Interested to see what the split is amongst RP forum users since we are all measuring temps but potentially using different methods.

Would you know which if the digital one( under arm) is accurate?
I don't find the mercury ones in my country.

I find with digital thermometers the in ear is better than the under arm. With under arm there is too much variance in placement and timing. I don't think you need a mercury one just as long as you know your temps are going up you don't need to know what they are to more than +-0.1 of a degree (Celsius) which an in ear thermometer will provide.
