  1. No it did not work, my baby will slip her out of tguard and continue sucking and when it’s place too tight so she don’t slip her finger out, it leaves blisters.

  2. Purchased this to get my almost 3 year old to stop sucking her thumb. It went well for about 2 weeks and then she managed to get her thumb out every night. Purchased two for both thumbs and I’d say was a waste of money unfortunately

  3. Several components broke (the red fastener broke) the slits for the wrist band tore. We ended up buying the pieces 2x and the wristbands were also expensive. Product is not durable or suited for nightly use. It was so frustrating that the pieces broke and then waiting for delivery for the new ones.

  4. Didn’t work at all. I even tried buying two. Waste of a lot of money

      We are sorry to hear that. We will be reaching out to you to troubleshoot this and we hope you will give us an opportunity to help you have a successful treatment!
      Kind regards,

  5. No, didn’t work at all.

  6. The silicone ripped within an hour of use. My daughter was able to pull her thumb out easily And it didn’t break the habit. Very disappointed and hoped it would work.

  7. The strap that goes around the finger was rip off

  8. Didn’t work well for us. No matter what we did, she took it off. If we tightened it, it left indentions and sores from rubbing. Too loose, she got it off.

    • Hi Shelby,
      It is likely the size purchased is too big. We have reached out to you to troubleshoot this issue. We are confident we can get you back on track!
      Kind regards,
      MED et al Inc.

  9. This did not work. We followed the 21 days of continuous use and all it resulted in were blisters in between my toddlers thumb and pointer finger.

  10. Worked for a couple nights then my daughter figured out how to take them off.

  11. I love the idea and had high hopes. I even bought a second one hoping that it’ll work only to have spent over $100 on a useless piece of plastic. My two year old figured how to take it off and tightening it did no good. It also left an unsightly bruise on his hand.

    • Hi Kenny,
      We are sorry to hear that the treatment hasn’t been working out so far. Please reach out to us for support.
      Kind regards,
      MED et al, Inc.

  12. It doesn’t work for my child. You can’t put on his tumb more than 3 days because it makes him hurt. It doesn’t gave me solution.

    • Hi Ephrem,
      Please reach out to us for troubleshooting. In most cases, a smaller size or a readjustment will solve the problem.
      Making the straps tighter is usually not the solution.
      Kind regards,
      MED et al, Inc.

  13. She just sucked the thumb guard as if it were her thumb.

    • Hi Benjamin,
      This happens for 2 reasons:
      1. The device is too small, and creates a seal over the thumb, rendering it useless. The child sucks over the device since the device does not break the suction as intended.
      2. The child looks like they are sucking, but are actually just stimulating the inside of their mouth. You can read more about this here: http://www.tguard.com/chewing

      Both issues can be addressed quite easily. Please reach out to us for help!
      Kind regards,
      David

  14. It was either too loose and my son was able to pull it off or it was too tight and left marks on his hand. It did not work for us.

    • Hi,
      We are sorry you did not find success with our product. We encourage all customers to reach out to us in situations like this. Usually this is easily remedied with a readjustment or a different size. We’d ask you to submit a photo of the device adjusted.
      If it is adjusted well, and the size is right, we can also send a custom accessory to prevent removal, which is effective in nearly 100% of cases.
      Kind regards,
      MED et al, Inc.

  15. My daughter started chewing on the tip of the thumb guard, and plastic pieces started coming off. Once I realized that was happening, the guards became unsafe for her to use. It was almost two months of wearing them. She went right back to sucking her thumb.

    • Hi there,
      Chewing is normal and expected with this treatment. We have been selling the device, out of the same material, for over 25 years.
      A chewed device does not pose any kind of danger, and typically indicates an oral fixation, which must be addressed before the device is removed. Please see this page: http://www.tguard.com/chewing

  1. This worked for about a week. Then our baby simply switched hands and, even worse, got into a routine of nail biting. Would not recommend.

  2. Eu fiz o pedido, e efetuei o pagamento. Porém não recebir o meu produto ?
