TGuard AeroThumb, Treatment Kit to Stop Thumbsucking (Large (Ages 7+))

BUY IT! Don't hesitate! I am NOT being paid for this review and I did not get the product for free. My ten (yes, 10!) year old daughter could not stop sucking herthumb. We tried EVERYTHING over the years. Bandaids, tape, bad tasting stuff, an orthodontic appliance (she even stopped for 6 months and re-started). This is the only thing that has ever worked. The first few nights were hard, I'm not going to lie. We stuck it out and it has been amazing. She puts it on herself every night without me having to ask. (She wore it around the clock for the first two or three days, told kids at school that she hurt her thumb playing soccer. After that she only needed it at night.) At first, I had to put it on tight enough that she couldn't pry it off so we went through a new band every night. Now, we tighten the bracelet just enough so she can't easily get out of it in her sleep, but loose enough that she can still wiggle it on and off. We change the band once a week or so and she puts it on every night without me needing to remind her. Mentally, she was ready to stop but didn't think she would ever be able to. Even though she hasn't sucked in weeks/months, I think she will continue to wear this at night for the forseeable future. I couldn't be more grateful to the inventors of the T-guard!!

Very effective. Wish it wasn’t so pricey.

This works better than an ortho habit appliance! My 9 yr old started a habit appliance along with a palate expander ( Orthodontic treatment) and she continued to use suck her thumb through all of this treatment (setting back tx) Thumbs would be swollen, and mouth hurting... this did not stop her, so I took an extra step and invested in the TGuard for both hands. It stayed on 247, only removed to shower, for 6 weeks and broke her habit! She's happier, handles her emotions better, not sick all the time, and her Orthodontic treatment is now working- smile/bite is coming along beautifully. First 2 weeks were tough but it did get easier over time using the sticker chart... trust the process.

Just what I needed for my son, I helped him leave his dependence with his finger, I like that you can change the garters and it fits his hand, it is easy to wash and comfortable

this is a great idea, but the design is flawed! my 5 years old was able to remove it and kept sucking his thumb! It took him only 4 hours to figure it out. I am happy and disappointed at the same time! I was hoping this would help him stop sucking his thump. the seller charges $10 restocking fees, what a shame Updates: The seller contacted me and issued the restocking fees back to my account, and he explained the reason why my 5 years old was able to remove it, is because I ordered the wrong size. He provided me a new package at no charge which is very courteous from him. The good news is my kid stopped sucking his thumb on his own. I think God responded my prayers.
