It seemed to work for my daughter the first two weeks and then the effectiveness went down. We have put it on at least once a day (they reccomend less) but it does not seem to work as well.
Horribly Good

I have been using Stop on my 3 year old for a week and so far it seems to be working. At least he doesn't put his fingers on his mouth so often as he did. I am even using it on myself because I bite my nails too and let me assure you that this thing tastes so horrible that just remembering that awful taste stops me from even putting my fingers near my mouth. It tastes bitter and that's not the worst part, that flavor lingers on your mouth for quite a while after you bite your nails.

This product helped my 6 year old daughter stop sucking her thumb within a few days. We had tried everything else and after only a couple of applications, she kicked the habit. I strongly recommend this product.
5 years of thumb sucking stopped immediatley!

My five year old twins have been thumb suckers since a few months old. We tried another "paint on your thumb" stuff and they would just suck it off and keep on sucking. The night I painted Mavala on both thums nails they did try to suck and they ran to the sink to rinse their mouth out. They could not get the taste out of their mouth. They said it tasted bad. We did repaint their nails every night for about a week and then we stopped. The twins have not sucked their thumbs in 15 days. Mavala is well worth the money!!!

We tried all different ways to stop our 4-1/2 year old from thumb-sucking. No luck. Finally I ordered Mavala STOP and applied to her thumb. She tasted it ONCE, gagged a little and voila ! Her thumb sucking has now completely stopped. Same with nail biting. It has been two weeks and no issues.
I would recommend this to everyone with this issue.
(ps: I tasted this a bit too and the stuff is nasty !)
What a great product!

We have used every other product advertised to try to get our 4 year old to stop sucking his thumbs. The other products worked for maybe a week. So I was sceptic about trying one more thing and spending more money on this bad habbit. BUT This miracle product really worked. It has almost been a month, and he has not reverted back to sucking his thumb. I have reccommended this product to my friends and family and they have already seen an improvement with their kids too!!!
Can't believe this works like magic!

My son has the nail biting problem shince he was 4 (He just turned 9). I made a lot of effort in pursuading him not to do it, but failed. After I started to apply this product to him since last Christmas, he has stopped it completely. I will continue use it for some time.
Thanks and this product is highly recommended!
Didn't work for my 4 year old.

My daughter has been biting her nails for more than a year now, and while I applied this bad-tasting polish every day for a week (I tried it-- it is very bad and lingers in your mouth for the next hour or so!), I didn't stop my little chewer. Just thought I'd add that into the mix.
really worked!

My 3.9 Yrs old daughter used to suck her thumb since she was 3 months old.She was not able to sleep without sucking her thumb,then she started sucking while watching the T.V,and also when she was bored.I tried several things, nothing worked.I heared about this product from my friend.Before applying this to her thumb, I told her that her thumb will taste bitter soon, if she keep on suking it.Then I applied it when she was sleeping.Next day she tried to do it after washing her hand several times,again and again .Then she gave up.She didn't suck her thumb not even once after that.Thanks to this product.Worked realy great for us.
Superb

This stuff is SUPER-bitter, and immediately stopped my 4½ year old girl's finger-sucking (which she's done since she was in the womb). Be aware that the finger-sucking is probably just a manifestion of some need, however, so it may get redirected in some other way (probably emotional or behavioral).
In our daughter's case, she whines a lot more, and sometimes she puts her hair in her mouth. Still, I'd rather she come to Mom or Dad for hugs than suck the fingers.
The ONLY thing that has worked for us!!!

My son has been a thumb sucker since he was 3 months old. Now that he is 4.5 years old, the thumb sucking needed to stop. At his last dentist appointment in the fall, the dentist told us that the thumb sucking needed to stop in order to avoid any malformations of his mouth. So for the last 3 months we had tried every thing (including bribery:) including other nail products, but nothing worked!
Upon seeing the great reviews for Mavala Stop, I thought why not try one more thing? Well, it has worked like a charm to end the mindless sucking that goes on in the middle of the night or when he watches t.v. I think that it is a great reminder (bitter, yet effective) to not put his thumb in his mouth.
He hasn't sucked his thumb in over 2 weeks, and requests the "nasty stuff" for his thumb to keep on with the great progress we have made. Thanks for the great product!!! Oh, and a little goes a looooong way:)
This worked when nothing else would!

My daughter had always sucked her thumb since she was a baby. The stop was a last resort. It worked like a charm! Then she took up biting her nails. It really does work...we're on our third bottle! We call it "magic potion" because it really is magic!
GREAT PRODUCT!

Mavala Stop worked like a charm for my 4 year old. She sucked her thumb when there was nothing else to do. I put Mavala Stop on 1 time and she never sucked it again.
It Works!

We were in CO over Thanksgiving and discovered this product while my neice was using it! My 10 year old was ready to stop sucking her thumb but unable to do it on her own. This product works. It stinks BUT it works:)!
Thank you for a healthier child now that she has stopped sucking her thumb!
Well worth it!!

Great Product! My 5 year old was a thumb sucker and wouldn't quit. We put this on her thumb for a week and she hasn't sucked since. I recommend it!

I bought Mavala Stop to help my six-year-old stop sucking her thumb. I applied it to all her nails, and after just a few days she swore off thumb-sucking forever! Just to be sure, I continued to apply it every few days for about two weeks. I haven't applied any more for well over a week now, and I haven't observed her sucking her thumb even once! Thank you, thank you, for a product that truly does what it says it will!
Effectively stops nail biting!

My adopted 3 1/2 year-old daughter sucked her thumb long enough to give herself an overbite. Shortly after adopting her, I tried "Thum," which was useless. I then searched the internet and found rave reviews for Mavala "Stop." I bought a bottle and found that it worked immediately. My daughter will hold her fingers near her mouth and she will chew/suck on her shirt, but she no longer sucks her thumb. I will continue to apply "Stop" until the bottle is gone. If she resumes sucking her thumb, I will buy more, but I don't think it will be necessary.
