    This Product Really Works
    I think its a really good product, my daughter stopped sucking her thumb after 16 years and my other daughter stopped after 9 years, but once I stopped putting it on their nails my 9 year old started back, but as long as its on her nails she wont suck her thumb

    Worked In 2 Days!
    My daughter had been sucking her thumb for 4 years. I put this on her thumb before bedtime, and after the second night she had quit sucking her thumb. Its been 3 months now and she has not sucked her thumb. My husband and I were shocked at how well this worked, and VERY pleased with the product.

    Awesome-just What We Needed!
    My daughter, who was 5-1/2, was still sucking her thumb before bed and to comfort herself. After a trip to the dentist which emphasized the damage thumb sucking can do after 4/5, we decided to get serious. Id read some people say that kids will eventually give the thumb up on their own, but it was not happening. I know my husbands cousin had to have a dental appliance inserted at 13 to get her to quit. So I read the reviews on this product and purchased it. I read my daughter a book about quitting habits, told her why she needed to quit and painted MAVALA on her fingernails. WOW! That was the end of thumb sucking for her. She forgot a time or two and when knew as soon as she did because she had just an awful face. Eating food with the hands after they get this stuff on their fingers can taste bad too, so beware. I cant believe a habit that persistent could be so easily cured. THANKS

    After 29 Years, Finally Something That Works!
    This product was my last resort after biting my nails since I was 2... I am 29! I have had acrylic nails to stop from biting and that works but is costly and time consuming. This product has a very unique/bitter/aweful taste that is very hard to get used to or adapt to if you are like me and just sucked the THUM right off your fingers. It was a terrific deterrent and although my nails grew slowly at first, now they even have white around the tips!!! The only draw back is that you have to be careful when eating with your fingers. I found that the product transfered to the top lip even if I wasnt chewing my nails and my husband became an unwilling taste tester any time he leaned in for a kiss. He doesnt mind since he knows it is working so well... but lick your lips and you get it all over again! Good Luck and definitely give this product a try! I even told my Dr. about it cause he had even prescribed meds for this compulsion! This worked 100x better!

    Stopped My 4 Year Olds Thumb Sucking
    This product was excellent in stopping my 4 year old from sucking his thumb. I had tried other products on the market but none of them worked. It last for quite a while also. I did not have to re-apply everyday. He actually like the cooling feeling when I put it on his thumb and took pride in the fact that he wasnt sucking his thumb anymore. He was a night sucker, so he would suck his thumb with out knowing all night. So... I continued to use the product with him for a month just to make sure the habit was broken. Its been a couple of months now and his thumb sucking has completely stopped even at night. THIS PRODUCT WORKS! - for those moms in desperate need of a solution to your childs thumb sucking.

    This Really Works
    Sadly both my sons are nail biters. We have tried bribing and punishing and quite a few ointments. Nothing worked in the longterm. Both agree: this stuff is really nasty! They hate the taste, but they want it on their nails as it really stops them. Actually it has become a joke in school as to who can lick Mavala and not gag- so far no one. Oh, and the good news: they both have nails now. Great product.

    Wow..it Worked
    My pediatrician recommended this to us for my 2 year old daughters thumb sucking habit. We had tried whatever we could and had given up our hopes..and then the miracle happened. We just applied Mavala for a couple of times, and bingo...No more thumb sucking..Thanks a ton to Mavala..

    Worth The Price
    My three year old daughter was sucking her thumb. No convincing and reward system could get her to stop. One application of this product and she was done sucking her thumb. It really helped her to realize when she was putting her thumb in her mouth.
