Temple Touch Thermometer Review & Giveaway

Posted by: Lizzie

Mom Select - Bringing Companies and Moms Together

Oh my word, it’s almost Fall.  Or what we like to refer to around here as that random week in the year when the leaves change, fall to the ground, and then all the plants are dead for the season!  Now that the boys are back in school, I’m sure they’ll be bringing home all kinds of nasty germs.  Aiden reminds me daily that germs like to hide in the toilet and on our teeth.  I don’t suppose they’ve covered the “in your nose” locations in his classroom, but they will soon; once all the Kindergartners are running around with their noses dripping and sneezing on every touchable surface within their radii.

What I hate most about the cold season is taking temperatures.  I’m glad that Corey and Aiden are old enough to manage holding a digital thermometer under their tongues.  With the younger guys, though, we have to resort to under-the-arm or in the you-know-what.  I’m sure you understand.  When I’m sure there’s a fever brewing and I need a quick temp reading without the hassle of undoing diapers or wrestling with armpits, I am SO glad I have the Temple Touch Thermometer.

mini

MomSelect sent me one of the Temple Touch Mini Thermometers to try out and it’s darn nifty!  I’m pretty sure my husband was more excited to get it than I was.  He immediately ripped open the package and tested it on every available member of the family.  I was even attacked at random with a thermometer pressed to my unwitting temple.

I can’t say that I’m looking forward to my kids getting sick, but if they do, I’m looking forward to being able to use this thermometer.  I’ve done the cheek-to-forehead fever check while a baby sleeps, so this will certainly help out as far as accuracy goes.  Cause who wants to wake up a sleeping baby?

Win it!

I have a Temple Touch Mini Thermometer to give away to one lucky reader.  To enter, just leave me a comment.  Make it interesting!  Why would you like to win this thermometer?  Have you ever had to do the sneaky cheek-to-forehead fever check?

    I would love to win this as we have an under arm thermometre. My son hate having that thing stuck up there, and I’ve heard taking the temperature that way isn’t as accurate.

  20. karenM Says:

    I have 4 kids that don’t like the fuss of having their temps taken, so this thermometer would help out immensely. Plus I like it is a more sanitary way 2 take temps, it don’t go in the mouth

  27. Lisa Says:

    I would love to win one of these! I have three very young kids and I always get so worried when cold & flu season hits. I just hate having sick kids and I think it’s partly because monitoring their temperatures is so difficult! Thanks for the chance to make this part of my winter a little less stressful =).

  28. Shilo Beedy Says:

    I would love this for my two kids since I don’t have a thermometer. I use my hand to check to see if they have a fever. With my daughter going back to school she is going to be bringing home germs.

  29. Mya Brooks Says:

    My 2 boys always want to take off before I’m able to take their temp. 6 seconds is awesome!

  30. Denise B. Says:

    We have the thermometer that takes the temperature in the ear, but it’s really hard to use with small squirming children.

  39. Sarah Hirsch Says:

    yeah, so currently, the way I test for fever is by sticking a hand on my kids’ foreheads. Not very scientific and in fact highly ineffective. I think this thermometer sounds so easy and accurate, our household could really use it on those horrible days when one of us gets sick.

  40. Brittney Says:

    i would like to try it because it is very hard to keep a two year old still long enough to get a reading from traditional thermometers.

  45. Rosey Says:

    I want to win because my toddler doesn’t like to have the digital thermometer reading; especially when he is already annoyed with being sick. And nope, I’ve never done the sneaky check. :)

  46. petal Says:

    Every mommy knows that it is worrying and trying enough to see your child sick. Add to that the crying and fussing from a wee one who does not want the intrusiveness of standard thermometers and an exhausted parent in the middle of the night and you wish there was a simpler way to monitor a fever. I am a mom of 4 and I could hug the inventor of this thermometer! I would love to own one. Good luck to all the mommies and good health to your little children.

  47. wendy wallach Says:

    I do the cheek to cheek sneak thing all the time as well as the rub the back and feel for heat from skin as well! I would like to win this because with the swine flu currently becoming pandemic, an accurate temperature will be very important to monitor health.

  70. Maggie Mata Says:

    I have yet to have a pleasant experience with a thermometer. I had two that always read different temps. I finally bought 2 more that seemed to do the job, but when we moved I lost them. They have yet to turn up. I purchased a store brand that died after 1 month. This would really come in handy. Great giveaway. oh, and yes, I have had to do cheek to forehead check.

  71. Priscilla Pursell Says:

    I am a Granny to 5 sweet children age 8 and under. I do help Mom and Dad out when the Kiddies get sick. That way Mom and Dad don’t use up all their sick days. This would be very helpful. Thank you for the contest.

  72. Kate Says:

    Right now I’m a poor grad student so I use hand-to-the-forehead method. I could really use this!

  73. chastidy Says:

    Id love to have this my boys scream knowing the thermometer is going……….. under their arm. Thanks :)

  77. Katherine Dunn Says:

    I would love to win this as my daughter is currently sick with the flu….we were told to watch her temp to see if we need to take her to the ER and I am worried the mouth thermometer is not working properly. For a 4 year old..I don’t think she is putting it under her tongue all the way and I am worried about incorrect readings. In an emergency high fever situation, I don’t feel comfortable with this. However the other thermometers at the store are too expensive and I can’t afford one right now.

    I would love to have this. Even with a teen, when they don’t feel good, they just don’t want to hold a thermometer in their mouth. This would be much better and you could let them continue to sleep/rest while you take their temp.

  81. Birdie Says:

    even though my baby grandson hasn’t been sick yet, he has two older sisters they all three would do better & more accurate readings with this Therm.

    I’d love to win this because it would be such an upgrade from the unreliable thermometer we use now! I always end up taking my daughter’s temperature a bunch of times and sort of averaging the results… I’m sure that’s not what’s supposed to be done!

  121. Gianna Says:
