It Works!I used this product on my son 3 1/2 and my daughter 6 1/2. It was recommended to me by a friend. They both never sucked their thumb again. They tried to, but I guess it did not taste so great! The only thing is, about every few days you will have to reapply until they break the habbit for good. But for the most part, it works!posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post -

Worked After 1st ApplictionBoth my daughters, ages 2 1/2 & 4 1/2, sucked their thumbs constantly. They quit the habit on the first day; didnt even suck their thumbs at night! Only 1 or 2 reapplications were necessary in the past month for my younger daughter, none for my 4-year-old. Highly recommended product.posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post -

Punishment In A Bottle.I tried everything, including punishment, such as time out and tape on the fingers, to get my daughter Allyson, almost 4, to stop sucking her thumb. She asked me for help because she wanted to stop sucking her thumb, but couldnt. I ordered Mavala Stop and the day it came in the mail, she volunteered her thumbs right away. It worked the first day! She put her thumb in her mouth and tasted the product on her thumb nail and had to run to the bathroom and spit it out. Three days after we started using it, I have noticed she doesnt even slip and get her thumb in her mouth at all. She has even stopped sucking her thumb in her sleep. I put some on my thumb and tasted it to make sure that it wasnt going to be a taste that she could get used to. It was so gross I had to get up and go to the bathroom to spit and rinse. Getting Mavala Stop in your mouth is enough punishment to make anyone not put their hands in their mouth! This is the best product! I have told all my friends who have thumb suckers, nail biters, and nose pickers!posted Feb 29, 2008Link to this post

Really Works!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 didnt 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.posted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post

A Mouth And Finger SaverMy 4 year old daughter had been sucking her thumb since she was about 6 months old. Adding insult to injury, at about the age of 3 she began biting her nails. We tried every home remedy, nothing worked. I started checking on line for products that might help break her oral fixation habits, I read up on Mavala and thought Id give it a try. We ordered it, used it, and Im happy to report my daughter has been thumb sucking and nail biting free for about 3 weeks. I would recommend that you at least try it. I have certainly seen a difference.posted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post

It's OkWhen 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 didnt care anymore. Now I am thinking about the thumbguard.posted Feb 26, 2008Link to this post -

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 doesnt come off with a couple sucks on the thumb. Despite the taste, my daughter even enjoyed when I applied it to her nails.posted Feb 22, 2008Link to this post

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.posted Feb 21, 2008Link to this post

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! (Its now been a year and a half and hes 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! Shes no longer sucking her fingers. I highly recommend this stuff.posted Feb 18, 2008Link to this post

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 hasnt sucked her thumb once and we havent 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 didnt 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.posted Feb 16, 2008Link to this post
