How to wear your Tempdrop
To wear your Tempdrop for the most accurate reading and comfortable experience, make sure to:
- Wear the sensor over the axillary artery area just below the armpit.
- Position it correctly by flexing your arm. Feel around for the soft skin, and position the sensor between the bicep and tricep muscles.
- Wear it with the pointy part of the Tempdrop pointing towards your elbow, with the metal sensor touching your skin

Maximum comfort: wearing the armband
The Tempdrop armband can be adjusted so that it’s the most comfortable.
For maximum comfort and accurate results, when adjusting the Tempdrop armband make sure to:
- Tighten it so that it’s firm against your skin and won’t move around or slip during the night
- Ensure it’s not too tight that it’s causing discomfort on your skin
- Use the adjustment hooks on your band to find your best size
- For easiest use, you can slide it on and off, instead of undoing the hooks each day
- Slide it off gently to avoid the elastic stretching too much over time
- If you notice some natural relaxing of the elastic over time, tighten the armband to mantain firmness to the skin
How does Tempdrop work?
The Tempdrop is a wearable thermometer that is worn just under the armpit.
It is designed to help you get an accurate basal body temperature (BBT) reading for ovulation tracking and fertility charting.
When tracking BBT with an oral thermometer, you’d usually have to have 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. You also need to take your oral BBT at the exact same time every day in order to get a reliable reading.
But many people don’t have regular sleep schedules.
TEMPDROP TO THE RESCUE!
The Tempdrop thermometer is perfect for people with irregular sleep schedules (shift workers, mums who are feeding bubs during the night, etc.)
It constantly takes your temperature during the night using its sensors that sit against the skin inside your arm (just under your armpit). The Tempdrop algorithm is able to learn and filter out your sleeping patterns and disturbances (eg: getting up to feed a baby, waking in the middle of the night, changing positions, etc.). It then gives you an accurate BBT reading. This will allow you to track you BBT and identify ovulation even with the most irregular of sleep patterns.
The Tempdrop syncs with your phone and imports your temps to the Tempdrop app – which is a free app! You can also sync your Tempdrop with popular charting apps of your choice like Read Your Body. Syncing also places your temperatures into a chart for you. They make it really easy!
Note: Tempdrop advises that users who are trying to avoid pregnancy should use their Tempdrop for 1 cycle before using their Tempdrop temps within a fertility awareness method. This helps to ensure you’re using your Tempdrop correctly. In this time you can use other fertility signs to determine your fertile window OR use barrier methods (confirm with your FAM trainer what your best pathway would be).

Hi, I’m Demi!
I’m a certified double-check sympto-thermal method teacher.
In other words… I teach the method that has 98%-99.6% effectiveness!
I’ve been using FAM as birth control for over 5 years now. It’s saved me a lot of money and contraception side-effects!
I’d love to work with you to either conceive quicker, or ditch hormonal birth control!
Who is Tempdrop best for?
If you’re someone with an irregular sleep schedule, you’re up during the night, or you can’t record your temp at the same tome each morning, Tempdrop makes it possible for you to track BBT!
I love that it makes cycle tracking more inclusive and accessible to more people.
I love that it makes cycle tracking more inclusive and accessible to more people!
The Tempdrop is perfect for people who:
- Want a thermometer that does all the work for them (including sending your temps to your phone)
- Do shift work
- Have insomnia
- Are up with children during the night
- Breastfeed during the night
- Cannot get 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep
- Cannot take their BBT at the same time every morning
Is Tempdrop worth the money?
The Tempdrop is a worthwhile investment because it allows you track your cycle even with irregular sleep patterns.
The Tempdrop will be priceless for you if you’re someone who wouldn’t usually be able to track your BBT because of irregular sleep schedules.
If you don’t have irregular sleep patterns, you don’t necessarily need to spend the money, but all of Tempdrop‘s features will make charting easier for you! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
After using this for many cycles, I thought it was worth the money and that the price was more than reasonable for what it does, how accurate it is, and the customer service/help/tech support they offer.
Tempdrop are constantly updating and improving their features and adding NEW features, so you get more for you money as time goes on. When I got my Tempdrop they didn’t have sleep data available. Now, I can see my sleep data on my Tempdrop app – that’s a bonus feature I didn’t expect to have when I originally downloaded the app. As time goes on, the Tempdrop keeps giving!
