So delighted that in October 2019 we won Best Consumer Business at the Best Business Women Awards, such a great achievement to be recognised at these National awards.
Debbie Gilbert, organiser of The Best Business Women Awards said ‘This is the 5th year of these prestigious awards. We were delighted with the number of entries this year, which came in from all over the UK. This is a tough competition judged by business experts.
The judges commented that the Best Consumer Business category had very strong competition, adding, ‘Here is a very unique business which identified a gap in the market and is very successful on so many levels. This business gets the thumbs up.’
Just a month later, whilst still on cloud 9, we won Innovation of the Year at the Dental Industry Awards, and were absolutely over the moon that our thumb sucking solution has been recognised within the dental industry. The Dental Industry Awards is the only celebration in the UK to acknowledge and reward achievements within the dental industry and is run in association with The BDIA (British Dental Industry Association).
2020 has been a challenging year for all of us, and it’s been strange attending awards ceremonies online! However we were delighted to hear that we won Best Product of the Year in the Family Network National Awards, And Silver in Made in the UK and Overall Best Business in the Best Business Women Awards 2020, which makes us incredibly proud in such uncertain times.
In 2021 we were crowned with Silver for Innovation of the Year at the Made For Mums Award. These awards are rigorously tested by parents. Sarah, mum of 4, praised the accompanying story book and reward chart, which helped her youngest daughter. And most importantly, it worked.
“My daughters have cut down the amount they suck their thumbs significantly and my oldest daughter has stopped altogether. I am confident that all of my children will have stopped in the next few weeks.”
2023 has been an amazing year for Thumbsie®, our wins include: Most Innovative Children’s Handmade Dental Product in the Southern Enterprise Awards, Best Children’s Health Solution Manufacturer in the Business Awards UK, Award Of Excellence for Family run, leading provider of Thumb and Finger Guards, Small Business of the Year in the Business Awards UK and Health & Wellbeing Businesswoman of the Year in the Business Awards UK. Thumbsie Ltd also celebrate over 10 years in business.
Then on November 21st at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Jo was awarded Maker & Creator for South East at The Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards. The ceremony was attended by over 1400 business entrepreneurs and hosted by Lynne Evans (better know from the Go Compare advert). The awards are judged by a panel of some of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, including the founders of Specsavers, Poundland, and Innocent.

I can’t believe how quickly and painlessly the thumbsies worked. We used a sticker chart for every day she kept them on and in under a week she was able to have the thumbsies off during the day and has stopped thumb sucking completely. No tears at all. Amazingly effective.

My daughter has sucked her index and middle fingers since she was born and I had no idea how to break the habit. We purchased both a Thumbsie and the book, and began reading the story most days. Before long my daughter was asking me if she could wear her Thumbsie. Even now she has given up she still occasionally asks to wear it. Thank you Thumbsie!

I have been blown away by my son using his Thumbsie "finger sock" whilst he sleeps. He hasn't sucked his finger since the day he started wearing it and we are now nearly a month later. It's incredible the progress he has made at only 2.5 years old. A super simple, yet so effective, idea.

We first tried thumbsies a when my daughter was 3, it quickly became apparent that she wasn't ready. Having now turned 5 my daughter said she wanted to stop, so we gave it another go. This time it was smooth sailing and I think we could probably have stopped the thumbsies within a few days. However we kept them on during the week for about 4 weeks and a night for a few weeks longer until she asked to stop. She's absolutely smashed the finger sucking and as an added bonus has also stopped biting her nails at the same time.

We have bought many thumbsie’s over the last year or so (having lost one or two!) to help our daughter stop sucking her thumb. It has been an absolute game-changer and the has been the only way she has been able to stop! Really great product and worth every penny!
Zoe Smith

My 13 year old daughter is using these. She has decided to try and stop sucking her thumb due to an orthodontist telling her she will be unable to have braces and she would benefit from these. She sucks her thumb for sensory reasons and when anxious and sucks for many hours a day. She has found them okay to wear, and this a really big thing for her, but just removes them to suck her thumb or doesn't put one on. We may buy more to be able to have more in handy places to put on, and would recommend them.
Sally Hunter
11:19 15 Mar 24
My daughter really didn't want to wear a thumb guard but being able to choose a design she liked, something that Thumbsie offers, helped her get around to the idea. The products are very well made out of soft material. They wash well. They are easy to take on and off but have enough velcro to make it difficult for my daughter to take them off in her sleep. The velcro helps them fit well so they don't just slip off like other elasticated ones do. They came pretty quick too. I would definitely recommend them and would buy again if I needed to.

