My 3 year old daughter has been a huge thumb sucker her whole life- I never thought it would be so easy for her to stop- she HATED the taste- we put it on for about 3 days and she hasnt tried to suck her thumb since- its been over a month! I passed it onto a friend and she had the same results- i will probably ask for it back just to paint her thumb every so often- it doenst hurt... my doctor told me about Mavala!!! its the best!!!

This product is amazing. My sister has been biting her nails since before she can remember. Prior to using Mavala she has never had to use a nail clipper in all her life. If you bite your finger nails and you want to stop I would Highly recommend Mavala.
Mavala must buy

My son is 4 years old and I have tried many products and tricks to stop him sucking his finger but this was perfect.
I would definately recommend this before you try anything else.
Mavala Stop - No more thumb sucking, hooray!

After much research on products designed to help my almost 4-year-old son stop sucking his thumb, I settled on Mavala Stop. It worked like a charm from the very first day we tried it out. We used it regularly for about 2 weeks and he's been thumb free for the past 2.5 months. Excellent product - five stars! I only wish I had tried it sooner.

Worked great for our 4 year old. It only took one week for her to stop completely. Highly recommend.
Unbelievable!

I had doubts, it didn't seem possible that any product could help my 4 1/2 year old. She has been a hard core thumb sucker and hasn't fallen asleep without it even once since she was 4 months old. On Day 1 I prepared for the worst and expected at least a week of sleepless nights followed by relapses. However, on the first night she cried for 10 minutes then fell asleep. The following 2 nights she drifted off to sleep while looking at books- no crying. Night 4 and every night since she has had no problems going to sleep, even without books. I think it's safe to say she kicked the habit in one day without looking back! I have only 2 regrets... she no longer sleeps at nap time because she's not sleepy enough to drift off without her thumb, and I regret that I told her she could pierce her ears if she stopped sucking her thumb because I didn't actually think she'd do it so soon, and now I've got to live up to my end of the bargain.
It really works

My 9 1/2 year old daughter, who has sucked her thumb since birth, stopped in 1 day flat. We kept applying it every few days (that's how long it lasts on nails) just in case, but she never put her thumb in her mouth again. I would highly recommend this product. Nothing else worked for us except this, it was like our own little miracle in a bottle.
This product is so awesome.

My baby is two and a half years old and he has been sucking his thumb for over an year severly. After using the product for two times, my baby stopped sucking his thumb which was unbelievable. I highly recommend this product.
AWESOME!

My son is 4, and sucked his thumb from birth. 2 days of using this product, and he was 'cured'! Best money I have spent in a long time. Thank so much!!!
Bitter, but not enough

Mom and 4-y.o. son both gnaw at fingernails. Mom finds the product to be very bitter tasting, even if the polish is ingested indirectly (e.g., mom tastes the sandwich that was held by son who has Mavala on fingernails and tips).
Product works to curtail mom's gnawing of nails, but not the son's; he essentially ignores the product on his fingers.
Wow. This was the last straw, and it worked.

Finally! Tried other products, nothing worked. This is the solution, buy it. Have a second grade boy, constantly has his fingers in his mouth, not a thumb sucker. Even sucks on his shirt sleeves and collar, whatever is available. Now he doesn't do any of these. Great product. Took a few applications, applied it when he was sleeping, dries very quickly.
It worked for us!

It only took 2 days for my son to stop sucking his thumb with "STOP" painted on his thumb. He is 4 1/2 and really WANTED to stop, but just couldn't kick the habit to suck in the car, when watching TV or sleeping. This was just the thing to remind him. I read reviews saying some children complained that it made their finger foods taste bad, so we just painted it on the tops of his thumb and it was plenty to deter the sucking. Good luck!
Mavala Stop!! is wonderful

I turned to this product after my 10 yera old daughter was so frustrated with her thumbsucking that she didn't know what to do anymore. I know 10's a bit old for thumbsucking but hey, we were at the point where we'd try anything. This product worked in two sessions. It is so utterly horrible tasting that she was so worried the taste might linger that she woulnd't put her fingers anywhere near her mouth at all! Its really easy to use, just brush it on the thumbnail. I felt bad when she accidently put her thumb in her mouth. She had a fit but it has helped her stop and that was the important thing for all of us.
great

My daughter is almost 6 and we have tried everything, I mean it. We duct taped, had her wear gloves, tried thumb polish, tobasco, vinegar, bribed, threatened.......but Mavala worked! We put it on every three days for a week or so and she has stopped. It has been several weeks since we stopped and she hasn't sucked even in the middle of the night. It is great! However, I don't think it works for babies. I think the child has to understand what the goal is. I tried it with my 14 mo old and he would taste it, hate it, and then go to his thumb for comfort only to have that yucky taste again, and actually vomited twice so we decided maybe he was not ready for it. But I'm not as stressed about him sucking now because I'm sure we will be able to stop it well before he is 5 like his sister was.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son that was constantly sucking his thumb. After putting it on he was disgusted with the taste. He tried to put his thumb in his mouth maybe 3 or 4 more times and then stopped completely. I stopped putting it on after 4 days and caught him sucking in his sleep. So I put it on 1 more time and I have not seen him even attempting to suck his thumb (after 2 weeks). It's been over 1 week that I put it on and no more sucking thumb!
