How to Measure up a Finger Guard for Kids
It’s really easy to measure up for a finger guards for kids – we even offer five different sizes. Each Thumbsie® finger guard is handmade and designed to help stop finger sucking.
Our finger guards fit over two fingers either the middle and the index finger or the middle and the ring finger.
Please use the diagram below and measure from the middle finger to the bend in the wrist as shown. Please ensure that you take care when measuring to get a good fit.
Our finger guards are available in five different sizes. When ordering your fabric pattern please select one of the following:
| Size | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Small | 3.3 - 3.6 | 8.4 - 9.2 |
| Small | 3.6 - 4.2 | 9.2 - 10.6 |
| Medium | 4.2 - 4.7 | 10.6 - 11.9 |
| Large | 4.7 - 5.1 | 11.9 - 13.1 |
| Extra Large | 5.1 - 5.7 | 13.1 - 14.5 |
Get your child to choose from our fun selection of fabrics. We recommend buying three for each hand they suck.
If you need the finger guard to be a little bigger then please order a bespoke finger guard.
All finger guards are secured by Velcro® around the wrist which helps make the child feel more independent but also means that no matter the size of their wrist, they should feel comfortable as they can be adjusted.
When measuring for a Thumbsie® finger guard, please bear in mind that the product will fit either hand. We recommend your child wears the guard all the time, both day and night. For this reason, we suggest that you have three for each hand that they suck. We highly recommend our Stop Finger Sucking Bundles which will save money.

We are now using our Thumbsie's a second time around! We bought them to help our first daughter stop sucking her thumb when she was around 4 years of age, and have just bought some more to help our 3 year old daughter stop sucking her thumb. Both girls have loved the designs and getting involved in choosing the fabrics they like. I have found that using the Thumbsie's in combination with a reward chart has been a winning combination for us.

Worked a treat, I only bought one and combined with a bribe of a hamster; my five year old daughter broke her habit in 2 week.One week of wearing the thumbsie then taking it off to go to sleep then one week of wearing it through the night - earning 7 stars to a hamster.Combined with a good strategy, and letting your child pick their fave design - highly effective!

Our son has suckled his thumbs from a very young age. Now nearly 4 we wanted to tackle this before school and our son had told us about a friend from nusery who was using Thumbsies. Our son was so excited and wanted to try them we jumped on it, even though they were not the cheapest option. We got our son to look at and pick which designs he liked and as he sucks both thumbs brought the bundle pack of 6. He wore them non stop for the first week and has made such great progress in such a short space of time and has completely stopped sucking his thumbs.Great product and would highly recommend, certainly seeing other children with them helped our little one and also made what I thought would be a very stressful and difficult transition easy. Thank you

We bought the thumbsie after our attempts at discouraging thumb sucking had been unsuccessful- within a couple of weeks of wearing at night our daughter’s thumb almost completely healed up from being very sore and calloused. Only need to put it on occasionally now as a reminder. I love that it’s safe to wear at night and our daughter loved picking out her favourite design. Thanks thumbsie!

I was dreading the trip to the dentist with my daughter, knowing we were going to be told again that her thumb sucking habit was causing issues with her teeth. I found Thumbsie online and thought it was worth a try…. It took just one night of wearing it and she stopped!!! Like magic!! We continued to put on every evening for about a month- but whenever I went to check on her - she was always sound asleep and without thumb in mouth! The bright colours and sticker chart meant my daughter was equally as excited to use the Thumbsie and she didn’t complain once. Thank you for this brilliant product and making quitting the habit so easy for my daughter!! Highly recommended!

The only thing to work! I tried Thumbsie after my dentist warned my 10 year old daughter’s teeth were protruding due to her nighttime thumb sucking habit. Thumbsie stopped this immediately after trying plasters, gloves and nail paint for years to no avail! I also bought one for her 4 year old sister who loved wearing it as it was so pretty and comfortable - another success before her adult teeth were affected. If only I had found Thumbsie sooner for her sister!!

