Prevent Scratching Face, Thumb Sucking Habit, Pulling IV Tubes Elbow Immobilizer Splint & Arm Restraint Wrap for Babies Kids-Prevent HAND-TO-FACE habits (X-Small(2pcs))

I can never usually find the time to review items the way I wish I could but I’m making sure I do for this one!! My son had his cleft palate repair surgery this month and these have worked really well for us. We are using them to avoid hands and toys in the mouth while he recovers. I’m honestly not sure why they have such low ratings so I wanted to bring some positive awareness to them. I will start off by saying they don’t have any kind of helpful sizing chart so I did order an extra small pair and a small pair just because I didn’t really know what to expect as far as sizing. For reference my son is 1 year old, 23 pounds and 27 inches long. Both the extra small and the small fit him fine but we have preferred using the extra small because they take up less room on his arm while offering the same amount of bending resistance as the size small. In my attached photo my son has on the extra small pair. The hospital did provide us with a pair of hospital grade no no’s but my son runs naturally hot and would have damp arms from sweating so bad under them so I set out to find a better pair. I wasn’t met with a ton of options on Amazon so I just went with this pair and I’m really glad I did. They have two strong Velcro straps on each brace, one on the top and one on the bottom. There’s also gaps of open space throughout the brace that leaves breathing room so they aren’t getting super hot. We have been doing a long sleeve pj most days and just Velcro these on top of the shirt. We’ve had no issues with him sliding them off or them being too tight and he honestly doesn’t even really mind having them on. He has not had any problems with them leaving bruises or hurtful marks like other reviewers have stated. We put the center of the brace at his elbow and strap it in place there and it’s done its job nicely. I would definetely recommend these.

This works well, my kid just figured out she could slide it down if she really wants to. It stays on during the night when she doesn’t force it down to put her fingers in her mouth. Light, as comfortable as expected for a brace, no sharp edges. Size appears to be accurate in fit. Durably made, worth the money compared to similar item’s purchased prior. Overall, satisfied and works well.

They are cool but can be taken off easily. I want something more restricting because they suck their thumbs most of the day!

Doesn’t work well for older kids age 3 and up.

Bought these for my autistic daughter and after using it maybe 10 times the material started coming off the product. They work great just not made great. She never did anything to them to make the material come off.

These have worked great for post-craniofacial repair to keep my daughter’s hands out of her mouth. We bought two of these and we are happy with them! I will say a few things that could be improved: 💗 The Velcro does peel up, especially after being exposed to water. My daughter does water play and this impacted the Velcro. 💗Depending on how you position this on your little one, the Velcro also can scratch you and baby, so you may want to put socks over the immobilizers. 💗These did slide off from time to time if not secured tight enough. Overall, though, these were better for air flow, look, and lightness compared to what we were given by the hospital. Especially for summer wear! Would purchase again.

I brought these braces for my daughter who used them for 6 weeks after a surgery. These held up well for the duration. They did show dirt and spilled food but didn’t take on an odor. We were able to hand wash the braces and they cleaned up relatively well. Air dried overnight without issue. The Velcro held up well and was easy to secure. There is a little bit of a learning curve to find the right tightness. Too loose, they slide down. Too tight they leave a mark. The gaps make it easy to check tightness and also allow air flow so the braces don’t get too hot. My one complaint is the end of the Velcro straps can peel up a bit and can be kind of sharp/irritating. If you have a kid who rubs their face with the brace you may need to place a cut up pair of socks over the braces. It prevents the irritation from the ends. This happened with braces we got from the hospital too so not a deal breaker. Overall they are much lighter and more comfortable than other versions we used.

It fits my 5-yr-old well, she’s had a thumb sucking habit her whole life that’s been so hard to break. We’ve tried everything else before purchasing. It definitely holds her arm in place so she can’t get her hands to her mouth. However, there are a few issues. First one being comfort. She complains often about it hurting her arm. At first, I assumed she was just trying to get out of wearing it, but she is still complaining the next day and now every time it’s taken off she holds her arm and whines when it’s put straight again. I feel so terrible about making her wear it at all now and will not put it on her again. I’m not sure if it’s because of the quality of the product or just her arms being weaker/more sensitive. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this for smaller child. The second issue is simply how easy it is for my daughter to remove it. I did only order one since she only sucks one specific thumb but both arms being locked would definitely make that harder, so no points docked there. Overall, my daughter has stopped sucking her thumb during the day at all now so it did lead to progress which is why I gave it any stars. But my main concern about bedtime still exists and I’m scared to put it back on her out of concern for her comfort and possible strain on her arm.

Highly recommended for kids who love sucking their thumb prevents them

very good quality and does an amazing job

Lleva un velcro muy flojo que obviamente se quitan para poder chuparse el dedo. No sirve.

Bought to try to stop 16 month old removing his eye patches. Size small fits perfectly and they seem well-made. I was worried my son would find these distressing to wear but he doesn't actually seem to mind that much so far and he is still able to play quite well.

Great for cleft palate repair Recommend getting smallest size - fits my 8" sons elbow, does the job by preventing below from bending. Less material around the rest of the arm Much better than the clunky hospital braces they give you Light weight
