Does what it's supposed to do

I purchased this thermometer to (of course) track my temperature throughout my cycle and see when I am ovulating. The first thermometer I received from Amazon didn't turn on at all. I replaced the battery (ridiculous since it was brand new, but I tried it anyway). It turned on, but would not do...

Reading Discrepancies

Because I am a little high strung when it comes to accuracy when taking my temperature, I tested this thermometer by measuring my temperature on both sides of my mouth -- every day. Fortunately, when I ovulate my temperature jumps SIGNIFICANTLY, so I am sure when there has been a change. But for...

infuriating

I am buying a new thermometer--I HATE this one. Here's why:1)It gets stuck in its case. Then, when I try to pull it out, the "button" cover comes off and exposes the electrical parts and then it won't work that time.2)It doesn't have a light so I have to fiddle around with a flashlight to read...

Frustrating

This basal temp taker is a definite NO. It does not save the last temp. So, when you are taking your temp a 6:30am everyday and you have to go to the ladies room but you need to wait until you temp is taken and you are trying not to wake your husband., its hard to remember to take the...

Frustrated

I have used a BD Basal Thermometer, but lost it. So I got the Vicks one to replace it. I am frustrated that it doesn't save the last temperature - so I have to read it in that bleary eyed half sleep each morning with a flash light. I am tempted to buy a new BD thermometer, cause this one is a...

Needs to be backlit.

This thermometer has some good points - it is soft, and contrary to the other reviews, it does have a memory for the last temperature taken (to see the previous temperature, press the on button continuously for a few seconds).However, I am extremely frustrated with the thermometer because I can...

This thermometer is lacking important features

I like this thermometer for its shape and because the tip is flexible, thus making it the most comfortable to use.This thermometer seems to be very accurate, although I have to round the numbers to 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit, in order to record them in any chart I encountered. It might be TOO...

Good, but could be better

I love the fact that this is a soft thermometer - it is so easy to keep it in place, especially when you could easily fall back to sleep! I do wish that the following things could be either fixed or added:1) The battery cap is right at the end of the thermometer that sticks out, so if it is...
