Welcome to ThumbGuardUK

Below are some of our customers views on our products.

“I would just like to express how pleased we are with the results of our recent purchase of the thumb guard. I saw the advert in a magazine that my daughter Isabella brought home from school. Isabella who is 6 years old saw the advertisment and wanted to give it a try. As we had already tried every other method I thought we had nothing to lose

Isabella was delighted when it arrived and couldn't wait to try it out. She kept it on 24/7 for the first week and then wore it for a second week taking it off each night when she came in from school and then putting it back on before bed. Isabella has now stopped wearing the thumb guard for 5 days and we are delighted to say she has kicked the habit.
I would like to say a big thanks for the support you offered when I enquired about the guard. It has been a great success. Lots of children have asked Isabella about it so I only hope they try it too.

Thanks again.
Mrs Sophia Keeling.

 

“Thank you for having a chat on the phone a few moments ago.

My daughter no longer sucks her thumb!!!!!!!!!  (Nor twiddles her hair!) She had sucked her thumb and twiddled her hair since she was 18 months old – 3 and a half years!  She wore ThumbGuard for two and a half weeks in total.

She was so excited about receiving the package, we wore it straight away.  That was Saturday morning and she wore a turquoise strap to match her dancing uniform.  We anticipated that people would ask her “What have you done to your thumb?” (which she did get a bit fed up with after a week), but she was proud to state that “This will help me stop sucking my thumb!”   We decided to colour-coordinate the straps, and when she went to school, she wore colours that matched in with her uniform!

The school were a little worried, when she turned up with it on her thumb, as they thought it would interfere with writing, getting changed into PE kit, etc.  But the first day at school with it on was fine (she just needed some help with doing up buttons).  Other parents were interested in it and even the teachers (for their own children) – I did say they come in “big” sizes for older children and teenagers!

The teacher also suggested that we tied my daughter’s two plaits behind her head in a pony-tail to avoid twiddling hair, as she used to thumb suck and twiddle hair in unison.  Well the hair twisting also stopped.

It’s now been about six weeks since she stopped.  We haven’t had any messages from school to say she has been caught thumb-sucking or hair-twiddling…..so, it’s obviously still working.

Anyway thanks for helping us out.  Have a great Christmas and Habit-breaking New Year!!!!!!

Best Regards
Mrs N Edwards

 

”I just wanted to put in writing to you how brilliant we found the thumbguard to be. My daughter is 3 1/2 and sucked both thumbs all the time. Obviously I had tried everything to stop it before finding you. Once we'd got the guards, it took 5 days to stop her sucking during the day and after 10 days she didn't need the guards either day or night. The great thing was that she was very proud to wear the guards - she loved the coloured bands - and she went around showing her friends just as if she had a new necklace!

I'm looking forward to taking her to the dentist next time, rather than dreading being told again about the damage she's doing!

Good luck
Mrs J.B.

 

“We are delighted! Our daughter Agnes, age 5, sucked her left thumb from the age of 2 months and already had the her palate and fingers deformed.

We had tried everything: bandages, unpalatable products, a specific dental braces,

... all with fights, pain and bad times ...

Our daughter did not want to break the habit. It was so strong that she could not help it, even though she tried ...

Just over a month ago, searching for solutions online and in despair, I found your page. We decided to try ...

Eureka, in two weeks it is no longer a problem! And without any pain! The first 7 days she wore them all day (on both hands, to avoid temptation), then only at night and in another 7 days we took them off seeing as she made no attempts to suck her thumb.

It has been a total success, she stopped sucking her thumb and we recommend it to all those who have the same problem (the parents of a girlfriend of my daughter will buy, after seeing the results of Agnes). So thank you very much, Thumbguard is an amazing invention
