Product Reviews of Vicks Baby Rectal Thermometer

Product Review: EASY TO USE, HOLD, AND TRAVEL WITH
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a keeper! As a first-time mommy, this was so easy to use; while diaper-changing I checked temp just before closing diaper and baby was fine. No discomfort at all. I love the flexibility of the blue part after the tip, especially on a newborn. Instructions are easy to follow. Haven't had a problem so definitely happy with this product and do recommened!

Product Review: Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the only rectal thermometer that I can use. I tried other thermometers and hated them. I was afraid I was going to insert them too far or it would take forever to get a reading. With this thermometer you do not have to worry about inserting it too far and it gets an accurate reading quickly.

Product Review: Easy, fast, accurate- great for nervous parents
Summary: 5 Stars

After our daughter was born, I discovered that the things I had worried about before she was born fit into three categories: a) this is a big deal that you didn't even know you'd have to worry about b) yes, this is a big deal and c) no, this is so not a big deal.

One of the worries in category c was "taking a rectal temperature." This was something I was dreading, and other people will pay lots of money for thermometers that will get you an accurate reading without sticking anything up your child's butt. The Vicks thermometer may be more expensive than other digital thermometers out there, but it is cheaper than those temporal artery thermometers, and it makes taking your child's temperature no big deal.

Initially, I thought that the biggest pro to this thermometer was its design, which makes it impossible to stick the thermometer in too far, even when you have a wiggly older baby who will not stay still. But recently, our daughter was sick and we needed to take her temperature, only to discover that we misplaced our Vicks thermometer and had to use a regular digital one. Only then did I appreciate how FAST you get a reading with the Vicks. It is so much faster than a regular thermometer. I did not realize how important this would be, but it is. Especially if your baby is old enough to get bored and not want to stay still.

I now buy this for my new mom friends, because it's something they don't realize they'll need. We are buying a new one to replace the one we can't find, but even if/when we find it, having 2 is helpful, so we don't have to use regular thermometers again.

Product Review: Excellent!

I'm a first time Mom, and as you can imagine, I was terrified to take my baby's temperature rectally but this product makes it so easy. It's made so you can't put it in too far. It's fast and accurate too.
