What type thermometer?

What type thermometer? I find electronic too small, but it is convenient with protective probe covers?

I'm a bit old-fashioned and prefer glass. (they make them without mercury now.) However, you wont find them in Doctor's offices. Everything is digital now.

You can still find glass ones at older doctors offices

Given a choice, I'd like to find one of the ones used in some clinics and hospitals that have a remote digital readout and a wire leading to either a oral or rectal probe. The probe is changeable from oral to rectal. I have seen pictures of them in use and the rectal probe is rather large compared to most other rectal thermometers.

I think it would be interesting to be able to insert the probe and watch the digital readout as it records the temperature.

I have seen them on sale on a few websites, but they run about $ 250, so one of them is out of my price range.

Old fashioned glass and mercury - - rigid, cold, and they take a long time.

Has anyone asked to have a rectal temp instead of the oral the nurse was going to use? What was the response?

For real in the ER, ear type, electronic, quick. Fantasy, rectal.

I kinda agree...in real med situations I prefer digital or aural; but in play or when I'm home sick I generally do glass, occasionally digital if I'm feeling lazy.

Digital is definatley the way to go. They even come with probe covers now, for an easy clean up.

Digital is more accurate.

I prefer the tried and true rectal thermometer .

I prefer a glass rectal thermometer that what I use when I play.

Nowadays, I only find digital in the real doc’s office. But, for play exams, I definitely prefer the old-fashioned glass rectal thermometer. The longer a thermometer is in my butt, the better.

Mostly rectal use.

Welch Allyn electronic thermometer with probe covers is the best.

Geratherm Klassic und Geratherm basal are my lovley Thermometer

Traditional glass rectal of course! But I will say, I did buy a Filac Fastemp a while back and I do enjoy that quite a bit as well. The probe is a bit heavier then the glass, it makes for an interesting feeling. Using the Fastemp on someone else also has a different, yet nice visual aspect to it as well.

I have a vintage glass thermometer that has triangular sides. It feels so good when my doc twirls it slowly as he inserts it in my ass. It sends waves of pleasure up my spine and makes my dick twitch everytime!

I do like the triangular vintage thermometers and as you spin it and pull it in and out it does give a peculiar sensation that can be very stimulating. I like to do a temp first as a anal icebreaker so to speak. Very hot putting it in the first time.

I like longer the thermometer; the better. I am thinking that it was that way when I was an infant and toddler.

The vintage glass thermometer is hard to beat. I'd like to see it improved upon, but I don't know if that's possible. The "feel good" effect depends on the temp. taker, more than the thermometer. When I take it myself it's just not the same.

By the way, what is the difference between a basal and a normal thermometer ?

Various electronic thermometers provide fast result but also have a few flaws. The biggest problem is that, on the average, they can produce inconsistent results. Also, for no apparent reason, over time or all of the sudden, electronic thermometer can lose their calibration without the user realizing it. Since for most consumer type electronic thermometers there is no functionality for re-calibration, the device would have to be discarded and a new one purchased.

The glass thermometer always produces reliable and consistent result. Despite its fragile nature, a less functional person unfit for having a temperature taken in the mouth as the well known alternative is always available for taking a temperature with the type of glass thermometer suited for that purpose.

@Pecan_nutjob Regarding basal vs regular thermometer. Nasal thermometers have a higher level of precision for tracking more nuanced temperature changes that happen during ovulation. There is no structural difference to other thermometers. And they can be used orally, rectally, or vaginally.

Basal thermometers can be used for everyday use, since it’s just a matter of precision - though the scale on a glass one can be harder to read because of higher precision.

Particularly with digital thermometers being the norm now I’m not sure why they have to market separate devices anymore, except perhaps to sell some extra thermometers.

This is a bit off topic butt I have heard that rectal is still used in crime scenes for deceased victims because it can establish a time of death. I think that is about the only scenario it is still used routinely medically.

My experience was always glass mercury thermometers. Those are a thing of the past now at literally any clinic or Dr. office, but they are still iconic. There are so many alternatives now, and require no undressing.

They are a thing of the past. Before long you'll get scanned when you walk in the room and you won't even know it

Rectal mercury thermometer. Can someone send me a url link for a rectal mercury thermometer? All I seem to find on ebay and amazon are the mercury free ones which from my experience don't work.

All the peace and kindness,Megan

@caresabouthealth, try looking under glass mercury thermometers, or glass rectal thermometers. I found a bunch of glass mercury ones on ebay but they were oral.

I just went to ebay and searched, antique rectal thermometer. They are between $10 to 15.

@Breaze Just saw this.😃 Thank you lots girl.
