## Description

Vicks Baby Rectal Thermometer.

Review: Simply the best - I have been using this thermometer on my twin boys since they were babies. As others reviews state there are a couple of things to be aware of: 1. Wash carefully. This is easy enough to do. We then use an alcohol swab to ensure it's sanitized. 2. Keep spare batteries on hand. It takes SR41. I found this out the hard way. Had to send my husband to a 24 hour pharmacy at 2am. Thankfully he can home with the same thermometer so now we have a back up thermometer AND spare batteries. Nothing worse than your little one having a fever and not knowing if you need to take him or her to the ER 3. Have a water based lubricant on hand. Maybe two tubes in case like me you are adept at misplacing things. It is not OK to use a petroleum based product on a child Pros: It's quick read Accurate, as far as I can tell. Certainly better than the myriad other thermometers I have tried Cannot be inserted too far due to its design which is so reassuring Cons: The shape is a bit awkward to clean After too much time and one very frightening febrile seizure (as a result of NOT having a reliable thermometer on hand) I happened upon this great product. Peace of mind in an area where parents really need it. Can not recommend this thermometer enough. One last thing. I have found a great way to reduce a fever is to bathe my children in a luke warm bath. A cold bath will cause the body to increase its temperature. I did this at 2am (while hubby went to the all night pharmacy! ) just this morning. My son who is now 3.5 thought this was the most amazing treat to have a bath without his twin brother using only a night light :)
Review: Precise and Easy But Don't Get It Wet - Update 5/5/2016: I'm bumping it up to 5 stars because it started working again, and now almost 5 years later the battery finally died. We kept the 2nd one desertcart sent us for our 2nd kid, and it has been working too. So this is a good thermometer, just don't wash it with a faucet, use wipes. Original 8/19/2011: I hated researching for a baby thermometer, spent way too much time on desertcart since all of them have some negative reviews and their is no clear winner. Went with this one anyway. I can say that when it works it is easy to use and precise, in that I got very repeatable measurements going the rectal route (cannot comment on accuracy because I did not compare it to a NIST standard). It is easy to use with a screaming wiggling baby and the beeping lets you know you have your measurement, and that measurement is locked on the display until you turn it off. That is all great. The reason I give this 3 stars is that after two uses the LCD screen filled up with moisture and became unreadable. This was after gently cleaning with soap and water as stated in the instructions. It is a very poor design that water can get in the LCD screen, I mean this is something you stick up your childs rectum, of course it is going to see a little moisture, and I was even being careful having read about this problem in other reviews. Just one simple O-Ring seal and this thermometer would be 5 stars and be the clear desertcart favorite. desertcart is sending me another, which is great, and meanwhile 12 hours later the LCD screen seems to be drying out enough to function. Perhaps I can update this to 4 stars if it salvages itself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommend to ALL friend and family for their babies and toddlers
*by J***R on June 23, 2025*

I’ve used this for both my kids until they were 3-4ish and couldn’t appropriately use an oral thermometer. And even so when they are very sick with high fever I will use it for a good core body temperature read. It is accurate, it is FAST to give a reading which is huge when you have a 2 year old crying and fighting you. The tip is short so even if they squirm or kick it can’t accidentally cause damage by being too deep. I always ALWAYS use surgilube to prevent any friction or soft tissue irritation and for comfort. I recommend this thermometer to every friend and family member that is having a baby.
