Introduction
##########

We purchased this thermometer from a local pharmacy. Its designed for kids who don't like sticking things in their mouth (or for that matter anywhere else - let not go there!) this is a much simpler alternative for the forehead. So here is my review for it.



The Thermometer
###############

The working of the thermometer is really simple. All you do is take it out of the protective sleeve, put it on the child's head and hold it from the sides. You leave it there for 5 minutes and then take a reading. That's it! The reading is shown as a line on the temperature scale and is very easy to read. We have had ours for nearly a year now and its still working good and strong.



Precision
########

I thought id give this a test, so I put a traditional thermometer in my orifice (my mouth! :- ) and took a reading after 5 minutes, and then did the same with this strip by putting it on my forehead and I was surprised - the results were exactly the same!

So there is no need to worry about getting a false reading from this as its on the external part of the body - it still gives the same result.

Summary: Safe, and fun for kids.
