Description of ThumbGuard LG (7-15 yrs.)
Designed to be safe, fun, painless, and most of all, effective, TGuard ThumbGuard is guaranteed to stop thumb sucking by eliminating what makes it pleasurable: the suction that occurs when the child tries to suck his or her thumbs. This suction is the primary element responsible for pleasure, and is the sole reason why children cannot help but prolong this harmful habit. In order to break the suction, the soft, flexible, non-toxic plastic tube creates a channel for air to flow; which breaks the suction without causing any pain or discomfort. By breaking the suction, you are breaking the habit, and ThumbGuard does this safely and easily within 30 days. No more messy nail polishes full of chemicals, or fabric-based solutions that your child can remove; try a gentle, non-intrusive approach that parents, pediatricians, and dentists have recommended for over 15 years: TGuard ThumbGuard.Baby Products Reviews of ThumbGuard LG (7-15 yrs.)
Customer Review: It works--but only if you use it correctly, every day
Summary: 4 Stars
Our 6.5-year-old daughter was sucking her thumb in the womb--we could even see it in the first ultrasound pictures. We didn't want it to become a power struggle or an issue of self-esteem, so we let it go on, and for too long...for the past couple of years, we'd only gently suggested alternatives. But she was not interested in giving up the thumbie at all. Then the dentist told us last spring that she had already damaged her teeth and palate. I got serious about finding options to help her.
First, I began to get her excited about the idea. Then I purchased a thumb glove in a bright color for day time. Next, I went hunting for an option for night time, since that is her worst trigger. The thumb guard seemed to be a good option because it's washable and she cannot fling it off during the night. We began a bit half-heartedly and were not consistent at first. But once school was out, I realized i had to make this as much of a non-negotiable issue as brushing teeth before bed.
Now that we've been using the thumb guard consistently and correctly for a month, the thumb sucking habit is nearly dead. Our 6.5 year old now voluntarily puts it on each night before bed and she clips the straps each morning to remove it. She enjoys picking the strap color each night and she does not put the thumb in her mouth while sleeping anymore. We believe this will solve the problem for the long term, but the key was to get her excited about it and give her ownership of it once we had made it a consistent practice.
The product is not perfect, and it is expensive, but we have found it to be EFFECTIVE and for us, that's what counts. We are ordering our second round of wrist straps and are very pleased with the results.
