Bare Finger

I just re-read my previous post (15). I'd still use a finger cot for same reasons. There's a suppository "inserter" now that makes it easier. I don't know if nurses use them. I never used one. Times when I was given rectal meds, nurses always wore gloves and inserted deeply and pushed against a side of the rectum to hasten melting. Angie showed me how acetaminophen (Tylenol) for fever can actually work better given by suppository if stomach is rebelling. If a little clogged up "down there," give or take a couple of squeezes from a bulb to help clear so the suppository can work its magic. Nurse's wisdom.

As a child I received them from both my mother and my pediatrician using a finger cot. Today when I receive them from play friends it is with a glove. II would enjoy the finger cot but I haven't seen them in a long time.

There is nothing like feeling a bare finger up your bum hole and also feeling your own bare finger up your partner's bum hole. For me it is all about it!

I've always used bare finger and washed thoroughly with hot soapy water afterwards.

Most drugs will work quicker/ more effectively given in the form of a suppository as they don't have to have acoating to deal with stomach acids etc and and are released quicker into the blood stream.

It's only easy of use that most drugs are taken orally. If I need to take pain relief at work I would sooner pop a tablet then bend over and take suppo in the office with my colleagues.

Charlotte, the standard approach for taking a suppository at work is to sit on a toilet. :-)

When I first posted in this thread I usually used a bare finger, but since then I have actually started using them almost every time because I have started to develop a fetish for them. I never bothered with them before because it really didn't occur to me to use them for solo play, but now since I have, I always use them for suppository insertion (and for play sometimes as well).

I always use gloves. It's cleaner, safer and more fun than a bare finger. Especially when you slowly put it on and let it snap so your patient knows what's coming next. Anzicipation is half the fun.

I've always wondered, despite preferring the bare finger, why don't they make disposable supp. inserters, like the ones for lady's tampons, or a reusable plastic one shaped similar to a large syringe like the lubricant inserters that they sell?

I always use a bare finger on my kids or myself

I use suppository inserters. I found them on Amazon. I also use them because it's fun inserting the suppository. I actually use them quite often because it's erotic to me.

I have never used anything but a bare finger on myself or spouse.

Uknown: Bare finger from a mother is unsurprising, bare finger from a nurse is highly surprising... I'm curious, which country was that?

It depends on what the person I'm giving it to prefers. Personally. I prefer the person giving me one wears a glove.

I'm not well versed with suppositories. Butt conceptually (pun intended!), I would be happy topping the tip with a nice little crown of Vaseline for insertion. By my own bare hand, gloved by another (and on the days I'm being particularly anal (another dumb pun, lol), I'd glove myself first and submit it.

I've wondered if putting the sup in tubing and clenching a while might make for a higher launch inside.

@manncer your post is intriguing about inserters -- that does seem very erotic, and definitely worth checking out. Thanks for the insight!

A bare finger works best, as using a glove could actually cause irritation because of the tolerance between the glove and your finger. Patient also is more aware of the insertion when a bare finger is inserted with the suppository.
