Thumb Sucking Deterrent Brace, Kids & Toddler Breathable Guard Glove, Finger Sleeve for Sucking and Nail Biting Prevention, by an American Company, for Ages 2-4 Years Old, Blue

These gloves worked great for my 4-year old. He knew we wanted him to stop sucking his thumb, we'd been talking about it for months. The reviews on that bitter nail paint made me nervous so decided to try these gloves. My son is small for his age, I ordered the 2-4 year old size and they fit perfectly. The gloves were sown well and I had no issues during the 3 weeks he wore them. The material is stretchy and it would be VERY easy for a child to simply pull their thumb out of the thumb cover if they wanted to. However, my son didn't so they worked great! He wore them about 3 weeks, then got a bad cold and I didn't want them getting all snotty plus he was all stuffed up so that made a good transition time to stop them and he has successfully stopped sucking his thumb. I did wash them in cold water and air dried prior to first use. For the amount of fabric and sewing involved, I thought they were overpriced, but there's not much else out there on the market. I did consider a more expensive plastic thumb cover (T Guard Aero Thumb) but glad I didn't spring for that as you only get one and my son switched thumbs when I only put on one glove the first few days, so he needed both gloves to effectively break the habit.

These gloves are a complete waste of money if your child has any intention of resisting the therapy since they are extremely easy to simply remove. We tried these rather expensive but comfortable looking gloves with our 2-1/2 year old as she is developing a concerning overbite but found they ended up on the floor after the first night. More frustrating and infuriating than the fact that we paid over $30 for some cheap spandex half gloves is the fact that the company peddling this garbage is impossible to reach to either share concern regarding the ineffectiveness of their product or discuss the possibility of a refund. Surprisingly, after no response to several emails to End Thumb Sucking LLC, I was also unable to get Amazon.com to reply to my concerns either. Way to go Amazon! Please don't waste the money on these unless you have it to waste and just can't stomach the thought of a something less comfortable for your child.

My son will suck his thumb until it's literally raw, chapped, and wears away so much skin it gets infected. You would think he would stop, but I guess it doesn't occur to babies.. Anyway, he wears these gloves all the time, and while his habit has not stopped (his thumb goes in his mouth as soon as I take off the gloves), these have kept his hands healthy and healed. While he is wearing them, he doesn't even try to put his thumb in his mouth, and when he sees me get them out, he puts out his hand like he actually wants me to put it on him- kind of sad, like he WANTS me to stop him from sucking! Also, I love the material, because if his hands get wet, it dries quickly. I only have one pair, and I find myself having to wash them a lot (hand wash mostly, machine wash at least once a week is what I do). I'm going to save up for another pair. Also, these say for ages 2-4, but I ordered them when my son turned one, and they fit him just fine. Granted, he is a thick little guy :)

My son loves to wear his thumb gloves...really likes the spiderman design. It works very well for reminding him to stop sucking. That said - he is 5 years old really wants to stop thumb sucking. He could get them off and suck his thumb if he wanted to. We've had them for about 2 weeks, and I have not seen ANY thumb sucking (and he used to do it CONSTANTLY. A child that does not want to stop could easily get them off. It would be nice if there was a connection between the fingers so that a child could not get them off so easily. Also - my son is on the small side for his age, so I got the small size (for ages 2-4) and they fit him perfectly. I would think they would be huge on a 2 year old. Overall a great product that I would recommend! Hopefully saving a us ton on dental bills!

My son (3) can definitely pull these off on his own. They are very difficult to put on though. They help him remember not to suck his thumb and they are good for daytime because it doesn't impair use. However, when he is drowsy he will still suck his thumb with the glove on. The material is thin and silky and doesn't "feel" uncomfortable for him to suck. He will still accidentally do this as he is falling asleep. We just use a cotton winter glove at night because that does NOT feel good to suck on and he is compliant in not removing the glove. Also, I feel like the value for these tiny little thin, flimsy gloves is awful. And the first day we used them during the day and he got the material all stratched up by playing on the playground. If he wore it during the day and during play they would be destroyed in no time. SO if your kid needs a reminder to stop sucking their thumbs, this would work probably, but so would some cheap-o winter gloves that you have laying around.

This item fit my 23 month old perfectly, however I think this product only works for children who want to stop. My son slipped his thumbs right out and continued the habit! This was my last option so, honestly, I give up.

The bitter nail polish initially worked but she got used to the taste and continued sucking her thumb. These worked for my 2 and a half year old daughter after wearing them for 2 weeks when she would sleep. We continued using them for probably a few months to really reinforce no thumb sucking. She was able to remove them, but we just put them back on whenever we found them off. One of them had improper stitching so it was tighter than the other glove. Don’t put these on too tight or you’ll create a tourniquet. Worth the investment!

Super tight around the wrist no matter what level the button is on, I’ve tried these twice now (two different sizes) they are not worth the thirty dollars! The price point is absolutely ridiculous and they don’t fit right no matter what size, they’re always leaving marks on the wrist and uncomfortable and tight! They aren’t made out of good materials either.
