## Overview

Dr Thumb is a clinically tested, silicone thumb guard designed for children aged 3-7 to safely and comfortably break the thumb sucking habit. With a 92% success rate in as little as two weeks, it uses an innovative airflow design to eliminate the sucking sensation without harsh chemicals or discomfort. The adjustable straps and included storage case make it a practical, parent-friendly solution.

## Description

What's included in the box?  One (1) Dr Thumb guard, Two (2) adjustable straps, One (1) storage case, One (1) user guide   Will I need one for each thumb?  If your child predominantly sucks just one thumb, our research has shown that it is unlikely they will begin sucking the other thumb after putting on the guard. If however, your child sucks their right and left thumbs interchangeably showing little to no preference between the two - then you should consider two guards to break the habit.   Not too sure which size to get?  If your child is between sizes and after measuring their thumb you're still in two minds; to ensure maximum comfort we would always recommend the larger size.

## Features

- Dr Thumb offers a simple, safe and effective aid for kicking the thumb sucking habit. Takes as little as 2 weeks, has a 92% success rate and involves absolutely no nasty tasting nail polish!
- Clinical trials offer Dr Thumb a 92% success rate with the habit broken in as little as 2 weeks. There is nothing more effective at breaking the habit than Dr Thumb.
- Made from soft non toxic silicone, Dr Thumb fits over and securely fastens to the thumb of either hand. It does not restrict the child's ability to play or cause any discomfort.
- Available in two sizes; Small to fit from 12-36 months and Large for those aged between 3 and 7 years.
- Dr Thumb works by breaking the vacuum created when sucking a thumb. Ensuring a small gap between the child's thumb and the guard, it allows air to flow making it impossible to suck. Whilst the child will still be able to put their thumb in their mouth, not having that 'sucking sensation' will remove the pleasure of the habit. The habit is broken naturally and gently.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with one or two guards?**
A: It only comes with 1 guard. I wish they gave you an option and discount for 2. They work great for the thumb they are on. I am going to have to purchase a 2nd.

**Q: Does it come with 2 ( one for each thumb) or is it just one ?**
A: I wish it came with two. It comes with only one, but it fits both right or left. My daughter is 3 years old. She completely destroyed the silicone band.

**Q: How do you stop a 19 month old from sucking his thumb without a "gadget?"**
A: Gadgets didn't  work for my child.  If I had it to do over I would've let him suck a pacifier simply because you can take it away gradually.  The thumb/finger is always in arms reach!!

**Q: Can this be used for any other finger like index finger?**
A: No, it can be used only for thumb.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works - 10 days in total. Impressed.
*by M***R on 12 February 2014*

Our son had sucked his thumb from day dot. At first we didn't really think much of it especially as seemed to calm him so well.As he got older though, he seemed to be sucking his thumb more and more, and it was beginning to effect his personality. He appeared less confident, more reserved, content in just sitting sucking his thumb rather than playing with his friends. After he turned 2, he was clearly far behind other children his age with his speech and it was obvious why.We initially tried positive encouragement and reward charts to try and dissuade him and then rather reluctantly tried the foul tasting nail varnish. Both had little success. After `googling' for other ideas we came across Dr Thumb. It was very much a hesitant purchase given the price and lack of reviews/information online, but we decided to take a punt.He wasn't overly keen on wearing it at first as this certainly wasn't a habit he wanted to give up. There were tears the first night and we had our doubts this would work. We eventually explained to him that by sucking his thumb he had stopped it from growing and that by wearing the `special' guard it would help it grow again and catch up with the other thumb! The next morning he was completely fine with it. In total it took 10 days of wearing 24/7 to completely break a habit he had for years.We used to take it off at meal and bath times and he never complained about putting it back on. No tears (apart from day 1!) and no dramas - just 10 days in total and he'd cracked it.Considering how he was, it seems almost a miracle to see him watch TV or read him a story without his thumb in his mouth. Simple concept that worked very well. If you can persevere through just 1 day/night of tears then I am sure this will work for you too. Recommended.

### ⭐ My son literally ate his way out of this!
*by R***L on 16 May 2016*

My son literally ate his way out of this within 5 days. This was my last report! Instead of stopping him the guard just encrouged him to chew it. This is a perfect product for a child who loves to chew, nibble, suck on things!!!!! I'm at a loss on where to go from here. Even his dentist is shocked. A complete waste of money.The thumb is way to easy to splip out as well. It's easy for a child to continue to have sneaky thumb sucking sessions when not looking.If your child is a serious thumb sucker I'd give a wide berth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really works
*by N***I on 16 May 2015*

I was sceptical about this working however my 6 yr old was desperate to stop sucking her thumb so we tried it. She had it on for 2 weeks day & night even when she was at school. It didn't hinder her writing & the teachers were very supportive. On the third week she stopped wearing it for school & now just wears it on a night and it has worked, I have not seen her suck her thumb once. I noticed that she was chewing the side of the guard a lot while she was wearing it so was concerned that as soon as the guard was removed she would start sucking her thumb again but she hasn't. I would highly recommend this but do think that your child needs to want to stop as my daughter could slip her thumb out without removing the guard. I could have put it on tighter but it left marks on her wrist & was uncomfortable for her to wear & I didn't want this. All in all very pleased & would recommend.
