  1. My kid bit it so severely I had to buy another. Hopefully it’s not toxic?! The bands are ridiculously expensive and not enough are included so I had to buy more- despite the already high price tag of the t-guard. But you guys are one of the only ones on the market.

    • Hi Elyse,
      This product is made in the USA out of FDA listed, medical grade materials. It contains no BPA, phthalates, or any other harmful compound or chemical, can be ingested safely (though we don’t recommend that!). We do offer free device replacements for customers under warranty. Simply visit this page:
      https://tguard.com/warranty/
      Our bands are tested to the rigorous requirements that our product demands. Most treatments take less than 30 days, so if your treatment extends far beyond that, we encourage you to reach out to us for guidance. We are here to help!
      Kind regards,
      MED et al, Inc.

  2. Unfortunately he still sucks his thumb.

    • Hi,
      We are sorry you did not find success with our product. We encourage all customers to reach out to us for troubleshooting. Typically, there are a few reasons why children continue to suck after treatment, such as:
      1. Inconsistent use of the device, or the child can remove it (the device needs readjusting)
      2. The child has a strong oral fixation, which can cause a relapse.
      Please reach out to us, we would love the opportunity to help you.
      Kind regards,
      MED et al, Inc.

  3. No. Did not stop

  4. Have used this guard for months now, been through 2 of them which are destroyed and we still have a thumb sucker. I splurged for a second one, because they do have to take a beating to break, but they are too expensive for me to continue to buy more, and 30 days to break the habit not a thing for my son.

  5. This did not work for us. My child chewed on the plastic. The plastic also discolored, and looked gross after a couple of weeks. The red connector piece broke and we ended up having to thread the wrist band through the slits without it which made for a weird fit and ultimately just did not work. We ended up using the nail biting nail polish and that worked much better for us.

  6. Worked great for a bit, but my son ended up chewing through the guard! We had to cut the top down because it was sharp, and little by little his thumb was more exposed making the guard useless. I really thought this would work and wish it came in a more durable, non-chewable material.

  7. Llegó muy pronto pero estoy totalmente descepcionada del producto, para empezar deben especificar si son pesos o dólares, en segunda, el producto no vale la pena por el precio, el rango de edades para el tamaño viene mal, el que compre para una niña de 4 años es para alguien mas grande dado que me queda a mi que soy mamá, tercera para México no hay cambios ni devoluciones, así que estoy totalmente descepcionada del producto, sencillamente no me sirve pague mucho y no vale la pena

    • Hi there,
      Our large size is for children who are 7 and older (and fits some adults!), who weigh more than 75 pounds. For a 4 year old, the size medium would be best. Although you are located outside of the USA, we will be happy to work with you to exchange your large for a medium!

  8. I have twins. The thumb sucker required 4 of these and it didn’t help in the end. I’m still looking for ideas. Her twin needed 3 of the finger guards, and she did break the habit after 3.5 months of wearing on both hands! My kids chewed them very quickly…good thing they sent replacements!! I wonder if it should be harder plastic. The idea is good. Results vary.

  9. Good idea in concept, but if your kid is hell bent on doing it they still will. Just bought these for my 6 year old. At first, he was slipping out of it. After we tightened it up, he started chewing on them and bit through the plastic enough to be able to suck on his thumb again.

  1. My kid still finds a way to wiggle his hand out, and if I may the strips a little tighter they cut his hand overnight. Still sucking his fingers

    • Hi Elena,
      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.

  2. My daughter pulled her fingers out to the point that she ripped the slots open and chewed the top off.
    She’s savage.

  3. The concept is good, the device was not uncomfortable for my 2 year old, it came with a cute little chart and reward stickers. However, im not sure how a child would wear this for a month which is what the instructions are (30 day minimum) and its too expensive . I say that because your child will likely need to wear TWO. My child easily figured out she could just pop the other finger from her opposite hand in her mouth.
