I bought these for my 4 year old who has been a self-soothing thumb-sucker since she was a baby. Despite understanding that she needed to stop, it was clearly a habit she was finding hard to break, and as she sucked her thumb when she was tired, it was impossible to 'police' at bedtime etc. This winter her thumbs were getting really sore from the sucking, and I noticed her front teeth had also started moving.That's when I found Thumbsies. I ran the idea by her to help 'protect her thumbs', and she was keen. I showed her all of the patterns and she picked the dinosaur pattern excitedly and we measured her hands. When they arrived, she was proud to wear them and loved the accompanying book and star chart.The first 3-days to a week were the hardest at night time as she didn't think she could sleep without sucking her thumb, but with encouragement and a bit of extra soothing, plus the obvious barrier presented, she did fall asleep, and thus learnt that she could.We used half of the star chart to reward wearing the thumbsies, until we felt confident that she was not seeking her thumb anymore, and then the other half of the Star Chart to then wean her off of the thumbsies, and remind her that she didn't need her thumbs to fall asleep.We stuck with it and she hasn't looked back. It's been amazing, and her school were totally fine with her wearing them. I sent her Thumbsies book in with her book bag for reference so they could encourage her too as she did use to suck her thumb in class. They've been a winner!Thanks for a brilliant product that has genuinely helped my child break a habit of a lifetime.

The Thumbsie really worked for my 6 year old daughter. It took about a month for her to stop sucking her thumb. The reward chart helped and she identified a lot with Ted in the book.

Thumsie solved our 3.5y old daughters thumbsucking habit in under 3 weeks.

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 son is autistic and had been sucking his thumb for 10 years, but since having the thumbsies, he hasn't sucked his thumb in 5 months. I would highly recommend

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!

Thumbsie has worked a treat since the day my 6 year old daughter used it. My daughter loved to pick her own design too. No more thumb-sucking. Thank you so much!

Ma fille de 9ans a arrêté de sucer le doigt grâce au thumbsie, c’est le dentiste qui nous en a parlé cet été. Elle a choisit elle-même ses motifs et après 4 jours, elle arrivait à s’endormir sans trop de difficulté sans sucer son pouce. Ça a marché pour nous plus qu’on n’attendait. Elle est ravie

We have been blown away by how smooth Thumbsie has made the transition to help our 5 year old daughter stop sucking her thumb. The thumb guard was beautifully made and we really appreciated the ongoing support from the team via Instagram. Would recommend to anyone wanting to take the leap in stopping thumb sucking. Thank you so much!

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.

Really well made, we have 2 of them. My sone likes them as they are in camouflage patterns. They definitely help restrict thumb sucking.

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.

In less than 6 weeks of wearing a thumbsie both my 8yr old & 3 yr old have stopped sucking their thumbs whilst falling asleep. Both boys enjoyed picking the material pattern & proud of themselves! Highly recommended

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!

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.

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.

We used for our eldest child and they worked a treat. Our third has decided she would like to try giving up now and the designs are fab. They really do give them the confidence to break the habit and feel cool with the amazing print

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!

My 6 year old daughter has sucked her thumb since she was a baby and I was beginning to think we would just have to accept this. Any other way we’d tried to get her to stop had failed. However she kept asking us to help her and I came across Thumbsie. The many designs helped as she loves cheetah print fabric and she took to wearing it straight away at night. After a couple of months of wearing it she asked to take it off and she now no longer sucks her thumb. I am proud of her for giving this a go and also over the moon this has worked. Thanks Thumbsie. I would recommend this - even if you feel doubtful.

Eva has sucked her thumb since she was born, at night, when tired, when anxious ie a lot! I never thought this would work but it's been over 4 weeks now and she's not sucked her thumb once! She enjoyed picking the fabric and Jo was really helpful with this. The only problem I have now is that she won't take the thumbsie off! Thanks Jo we're all so happy it's working and proud of Eva.

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!
