Dr Thumb for Thumb Sucking Prevention and Treatment, Stop Thumb Sucking Today (Large (3-7 years))

This worked for both my boys ages 5 and 7. We had tried just about everything i could think of to quit but got nowhere. The boys both wanted to quit but just didnt know how. We got 2 of the devices, one for each kid. They wore them most of the time for about a week except while in school. They kept telling me that they quit and didnt feel like sucking any more but i kept them on for a few more days anyway. They did not like wearing the device but we bribed them with toys for keeping it on. That worked. Perhaps they quit sucking just so they would not have to wear it anymore. When they got to stop wearing it we had them put on a bandaid as a reminder. I really dont care why it worked. But it worked for us! They could wiggle the thumbs out if they really wanted so if you have a kid that is older and really not ready to quit it may not work but it is relatively inexpensive so i feel like its worth a try. I wish i had done this when the kids were 1 or 2 years old.

I had high hopes for this guard for my 6 year old who was still sucking her thumb at night. We had tried gloves and all sorts of other things. She wants to quit sucking her thumb and would go to sleep without sucking it, but at some point during the night she would pull off the glove and revert. This guard is a soft silicone and she EASILY pulled her thumb out during the night no matter how snugly I adjusted the strap. This might work for a young toddler, but not for an older child.

Great device. It really works. I bought it for my two year old. The first few nights that she had it on she barely slept. She kept waking up and wanting me to remove the device. It was difficult for me also. It broke my heart because I felt that I was making her miserable. On about the fourth night she would go to sleep and stayed asleep without waking up. I kept it on for 10 days and she's no longer sucking her thumb. It's off now but I watch her like a hawk. She has never tried since to suck the thumb. I am very pleased because I started to see how oral structure was being affected by her sucking her thumb. When she tried to remove her finger from the device all I did was tell her not to touch it and distracted her. Wow... great product idea and it really works.

My son actually stopped sucking his thumb! This works...My son tried like crazy to take this off day one. He actually got it off because it was too loose. But we tightened it (no loss of circulation) and he kept it on all night. We keep it on day and night (and bath) and eventally he stopped sucking his thumb by about week 3. We keep it on as he though it "made his thumb stronger." By week 5 it split apart and was no longer usable, but it didn't matter because it served its purpose. The falling apart around week 5 is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. This actually works though!

The 3-7 year old size does not fit my 4 year old well. My daughter is tall for her age and has long fingers. The thumb guard is a little snug on her and irritates the base of her thumb. The nylon wrist strap fits fine, it's the silicone straps on her hand that are problematic for her. The silicone thumb guard causes her thumb to sweat at night and I'm worried about skin break down where the guard rubs on her thumb. The good thing is that she cannot remove it herself. However, she came running into my room at 3am begging for me to take it off because it was hurting her. When I removed it, she had a large red sore on the heel of her thumb. I will say that the quality is great. I like that it is made of a soft silicone and I like that she cannot remove it herself at night. However, I wish Dr. Thumb came in a larger size. I have considered tucking some gauze under the part of the silicone that is rubbing on her hand. Just wanted to let parents know that the product might not work if your child has long fingers. I will try placing Dr. Thumb over gloves to see if that helps.

Hi this definitely worked my daughter was a hard core thumb sucker. After visiting the dentist and a hard winter of sickness I was ready for my 31/2 year old to quit. I have alot to say about this product. It was a hate love relationship. I don't know if the device worked but the threat of putting it on did. My daughter hated wearing it and I just thought it was so cruel to make her wear it at night but the process would not of worked if she did not. She could get it off and still suck her thumb no matter how tight I made it. But making it tight worried me and she did not like being uncofortable. So after about 4 days she learned to get her thumb out the whole process took about 2 months but she quit because of the threat of putting it on. Then she started having trouble sleeping and that took about a year to fix if it not one thing it's another. But it eventually worked 😉

This product is extremely easy to be taken off by your child. Works fine during the day when you can keep an eye on them to make sure they dont pull the thumb guard off. But car rides or sleep time my son just pulls the thumb part right off, leaving the wrist strap still attached. Even tried to add notched in the palm and back of hand straps to try and secure it further, didnt help at all the silicone is so strechy it takes little effort to remove.

EXCELLENT! PRODUCT WORKED FOR OUR 15 month old within 2month his habit had been broken! MONEY SAVER! Habit breaker! highly recommend using sooner than later.

過去にいろんな方法を試しましたがうまくいきませんでした。 物理的に力任せに取り外されない限りガードできるので効果はてきめんです。 苦いクリームなどを併用するとより効果的ですね。 うちは5歳の娘です。

Mon fils a très vite arrêté de sucer son pouce. Ce n'est pas élégant donc on le met la nuit. Mais nous sommes heureux car nous avons tout essayé pour qu'il arrête (vernis, pansement et élasto, la menace, la récompense ... rien a marché!!!) j'ai cru qu'il enlevé son pouce la nuit car il était mouillé le matin mais en fait il transpirait. Cet objet nous a sauvé, il est miraculeux!! Attention il existe plusieurs tailles: j'ai pris la plus grande pour on fils de 6 ans. Attention aussi il s'agit de plastique donc ça peut cassé; j'ai dû le recollé.

Très efficace pour mon fils qui se suçait le pousse sans cesse. L’accessoire à tenu le coup trois semaines et a brisé par usure puisque mon fils le portait 24 h sur 24 sauf durant le bain, mais mon fils n’a plus jamais sucer son pousse après. J’ai adoré l’expérience de cette petite solution magique! Je le recommande à tous les parents!

Excellent product. Comes with additional band and clasp that cannot be removed without using a pen, screwdriver or other tool which is great for when your child works out how to remove the standard clasp.

It worked for a while but my 3 year old chewed it and eventually tore it. Its a good product and the soft silicone is comfortable but it wasnt durable. quite costly too so didn't have the courage to buy it again.
