Question for the SUB Club

Hello all....

I am writing this question due to I don't have a thermometer that will measure the temperature which should be "room temperature". The only thing I have to use right now is a baby thermometer, which does not register below 90 degrees.

I am practicing with water doing the sub thing (female version of insertion). I have less then 2 weeks to master this if I am going to use it. I am wondering what the "average" time frame for the temp to get to room temperature from the fridge and/or from room temperature to passing temperature of the body. If someone can help give me a ball park figure I would appreciate it. Is there a particular rate of degrees increase for each minute like there is when the urine cools down. Any and all suggestions about getting temps right would be appreciated.

On the day of test I will be thawing out a sample of my own diluted "clean" urine and using that. I'm still practicing, reading and trying to figure this out as I go along.

Get a digital kitchen/cooking thermometer. They go from like -32 to 270 degrees and they can help you cook a wonderful medium rare prime rib roast. Oh so yummy! Overcooked meat is a problem destroying the world these days.

From room temp to 90-100 I would guess around 30-45 minutes and from refrigerator to 90-100 in about 45- 60 maybe 70 minutes. It's not hard to learn and if you need the entire 2 weeks to perfect it, maybe you should just give up now! :D Frozen in about 90-120 minutes but I don't recommend that especially where you are hiding it.

If its at room temp and about 2 ounces, nuke it in the microwave for 10 seconds and it should be close to body temp.

HA HA FBR....

You are right....if I haven't figured it out by then I should quit.

What I am doing is taking this next 10 days or so to practice, practice, practice in hopes that I feel TOTALLY confident so that my nerves don't wreck me. Other then the temp thing with the wrong thermometer, I am practicing ways to poke the foil of the tube inserted (using that for my seal) and not causing a sound. Something about bathrooms cause sounds to echo.

Hello FBR and others....

I think I found something that will help me. It's a wonder to all you can find when you start to think outside the box. I've been thinking of ways to find a steady temp to keep my urine warm enough. I personally sleep in a bed with an electric blanket. I happen to be looking outside my back door on this cold snowy day and happen to see the outside thermometer. Then an out of the box thought hit me....why not see how warm my bed is with the electric blanket on high??? Well....I brought the thermometer in and placed it under my pillow with the blanket on high. The temp went up to 102 degrees. Maybe...just maybe...once I have my urine thawed (from sitting in a warm cup of water) I can place it under my pillow until desire time to insert and drive to test. I would like to hear others opinons on this ideal. Fortunately I only live a mile from where I go to get tested.

I do have another question.....at what level in temps would it be consider too hot for urine prior to cooling down? Or is there? Also, would I be able to keep the urine under the pillow at that temp for a couple of hours max without affecting it if needed?
