Thermomether used to push suppository deeper into rectum

I must have been 6 or so, I remember my mom taking my temp rectally (which I hated!) using the dreaded diaper position because I was fussing a lot that time, begging her to take My axillary temp instead of in my hiney (in Italy Oral temp aren't common). After removing the thermometer, she raised up my legs again and i saw her taking a suppository (those for fever)...And then taking The thermometer again! I asked her in tears what she was going to do, And she told me that she will just put a suppository like she had done other times before. But this time i felt the tip of the suppository penetrating my little butthole, and then she pushed it using the thermometer! It was like having my temperature taken and the suppository inserted at the same time, and even worse, in the diaper position! I couldn't stop my tears, I begged her "mommy please I don't need to have my temperature taken another time"! "But she immediately took out the thermometer, saying "I know. I used The thermometer to push the suppository in. Now we're done"

I rembember it like it was yesterday.

Did you ever get something like that?

Heh, one of the tricks of the Mommy trade, employing the rectal thermometer to insert a suppository. If my mother thought I needed a suppository that was how she inserted it because she knew I would remain still while the glass rod was inserted in my behind.

Bare to the knees, a regular temperature check.

Naked below the waist, an enema after taking my temperature.

Thermometer left in by pediatrician, a shot in the butt forthcoming.

Nadia, I don't remember getting suppositories pushed in like that BUT I do remember getting my rectal temperature in diaper position by my mom a lot.

My mom never used the thermometer to push suppositories in! Suppositories followed the thermometer up my bottom many times, but were inserted with fingers.

I have never had anything done like that before. I do remember like it was yesterday that my mom took my temperature rectally by laying over my mom's lap during my infant and toddler years.

My Mother used this method to prevent us from expelling the suppository and it worked. We would lay on our stomachs with the thermometer up our bottoms and mom would hold our buttocks together until the suppository melted. I still remember the "burn" from a glycerine suppository and how effective it was at producing a bowel movement.

This has never happened to me but it sounds incredibly fun.

I don't recall anything like that. Mom used her finger. I know, however (because she told me) that when I was an infant she would trigger a bowel movement with the thermometer.

Never tried that.

Considering that thermometers are breakable and relatively pointy, I would use my finger or a suppository inserter if you wanted it deep.

This has happened to me as well, nearly every time I would receive a suppository

Nope never tried that but she used her fingers to shove it in

The back end of a Dulcolax suppository is hollowed out to a point for that exact purpose.

Yes always

I'm with Susie here. You shouldn't be applying much force with a thermometer.

DarkWuff - while it looks that way and might be convenient the real reason there is a conical depression at the base is because of the cooling. The outside solidifies first, then as the entire suppository cools the material shrinks, leading to a depression.

My mom did this to my younger brother when he was young. I think she used it on me to when i was younger. I can't remember anything else then the finger.

I suppose it seems plausible. But I would think, a finger would work better as long as it lubed. They do have suppository inserters that you can purchase with suppositories. They work pretty well. I have used them on a few times.

Nope. never...

I haven't tried that. When giving a suppository, I've always relied on my first finger covered with a cot and lubricant. Better control inserting and positioning the suppository against the rectal wall. What I learned from a nurse who pushed a supp or two into my behind and taught me how the medication takes effect.

I was never in my life giving a suppository. When my mom took my rectal temperature during my infant and toddler years and if I had a fever, my medicine was taken by mouth and no suppositories at all. I do want add that was never given an enema either and I will talk more about that under another thread later.

I’ve never had a suppository before. So no this never happened to me

I have worked in the doctor's offices and in the hospital as well as the endoscopy suite. So I have given many, many suppositories. Have never used anything other than my index finger to insert the suppository well up into the rectum. Now it might make some difference if the patient could not assume the proper position or was very obese. Then again you make sure the patient is positioned properly, apply plenty of lubrication and ask for help if need be but then tell the patient to take a deep breath and with a constant thrust pust in and go as deep as you can. It is all over in like 60 seconds and the suppository is where it needs to be.

Yes, my dad did it sometimes, when I should get one. So he turned the glass thermometer and used the thicker end to push in the suppository quick and deep. Normally I yelled at the moment of inserting and felt that for the following minutes but usually it was not that painful. When my dad used a digital thermometer instead, what happened several times, so he used his finger for the supp. This was quite more uncomfortable because my dad has really thick fingers and he roughly stack it in all its length.

My mom, when she gave me supps, she only brought it into me but let it sliding in. So this burned quite more that way as when I got it in by my father.

I was sometimes groaning but calm most times. My brother nearly always started discussing and crying and pressing cheeks together so the procedure took quite more time, especially when he was 10-14. Sometimes my dad took him over his knees and hold him still so my mom could let it slide in. But sometimes the supp plobbed out do my mom and dad switched positions, my mom hold him and my dad pushed it in with his big finger. You could always hear that moment even in another room, because with entering of the finger my bro screamed very loud.

So I hoped for that every time that my bro got well really quick just not to hear and see him fighting and crying (to be honest I felt that quite more terrible than being ill myself)

One time when my mom got the prescription suppositories from the pharmacy they came with an “applicator” which was a plastic tube with a small cup end for the “bullet”. And a plunger for inserting it. The hole thing was a bit longer than the rectal thermometer she used on me. She kept that gadget and used on me after that.

When I played Dr as an adolescent with my neighbor and best friend 'dave' we used this method for the occasional glycerine or soapstick suppository.

That's a really good idea! :-)

Whether I’m the patient or the doctor, suppositories are ALWAYS deeply and slowly inserted with a bare finger.

A glass thermometer is Very dangerous. Because glass can crack, especially if something else is pushed or exposed to inappropriate intent. I prefer to do it with my finger, because you can fill the state of the patient, and fill his tension or pleasure. Certainly with rubber gloves with the accompanying sound of putting on plackkkkk, or as you describe it.

My mother always used her finger to push the suppository deep into me. And hold it there, spanking me hard with the other hand while I wiggled and protested. As soon as she'd take her finger out, I'd run to the bathroom and expel. After that, the belt came out and the next suppository would go into a very sore, red bottom while I sobbed. She'd hold her finger in me for about 10 minutes and promise me another dose of both if I moved.

Never got suppositories but mom used Ivory soap sticks. It would be pushed in than her finger would go in all the way. It did not take long before the burning started. He finger stayed in till she let me go.
