Review on IPROVEN® Digital Thermometer - Rectal And Oral With Flexible Tip, 10-Second Read, Fever Alarm, And Hardcase For The Whole Family by Michael Wiley

I bought this thermometer because my 3-year-old hated my old rigid-tipped thermometer. I used this on myself first, and it's very comfortable in the mouth. I am not giving a 5 star review only because it's *very* loud and there does not appear to be a way to shut off or lower the sound. Also note that the directions clearly state that it is not accurate if used for axillary (armpit) temperature, so if that's your preferred method, choose a different model/brand.Edit: First off, I bought this on a recommendation from a nurse friend of mine when I complained about how uncomfortable it is to hold a thermometer in your mouth. She was right! The flexible tip on this is amazing! It's soft, so you can grip it in your teeth without it slipping around, and you can hold it in the exact place you need it without gouging that tender area under your tongue. But I really edited this to say that I don't know why so many people are finding this thermometer to be inaccurate. Perhaps they are not using it correctly? You are supposed to turn it on and wait until the display says "Lo C" or "Lo F" before putting it in your mouth. My nurse friend also says to wait 15 minutes after you eat or drink anything so the temperature in your mouth has not been changed by the food or beverage. Because of the other reviews I saw, I decided to test the accuracy. I have two of the regular "hard tip" thermometers here and I tested all 3 at the same time just to see if they would give the same results and two (including this one) read exactly 98 degrees and one said 98.17, so I think this is pretty accurate, or they're all 3 wrong! Another great feature of this is how fast it is! This makes it great to use on my toddler when she is sick and cranky! I definitely recommend this thermometer.
