As a mother to two small children, nothing pains me worse than one of them waking up in the middle of the night sick. If you have children you know that you have to take little ones temperatures under their arms which takes forever! Especially when they don't feel well and squirm around because of it. Two minutes can seem like an eternity!

I found a solution to my woes in this product! The ComfortFlex takes only approximately fifteen seconds to get an underarm readout accurately within +/- 0.2 degrees F! Which can put a great deal of ease in a parents mind. You can take temperature all three ways with this handy little thermometer: Under the arm (12-15 seconds), under the tongue (10-12 seconds), or rectally (8-10 seconds) for those who choose that unpleasant route!

It also feature a very large color display that doesn't require a magnifying glass, high beam flashlight and reading glasses to see! The color coded backlit screen changes colors depending on the readout: Green if no fever, yellow when the temperature is slightly elevated and a red alert for a high fever. A great feature for those late night call of duty fever checks!

The ComfortFlex is water proof making it easy to wash after each use! There is a memory recall feature which can store your previous readings to help comparisons of weather you or your loved one is getting better or worse without having to remember or write down each temperature that is taken.

There is a lifetime warranty and the battery is easily changed out when necessary making this product a lifetime investment!

We were having such a hard time getting an accurate temp on my little one. We tried the 3 themometers we had and all didnt work correctly. So we went and got this as well. So far I like it. It is the only one that will show he has a fever when I know he does.

Sounds like a good one. I like the underarm feature, the rectal route just doesn't go over well on a toddler.

I like the battery idea. And the color code thing is great to keep from waking baby up in the middle of the night with their bright bedroom lights.

I love that this thermometer is waterproof! Since you can wash it you can save money not having to buy the slip covers.

I realy like this feature : large color display and especially that color coded backlit screen that changes colors depending on the readout: Green if no fever, yellow when the temperature is slightly elevated and a red alert for a high fever. it really makes mothers lives so much easier.
