I really wanted to like this flexible tipped baby thermometer. But after trying it out on myself, I find it quite useless. I know that my body temperature is higher then 97.4. I can say it is consistent because I tested 4 times and I got the same reading each time. I tried two ways of testing. I tried putting it under my tongue while turned off and leaving it off for about 6 seconds, then turned it on to test. 97.4. Then I turned it off, turned it back on and put it under my tongue. 97.4. Then I repeated both methods and received the reading of 97.4. When testing with another thermometer minutes later, my temperature was 98.5.
There is no way my temperature went up by over a degree by walking down the hall to get another thermometer. I would not feel comfortable using this product on my child when sick. A full degree difference could be detrimental to their health.
I know my following point has nothing to do with the functioning on this product but when the word Fahrenheit is spelled incorrectly on the box not once but twice, I loose confidence in the product.
I received this product in exchange for an honest & unbiased review.
