My daughter is 4 and it was time to stop the thumb sucking. the only negative thing was that i needed over a month supply of the bracelets. we used it every night and my daughter slowly stopped sucking her thumb. we had her pick out the color for the night and she helped put it on and cut the straps off. we got her involved so she did not feel that it was a punishment. we had sent my daughter to my parents for the weekend (a little over a month since we stated using the product) and we forgot to give the guard to them, she came home and no more thumb sucking. it was by accident that we found out that she stopped but i love the fact that it worked and fast. this was much better than the over $750 that the dentist wanted for a devise that goes in the mouth. we use it a few nights here and there to reinforce the habit of not sucking on her thumb. i would recommend the product to everyone. i think it really works. i got the medium size ( a little bigger according to their recommendations) this way she can have it for a while and that it completely covers her thumb.

I switched to buying regular paper bracelets for my child because these bracelets are too expensive, however she can easily unstick the paper bracelets and remove the guards. So, we had to go back to buying these specific bracelets. Thumb sucking habit is a very strong habit. My child did well for a while without the guard and then relapsed. These bracelets are helping her thumb guards stay put all night, it's impossible to remove them without using the scissors. Read more
The bands make such a difference with keeping the guards on. My daughter likes to slip hers off and this helps it stay on all night Read more
This worked like a charm to help our 5 year old kick the habit of sucking her thumb, especially at night. We used the nail polish in years past, but she eventually fought through the bitter taste. My only suggestion for other parents is to remove it EVERY DAY to clean and moisturize the thumb, and possibly leave it off for part of the day. We got lazy after a few weeks and our daughter's thumb developed a pretty severe rash/sore from leaving it on for days on end. Read more
These are soft enough to be comfortable but sturdy enough to stay on for an extended time and reuse. Read more
Excelente inversión. Mis dos hijos se chupaban los dedos. Tienen 5 y 2 años. Duramos casi 40 días con los guantes, todo el mes de abril. La primera noche fue la más difícil, sin embargo se fueron acostumbrando. La constancia fue la clave, creo que solo una noche pasaron sin el guante porque se nos olvidó, pero lo usaban casi las 24 horas. El grande definitivamente dejó el hábito. Con el de dos estamos muy pendientes aún, porque en ocasiones cuando va a dormirse intenta chuparse el dedo y el mismo se acuerda y no lo hace. Seguimos alerta y corregimos, por ahora creemos que no será necesario volverlo a usar con el. Read more
I brought and used this product for my 2 yr old. I really liked the guard, I just feel it's for babies maybe 6 months to 1ish years at the max. With my experience I felt all I was doing was keeping it out her mouth for the time she wore it( which was everyday). I would take it off for a bath or dinner, but the moment it was off she would be at it! The bracelets became a bill, it was a serious habit at 2ish. I think it would be great for beginners! WHAT STOPPED MY TODDLER: So my daughter was almost 3 and it was time for her to stop, that's the age the dentist recommended. I purchased some nail polish from target for nail bitten (Ella Mila) before I purchased the guard but it didn't work. At the time she had just got off formula milk and just started eating, so she really didn't know the difference between a bitter sweet taste! Because the milk is gross if you ask me! But for a baby that don't know a difference really they can stand the taste of that polish. Alot parents say it didn't work for their children, my first attempt didn't work either. After the guard she was 2ish and at that time I was feeling desperate, I tried it again. Now at this age she been doing some good eating OK lol she know the difference lol, so I decided to paint her nails! PARENTS IT WORKED!!!! She was like this is bad from that point on! I had to share this blessing! I had too! Now her thumb has healed and I feared she would be upset with me when she got older, because it was pushing her teeth out! I'm just so glad to share this, I hope it helps someone else! Read more
We’ve had a great experience using these bracelets along with the thumb guard for our 4yo. She stopped sucking her thumb within a month but continued to use at night for a second month to reinforce. Read more
