Temple Touch Thermometer Review And Giveaway (Now Closed)

Thanks to the ReliOn Temple Touch Mini Thermometer I now have a much simpler and quicker way of taking my sons temperature.

templetouchminithermometer

This handy little thermometer utilizes a unique sensor that rapidly samples the heat flowing from the blood vessels to the skin surface and translates it accurately to body temperature.  How rapidly you wonder? Well, try 6-8 seconds.  Operating the Temple Touch is just as quick and only involves 4 small steps:

*Press and release power button

*Wait for unit to beep twice

*Hold firmly to temple, wait for next beep.

*Read results.

If only it had arrived about 2 days sooner it would have been perfect timing.  My son was bit last weekend by what we think was a spider. He wasn’t feeling well and I wanted to keep an eye on his temperature. I pulled out my little kit that I had bought before he was born.  I soon discovered though that it was impossible to keep the digital thermometer under his armpit.  He stood still for approximately a minute and the thing still hadn’t finished registering. In the end I wasn’t able to get an accurate reading and had to rely on my hand.  It was a serious situation but not as serious as it could have been had he been ill with the flu or something worse.

I am completely prepared for the next time now that I have the Temple Touch.  I already tested it out on my son several times and because he only had to sit still for 6 seconds, it was a breeze.

As far as I’m concerned I’ll never use another digital thermometer again.

More About The Temple Touch

The  Temple Touch Mini Thermometer is a little more than 4 1/2 inches big.  It sells for $12.99 on their site (They’re out of stock unfortunately) but I hear that they retail for less than $10 at Wal-Mart. It also comes ready to go with 2 AAA batteries, and best of all.. no tip covers needed!

  4. We use a digital type thermometer but not sure how accurate it is anymore. This would be better as I think it would be easier to use and accurate.

  5. I currently use a digital thermometer. I think temporal thermometers are the most accurate

  6. Well, we use a regular old digital thermometer or my hand (lol).

    That said, I would love to win this for the couple who’s baby I am carrying (surrogacy). 😀

    Thank you!!
