Do you carry a rectal thermometer with you?

Do any ladies here carry your rectal thermometer in your handbag? I have a little kit in my bag that has a rectal thermometer, surgilube packets and acephen suppositories. When I'm sick with a fever I have a hard time staying in bed so I carry this with me and monitor my rectal temp and insert fever reducing suppositories while in the restroom.

Although I am a male, there have been times over the years, dependent on what I am doing and where I am at, that I have carried with me a rectal thermometer & fever reducing suppositories also.

G.N.

I have always mine with me if i travel

I actually do have a "go kit" with various equipment for professional use, and I do keep a smaller pack for family travel. When the kids and I go away, a rectal thermometer and some other supplies are indeed standard equipment!

No cant say i do afraid it might fall out or my husband or kids will go in my purse and see it

You can place it in a toot brush container, works very well . I carry one , always looking form some one to allow me to take their temp.

I actually do carry a rectal thermometer with me at all times. Well, not at all times, but I keep a medical bag in my van. It is basically a glorified first aid kit, but there are two things I never leave home without, one is my van because this chick always has to drive, so kits is alway with me, and I don't even own a purse, so it couldn't go there, lol. And the other thing is my phone.

I always keep one in the drawer next to my bed,,,,!,,,,,

I have my glass thermometer stored next to my bed as well.

but if i travel i always have a digital thermometer with me.

I don't normally butt I took one with me to the gym. I wanted to see how warm I got after my hour work out. So I went into a private bathroom, and pulled my pants and undies down, bent over and put it into my rectum. After waiting about three minutes, I took it out, and sure enough my temp waS 101.

We have them at home, but not with us at all times

At home I have got my glass thermometer. Travelling I have got a digital thermometer always with me.

Nothing would turn me on more than to know that a woman had a thermometer in her purse, in case she found herself in a situation where she might need it. I've often fantasized about taking a woman's temp in a public place, like a changing room in a clothing store, a cabana on the beach, etc. I love the idea that there are women out there for whom such a scenario is a possibility. Hats off to you, ladies!

I don't, but my wife does. We have the original slide in container with metal ends and a clip. The springs inside protect the thermometer shaft from damage. We have had some embarrassing questions from TSA as she packs it in a separate case with Vaseline. She deliberately doesn't remove it in her handbag creating an embarrassing search.

I carried mine with me a lot when I still lived at home, out of fear that my mom would find it.

I have one in my nightstand and sometimes take it with me in my purse if I go to sleep over at a friends house.

And Laila, when you take the rectal thermo meter with you, when you sleep over at a friend's home, is that in case of an emergency? Or, for pleasure???

I keep ours in the nightstand next to our bed, just in case 😄 . I love to take my husbands RT but he gets embarrassed when I do. I think he secretly likes it, but doesn't want to admit it!

Kinda makes me think about the story of the nurse who stops by the market after work. She gets into line and the clerk rings her items up. She swipes her card...clerk gives her the receipt to sign....she reaches into the pocket of her scrubs for her pen, but pulls out a rectal thermometer....

"Some asshole has got my pen"

I always have one or two on me at all times. I also keep one on the nightstand, kitchen counter and on the end table in the living room which makes for interesting conversation. I'm always ready!

I always have my rectal thermometer with me in my washbag if i travel. you never now if you catch a cold and you have to take your temp...

No i dont but i just might start 😃

We have one in the car, one in the nightstand, and one in my hubby's office 😉

Yes. I keep one in my travel shaving kit along with a small tube of vaseline.

I keep one my first aid kit and I always bring one when I travel.

No, but it sounds like fun! I guess it would provoke many questions if accidentally found by someone else though...

I've never carried one, but would sure enjoy the conversation that would ensue if I discovered any of my female friends never left home without one in their purse

I'm obviously not female but anyway I don't even carry an oral one. I prefer to wing it.

I'd be concerned about carrying one on a flight, unless it was digital. Glass-mercury, could be hazardous, to everyone around you, and possibly could get you hassled by the TSA. They won't even allow a cigarette lighter on board any longer, even if it's in checked luggage. The TSA folks are generally unprofessional with no people skills, and it seems that they can do whatever they please, at their discretion.

We have sometimes taken a thermometer, along with lubricant and a hairbrush, on holidays.
