5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and accurate!!!, March 6, 2006

I have other thermometers that I was using until one day they gave a normal reading and my daughter was burning up and I knew she had a fever. I used this thermometer, which confirmed that she did have a fever... so easy to use. Just put some vaseline on the end and you can not insert it too far. I think the package actually says it takes longer to get a reading than it really does... it was very fast! I have no problem buying more expensive products when they work, but don't waste your money on $50 thermometers... they are not accurate! This one is great and the doctors want you to take a rectal reading anyway!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars great thermometer, December 27, 2005

This review is from: Vicks Baby Rectal Thermometer (Health and Beauty)

I own this thermometer, the braun ear thermometer and a safety first thermometer. This one is by far the best. It is the perfect size and fit in your hand, and there is like no chance of inserting it too far. It gives a quick accurate reading and really just works so good. the safety first one works but is long and skinny, alittle scary putting in a babies behind! Ane I have to be honest I have never used the ear thermometer because generally the DR. wants a rectal because it is the most accurate and they say the ear thermometers are really hard to use, so I wouldn't recommend wasting the money on it. Get this one, you won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars best, fastest rectal on the market, March 20, 2006

This is the best, fastest rectal thermometer on the market. It's accurate, safe (you literally can't insert it too far), and VERY fast. I've used five other rectal thermometers, some of which cost much more than this one, and I have to say that this one is the best. Look no further.
