After reading several good reviews about this product I decided to try it with my soon to be 2 year old, who is a thumb sucker. After applying it to his thumb he put his thumb in his mouth right away. I have to say the experience he and I went through was AWFUL! He started drooling terribly and soon after he was puking! As a parent, I thought what the heck am I putting my kid through!! But after a few hours, he surely didn't want that thumb anymore. Once he figured out what was causing the nasty taste in his mouth and what was making him sick, he quit sucking his thumb cold-turkey!! My husband & I did taste the stuff and it really is horrible!
I highly recommend this product to get your child to kick the thumb sucking habit...........just be prepared incase your child does get sick from it. Remember it all should pass within a short time.
It's ok

When I first rcvd this my 3 year old hated the taste. She kept her thumb out of her mouth for a week or two. I had to keep re applying once a day becuase the polish kept coming off. I realized finally she had gotten used to the taste and didn't care anymore. Now I am thinking about the thumbguard.
No more thumbsucking!

This product is the best! My 2 1/2 year old daughter was heavily dependent on her thumb. After the first day, she stopped putting her thumb in her mouth during the day, and after the 4th day, she had stopped at night and was able to get to sleep on her own. It tastes awful, and unlike tobasco or other bad tasting ideas, it doesn't come off with a couple sucks on the thumb. Despite the taste, my daughter even enjoyed when I applied it to her nails.
This stuff really works!!!!

My son is eight years old and told us he would "NEVER" stop sucking is thumb. After two nights and two applications, he complained of a nastsy taste in his mouth and asked if i knew what he could do to get the taste out. Next thing I knew he completely stopped. I still have a complete full bottle that I intend to pass on to a couple of friends with thumb suckers.
This stuff works miracles!

My son was 5 years old and still sucking his thumb. I tried everything! Then I purchased the Mavala Stop and within 3 days, my son totally quit sucking his thumb! (It's now been a year and a half and he's never once even thought about sucking.)
I just bought the Mavala Stop once again for my daughter now. She 4 1/2 and still sucking her two middle fingers. Once again, the Mavala Stop has worked! She's no longer sucking her fingers. I highly recommend this stuff.
Not the answer!

My three year old child didn't mind the taste at all. Five minutes after each application, she had her fingers back in her mouth.

My eight year old daughter would not stop sucking her thumb! We had tried many different items, but nothing worked. After taking her to an orthodontist, believing the only way to get her to stop was to put a device in her mouth, he gave us information on this product. I ordered it, and she has not sucked her thumb since. I am so happy to have finally found something that works! It is worth every penny!!!
Yuck! It works.

I bought this for my thumb sucking four year old. It tastes so udderly awful & bitter that she would not stick her thumb in her mouth. The bitterness remains even after handwashing. I am going to keep using Mavala Stop until my daughter totally gets completely out of the habit of sticking her thumb in her mouth. It is great for little thumb suckers!
stopped 7 years of sucking in 2 days

My two daughters, ages 5 and 7, had sucked their fingers from birth. We used this stuff for about 2-4 days. That was it! Never again since (its been about a month).
Awesome -- I highly recommend it
I am VERY impressed.

My daughter is almost 4 and her thumb sucking was getting worse. I bought this stuff and used it once and she stopped sucking her thumb, even while she slept. It wore off in a few days and she figured that out and fell off the wagon for one day but then the next time I put it on she really seemed to understand and that was 2 weeks ago and she hasn't sucked her thumb once and we haven't had to re-apply at all. She was starting to get a bad over-bite and her thumb was so hard and callused, it was gross. I am very thankful for this product. I didn't think she would ever be able to stop. She has sucked her thumb while sleeping since she was born and she was starting to do it while she was awake too so I knew something had to be done to save her gross thumb and especially her teeth.
Worked very well on my 2 year old to stop thumb sucking

We tried several different approaches to get my 2 yr old to stop her thumb sucking and the "Thum" brand. They did not work. MAVALA worked very well and after applying it for 2 weeks, my duaghter stopped her thumb sucking. It however needed to be applied daily and sometimes twice a day because of frequent hand washing.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter was an avid thumbsucker, and we had tried everything short of a guard or an orthodontic appliance. Skeptically, we bought the Mavala as a last ditch effort. Within two weeks (applying every other day) she had broken the habit all together! We are sharing this product with our friends and doctors!
Great Product!

I ordered this product for my 19 month old daughter. She was constantly sucking her thumb. Within two weeks, she stopped the thumb sucking completely. I only had to apply the polish for about 10 days.
Didn't work for us

The first night my 5 year old son really hated the taste. He tried to suck it off and ignore it, but kept gagging and eventually threw up his dinner. After two days, he got used to the taste even if I applied it daily. It's an inexpensive option to try first though. The reviews show it worked for some kids.
MAVALA Stop is a must have!

This product really works. I have a four year old who has sucked her thumb since birth. It took less then a week for her to stop sucking her thumb.
I am a real parent and these are true statements. MAVALA Stop is a must have!
Worked after just two applications

We tried another brand, Thum, because it was found in the local drugstore and I didn't want to pay shipping and handling fees. However, after using it for 2 weeks we were still unsuccessful in getting my daughter to stop sucking her thumb so we ordered Stop and after only 2 applications she quit sucking her thumb. It has a really bad bitter taste which sticks with you for awhile. I would definitely recommend it as it worked wonders for us!

This product did not work for us at all! The first day she did not suck her fingers. After that it was like she got used to the product - no matter how thick or often I would apply it.

Does the job, as long as you keep applying it.

I've been a nailbiter for almost 40 years. It's become a subconscious nasty habit. Finally decided to end it, have tried other products ("no-thumb") that didn't work as well. So far after three weeks it's been working, but because my habit is so ingrained I need to keep applying it every day. Would recommend this product.
Did not work for me

My 4 1/2 year old daughter is a serious thumb sucker and this was my last hope before getting the dental appliance. It worked for the first 1 1/2 days but after that she just kept sucking it off. I was applying it 2 times a day and it did not deter her. I must admit it tastes AWFUL but that did not seem to stop her. I put it on the first night when she was sleeping and she woke up early in the morning about 5:00 am crying that she had a nasty taste in her mouth. The remainder of that day she did really well and part of the next day but after that it was all over. I was really hoping it would help so she will be getting the Bluegrass appliance this week.
