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!!!

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!

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.

SIMPLE, BREEZE TO USE, ACCURATE
The best thing about this thermometer is you know exactly how far to insert the tip. This will give you a peace of mind that you are not hurting the baby. Read more

Works well
Works well. Looks cute. My only complaint is the fact that it goes in a rectum. I get that's the best way for babies but still... I would recommend.

Amazing
Don't even think about getting any other thermometer for baby. Ok, get one for the ear so you can take a temperature without undressing. Read more

Disappointing...
Our pediatrician said rectal temperature was the only trusted way for accuracy, and this did a good job for the first 5 uses, then it failed and wouldn't work anymore. Read more

Disappointed
We basically paid a $1 for each time we used this before an error message appeared. Yup, we used it all of 10 times. Maybe we just ended up with a bad one.
