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. If when your finger guard(s) arrives it is not comfortable, too big or too tight please do not wear it.

Please note that we have recently changed our sizing so if you are a returning customer please make sure you re-measure your child’s hand.

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. If when your finger guard(s) arrives it is not comfortable, too big or too tight please do not wear it.

When measuring for a Thumbsie® finger guard, please bear in mind that the product will fit either hand, and any of the two middle fingers. 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.
