TGuard AeroThumb Anti-Thumb Sucking Guard – Thumb Sucking Deterrent Prevention Kit with InstaLock Interlock System, Washable Secure-Fit for Kids, Large (Kids 70 lbs & Up), Ages 7 and Up, Made in USA

This system was truly a lifesaver. I had an aggressive thumb sucker, so much so that her teeth were starting to move forward and she had huge blisters/callouses on both of her thumbs. She sucked to go to sleep, ride in the car, even while she was talking she would sometimes refuse to take her thumb out of her mouth. We tried everything: educating her on the bad effect the thumb sucking was having on her teeth, bad tasting nail polish, discouraging her sucking during sit-down times, bribing with daily rewards, but nothing seemed to work. We let her know that we were going to help her stop the habit with these devices, and showed her the star chart included. When the chart is finished, we told her, she would be getting a ride-on toy she has been wanting. We also tied permission to watch her favorite tv show to be dependent upon her completing the previous day successfully without sucking her thumb. Warning: the first week was HARD. The first two days I had adjusted the band too tight, and the device ended up leaving red marks on her hands. On the third day, we found a fit that worked for us, and though *technically* she could get out of it, we warned if she did so we would tighten the device further and it encouraged her to leave it on. Even so, the sucking had already dropped dramatically on day 1, by day 3 she only sucked to try to get a reaction from us, and by day 7 she realized the daily rewards and her favorite TV show were more valuable than the lackluster reward of her diminished thumb sucking abilities with the device. Bedtime was a constant nightmare that first week as she learned how to fall asleep without her thumb crutch. Day 8 was the first day she went all day without sucking her thumb, and with only one time when she was really upset on day 22, she never tried sucking again. By day 25, I started taking the device off for very dirty activities, like play dough or cookie baking, then putting it back on. By day 29 we phased out of the device entirely, and she is currently on her 4th day without wearing the device at all and still no thumb sucking. It’s a miracle! Pros: design, toddler may like the choice of wrist bands, easily washable Cons: Lots of people will judge you for putting the device on your child (not that I cared), the device will start to get tinged over time, and getting the right fit is a bit difficult at first. It’s expensive if you need two devices like I did. I also wouldn’t recommend this unless your toddler is verbal enough to understand why you’re doing it and the reward system you set up for them. Overall, if I had to do this all over again, I would buy this system in a heartbeat. It is the only thing that has produced results, and it took less than 60 days to do so. Would highly recommend!!!

Our little one started sucking his thumb as soon as he found it at around 4 months old and quit using any other pacifier. Now he's 2 years old (26 months to be exact) and we were ready to ditch the thumb sucking as his teeth were starting to shift because of it. We tried the bitter tasting nail polish at first and it had minimal impact. I was a little hesitant when I first saw the price of this Thumb Guard, but when compared to dental appliances, palate expanders, and orthodontics later in life - the cost of this is negligible. The first time I put this on, my little one was distracted with TV and snacks. After he noticed it, he didn't seem to mind and NEVER complained about it for the weeks to come. He was still able to eat, drink, play while wearing the Thumb Guard. We did notice a couple tantrums within the first 3 days of wear as he had to learn alternative coping mechanisms and a few of his naps were short as he had to learn how to fall asleep without his thumb - be prepared for these behavior change hurdles! The one and only time his skin showed any signs of irritation was when our Nanny changed out the band and fastened it too loosely. When the band is loose, everything can shift around and irritate the skin. When the wrist band and device fit snug, we did NOT experience any irritation. After 1 WEEK of Wear - we attempted to remove the device. Our little one went back to thumb sucking within a few hours. So we put the device back on. After 2 WEEKS of Wear - we attempted to remove the device. Our little one did great for about 2 days! Then I caught him sucking his thumb in bed. So we put the device back on. After 3 WEEKS of Wear - we removed the device and have NOT had any more thumb sucking! This 1000% works with consistency. He wore the device 24/7 through wake time and sleeps. We only took it off during baths (every other day). Because we only changed it every other day, we still have plenty of wrist bands remaining if needed, at least 10 extras. I would easily and highly recommend this Thumb Guard for anyone who is looking to stop their child's thumb sucking.

It did work. I was able to get my two year old to stop sucking her thumb. Even with just one device she didn't try to suck her other thumb. I ended up having to keep it on her hand at all times for close to two months. We had to put a cotton glove with the fingers cut out under the device because it would blister her hand if we didn't. The first two night were rough but after that she did really well and didn't want us to take it off. We went to these drastic measures because she had a massive overbite from thumb sucking. That did right itself in a few months after she quit thumb sucking. I would recommend. I'm only deducting one star because it will blister their hand without a glove and if you don't keepit tight enough they can pull it off.

This was recommended for my four year old by our pediatric dentist. Her bite was getting pretty bad. We purchased it and did the full 44 days of treatment. Consistent 24/7 wear. The first week was the hardest! It was an adjustment. But it just became part of our everyday wear. She was still able to do everything she loves. After the 44th day - we removed it and she was ALL DONE. It was AMAZING and totally worth it. Their customer service is great if there are questions. I always recommend this to anyone trying to put a stop to thumb sucking.

I purchased the TGuard Aero Thumb Sucking Prevention Kit with high expectations because it is quite an expensive product and is specifically designed to prevent babies from sucking their thumb. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. First of all, it did not accomplish its main purpose. My daughter was able to remove the device very easily, which should not happen with a product that is supposed to prevent a child from accessing their thumb. If a baby can take it off on their own, the product completely loses its purpose. In addition, the material quality is not very good. The silicone part started to turn yellow after only a few days of use. I always washed it carefully according to the instructions, but it still became discolored and looked worn very quickly. Considering the price of this product, I expected better design, better material quality, and better effectiveness. Unfortunately, that was not the case. In my experience it did not work at all and ended up being a very disappointing purchase. Based on my experience, I would not recommend it.

Great idea in theory and worked…ish but all it did was make my daughter start sucking on her other thumb instead, and this is already an expensive device. Should come as a 2 pack for this price since I can’t imagine it being successful for any child with just one.

T-Guard works. It is a very well designed device that prevent sucking and it is confortable and easy to use. With that said it is not perfect, sizing can be tricky and the kid and specially the extra wrist band are expensive (fortunately we found a way around that). My 4 year old was a full time thumb sucker. Before we bought the guard I measured his thumb and I got a medium according with the chart, looking back I think the small would have been more appropriate. We have been talking a lot about why he should break the habit and I even show him videos of the thumb guard ahead of time. However, I knew that this was going to be a very difficult battle and it occurred to me that Santa may be able to help. My son believe that the guard came from Santa and was delivered to him by the Elf on Thanksgiving with a letter from Santa where he promise a treat every night if he keep it on and extra gift on Christmas day!. This motivation was paramount to the success of the treatment because, with the exception of the first day when he had a hard time, my son was very willing to keep the guard on. Because the device was a little big for him I have to tied as much as possible the wrist band and even then, with enough effort, he could take it off. After 48 hours we were having some sores due to the band. Fortunately, at that point I was able to lose the band and my son never attempted to take the guard off. One of the thing I love the most is that he can do everything including watching and drying his hand with the guard. The direction said to remove the guard once a day but after a few days we decided that wasn't necessary. We change the wrist band every other day. I am glad that we did that because now I have extra bands, which is good because we are now using the guard at bed time. So far the treatment has been very successful but once in while just before he falls of sleep or when he is waking up he wants to suck. Although, there are not more prices from Santa, my son understand his big accomplishment and he doesn't want to suck any more and he is happy to put the guard at night. I am very happy we got this product, with the right motivation and this great device breaking the sucking habit was much easier that I ever expected. Worth every penny!!

I rarely write reviews and I was a bit skeptical. But IT WORKED !!! We had tried EVERYTHING to get him not to suck his thumb. He's been sucking his thumbs for 5 years.... Only a month and a half with these one, and he stopped completely !!! It was hard at first to maneuver his fingers to do his everyday task w his hands, like holding a pencil to brushing his teeth. Pro: Worked !!! They are easy to put on & take off. Very easy to clean. Not too hard and stiff on his hands. The longer he had it one the softer it got, so he could move his thumb around a bit. Con: The guards started having discoloration after 2 weeks of wearing (we did not really mind, but made it look dirty contraption on his hands. After prolong used of it, the guard becomes softer & gets a bit loose. He found a loophole and could slide his thumbs out and started sucking on them again. So we had to tighten the strap the band. The bad thing about the bands, it gave him rash like blisters and small cuts frm the edge of the band. The last day we took it off to test out if he actually stopped sucking his thumb, left him having marks where the band was, dried chafing rash like. But we put vaseline around the area and it helped. Besides the cons, it really WORKED for us. Its has not sucked his thumb not once after we took the guards off, which was only took him a month and half to kick this habit !!!

Highly recommended. It is effective in helping my child stop sucking her thumb.

This one hundred percent works! Got it for my 10 month old who was addicted to sucking his thumb. After 4 weeks of consistent use, (only took it off during bath time), he completely stopped sucking his thumb.

This didn't work for us - our 4yo worked out how to use his teeth to pull the guard up and then slide his thumb down and out after 2 days. Also was able to cut the band off with scissors and take the guard off. Didn't matter how tight i secured the guard. I can see how it might work for some children. Just didn't work for us.

Es justo lo que se muestra, el material es cómodo y se ajusta perfectamente, además los aditamentos son divertidos para los niños Tenemos muchas buenas expectativas para lograr dejar de chuparse los dos dedos (Había hecho una mala reseña, por que me habían enviado un mail de que el producto no llegaría, me comentaron que fue un error, pero aún no sé cómo borrar la reseña anterior)

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
