 Simple and accurate!!! Mar 06, 2006
By D. Kennedy
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!!!

great thermometer Dec 27, 2005
By Cate's mommy
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!

best, fastest rectal on the market Mar 20, 2006
By S. Osborne

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.

Hospital Accurate Aug 12, 2006
By L. Messier
"New Mom"
After 6 straight nights in the ER with our daughter having 104+ fevers we asked the nurse if we could check the accuracy of ours when they took her temp, it was exact. The hospital grade thermometer took longer and gave the same results. The Vicks Baby Rectal Thermometer was even used while she slept and it did not disturb her while we still received an accurate temp for her vital sign check.
Great product and recommend it to all, only wish it was more readily available especially overseas.

 Works great. Loses design points. Jun 27, 2009
By George Antonakos
We bought this after the Red Cross 5 second thermometer. The Vicks works much better--i.e. it works. I probably would have given it 4 stars if I had never used the Red Cross. The Red Cross has a flat base, so that when you set it down the probe is well off the table top. The Vicks rests unsteady on its rounded side so it can shift around and a dirty probe can touch the table or other things.
