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 👌

This has been an absolute hit, and the fact that our daughter proactively puts this on every night is testament to how comfortable it is! What a great solution - thank you so much!!

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.

Thumbsies are very made, the concept is great. Our son really bought in to the idea and we think we’ve cracked the thumb sucking. Going to give it a little longer to be on the safe side. But after two weeks we move not noticed him trying to duck his thumb.

My 4 and a half year old daughter started sucking her thumb nonstop since she was 4 months!my husband and I have tried every trick to make her stop but nothing worked and it only got worse,,, until one day while I was trying to find any new different method that we haven’t thought of, I stumbled upon an article that recommended Thumbsie so I thought well let’s give this a try, and I must say whoever came up with Thumbsie is simply a genius!!!! Believe it or not the last time my daughter sucked her thumb was before she put her thumbsies on! She chose the patterns she liked and when we received them her dad read her the story and she got really excited about putting them on. The reward chart made this process a lot more fun too. She still puts them on at night just in case but she doesn’t really need them anymore! I cannot thank you enough ! I would 100% recommend it.

Bought for myself as an adult who struggles with biting my fingers, thumbs in particular.Really finding these useful so far. They aren't uncomfortable to wear for long periods and they stop me from unconsciously biting my thumbs. I work from home and just wear them through the working day.Had for a month now and holding up well so they seem very durable as well. Would recommend as an aid for others with similar habits

Miracle workers! My little girl is 9 and could not break her thumb sucking habit, despite my best efforts. She chose the designs of her 3 thumbsies, which is a fab idea as it got her involved from the get go. It took a week for the habit to break! I was shocked it took such a short time. She still wears a thumbsie when she's really tired and she knows she might suck her thumb without thinking. I highly recommend thumbsies. Thank you xxxx

Great choice of patterns, my daughter enjoyed picking and i feel that been key to her actually wearing them and so far so good, definitely seems to be helping break the habit.

I bought these for my 6.5 year old son. He was really excited when i showed him all the different designs, and he got to pick one that really appealed to him. He wore them every night for a month, after which all urges to suck his thumb (even instinctively when he's sleeping) seem to have gone, as he's now been without them for 2 weeks, and hasn't gone back to thumb sucking. We also used a reward chart alongside it, which worked really well for us. I would highly recommend this product!

Thumbsie worked after 2 days. My 5 year old had sucked her thumb since a baby and a dentist said the pressure on her mouth was changing the shape of her teeth and jawline.The habit was so entrenched but I think the Thumbsie gave her the confidence to stop and she hasn't gone back to it. I thought it was going to be a big battle but it was easy. I would def. recommend this way of tackling it -quick and simple.

My daughter chose her own Thumbsie and loves it, wears it every single night without being reminded! We left the first one in a restaurant, so had to order a second. Definitely recommend ordering more than one!

I'm so pleased I found this product. My daughter is 6 years old and has sucked her thumb since she was a baby. A recent visit to the dentist highlighted the effects of her thumb sucking on her teeth and jaw. My daughter found it relatively easy to stop sucking her thumb during the day but she was really struggling to fall asleep and she would suck her thumb without realising during the night. I searched the Internet and came across this website and read all of the positive reviews. I showed my daughter and she selected a fabric. It arrived really quickly and I got her a reward chart which she is so proud of. We've never looked back. From day 1 of wearing her thumb guard at night, it's done the trick and she hasnt sucked her thumb for over 40 days now. I would highly recommend the Thumbsie thumb guard. Thank you for producing such a fabulous product for children and making the challenge of stopping thumb sucking a lot easier.

The thumb guards really helped our 2yo son to stop sucking his thumb at night. And without using it during the day the habit started transferring to daytime also, so we are really happy we found Thumbsie.

Truly and excellent product. I bought the Thumbsie for my son, who has a bad habit of picking the skin on his thumbs! It worked like a dream and his habit was soon broken. Thank you Thumbsie!!!

Great products and service, my son chose the design which helped him be a part of it and he stopped within 2 weeks. Would recommend to any others with the same issue.

Great product and within 2 weeks of wearing the thumb guard my daughter (age 3) pretty much stopped sucking her thumb. Associated with thumb sucking was hair twiddling, that’s stopped too!! 2 months on now and no regression and just likes to wear it at night but I don’t think it is needed. Sizing guide was spot on. Thank you

I'm so happy to have found this product. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the development and manufacturing.The size chart advice is spot on.My son's dentist (who obviously wants him to stop sucking) was so impressed by the product, she asked for the link.

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
Thumbs Up to Ted’s Thumbsie Book
Ted is about to start Big School and is desperate to give up sucking his thumb. Will he give up sucking in time and what will happen in when he goes to School?
A story is a pleasurable way to communicate a message, so writing a positive book to accompany the Thumbsie® products seemed like a natural extension of this gentle thumb sucking solution. We hope that children will hear Ted’s story and feel encouraged to give up.
The book is suitable for both thumb and fingers suckers from around 2 years to 6 years old.