Excellent service. We ordered a cat print thumbsie but sadly the fabric had gone out of stock. They got in touch to let me know and suggested a different cat fabric they did have (my little girl preferred!) She has used it for around 4-6 weeks now and it has totally cured her day time thumb sucking so no longer wears it. We have not yet tackled night time yet but planning to soon!

I was sceptical about how these would work as my daughter has sucked her thumb since she was a tiny baby. She showed absolutely no signs of stopping, and she’s now 5, and would need to suck her thumb to get to sleep and whenever she was in the car or watching TV. After just a week of wearing the thumbsie overnight she has totally stopped!! At all times of the day. Honestly so impressed!

My daughter sucked her thumb night and day. Having seen pictures of what it can do to your mouth as it grows, and being able to choose her favourite designs for a thumbsie (panda, fairy and love hearts), once the thumbsie was on she stopped sucking her thumb immediately, even at night. The reward chart enabled her to get something special after a week of not sucking, and the book enabled her to be proud of wearing it. The thumbsie was enough to remind her to not put it in her mouth without resorting to nasty chemicals. She is much more communicative now, and after wearing her thumbsies for 24 hours a day for a couple of weeks and then only at nights for a month or two, she now doesn't need to wear it at all and has completely stopped. Total success - thanks to thumbsie. We have recommended to several other parents.

Excellent product, amazed how easy it made our journey. Our 4 year old stopped sucking her thumb within 2-3 weeks and loved wearing her Thumbsie and the cool prints. Would 100% recommend!

My 6 year old daughter sucked two fingers from about three weeks old. Her dentist told her she must stop! We ordered a set of three Thumsies (for fingers) in March and initially used them in the day time at times when the fingers would go in. They were lovely quality and the pretty fabric meant my daughter liked to choose which one to put on. After a couple of weeks using the Thumsies and the star chart she broke the day time habit. Night time was definitely harder and there were a few nights when the Thumsie had to come off. It got easier and after 6 weeks or so the Thumsie was really just there as a reminder. It’s now July and we are Thumsie and finger-sucking free! A great result!

I'm still shocked at how well this product worked for our 3 year old daughter, even after reading all the great reviews myself. I'll be honest, when they arrived I thought 'how will this work, she'll just undo the velcro?' But she didnt; she was excited about her thumbsie's and there was no fuss at not having her thumb at bedtime (shocker!). The reward chart helped too. It took about 2 weeks until she didnt need to wear them during the day. We've now removed them at bedtime also and her thumb does not appear to be creeping back into her mouth. Thank you Thumbsie!
Rob Hill

Amazing. My 4 year old son didn’t want to stop sucking his thumb and we tried everything before trying a Thumbsie. He engaged with his thumbsie straight away and was really proud of it, showing everyone and telling them why he had it. He hasn’t sucked his thumb now for over a month.

Absolutely fabulous! We purchased a thumbsie as a last ditch attempt to curve our son's thumb sucking after 8 years of trying everything else on the market with no luck...they are so soft, gorgeously designed and after only 3 weeks, completely stopped the thumb sucking! We just wish we'd purchased sooner - literally couldn't recommend any higher! Thank you so much team thumbsie!
Avi Lambez

Thank you so much! We tried everything. nothings worked. My 5 years old girl really really attached to her thumbs. Thanks to you, she is 6 months suck-free. we are so grateful!!!

I decided to try Thumbsie to help my 5 year old stop sucking her thumb, following a recommendation from our dentist. She had sucked her thumb day and night from 3 months old. My daughter loved the Thumbsies, and enjoyed the attention they got at school. After just a few days of wearing them day and night I could see an improvement, and after 3 weeks we were amazed to find she had completely stopped sucking her thumb! It's now been several months and she has not sucked her thumb at all. This is an amazing and gentle product that really works, I can't recommend it highly enough. The service was also excellent.

My 4 year old son began wearing Thumbsies 2 months ago, after 6 weeks we moved to just wearing on a night, now we have even been able to stop that. He now does not even try to put his thumb near! Could not recommend this product enough.

Well, she stopped using her thumb! The glove really helped, along with her maturity on the subject. She understood and accepted well, and she sleeps wonderfully with them. We choose the bailarina design and she absolutely loved it.

A great product which was recommended by the dental hospital where my 13 year son is attending for his braces. He was told he couldn't have the treatment unless he stopped sucking his thumb which is something he has done since being a baby. This product has completely stopped him and even better for us, he is happy to wear it at night. Highly recommended 👌

Amazing product! Our son stopped sucking his thumb immediately when we tried these and is so proud to show them off to his friends. Such a worthwhile investment but worth noting that he was very much ready to stop sucking.

