The armpit ones take far too long and I have returned three other ear themometers for not being even close to his rectal temps. I can say that this themometer, so far (had it a week now and both kids are battling viruses) is always within .2 of their rectal temps."
"Great product, I never have to guess that perhaps I or my husband has a fever."
"I replaced a Braun 6022 with the Kinsa."
"The only thing I would change about this is the design, it's a little bulky compared to other thermometers but then again, other thermometers aren't as cool and high tech as this one."
"Pairing the thermometer to the app was easy and I love how you can create a profile for everyone in your family."
"Super easy to connect and I love that you can make profiles for different people when taking temperatures to monitor it."
"Gone are the days of running after my daughter who refuses to let me get an underarm measurement or swipe across her forehead."
"I've shown my sister the app and she was amazed at the feedback and guidance that the app was providing, as well as the separate profiles, which will be useful for her to use for her 2 kids."

"They are large enough to where one could cover most of my lower back area with the center over the spine but I like to use 2; one on each side of the spine."
"Just ok, not bad, not good , I expected better, but tried at the price one time."
"not as strong as 2 individual patches."
"So much better then the small 2x2 electrodes."
"I usually purchase the 2x2's and have tried other oval patches in a larger size only to discover that they were impossible to apply to my back without getting someone else to do it."
"Love this large Electrode for my new TENS unit."
"The quality is excellent and they work great., I am extremely pleased and will continue to come back to this company for future orders."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Our friend actually recommended the Kinsa Smart Thermometer to us and we are so happy he did. It has a bubble popping game while you're waiting for the temperature to read, which is under a minute and a great distraction for squirmy toddlers. The profiles has Sesame Street characters and my daughter loves it when Elmo talks to her."
"According to my last 5 digital thermometers (oral and ear type), I'm in a constant state of hypothermia and should be dead with a temperature of 94 to 95 F. I've had constant problems with digital thermometers- the biggest issue is that I get readings that are artificially low and undependable, plus the batteries are always dead when I need a thermometer the most. I took him right away to the doctor anyway because he seemed so ill and was stunned to learn his fever was actually 104.5 F. A traditional oral thermometer works, but it takes too long to get a reading when you have a sick kid, plus it's hard for me to see the temperature (especially at night) as I'm getting more far sighted. Kinsa is fully compatible and gives a fast, accurate reading that's easy to see on my iPhone display. I suggest getting it set up for each household member (it can keep track of multiple people) before someone gets sick as setup takes a few minutes."
"It also has an adult feature if you’re less inclined to pop bubbles and hear Elmo lol personally I don’t mind Elmo or the bubbles lol."
"It stores patient history too which is great for multiple sick kids so you can look back and whose temperature you took, and at what time."
"Accurate temperature reading."
"Husband loves the capability to store the information in the app so you can show doctors about the temperature."
"Follow the instructions, download their app and create your families profiles."
"We went back to using the free thermometer given to us when my son was born."

"To extend the life of the electrode, be sure to put it back on the plastic film and reseal the ziplock bag."
"When I remove the electrodes, I moisten the gel part a little, then place them sticky side down on a piece of clear plastic--the electrodes and plastic thast they stick to slide into the zip-lock type bag for storage."

"As a long time sufferer with chronic pain in the knees, I have found the use of TENS units to be a drug free choice for pain relief, and the problem for me has been getting electrodes to fit and STAY PUT in the areas needed."

Find Best Price at Amazon"When I am finished using the pads, I apply a small amount of the gel to the pads backing sheet and spread it out with the pad itself. In between needing to reapply the gel, after each session with the pads I simply put a few drops of water on the electrode pad backing sheet, then set the pads in place and put them in the ziplock bag."
"It will leave a ton of sticky residue on your skin when you take off the electrode. Then after a couple of days it will be set and won't leave much of a residue on your skin when you remove the electrode. I highly recommend it to those who want to continue to use an electrode(s) that otherwise works fine except it lost it's stickiness."
"I would suggest ordering a package of extra electrodes since the ones supplied will need replacing after several uses...besides..they're inexpensive !"
"Great adhesive that really works on more than one application....I apply to a non-sticky electrode & I take it off, the glue on my body is minor & washes right off but the next time I go to use the electrode, it is still sticky from the previous application."
"Take them old pads and put a dab (tiny amount) and it will stick like or better than new."
"I bought this to help adhere the tens pad to my knees, and give it the tackiness that it needed."
"Gets the pads very sticky."
"I do not find that this gel makes any difference whatsoever in the adherence of the electro pads."
