Fast, Accurate, Easy
I don't have much to add over the other reviews here - but this thermometer is very fast, seems to be much more accurate (readings are consistent over multiple attempts), and our son doesn't even realize what we're doing. We were initially against the 'rectal' route, but that was mostly based on old prejudices against really long, really slow older models (that we grew up with).
This thermometer has a very short probe (no worries about going too far), and he has yet to even notice what we're doing. And it reads in 10 seconds or less, which is great because you're trying to get a temperature when he's screaming and crying. The armpit model we used before took up to 60 seconds, which is an eternity when he's thrashing and you're trying to hold the probe under his (thrashing) arm.
All in all, works fantastic, it's pretty cheap, and we don't have to dread getting a temp!

Finally someone got it right...
It is a fight to take my 16 month old's temperate via rectal reading. Since this method is considered the most accurate I continued the fight. Enter Vick's...this is the best thing ever. It takes the temperature in 10 seconds accurately (I tested it against my tried and true old digital, rectal thermometer), and just as my son was about to protest, it was done. I also love that the bulb prevents overinsertion, which was a concern of mine as my son struggled against having his temp taken.
I plan on giving this as a gift at every future baby shower.

Easy to use
This is the only rectal thermometer that I can use. I tried other thermometers and hated them. I was afraid I was going to insert them too far or it would take forever to get a reading. With this thermometer you do not have to worry about inserting it too far and it gets an accurate reading quickly.

No complaints
Worked as advertised. Baby does not seem to mind it at all.

Won't use anything else.
By far the best thermometer I have ever used. I wish I had had this when my boys were little. I don't even bother with the ear or under arm versions with my little girl - such a waste of time and you always doubt the accuracy. So simple. So fast. There isn't a chance that this thermometer can be inserted too far. EXCELLENT product. I highly recommend this to all my friends.