This method helped my little girl, we got to the stage were her teeth were being affected from thumb sucking, becoming inverted and wobbly. So we invested in a thumbsie. She picked her design was so excited when it arrived, putting it on straight away, which wasn’t long after we ordered it. The delivery time was excellent. We charted her success daily. She absolutely loved it. So proud of herself daily. We’re now thumbsie and thumb sucking free, we’re so thankful. 🥰😊. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you’re having trouble. She absolutely loved receiving her certificate also, I had the happiest and proudest little girl ever! Thank you x

Excellent customer service when getting the correct items to begin our journey.This product has worked where others have failed. Two children have stopped sucking their thumb as a result.They loved being able to pick their own pattern. Enjoyed using the reward chart stickers. Felt very grown up being able to choose when they needed to put it on. And the certificate at the end was a lovely touch.Great product and company.

I would recommend these to everyone! We’ve tried everything with our daughter (4), even the bitter polish and she would just lick it off!! We tried Thumbsies and within a few days it was clear that sucking her thumb was no longer her ‘go to’ comfort. They are absolutely worth the money and she asks to put them on now. Great job! Thanks Ellen

She is much more communicative now, and after wearing her thumbsies for 24 hours a day for a couple of weeks and then only at nights for a month or two, she now doesn't need to wear it at all and has completely stopped. Total success - thanks to thumbsie. We have recommended to several other parents.

Excellent product, amazed how easy it made our journey. Our 4 year old stopped sucking her thumb within 2-3 weeks and loved wearing her Thumbsie and the cool prints. Would 100% recommend!

My 6 year old daughter sucked two fingers from about three weeks old. Her dentist told her she must stop! We ordered a set of three Thumsies (for fingers) in March and initially used them in the day time at times when the fingers would go in. They were lovely quality and the pretty fabric meant my daughter liked to choose which one to put on. After a couple of weeks using the Thumsies and the star chart she broke the day time habit. Night time was definitely harder and there were a few nights when the Thumsie had to come off. It got easier and after 6 weeks or so the Thumsie was really just there as a reminder. It’s now July and we are Thumsie and finger-sucking free! A great result!

I'm still shocked at how well this product worked for our 3 year old daughter, even after reading all the great reviews myself. I'll be honest, when they arrived I thought 'how will this work, she'll just undo the velcro?' But she didnt; she was excited about her thumbsie's and there was no fuss at not having her thumb at bedtime (shocker!). The reward chart helped too. It took about 2 weeks until she didnt need to wear them during the day. We've now removed them at bedtime also and her thumb does not appear to be creeping back into her mouth. Thank you Thumbsie!

Amazing. My 4 year old son didn’t want to stop sucking his thumb and we tried everything before trying a Thumbsie. He engaged with his thumbsie straight away and was really proud of it, showing everyone and telling them why he had it. He hasn’t sucked his thumb now for over a month.

Absolutely fabulous! We purchased a thumbsie as a last ditch attempt to curve our son's thumb sucking after 8 years of trying everything else on the market with no luck...they are so soft, gorgeously designed and after only 3 weeks, completely stopped the thumb sucking! We just wish we'd purchased sooner - literally couldn't recommend any higher! Thank you so much team thumbsie!

I decided to try Thumbsie to help my 5 year old stop sucking her thumb, following a recommendation from our dentist. She had sucked her thumb day and night from 3 months old. My daughter loved the Thumbsies, and enjoyed the attention they got at school. After just a few days of wearing them day and night I could see an improvement, and after 3 weeks we were amazed to find she had completely stopped sucking her thumb! It's now been several months and she has not sucked her thumb at all. This is an amazing and gentle product that really works, I can't recommend it highly enough. The service was also excellent.

A great product which was recommended by the dental hospital where my 13 year son is attending for his braces.

This product has completely stopped him and even better for us, he is happy to wear it at night. Highly recommended 👌

This method helped my little girl, we got to the stage were her teeth were being affected from thumb sucking, becoming inverted and wobbly. So we invested in a thumbsie. She picked her design was so excited when it arrived, putting it on straight away, which wasn’t long after we ordered it. The delivery time was excellent. We charted her success daily. She absolutely loved it. So proud of herself daily. We’re now thumbsie and thumb sucking free, we’re so thankful. 🥰😊. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you’re having trouble. She absolutely loved receiving her certificate also, I had the happiest and proudest little girl ever! Thank you x

We first tried thumbsies a when my daughter was 3, it quickly became apparent that she wasn't ready. Having now turned 5 my daughter said she wanted to stop, so we gave it another go. This time it was smooth sailing and I think we could probably have stopped the thumbsies within a few days. However we kept them on during the week for about 4 weeks and a night for a few weeks longer until she asked to stop. She's absolutely smashed the finger sucking and as an added bonus has also stopped biting her nails at the same time.

