I'd like to thank everyone, once again, for joining me for the Momma Findings Health & Safety Expo. Originally, this would take place for the entire month of January, but it is now February 10th and I still have some AMAZING products to showcase and you guys might even get a chance to win a few by the end of the week.

Next up on my list, is the Braun ThermoScan Ear Thermometer. Now, I feel like I keep repeating myself, but I have three small children all ages 6 and under. Do I have to tell you how threatening the Cold & Flu season is for this family? We constantly bring germs home from School, Church, Playplaces, Parks, etc. It's hard to keep such young children healthy.

Since October, the kids thermometer has been working overtime. So, I was ecstatic to receive the Braun ThermoScan to review. My old Braun was ready to call it quits. I bought it at least 5-6 years ago. Do you see a pattern for me? Braun is a brand we can trust for those "middle of the night" fevers and I haven't felt the need to replace it since we've had no reason to until we discovered the new & updated version.

So, first off check out the difference 5-6 years have makes:

Before



After



Yes, folks, this is what I've been using on my children when they get a fever. I am a little ashamed, but not too ashamed because this Braun Thermometer is still holding strong. I've just upgraded and here's why I feel more confident when another fever arises in any of my children:

From the Braun Website:



More accurate
The unique patented pre-warmed tip and the Guidance System of Braun ThermoScan ear thermometers ensure professional accuracy every time.

Added gentleness
Thanks to infra-red technology, the ThermoScan ear thermometer gently takes a temperature in seconds.

ThermoScan - No. 1 among doctors and mothers
Braun ThermoScan is used by more doctor's offices and mothers than any other infra-red thermometer brand worldwide.

As I said before, I've been using Braun ear thermometer's for years now, but this was really impressed me because there are so many improvements to the updated version.

Aside from the look of the actual thermometer, there is a Pre-warmed tip which will help read temperatures more accurately. It also reads the temperature much more quickly than my old one did and has more of a flexible tip. The really cool new feature, that I just LOVE, was the ExacTemp light on the back of the thermometer. The old version didn't have this light so you're just listening for the beep to say it's done. This version has a light that will flash along with the beep once the temp has been read. Along with the light, the screen and numbers are BIGGER! I know that seem so small, but I don't have to squint my eyes anymore to read it and it makes life a whole lot easier.

With so many improvements to be excited about I'd hate to leave out the tried and true features of the thermometer. You still have the disposable lens filters to prevent cross contamination. The lens filter detector is still there to make sure it is securely in place along with the ejector to help remove it without pulling it off. Again, it comes with a cover to protect it while in storage and stores temps in the 8x memory for future reference.

Braun definitely gives me peace of mind in times of fever & sickness. If you haven't upgraded your thermometer, in I'd say..... 5 years, I think it's worth looking into.
