Glovey Huggey- Thumb Sucking Deterrent Brace, Kids & Toddler Breathable Guard Glove, Finger Sleeve for Sucking and Nail Biting Prevention, by an American Company, For Ages 2-4 Years Old, Cheetah Print

These gloves worked great for my 4-year old. He knew we wanted him to stop sucking his thumb, we'd been talking about it for months. The reviews on that bitter nail paint made me nervous so decided to try these gloves. My son is small for his age, I ordered the 2-4 year old size and they fit perfectly. The gloves were sown well and I had no issues during the 3 weeks he wore them. The material is stretchy and it would be VERY easy for a child to simply pull their thumb out of the thumb cover if they wanted to. However, my son didn't so they worked great! He wore them about 3 weeks, then got a bad cold and I didn't want them getting all snotty plus he was all stuffed up so that made a good transition time to stop them and he has successfully stopped sucking his thumb. I did wash them in cold water and air dried prior to first use. For the amount of fabric and sewing involved, I thought they were overpriced, but there's not much else out there on the market. I did consider a more expensive plastic thumb cover (T Guard Aero Thumb) but glad I didn't spring for that as you only get one and my son switched thumbs when I only put on one glove the first few days, so he needed both gloves to effectively break the habit.

These are awesome in theory but my child just pops out her thumb while sleeping and still wears the glove.Was hoping these would be a great reminder for my 7 year old to help break the habit of mindless thumb sucking, however she just removes the thumb piece while sleeping and continues to wear the glove cause she thinks it’s cute.The product is a good quality and lots of color options. Easy to clean, just pop them in with a load of laundry. The glove is a nice soft smooth material, causing no irritation to the skin after long wear. Easy to close snap button on glove.All in all if you can keep it on your child’s hand the product works well !

Used them for my 4 year old daughter. She used to suck her thumb at bedtime or when she was relaxing. These gloves worked really well for us since she understood she shouldn't suck her thumb, she simply needed a reminder.

These were a waste of money. We used them for four days. Night one she didn't suck her thumb. That was it. The next three nights she did, and ended up with a sore throat in the morning because of it. The material is thin and soft, so while they were comfortable for her to sleep in- they also were too easy to suck without stopping her.

My 4-year-old daughter has been a dedicated thumb sucker since she first found her thumb at 3 months old. We weren’t too concerned at first, but at her last dentist visit, we learned that it was starting to negatively affect her teeth. Her dentist recommended thumb-sucking gloves, and after some research, these seemed like the perfect solution.At first, she was resistant to wearing them, but we got the blue pair and told her they were “magic Elsa gloves”—that little trick worked like a charm! She’s now been wearing them for couple of months (except while eating or using the potty), and we’ve seen huge progress.The biggest challenge has been bedtime. She used to fall asleep with her thumb in her mouth, so without it, she’s struggling to self-soothe. It’s been an adjustment, but that’s to be expected. I’ve caught her occasionally trying to suck her thumb in her sleep, but with the gloves on, it’s much easier to gently redirect her. We also had her sleep in our bed at first to help redirect her consistently. After two months, she no longer wears them and has stopped sucking her thumb.For parents frustrated that their child can take the gloves off—let’s be real, that’s on you. These aren’t a magic fix; they require patience, consistency, and active parenting. If you’re not willing to guide and encourage your child through the process, don’t waste your money. But if you’re committed to helping them break the habit, these gloves absolutely work!

My son was born with a club foot and when he started sucking his thumb I did not want to force him to stop because he already had casting and bracing shoes to deal with and I felt like Thumb Sucking soothed him, so I let him go at it.As he grew, the habit grew with him and eventually he would not get his finger out of his mouth. Finally his finger got blistered often and had dead skin all the time. It really looked bad and I am sure to other people it looked disgusting.I was glad to find this product on Amazon by chance and ordered two pair as recommended by one of the reviewers. It was great advice. The first time I put it on him; he was excited about it, but then got frustrated when he could not suck on his thumb.He fussed and asked me to take it off around 3 times the first day but I explained that it is to stop him from sucking his thumb, I am not sure if he understood me but eventually he understood that he is wearing it for that purpose.To my surprise, the stuffed animal was a lot of help in helping him go to sleep. He hugged it to sleep when he felt like sucking his thumb and found it covered. It was kind of sad seeing him jerk his hand during his sleep remembering the habit.On day 8 he came back from pre-school without them on because they were so dirty and the miss took them off. He didn’t go back to thumb sucking but started asking for milk bottles whenever he felt like sucking it. Now I catch him sucking his thumb every now and then but he quickly removes it when he sees me. He just doesn’t want them back on.I am ordering another pair and maybe keeping them on for another week to make sure it is gone for good. The first pairs got worn out.
