Anal thermometers are the best… if lubed up properly. Because they go deepest in the body, they give the most accurate reading. However, they are the most “violating.”

Oral thermometers are the next best, but they can be innacurate because not only are the not very deep in the body, moving them can cause an innacurate reading.

I think ear thermometers come next, then axillary thermometers.