We are delighted with how fast Thumbsie worked with our 9-year old daughter, Julia. Julia had been sucking her thumb since she was 2 years old and we tried anything to help her stop, but with no result. We came across Thumbsie by chance whilst surfing the internet for a solution. Julia read all the stories of other children and decided to go for it. Three weeks later she had completely stopped sucking her thumb! We would definitely recommend Thumbsie to other parents. Thank you so much. Fran

We love thumbsie! Not only was delivery fast and free, but the products are incredible! So many cute and funky designs which made thr whole process even more fun!Having an almost 6 year old who has sucked her thumb since birth, I thought I would never break the habit, but 2 weeks of wearing the thumbsie, she hasn't sucked her thumb even once!Thank you so much!

My daughter has been wearing her Thumbsie’s for just over a week and I am amazed with her progress, I was expecting meltdowns at bedtimes but she has fallen asleep and stayed asleep with no thumb sucking at all. Sheis 7 years old and has sucked her thumb her whole life, we are both worried about the damage thumb sucking will do now she has her adult teeth so she agreed to give them a go. She is now so excited to go back to school next week and show of all the lovely designs!

It was difficult in the beggining for my daughter to have it on. She is 4 years old and she know how to take it off. But with conversation about it, gentle persuasion we managed to keep it on for couple of hours every day. We have some success with it and we will keep going.

My daughter is 5 & following a visit to the dentist we were advised that it was time for her to stop sucking her thumb to protect her teeth.She has sucked her thumb since birth & even in the womb & she was still sucking it to go to sleep.I was immediately worried about her teeth but the thumbsie has alleviated all my fears. We are 2 weeks in & there has been no thumb sucking at all. It's amazing!We picked the designs together, bought a star chart & off we went. The product is a winner for us, pure & simple genius that really does work.

Our son started sucking his thumb to self- soothe when he was about 3 years old. He was also sucking his thumb when watching TV. Constant reminders, special bitter gel on his nails didn't make any difference. I was getting really worried that his teeth will be affected. And then when he was 4 years old, I came across Thumbsies. My son chose three different designs. We bought the reward chart too, but to be perfectly honest, we didn't need it all because from the moment we put thumbsies on, our son stopped sucking his thumbs. It was nearly like magic. He didn't need any additional rewards or incentives because he was very proud of himself for being a "big boy" and not sucking his thumbs any more. Initially he wore them all the time, but now he only needs them when watching TV and for bedtime. It is a really brilliant product and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Ordered 2 of these as our 3 year old son sucked his thumb at night subconsciously and started from since before he was born, so we thought the habit was impossible to break. After visiting the dentist and finding our he was already pushing his teeth out of line, we tried everything we could to break the habit, all with no joy until we found Thumbsie’s. He now won’t sleep without them, he loved the reward chart and stopped sucking straight away! Thank you so much, literally the best purchase we could have made.

Our son had decided he wanted to stop sucking his fingers (5.5yrs old). The finger guard worked perfectly for him. He wore it 24/7 for a few days, then just at night, then eventually decided he didn't need it at all. It worked perfectly for him! I think the main thing is making sure the child wants to do it and buys into wearing it to get the results quickly!Highly recommend.

I ordered 2 thumbsies for my daughter, who is 7. We tried absolutely everything to get her to stop sooking her fingers with no success. She sooked them from the day she was born and as a result they are now bent.After a number of weeks using her beautiful thumbsies, that she picked herself, she now doesn’t sook her fingers anymore. Even at night without it in, the fingers don’t automatically go in.Thank you so much. This has made such a massive different to us, as we were so worried about her bending fingers.

I was sceptical about the effectiveness of using a thumb guard - but it has been working! My son was constantly sucking his thumb and it was getting to be such a drain to keep asking him to stop. I was growing quite concerned about his teeth. Very pleased I gave it a try!

