Pre-lube vs lubed thermometer

This question is addressed to all those who enjoy giving and receiving rectal thermometers. Do you prefer to get pre-lubed with a finger prior to insertion, or do you prefer feeling a pre-lubed thermometer tip spreading the lubrication at the time of insertion. For those who prefer pre lubrication, do you want the lubrication just applied externally, or do you prefer the lubrication to be also internally applied. Please explain your reasoning for your choices.

I like a lubed finger first before anything is inserted.

It's a much smoother insertion that way.

I like being pre-lubed with finger and also a lubed thermometer. Just watching the process of lubing both prior to being lubed myself is provides an anticipation that results in the start of arousal. Denise

Definitely a pre-luber here, both as a receiver and giver. Slippin’ and a slidin’ has always been my thrill. Great way to start any activity back there.

Always got the pre lube for temps and enemas😃 never for suppositories though?

As a child I always had the outside of my anus prelubed. I always found this part to be particularly embarrassing because it was done either in the diaper position or bent over. Now it’s what I prefer.

Interesting question. I learned later in life about rectal temps and don't have any memories of it being done to me when i was younger. I have always done it with the thermometer lubed up and when i've had it done to me in play sessions, have had it done that way.

I do like the idea of a bit of pre-lubing with the finger for some extra stimulation back there. Might have to try it out some time.

My husband and i take each other's temperatures the way the 5 of us got it from mom. She would Vaseline the thermometer, spread our bottom cheeks apart, and insert the rectal thermometer!

I've only experienced a lubed thermometer. Is there a major difference? Maybe a lubed anus is less messy.

A lubes anus is MORE messy. With a lubed thermometer, you just aim the lubed tip for the anus. With a lubed anus/anal canal, more lube is spread around. That's why the insertion is smoother.

I like a lubed thermometer. After taking my rectal temperature on myself, I like it lubed. Now I see why thermometers are lubed before it gets inserted for rectal temperatures. I goes in smoothly and easy.

I in a regular Dr. only had thermometer lived but did have a play exam where I got pre lived. did not see it coming but was sort of a turn on prior to temp

I prefer a pre-lubed thermometer tip - putting a small amount of Vaseline on. Just because that was how my parents did when I was young and that was how I was told as well when I was old enough to check my rectal temperature by my self.

For ease of insertion and safety, lubrication. Whether pre-lubed thermometer or lube applied with a finger or say, tissue doesn't seem to be too big an issue.

Growing up, mom would just lube the thermometer. My experience with nurse or doctor visits was evenly split either the thermom or my anus. Now, my doctor's nurse does both but only dabs the anus before inserting. I think this is what I prefer as well.

Deeply pre-lubing the anus can be a wonderfully intimate and enjoyable activity.

Many times, I use no lube at all. I sometimes prefer to feel the friction of the thermometer against my anus. It also will stay put better. As a kid, I didn't use Vaseline except rarely.

I always got prelubed with an inserted finger and a dollap of petroleum jelly. That’s still the way I like it. Definitely more stimulating.

Pre-lube with finger and lube a little of thermometer to relax bum.

I like to have the doctor pre-lube my anus and rectum.

I enjoy it when the thermometer is lubed. Usually vaseline - but waterbased lubricin is fine by me aswell. I like the feeling when the thermometer easely can be inserted.

For play times, I hope for a pre-lube with a Vaselined finger or two. Take your time!!

If actually ill, no playing around, lube the tip and let's find out if I've got a fever.

I am now using a Lube Shooter, and the ladies who have experienced it, just love it.

After I have injected the lube I will insert my finger to insure the rectum is well lubricated.

The point is to use your finger before anything else is inserted.

The lube shooter is fine for adding more lube but doesn't accomplish the same thing as a finger first.

Both actually feel good. A little lubed finger up the butt and lubed thermometer.

I imagine that if I were playing with someone in person, I would like a finger with lube first. Perhaps gently, almost teasing until it finds passage into me, and then the rest of the finger swiftly to make me gasp.

While playing online and taking instructions, I prefer for the thermometer to have lube on it and for this to be the first penetration.

No just lube the Rectal thermometer only for me.

Usually just lube the tip of the thermometer.

In my case, lubricating the bulb of the thermometer is how I prep for taking my rectal temperature. Since my fetish involves recreating my experiences as a kid, tI am taking it the way it was done to me back then.

Always just had the thermometer lubed... Vaseline I think as a kid. I remember hearing my mom preparing the thermometer on the bathroom sink before coming into my room
