Vicks Wearable Thermometers, 6 thermometers

We liked these but they were a little hard to read. You have to look at the small dots and differentiate betweek black and very dark green.

Having just come back from the ER after having used this product to check my son's temperature. There is WAY too much room for error and as one of the commenters said - the temperature you read will be relative to the actual temperature of your child - meaning, internal (rectal) vs this reading will be off. You would hope that it would be off by maybe less than a degree as specified on the package... BUT in my case, it was off by a good 5 degrees. My son ended up having a febrile seizure (convulsions with fever) as a result of my not responding strongly enough to his temperature. Meaning, I gave him a fever reducer but did not call the doctor to follow up when his temperature remained high.This product needs to come with a warning AND it should have some sort of 'conversion chart' to tell you what the actual temperature would be. Also, the instructions are general and with a small child, there may not be enough surface area available to properly place the product. So there is too much room for error to make the types of claims that are on the package.Claims are as follows:"Professional Accuracy" - I think not as reasoned above"Pediatrician Approved" - The nurse in the pediatric ER promptly took it off and told me they never work"Ages Birth+" - The smaller the child, the more inaccuracy due to lack of surface area under the armpit given the size of the stickerNormal axillary temperature range as listed on the back of the box is "97-98.6 deg F"... the erroneous reading I read was 97.6 deg F when actually his internal temperature was possibly 100-104 (104F causes the seizure).It claims to be +/- 0.2deg F accurate. If this is to the axillary temperature... wrong again.. this was about 3 or more degrees off.DO NOT RISK YOUR CHILDS HEALTH WITH THIS PRODUCT.

My son (2 years old) would just peel these off before I could get a reading. Also hard to tell where the dots are lit up(when used on myself).

They're quite accurate but the adhesive wears out way before 48 hours & it doesn't stay on during a bath.

I really wanted to see it. It is unique idea but I did not tested yet. Being a single use and disposable, it is not worth the price in comparison to other thermometers. I can see this product as part of a travel kit.

Who really wants to try to hold a thermometer in a sick baby's mouth (or the other end)? I like how easy these are to use: just stick on the baby's armpit and use for a couple of days to check her temperature whenever you need to. You don't need a new one each time you want a temperature reading. They do require a bright light to read but are accurate to 1 decimal place (Fahrenheit), giving readings within 0.2 degrees of my digital thermometer.

The concept is great, however, the product does not work.I followed the directions and placed this on my son. His temperature with a real thermometer was 101. The Vicks Wearable thermometer read 94 degrees. I kept it on him all day and even placed one on myself to see if I would get different results. I didn't. 94 degrees is the highest temperature reading I would get. I would love for these to work. My son absolutely hates having his temperature taken. Unfortunately, this was just a disappointment. I won't buy anymore.

These were difficult to read.
