Product Description:
Finally a cure for the Thumb-sucker who wants to quit but can't! No messy polishes, with a 90% success rate over the past decade. Guard disrupts the process of sucking by maintaining a layer of air around the thumb, making it impossible to suck.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wouldn't have believed it.
I would not have believed anyone who told me how quickly and effectively this would work. It seemed like so much to pay for what you got - all I have to say is that knowing what I know now, I would have paid 10 times what it cost. Absolutely works.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - not much success
My daughter began thumb sucking at age 3, during a severe illness and has not been able to kick the habit as of yet. We've tried gloves, painting the thumb with nasty tasting medicine and have heard of the thumb guard's success, so we bought it.

I ... Read More

One-Hand ThumbSucking Kit Medium fits ages 5-6 years

I have to say I purchased this Dec 2007 for $45. Recommended to a friend a week or so after we received it, price went up to $50. Worked great, but broke (palm area) after 3-4 weeks.

So I come back today to order another and it's $75!!!! WHOA, that's ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - no good for a 5 year old
Our daughter is 5 years old, and sucks her thumb while sleeping. It took her about 3 nights to figure out how to stretch the rubber enough to suck her thumb. Probably fine for younger kids, but not for this age.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Easily Removed - Only works if child wants to stop
This product works great as reinforcement when your child WANTS to quit, and when they can be convinced (bribed) to leave it on. Because of the stretchy rubber, there is no way to get it tight enough that they can't pull the strap closures through each other and get them loose enough to get guard off if they really want to. It took my kid less than two minutes to figure this out. However, if you can come up with an incentive - a reward they will get if the guards are still on in the morning, then the ... Read More
