The only one I’ve seen and bought is for the ear 👂 and found it at Walmart in the baby department. Other types have not been restocked.

I had ordered from Wyze an ihealth no touch thermometer and received it just the other day. Its GREAT. Very easy to use! I don't understand the comment about using a no touch thermometer on yourself? Why not? Aim it at my forehead and boom, done. Easy.

I'd be happy with just an old-fashioned mercury thermometer, with LARGE PRINT..........

The last two mercury thermometers I had, I broke when I went to shake them down and they slipped out of my fingers because I was weak from running a temp over 20 years ago.  Two separate occasions.

I then got a digital that was near expiration on the battery, but it ran for a good 3 years before it quit.  The next digitals I got either never worked, or only lasted a few months.

I worked at a podiatrist's office at the time, and the girls never felt like the new thermometers were working right.  They seemed to read low on everyone.  We had always been taught that average was 98.6, and my own normal temp was always that.  I could tell I was running a temp at 99 and feeling chilled.

The frustration with thermometers went on for years at the office.

I presently don't have one and would really prefer to go back to a mercury one. I don't trust the ones on amazon, so many bad reviews!  But it is on my list of things I was not able to find during this pandemic and which is very much needed.