I have twins (boy girl) and a few weeks ago, before they turned 3, I bought 2 thumsies for my girl. I let her choose them online, she opened the packages when it arrived, and she will not go to bed without it. She loves it, which means we love it.She still sucks her thumb if for some reason she goes to bed without it. However she’s stopped sucking when she’s just chilling watching cartoons for example.She also does not need to suck to fall asleep anymore. She just does it in the middle of the night. (We can hear it - it’s as loud as Maggie Simpson)Anyway - the review. It’s a brilliant product, simple, cute, effective. I bought two, so we can wash one whilst she uses the other. The stars chart is useful too and she loves the idea of adding a new star every morning.Definitely recommend this approach and product. We’re all pleased about this and have passed on details to a couple friends who have kids same age, still sucking.Just buy this. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful product! Fantastic Customer service. We were so excited to discover the thumbsie when searching on line for ideas on how to help my daughter stop sucking her thumb. She loved choosing the designs and was excited to wear it. We also purchased a chart with stickers and that gave her extra encouragement. Highly recomended.

Great idea and very good choice of fabrics that got my 7 year old son excited about the whole prospect of giving up something the loves! Good fast friendly service. It is still early days on whether it will work for eddy but so far so good and it's been a much entter experience than using the 'stop nail chewing' ointment that he hated. Thank you!

A friend recommended a Thumbsie to me, after I expressed concerns about my daughter’s thumb sucking and direction of teeth growth.I was sceptical as was sure she’d either rip it off or suck the material. I was pleasantly surprised that she did neither! She is only two and a half!She likes to chose the design she wears, along with her outfits! This morning we were at a music class and she mistook the word ‘drum’ for ‘thumb’ and proceeded to go round the circle showing everyone her Thumbsie!They are really working! Super pleased and very happy with the quality and designs.Thanks Thumbsie!

I purchased some off-the-shelf and bespoke thumb guards. Jo was really patient and helpful in making sure the sizing was right for my daughter. She is still very little but her thumb got in a horrible way after sucking it so much so I used these to stop her from sucking it during her awake playing time. Her thumb healed completely. So much better than plasters etc which irritated her thumb further. Fun choice of fabrics. The book is a great idea too.

My 4 year old is EXTREMELY stubborn and was hesitant to even put the thumbsie on but once she did she looooved it! We are still in the early stages but now she asks to put it on and loves to show it off. I just ordered a second one at her request! I’m so hopeful this will work for us!

I'm a 27 year old woman who hasn't kicked the habit of sucking her thumb....embarrassing I know. During the first lockdown in March 2020, I decided to do something about it and I came across Thumbsie. I'm fully aware that these are designed for children but I ordered one anyway to try and it fit! So for the last year and a bit, I've worn it on a night time and it has really helped me. Today I have bought two more. I'm glad I researched and found them. Fingers crossed, I won't need to wear it forever but if I do they are perfect for what I need! Thank you 🙂

I bought several thumbsies for our 3 year old daughter. At first she found it weird, then interesting , then fun. It was a game changer . She sucks both her index and middle fingers and we were concerned about her teeth. First we started to use it at the nursery and at night then only during the day. She still does it especially when she is tired however it really helped to break the habit . I recommend you try it.

My 3 year old has been a thumb sucker from birth, I found thumbsies on Google and after seeing such good reviews ordered 2 of them one for each thumb. These have been absolutely great to discourage her thumb sucking habit and it's great you can have sizes from young age to older children, only downfall was that they are velcro fastenings so my girl pulled them off at night so I managed to attach buttons and now she's no longer able to take them off, without these I wouldn't of known what else I could do to kick the thumb sucking habit!!

Great product. This has made a big difference to my daughter sucking her thumb whilst asleep and she actually likes wearing it. We ordered the wrong size so I got in touch with Jo who exchanged it for a different size with no issues. Brilliant customer service. Highly recommended.

I was sceptical about the effectiveness of using a thumb guard - but it has been working! My son was constantly sucking his thumb and it was getting to be such a drain to keep asking him to stop. I was growing quite concerned about his teeth. Very pleased I gave it a try!

