Mercury or digital?

Digital Seikuve SV-15

Mercury for us. I want to have to take my time reading the thermometer.

Mercury.. Or Geratherm, (or however it's spelled), although the hospital digital with the red probe held up with a shiny blob of KY on the tip can help create that med fet atmosphere...

I prefer digital now I have a hard time reading a glass thermometer.

I am honestly enjoying both, but I grew up with a digital one

I am a fan of the glass one. But use digital too.

Unless you really cannot find a glass one... otherwise ALWAYS mercury!!!

I have had both but I do love the glass more. It is what I had as a child and there is nothing like having the glass rod in you bottom for 3 to 5 minutes.

Absolutly mercury. Nothing beats the feeling of that cold glass. We do have both, but for playtime it is always the glass thermometer.

A mercury glass, vintage thick thermometer with etchings and a large, pear-shaped bulb, is the Cadillac of thermometers. Technology only moved rectal temperature taking from slow and enjoyable, (at least for some of us), to quick, convenient, safer, and .....boring ! However, for those who absolutely hate to have their temperature taken, then the digital technology is a blessing.

I prefer the mercury, for once it is thicker I think and it reminds me of my childhood experiences..

Both

Always used digital but glass is definitely more appealing

My family only use glass thermometer.

Hmmm I think both has their advantages. I like my hospital grade rectal thermometer if I am going digital mainly for a hospital exam role play however for use when sick or certain role play scenes I use a good old fashioned glass thermometer. Why mess with accuracy and the best method.

The old mercury thermometers are so old-school -- and that's a good thing. I love pushing it in (or having it pushed in.) They also require more patience, and waiting can be excruciatingly naughty!!!

Prefer mercury.

I like if she puts it in a glass of cold water beforehand then leaves it next to the bed along with the jar of Vaseline. The moment I see that on the bedside table my stomach clenches up and my skin all gets tingly in anticipation. Cause I know that as of that moment she is in charge and I must do as she instructs and that soon she’ll be turning me onto my tummy and baring my bottom and pulling my cheeks open and that I’m really going to feel it when that cold glass thermometer touches and enters my anus.

Digital isn’t the same.

I have had either the glass type or the one with a cord used for my exams. Digital feels different for sure. I prefer the other types.

I am old school. I was raised with mercury based thermometers and the were label “rectal”. While they take longer to register, they are what I would call the “gold standard” of thermometers, so they are my standard. Tough to find these days.

Amazon or farm and veterinarian supply stores have them try eBay also.

Definitely mercury

My preference between these two is mercury. I have a great little glass thermometer that actually says "rectal" on the glass, so there's no confusion on how it should be used 😃 But I also found a cool glass thermometer on Amazon that uses "red spirit," a petroleum-based liquid with red dye that is easier to watch rise while it's in someone's bottom.

That said, I did recently get a Kinsa digital thermometer, which lets you keep track of temperatures through an app for however many people you want. When you set it up, it asks if you want to monitor the temperature through oral or rectal means. Then when it records your (or whoever's) temperature on the app, it stores what the app calls the "rectal reading" on a list, which is pretty wild.

My preference is always going to be the glass mercury rectal thermometer that has the stubby glass bulb. I have one in my medicine chest now, left over from my children back when they were babies.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both the glass (mercury-fill) thermometers and electronic thermometers collectively. The advantages of electronic thermometers are mostly economic when used at a clinical setting because the results are obtained instantly as opposed to taking several minutes for a glass thermometer to register but the environmental concern should mercury vapor escape from a broken glass thermometer does provide further justification for the use of an electronic thermometer. The problem with electronic thermometers, unlike a glass thermometer that provides dependable results, is that over time or when an electronic thermometer is dropped on the floor, the device may lose its calibration which can lead to uncertainty about a reading. However, these days a close reading is good enough.

Without hearing that snapping wrist of the thermometer being shaken down, how would one get the whole experience? “The waiting is the hardest part,” and also the best part. Remaining still while exposed and penetrated for minutes, not seconds, makes the experience what it is, and what it’s supposed to be.

Mercury is definitely my choice. I’m an analog guy, not digital.

My girlfriend and I have been long time rectal temperature fans and we check our rectal temperature every time we have sex.

We prefer old glass mercury thermometers like the one our mothers used to take our rectal temperature with.

Of course, when we decide to have sex with thermometers inserted in our asses, then it's safety first and we use small digital plastic thermometer. We don't want to end up in emergency room with a broken thermometer up the ass.

Definitely a preference for mercury or even the newer ger-a-therms. Main reasons being the ritual of shaking down and also the longer time to register vs digital thermometers.

I prefer a mercury thermometer. It’s about enjoying the experience, not speeding up the measurement.

Geratherm does the job well

Definitely Mercury. I love the cold feeling and how it gets warmer as it registers . Also the shape feels better inside me than a digital one. And also the shaking down is part if the fun. And finally it takes longer to register and does not beep....
