Thumb Sucking Deterrent Brace, Kids & Toddler Breathable Guard Glove, Finger Sleeve for Sucking and Nail Biting Prevention, for Ages 4 Years Old & Up, Orange

I bought this for my 5 (az M/L) year old at the time and now 4 year old as well (az SM). I also bought 2 "Dr Thumbs" at the same time. Trial and error right? Well after 6 months of verbal prep I think each child was ready at this particular moment in their life to finally quit (I had two very passionate thumb suckers aince birth). The glove was amazing for us! I only put the doctor thumb on my 4 year old as a scar tactict and it worked. I threatened her if she took the glove off I would but the big (more uncomfortable thumb guard on instead -Dr. Thumb) so yes, they can pull it off. But if you work patiently and persistently with your child for about a week (get be or take) they st used to it. Both mine were very willing and proud to put it on after a couple days. They called it heir "elsa glove". Luckily the package comes with a pair so I had a back up I'd one got dirty or lost. This process was so smooth compared to other tactics I tried the last couple years and I'm so grateful for this nice comfortable thumb glove. And affordable! Granted you have to know your child and if they are ready or not. My 5 year old was very ready and didn't want to suck her thumb in kinder. And 4 year old didn't think she was ready (at 3 we tried and quit after a week of misery) but at 4 she was able to quit cold turkey on her 4th bday. We also bought a cute book on Amazon about thumb sucking to read to them. Lots of tactics out there and sometimes it's good to have backup options. Good luck parents out there! 😉

My daughter loves the bright coral pink. I wish we had gotten a darker color that wouldn't show the dirt so much. Or that we had used it in the winter when she wasn't playing outside so much :) The good thing is that it includes two in the pack, so if one is dirty you can switch to the other one. We clean one every night. It is working for my five year old breaking the habit!!

These are working so well! They fir my average sized 5 year old very well with some room to grow. They are pretty stretchy so I've busted her 2 or 3 times stretching them over her thumb to get at it but I think it's uncomfortable because she doesn't do that often. I also bought a harder silicone type glove for her left hand bc it's her 1st choice, aka, her delicious thumb. These fit nicely underneath and help prevent chaffing. I need to buy another pair for laundry nights. Also, these are cute so my threats of sending her to school with gloves on don't really work anymore...

they fit great, and have been really helping but needs to be a child who is wanting to stop sucking their thumbs. I was however very disappointed that they were orange and not hot pink as they are advertised on amazon - also they are easily taken off the thumb so if your child really wants to suck their thumb they definitely can. Would like a product that would not be easily removed from the thumb.

Our daughter just turned 6 and is still a closet thumb sucker. She comes home from school, washer her hands, and then sticks her thumb in her mouth. Whenever she is tired, the thumb becomes her pacifier. She has been saying for 2 years that she is going to give it up but it never has happened. Now that she is losing baby teeth and has permanent teeth coming in, we have told her she is going to cause her teeth to come in crooked and will need braces...she says she wants to quit and asked us to help her out. My wife found these on Amazon and gave them a shot.We tried them a few nights and she removed them within minutes. I think she is so attached to the thumb that we are going to have to have a retainer put in that she can't remove in order to get her to stop. This may work for some but not for our daughter. It is no fault of the quality of the product so I'm not giving it a highly negative review but at the same time can't give it any praise since it didn't solve the problem it was designed to fix. Given that she didn't use it for any length of time, I can't comment on the durability either.

Wao it worked great l only applied to my daughter figures for only three day only,now she has completely forgotten about thumb sucking. I strongly recommend mavala thumb stop because it is the best.

The Stop Thumb Sucking gloves worked perfectly for our 4 year old daughter. She was at a point where sucking her thumb was just a bad habit--it wasn't that she needed it anymore. We had talked and talked and talked about quitting sucking her thumb-read books, discussed how she was big girl and didn't need her thumb, etc. The gloves were the perfect solution.I ordered our first pair in 2011 and with the birth of our 3rd child a few months ago, I've caught my daughter sucking her thumb again at night (It has been over a year since she last sucked her thumb:/ Of course, she also has a blanket with similar material to her blankie too = need to remove that!) so on go the gloves again! I am back to order another pair, because I can't find our first ones! She loved playing with them and they are around here somewhere, but I can't find them!YES--they do come off easily. So, if you have a determinded child who is going to do whatever it takes to get to that thumb, then this isn't the product for you-and your child might not be old enough or ready to stop. However, if your child is older and understands the concept as to why he needs to quit, then the gloves will probably be successful for you if you set it up correctly.We totally made a big deal of how cool these gloves are and she loved wearing them--she was at the point where she mainly sucked her thumb at night--because we also gave her her little blankie. After we took the blankie away (remove any comfort items-I know it's hard, but it will help)and set up a little reward sticker chart, it only took a matter of days.Again, the gloves aren't magical--they will not solve the problem without you setting up your own system to help your child succeed in stopping sucking his/her thumb! For us, discussing reasons why she needed to quit, reading the book "Thumb Love", and getting the gloves and using them alongside the reward chard = SUCCESS!!