This worked a treat for our 8 year old son who couldn't stop sucking his thumb whilst sleeping. The Thumbsie helped him stop straight away.

I have twins (boy girl) and a few weeks ago, before they turned 3, I bought 2 thumsies for my girl. I let her choose them online, she opened the packages when it arrived, and she will not go to bed without it. She loves it, which means we love it.She still sucks her thumb if for some reason she goes to bed without it. However she’s stopped sucking when she’s just chilling watching cartoons for example.She also does not need to suck to fall asleep anymore. She just does it in the middle of the night. (We can hear it - it’s as loud as Maggie Simpson)Anyway - the review. It’s a brilliant product, simple, cute, effective. I bought two, so we can wash one whilst she uses the other. The stars chart is useful too and she loves the idea of adding a new star every morning.Definitely recommend this approach and product. We’re all pleased about this and have passed on details to a couple friends who have kids same age, still sucking.Just buy this. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful product! Fantastic Customer service. We were so excited to discover the thumbsie when searching on line for ideas on how to help my daughter stop sucking her thumb. She loved choosing the designs and was excited to wear it. We also purchased a chart with stickers and that gave her extra encouragement. Highly recomended.

Great idea and very good choice of fabrics that got my 7 year old son excited about the whole prospect of giving up something the loves! Good fast friendly service. It is still early days on whether it will work for eddy but so far so good and it's been a much entter experience than using the 'stop nail chewing' ointment that he hated. Thank you!

A friend recommended a Thumbsie to me, after I expressed concerns about my daughter’s thumb sucking and direction of teeth growth.I was sceptical as was sure she’d either rip it off or suck the material. I was pleasantly surprised that she did neither! She is only two and a half!She likes to chose the design she wears, along with her outfits! This morning we were at a music class and she mistook the word ‘drum’ for ‘thumb’ and proceeded to go round the circle showing everyone her Thumbsie!They are really working! Super pleased and very happy with the quality and designs.Thanks Thumbsie!

I purchased some off-the-shelf and bespoke thumb guards. Jo was really patient and helpful in making sure the sizing was right for my daughter. She is still very little but her thumb got in a horrible way after sucking it so much so I used these to stop her from sucking it during her awake playing time. Her thumb healed completely. So much better than plasters etc which irritated her thumb further. Fun choice of fabrics. The book is a great idea too.

My 4 year old is EXTREMELY stubborn and was hesitant to even put the thumbsie on but once she did she looooved it! We are still in the early stages but now she asks to put it on and loves to show it off. I just ordered a second one at her request! I’m so hopeful this will work for us!

I'm a 27 year old woman who hasn't kicked the habit of sucking her thumb....embarrassing I know. During the first lockdown in March 2020, I decided to do something about it and I came across Thumbsie. I'm fully aware that these are designed for children but I ordered one anyway to try and it fit! So for the last year and a bit, I've worn it on a night time and it has really helped me. Today I have bought two more. I'm glad I researched and found them. Fingers crossed, I won't need to wear it forever but if I do they are perfect for what I need! Thank you 🙂

I bought several thumbsies for our 3 year old daughter. At first she found it weird, then interesting , then fun. It was a game changer . She sucks both her index and middle fingers and we were concerned about her teeth. First we started to use it at the nursery and at night then only during the day. She still does it especially when she is tired however it really helped to break the habit . I recommend you try it.

It only took 2 weeks and my baby girl completely stopped sucking her thumb! Really thought it was gonna be harder to curb the habit but couldn’t be any happier with the quick results.

My 3 year old has been a thumb sucker from birth, I found thumbsies on Google and after seeing such good reviews ordered 2 of them one for each thumb. These have been absolutely great to discourage her thumb sucking habit and it's great you can have sizes from young age to older children, only downfall was that they are velcro fastenings so my girl pulled them off at night so I managed to attach buttons and now she's no longer able to take them off, without these I wouldn't of known what else I could do to kick the thumb sucking habit!!
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.
