What is the difference of this product and taking the body basal temperature every morning with a normal thermometer?

Well.. I bought this a few years ago and I love it. It tracks everything for you. It goes off as an alarm, you take your temperature, while half awake. It will give you a special blinking light when you are your most fertile and when you are clear for no danger of pregnancy. I'm missing a lot of the functions, but there are some great videos on you tube. Also you can order a report at the end of the year to analyze your fertility patterns.

This records it for you, identifies trends, and tells you if it is a red or green day.

You don't have to chart or second guess yourself. After you take your temp, it gives you a red light or a green light. It keeps all the info so you can go back and check past days and it gives a 6 day ahead "guess" to help you plan ahead. My favorite thing is that my husband can't argue with a red light! No more "how sure are you?"

There is no difference other than the LadyComp keeps track of all your temps for you and configures your cycle. Many people track their own cycles, I just thought the LadyComp was genius because I couldn't organize my charts enough to manage my own. This LadyComp helps me out so much! : )

Just a thermometer... I use it in my bearded dragons tanks to know the basking spot temp. I also use this in my Dubia colony to know temp of the container I keep the colony in.

60F. But the attached probe (short wire, tucked behind the unit, which could be extended away from the unit 2 inches at most) reports temperatures that are higher than ambient room temperature, even if I measure it a few inches away from the probe (maybe due to the internal heat of the unit influencing it a bit). So, I typically set the temperature to a little higher than "the temperature I want according to my body-temperature measuring infrared thermometer".

If you touch the area of concern and you find that it is warmer than surrounding areas that could indicate you have a problem. This product is good if your looking for a precise temperature reading. If your looking for a simple all or nothing reading and you expect the temperature difference will be more than 2-3 degrees you can use your hand and just feel for the difference in temp

I would think it will only give you the skin surface temperature rather than replacing a conventional thermometer, but it will give you a reading for sure, I've tried it.

Yeap!:) u can set to the temperature u want, when it hits 2degress before your settled temperature it will sound of an alarm also.

The gel pulls the heat from your body into the cool gel. I found as the gel absorbs the body heat, I move around a bit an dfind a new cool spot. My son took one to the National Boy Scout jamboree in West Virginia this past summer where the temps were very high. He slept comfortabably in all that heat. In answer to your question, gel is just naturally cooler than body temp. Highly recommended item!!

I like this product. Sweating is good without overheating the body. I would recommend this product to others for detoxification.

The top temperature is the "setting"--you turn the dial to place the marker over what temperature you desire. The bottom reading is the actual temperature. If it is not working, make sure you have the right wires hooked up and adjuste for the type of heating system you have.

it is a much sturdier Thermometer. It has a much greater range. It uses a easily obtainable "A" batteries. They are much less expensive than the watch batteries used by the less expensive ones. On the other hand, they both are accurate enough to cook with. If you're careful with the batteries they last a long time.

Hi, Kimberly, when I read your question, I went and got the thermometer and stuck it under my arm, as I had not done an underarm reading on it. To be honest, I had not tried it as an underarm thermometer. It seems to read about 1 degree lower that temp taken by mouth.

The most important difference between this and a non-contact IR thermometer is that once you read a base temperature you can set the device to give a visual representation of any temperature differences. The way it does that is by changing the color of a bright spot of light it projects on the surface you are measuring. That was important to me because I am in the energy conservation business and I can use it to show my customers where cold air is leaking in around doors or windows or where heat is escaping to the outside. The light will go from green to red or from green to blue depending on whether the temperature is going up or down. Nothing beats a visual indication of what is going on and this gives you that. The light registers when you first read a base temperature then when it changes it goes to blue for colder or red for warmer in 1-5-10 degree increments depending on where it is set. Personally I am no fan of Black and Decker products. I avoid them as being cheap foreign made and low quality. However, this thing works for me and I have had it for two years without any problem.

My understanding is that it takes the temperature at the surface of whatever it is you point it at. I use it to test the temp of my coffee in the morning so I don't burn my mouth (140 degrees or lower). You can even temp the pool! It works great!

I haven't noticed a difference. It is not the best smelling product out there. I only use it when my husband is away so might have different results if used daily.

It is not a heart rate monitor per se. So, if you want to know if you are at 140 or 150 beats per minute, this is not for you. This product takes different measurements of your skin temperature and other data from an arm band and makes calculations to figure out how many calories you are burning. One of those factors might be your heart rate, but I'm not sure. By the way I had the blue tooth version of this and the one that connects to a monitor you wear like a watch. That version of this product is much better. It's more reliable and you can tell how many calories you are burning per minute. It is not a heart rate monitor per se.

Yes, normally my body heat warms the bed and should I get up in the night, is still warm when I return. It definitely helps me sleep better and at 71 certainly helps with morning aches.

Early? How early? Were you regular before? I heard that a regular woman shouldn't take this tea as it can throw her cycle out of the whack! Are you taking you BBT? Is a good way to know whats going on with your body..
