  • Easy to use, and because of the shape/size, you can be sure you are not hurting the baby. Jan 26, 2021

  • Hands down best baby rectal thermometer! Always got accurate reading, and the small tip is less uncomfortable. The screen lights up for nighttime temps. Sadly, I can’t find them in stores lately! Dec 18, 2020

  • You're sticking that where? Oh my gosh, love this. It's the perfect size so you're not nervous about sticking too much :o Nov 14, 2020

  • Works like a charm for infants. Apr 20, 2020

  • A medicine cabinet staple. Comes with a cap to cover the business end. Feb 06, 2020

    Seemed to work well! Jan 03, 2020

  • Cheap and gets the job done. Sep 14, 2019

  • Quick read, easy to use, and at a great price point! Dec 21, 2018

  • Inexpensive and reliable for checking babies temperature. Also love that it’s so compact and easy to store! Oct 28, 2018

  • I love this rectal thermometer because it reads the temperature pretty fast. I've had other ones that take so long to take the reading and it's so annoying. Pretty accurate readings as well Oct 20, 2018

  • I have this and like it. It worked well for us. It is accurate and easy to use. No complaints here. Oct 15, 2018

  • I love how quick and easy this is to use. I also love being able to tell the doctor a more accurate temperature if my baby is sick. Aug 13, 2018

  • Baby doesn't mind it and you can't stick it in too far due to the design. Jul 10, 2018

    This was recommended to me by a nurse. It is easy to use and is accurate. I’ve had to use it a few times, baby doesn’t even notice. The rectal thermometer is a necessity! Jun 03, 2018

  • So accurate. It’s easier to use than I thought it would be. It’s fast too because you don’t want to be in “there” for too long. Apr 21, 2018

  • Gives a fast reading. Great for newborns but not easy to use once baby becomes mobile. Mar 21, 2018

    While any thermometer will do a rectal, this makes it seem less scary, and has a quick 10 second read feature. Just make sure to use a little lubricant when taking the temp. Mar 11, 2018

  • Easy to use, and beeps when the temperature reading is finished. Comes with a protective cover. All parents of infants need a simple rectal thermometer in their toolbox and this one is a good choice. Jan 07, 2018

    Must have for accurate infant and young toddler temperature readings Nov 09, 2017

  • That's very quick to use and accurate Nov 09, 2017

  • The most accurate way to check a temperature! Oct 26, 2017

  • Great size and easy to use! Oct 18, 2017

  • don't know what I would do with out this. I was so nervous to take the baby's temp rectally but this truly was painless and baby didn't even seem to notice. Quick, accurate results. Oct 05, 2017

    If i can give one product 10/10 it would def be this one. i used 3 other rectal thermometers none were as fast or accurate. Love this to measure my baby's temperature Aug 21, 2017

  • You need this! Most accurate thermometer! Mar 12, 2017

    I bought this one because I seen it was so small and hated doing rectal temp check. But its so small and i feel like i won't hurt him. Mar 11, 2017

  • It's great to get and easy and safe reading when your little one is sick! Feb 09, 2017

  • Inexpensive, no frills, easy to use - exactly what you need for a newborn to get the most accurate temperature (it's what the doctor's office will use!). Feb 08, 2017

  • This was a nice little thermometer to have. The short length made me feel like I had more control while my son wiggled. Dec 27, 2016

  • Works just as intended, and a great length for little one and good while she is still young. Dec 14, 2016

  • Accurate, reliable, easy to keep clean. A no brainer! Dec 06, 2016