My 13 year old daughter is using these. She has decided to try and stop sucking her thumb due to an orthodontist telling her she will be unable to have braces and she would benefit from these. She sucks her thumb for sensory reasons and when anxious and sucks for many hours a day. She has found them okay to wear, and this a really big thing for her, but just removes them to suck her thumb or doesn't put one on. We may buy more to be able to have more in handy places to put on, and would recommend them.
Sally Hunter

My daughter really didn't want to wear a thumb guard but being able to choose a design she liked, something that Thumbsie offers, helped her get around to the idea. The products are very well made out of soft material. They wash well. They are easy to take on and off but have enough velcro to make it difficult for my daughter to take them off in her sleep. The velcro helps them fit well so they don't just slip off like other elasticated ones do. They came pretty quick too. I would definitely recommend them and would buy again if I needed to.

I was sceptical about how these would work as my daughter has sucked her thumb since she was a tiny baby. She showed absolutely no signs of stopping, and she’s now 5, and would need to suck her thumb to get to sleep and whenever she was in the car or watching TV. After just a week of wearing the thumbsie overnight she has totally stopped!! At all times of the day. Honestly so impressed!

My daughter sucked her thumb night and day. Having seen pictures of what it can do to your mouth as it grows, and being able to choose her favourite designs for a thumbsie (panda, fairy and love hearts), once the thumbsie was on she stopped sucking her thumb immediately, even at night. The reward chart enabled her to get something special after a week of not sucking, and the book enabled her to be proud of wearing it. The thumbsie was enough to remind her to not put it in her mouth without resorting to nasty chemicals. She is much more communicative now, and after wearing her thumbsies for 24 hours a day for a couple of weeks and then only at nights for a month or two, she now doesn't need to wear it at all and has completely stopped.

I was sceptical about how these would work as my daughter has sucked her thumb since she was a tiny baby. She showed absolutely no signs of stopping, and she’s now 5, and would need to suck her thumb to get to sleep and whenever she was in the car or watching TV. After just a week of wearing the thumbsie overnight she has totally stopped!! At all times of the day. Honestly so impressed!

Thumbsies are really well made, come in an attractive range of prints, and most importantly, they work! We've battled a number of options before, but letting our son choose his thumbsies has really helped him adopt them.

After 8 years of thumb sucking and many failed attempts to give up, my daughter finally stopped sucking her thumb after wearing her thumbsie for just 3-4 weeks in the evenings and at night time. Being able to pick her own fabric design was a real plus. A huge thank you!

Have used these for my son and daughter. Very successful for both and the different patterns meant they didn’t mind wearing them. Highly recommend

We love the thumbsies, they're really helping our little one to remember not to put that thumb in her mouth. She's never minded putting them on, thanks to all the fun prints and the special story that came with them. Thanks very much for a simpler solution!

Has helped all 3 of my girls to stop sucking their thumbs. Lovely designs for them to choose from.

My daughter sucked her thumb night and day. Having seen pictures of what it can do to your mouth as it grows, and being able to choose her favourite designs for a thumbsie (panda, fairy and love hearts), once the thumbsie was on she stopped sucking her thumb immediately, even at night. The reward chart enabled her to get something special after a week of not sucking, and the book enabled her to be proud of wearing it. The thumbsie was enough to remind her to not put it in her mouth without resorting to nasty chemicals. She is much more communicative now, and after wearing her thumbsies for 24 hours a day for a couple of weeks and then only at nights for a month or two, she now doesn't need to wear it at all and has completely stopped. Total success - thanks to thumbsie. We have recommended to several other parents.

Excellent product, amazed how easy it made our journey. Our 4 year old stopped sucking her thumb within 2-3 weeks and loved wearing her Thumbsie and the cool prints. Would 100% recommend!

My 6 year old daughter sucked two fingers from about three weeks old. Her dentist told her she must stop! We ordered a set of three Thumsies (for fingers) in March and initially used them in the day time at times when the fingers would go in. They were lovely quality and the pretty fabric meant my daughter liked to choose which one to put on. After a couple of weeks using the Thumsies and the star chart she broke the day time habit. Night time was definitely harder and there were a few nights when the Thumsie had to come off. It got easier and after 6 weeks or so the Thumsie was really just there as a reminder. It’s now July and we are Thumsie and finger-sucking free! A great result!

