5.0 out of 5 stars Worked well for our 6-year-old, May 24, 2007

By	Louis Rios (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Our almost-seven-year-old daughter was still thumbsucking almost every evening and at bedtime. (She knows better than to do so at school). We gave her fair warning that this product was coming, and when it arrived (about 6 weeks ago) we let her apply it onto her own thumb. Apparently she was "ready" to give up the thumb, becuase we haven't had a problem since then. She re-applies it as needed at bedtime, and surprisingly she hasn't complained much at all. She does report that sometimes she accidentally gets a taste of this stuff while eating a sandwich or some other finger food, but it's not often, and it doesn't seem to have affected her appetite. I'm optimistic that we can stop using it soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I knew about this product sooner!, July 18, 2007

By	Amy (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This product worked immediately. I wish I had known about it sooner. I used it on my 4 year old son who was a thumbsucker. He had a callous on his thumb from sucking so hard and I was beginning to see that his teeth were sticking out. Along with applying the clear polish, I used lots of praise and gave my son extra attention for a couple of weeks. He was very proud of himself for stopping. I am hoping that this little investment saved me some money on braces and speech therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Nail Biting Deterent EVER!, July 12, 2007

By	Rebecca "Wrkofrt1" (TN) - See all my reviews

This product does what it says it will do - STOPS NAIL BITING & THUMB SUCKING! I've tried many other products to try to keep my 2 yr. old son from biting his nails because he sees his father doing it. This is the ONLY product that works! If only I could get his father to put it on his nails! Definitely would recommend this to anyone who's needing to keep the fingers out of the mouth!
