    It's Working!
    I bought this for my 12 year old son to hopefully help him stop biting his nails. As long as he remembers to apply it (or I remind him!) it works!!

    It Worked!
    I wish I had known this products earlier. My 4-year-old son was a heavy thumb sucker. He knew it was a bad habbit, but he just couldnt stop it. I found this at the web site and decided to give it a try. The first night was hard! The poor boy couldnt sleep at all, but the second day, he stopped sucking his thumb just like that. I cant believe how fast it worked.

    I Can See My Boy's Nails Growing Again, Thank You Mavala!
    This product is magnificent!!!My son was biting his nails for months, and I decided to try Mavala STOP. He re-started biting his nails a few times, but our persistance was worth it. I kept applying over again and explained that we must continue with it until he kicks the habbit by simply forgetting to put his fingers into his mouth.I have not applied the polish on his nails for weeks now and he seems to find other activity to busy himself with, rather than biting his nails. I would greatly recommend this product to anybody with such problem.What a happines to see my boys nails grow again and have something to clip :).

    Works!
    Its a very effective deterrent. Tastes horrible and looks nice. The only issue is that yo must apply it every day, because it wears off when you shower.

    Worth The Money!
    My three year old son was a thumb sucker. I was looking for ways to get him to stop. I came accross Malava Stop, and thought it would be worth a shot. I had noticed on another review that the Mom warned her son that as he grew older, his thumb would taste bad. When the product arrived, I tried it first to see how bad it was. I thought it just tasted bitter, but not offensive. I then put it on my oldest sons thumb and he asked his brother to try his thumb. My youngest did not like it. The next day when my youngest son was taking a nap I put some Malava Stop on all of his nails just in case. He woke up and said my thumb taste bad. I only had to put the product on him a few more times. My son hasnt thought about his thumb in months. In my opinion this product is well worth the investment.

    This Stuff Definately Works
    Ive been biting my nails for almost 25 years with little luck in stopping. I got this stuff and it definately works very well. It is terrible. The taste lingers, its quite a punishment. Ive been clean for about 6 weeks now and have actually had to start clipping my fingernails.

    Did Not Work, Has Not Worked Since.....
    Maybe she is too young (18 months). After application, she immediately stuck her thumb into her mouth. I looked at her face for any reaction and she was totally oblivious of the taste. We have given it a break, we will try doing it again in a week or two. In order to submit this post, I had to rate, I marked poor. After the next couple of tries, I will give the real rating of the product.

    Worked For A Couple Of Days
    I bought this for my 3 year old son whose thumb-sucking is already causing dental problems. We had tried the persuasion and the reward system but that did not work. After putting this on his nail the first time, it started working. He didnt suck his thumb for two days. I followed the instructions by using it every other day, but by the third day, he was use to it and started sucking his thumb again. I tried applying it everyday and even 2 or 3 coats, but it didnt stop him. He had just gotten use to the bitter taste and went right back to sucking his thumb. I waited a couple of weeks and tried it again, but it didnt phase him. I dont know if it was the product or my strong-willed little boy, but he is still sucking his thumb.