I'm still shocked at how well this product worked for our 3 year old daughter, even after reading all the great reviews myself. I'll be honest, when they arrived I thought 'how will this work, she'll just undo the velcro?' But she didnt; she was excited about her thumbsie's and there was no fuss at not having her thumb at bedtime (shocker!). The reward chart helped too. It took about 2 weeks until she didnt need to wear them during the day. We've now removed them at bedtime also and her thumb does not appear to be creeping back into her mouth. Thank you Thumbsie!

Amazing. My 4 year old son didn’t want to stop sucking his thumb and we tried everything before trying a Thumbsie. He engaged with his thumbsie straight away and was really proud of it, showing everyone and telling them why he had it. He hasn’t sucked his thumb now for over a month.

Absolutely fabulous! We purchased a thumbsie as a last ditch attempt to curve our son's thumb sucking after 8 years of trying everything else on the market with no luck...they are so soft, gorgeously designed and after only 3 weeks, completely stopped the thumb sucking! We just wish we'd purchased sooner - literally couldn't recommend any higher! Thank you so much team thumbsie!

I decided to try Thumbsie to help my 5 year old stop sucking her thumb, following a recommendation from our dentist. She had sucked her thumb day and night from 3 months old. My daughter loved the Thumbsies, and enjoyed the attention they got at school. After just a few days of wearing them day and night I could see an improvement, and after 3 weeks we were amazed to find she had completely stopped sucking her thumb! It's now been several months and she has not sucked her thumb at all. This is an amazing and gentle product that really works, I can't recommend it highly enough. The service was also excellent.

My 4 year old son began wearing Thumbsies 2 months ago, after 6 weeks we moved to just wearing on a night, now we have even been able to stop that. He now does not even try to put his thumb near! Could not recommend this product enough.

Well, she stopped using her thumb! The glove really helped, along with her maturity on the subject. She understood and accepted well, and she sleeps wonderfully with them. We choose the bailarina design and she absolutely loved it.

A great product which was recommended by the dental hospital where my 13 year son is attending for his braces. He was told he couldn't have the treatment unless he stopped sucking his thumb which is something he has done since being a baby. This product has completely stopped him and even better for us, he is happy to wear it at night. Highly recommended 👌

Amazing product! Our son stopped sucking his thumb immediately when we tried these and is so proud to show them off to his friends. Such a worthwhile investment but worth noting that he was very much ready to stop sucking.

This method helped my little girl, we got to the stage were her teeth were being affected from thumb sucking, becoming inverted and wobbly. So we invested in a thumbsie. She picked her design was so excited when it arrived, putting it on straight away, which wasn’t long after we ordered it. The delivery time was excellent. We charted her success daily. She absolutely loved it. So proud of herself daily. We’re now thumbsie and thumb sucking free, we’re so thankful. 🥰😊. I would definitely recommend giving this a try if you’re having trouble. She absolutely loved receiving her certificate also, I had the happiest and proudest little girl ever! Thank you x

Excellent customer service when getting the correct items to begin our journey.This product has worked where others have failed. Two children have stopped sucking their thumb as a result.They loved being able to pick their own pattern. Enjoyed using the reward chart stickers. Felt very grown up being able to choose when they needed to put it on. And the certificate at the end was a lovely touch.Great product and company.

I would recommend these to everyone! We’ve tried everything with our daughter (4), even the bitter polish and she would just lick it off!! We tried Thumbsies and within a few days it was clear that sucking her thumb was no longer her ‘go to’ comfort. They are absolutely worth the money and she asks to put them on now. Great job! Thanks Ellen

My 10 year old daughter had been sucking her thumb since she was a baby and we had tried numerous ways to get her to stop to no avail. We thought we would try these and within a month she had stopped. Wish we had bought these sooner.

I am Diana and I love the thumbsie product, It had been like 10 days and I have completely stopped.
This product is fantastic! It was so easy to order and my son loved choosing from the wide range of fabrics. It was a very easy way to stop his thumb-sucking.

Bought one for our 4 year old. Well made, fast delivery and friendly communications. It's made the transition to no thumb sucking much smoother than I could have imagined. Highly recommended.
David Cullen
Amazing! The Thumbsie is magic! After only 2 weeks of wearing one all day and night she has now completely stopped. I just wish we had discovered the Thumbsie sooner.
