My 3 years old son had the bad hobby of Sucking his Thumb. I tried so many expensive products but nothing worked. One day I found online the MAVALA Stop nail polish. After the second day I new that the problem was going away and it went away just after 5 days of use.
Thank you very much for a such good product.
Works like a charm

Only took two applications, and our daughter was done with 2 years of finger sucking. It is amazing stuff.
It works!

Worked within 5 days for both my 6 yr old girl and 4 yr old boy. They had both been biting nails for 6 mos-1 yr. Just applied it maybe 3 times. It is just like thin nail polish - dries quickly on their nails (and I also applied it on skin around nails). Apparently it tastes bad enough to work this quickly!
On our way to Success

I bought this for my 3 y/o who is a thumb sucker and a nail biter badly. She has given herself sores under her fingernails from biting and sucking her thumb and fingers so much. The first night with it on we had a major crying fit but we managed to get through it. Then over the next few days it got better. She had been doing very well until this last week she climbed up on her high dresser and tried to put the polish on her on fingers herself spilling the rest of the bottle all over her and the rocking chair. Needless to say we are having to order another bottle. I have seen a huge decrease in her thumb sucking and she no longer bits her nails at all. Yahoo!!! Thank you, Thank you! I know that we are going to have keep using this a little longer for the thumb especially but we WILL make it.
Good for children, but what about adults?

I think this product is good for children, meaning good for parents wanting to stop their children biting nails, but it is not so good for adults wanting to stop their own nail biting.

Wow, this stuff is a good as they say. I used for my 3 1/2 year old, to stop finger sucking. After one application, we had no sucking for about a month, then had to reapply. Wish I had bought it sooner.
Fantastic!!!

It worked!!! I couldn't believe it!!
My daughter is 2 and a half years old and she was sucking the thumb since she was born. I tried Mavala just once and it worked!! Her pediatrician was impressed and she asked me about this wonderful product.
Unbelievable!!

It worked from the very 1st application...My daughter is
9 1/2 & still sucked her index finger. Orthodontist wanted to have $250.00 appliance inserted to break the habit before braces...I can't believe how terrific this product is. The taste is so nasty she didn't want her finger near her mouth ever again...It's been 6 weeks & her teeth are actually even shifting back to a normal bite already...Thank you for a wonderful,easy,inexpensive product..I have recommended this to my child's dentist, as well as family & friends..jhs
Works Great

This product worked for one day. After that my daughter continued to suck her thumb. If it is a strong habit, this product will not help and was my last resort. I was disappointed.

I have been a nail biter for all of my many years and have tried every stop nail biting product on the market and they all been no better than a bad tasting candy that washes off as soon as your hands are in the water. Mavala Stop is definitely not like those other products. It has the worst taste that has ever been in my mouth, it does not rinse out of your mouth, and it does not wash off your hands for at least three days and after that, there is still residue left in your nail. It is the only product that has ever worked for me. My granddaughter is now using it and does not let her fingers near her mouth with Stop is on her nails. The only part about Stop that I don't like is that, because of the incredibly bad taste, I am unable to floss my teeth when it is on my nails. But that's a downside I can put up with. There are other products on the market that will substitute for floss.
Disappointed

This product did not work for my 3 year old. The first day or two I had it on him he said he didn't like it, but he quickly got used to it and now bites his nails constantly. He doesn't care that it's disgusting. I tried it and it really is gross. It just didn't discourage him from biting. I am disappointed.
Highly recommended

My daughter stopped biting her nails after I used this product for approximately one week. My neice who used to suck her fingers since she was born (for 3yrs),stopped sucking her fingers in one day after using this nailpolish . My brother who is 30 and has used every product imaginable wants to order a bottle because he cannot believe how awful it tastes. I took a risk spending the money but it is well worth it. You will be very pleased.
wow, her gifting me cheerios taste okay again

My daughter (14m) sucked her thumb at every opportunity, primarily boredom and to sleep at night and general comforting. I was okay with it and know it's important to self soothe, etc, but dentist gave me the big 'uh oh' and then i was on a mission to divert dental bills to college fund instead. In addition, her style of sucking was a bit weird - side on so that palm was vertical with bone right on upper gum. The tooth to the left of the top 2 front teeth came through at a weird angle (and i know this is baby teeth and that's okay) so on went the mavala and, although she occasionally sucked through it and all food and anything in contact with mouth/thumb started to taste so bitter, 3 weeks later and she's forgotten the habit. I'm so proud of her and so pleased with the product - first review i've been compelled to write. I confess that sewing up her pyjama hands on oversize pyjamas at night and naps at the same time as the mavala weeks had a massive speeding up effect, but this stuff worked (for us). I bought three bottles thinking we were in for the long haul, lapses etc, but so far we barely got through a quarter of a bottle. No reduction in appetite, increase in talking (that's good, right?...) and no apparent screwing up our child's future through thumb deprivation yet....
Amazing

A friend told me about this product for my daughter who puts her thumb in her mouth. I tried everything to make her stop and nothing worked she always went back to putting her thumb in her mouth. Until I found this magical product. I have to admit I was skeptical but when I put it on her thumb it took less than a week for her to stop completley. I recommend this for anyone with a thumb in mouth problem
It Works!!!

MAVALA Stop worked very quickly. I applied it one time to my four year old's thumb and he stopped his thumbsucking. I had just ordered a replacement retainer to help him stop even though the first retainer didn't stop this behavior. Wish I'd known about this product much earlier!!
It worked!!!

I was so skeptical of this product. My daughter was an avid thumb sucker. At 2 1/2 yrs old she constantly had her thumb in her mouth. She also twirled her hair at the same time. She even refused to have her hair in pony tails b/c it would get in the way of her hair twirling. The first two days were very difficult after using the product. The first day she gagged so bad it almost made her throw up. I felt so guilty. She cried and cried for her thumb, but by day 2 it was a little better. By the third day she was sleeping much better and wasn't even trying to suck her thumb. She would ask if she could, but I told her no b/c it tasted bad. It has been a month and she hasn't tried to suck her thumb in weeks. She no longer twirls her hair either b/c it was related to thumb sucking. She even lets me do pony tails!!!! THANK YOU MAVALA! I can't believe this product worked. It's a miracle. Nobody believed it would work. My mother and husband thought I was crazy for trying it and they are shocked that she stopped sucking her thumb within 3 days.
It really works!

My almost 3 year old daughter sucked her finger all through the night, and she would actually be upset about it in the morning when she saw that her finger was wrinkled from being in her mouth all night. The first time she tasted this on her finger, that was all it took for her to stop and now over a month later she has yet to suck her finger at all. She even insists that we paint her finger with it every night before bed, just to make sure! Definitely worked for us, and just know that a little goes a long way.
