Magic in a bottle!!

My 4 year old had sucked her thumb for about 1 year after picking it up from my 2 year old. While my younger one sucks her thumb on occasion, my 4 year old daughter sucked her thumb from sun up to sun down. The persistance of her thumb sucking was starting to become a social problem, instead of interacting with other children at preschool she would stand off by herself sucking her thumb. She is an incredibly sensitive child and I was hesitant to try and get her to stop sucking her thumb. After much persuasion from her pediatrician and dentist, I started looking for thumb sucking solutions. I read all the great reviews for MAVALA and decided to give it a try. WOW!! This stuff is amazing, like magic, my daughter only tried to put her thumb in her mouth twice more after applying it to her thumb nail. She has not sucked her thumb in almost 3 weeks now. I have recommended it to everyone I know that is looking for a quick and relatively pain-free solution to thumb sucking, this stuff is FANTASTIC!
It works!

I read the hundreds of reviews prior to purchasing this to help my 2-1/2 year old from sucking her thumb. I figured it wasn't too expensive to try. The first day I put it on she gagged a little but that did the trick. I applied every other day for a week or so and occasionally she tried the thumb but hated it. After a week, I never saw her put the thumb to mouth again. It could be a problem if the person uses their hands for eating as she got the occasional "bad taste" but it was only for a few days until we knew the habit was broken. Love this product.
She No Longer Sucks Her Thumb!

My daughter sucked her thumb since babytime and nothing we tried got her to stop. But after using this product for one month, she has completely stopped!! She has not sucked her thumb for 4 months now and has lost the desire...we are talking about a child with a true thumbsucking addict! I highly recommend this product to everyone who has a child that sucks her/his thumb.
Wonderful!!!

I was not sure if this product would work. I applied the product one time to my childs finger and she hasn't sucked her fingers. Excellent product.
Stops pre-schooler nail-biting

My 4 1/2 year old daughter had been biting her nails for several months and nothing I tried had worked. I searched the internet for remedies and after reading reviews of bitter nail polish chose Mavala. She hated it! The trick was to keep the bitterness tasting fresh with frequent applications and soon she had stopped biting almost completely. (I say almost because once in awhile I'll notice what appears to be a slightly eroded nail on one or two particular fingers, but I do consider her "cured.")
works!

my 3 year old daughter's thumb sucking was starting to affect her bite and the dentist recommended this product. it was hard for me to give it a try on her (the terrible bitter taste does not wash off--I tried it) but after a few nights with a struggle, the polish just became a reminder and within a few weeks, the habit which began in womb was broken! I kept painting her thumbs every day (it says every two, but I found she bear the taste if I didn't do it every day)for a while, but haven't for quite a while and she hasn't began again. I only used a fraction of the bottle--very well worth the $9!
Worked for us!

We used this product on our newly turned three year old daughter who was a chronic two finger sucker. We had prepped her for months that when she turns three her fingers wouldn't taste good and that there was to be no more sucking. We started using Mavala two days after she turned three and it worked! She didn't like it, cried when she put her fingers in her mouth, but she didn't suck! My husband and I both tried it and admit that it tastes horrible, but as long as it was safe and worked that's all that mattered to us. Our dentist was happy to see her not sucking and her teeth are already shifting back into place! Thanks for a great product that works.
Miracle Product!

My daughter had sucked her thumb for 5 years. Her thumb sucking had become her comfort object that she used to calm down when upset and tired. In the last year, when her thumb sucking had become more rather than less, we decided to try Mavala Stop after a friend raved about it. We applied it to her thumb 3 times in the first few weeks, and she has completely stopped sucking--from the first application, in fact. She got a little bitter taste while eating a bagel and that was it. I highly reccommend this product and wish I would have known about it years ago!
Works!

I am so grateful to have found this product. This has helped both my kids who are 8 and 5, and lifelong thumbsuckers, stop! I am pleased with the results and my kids are so proud of themselves. Thanks!
MAVALA

I bit my nails since i had teeth. I am 34 now. I have tried a few nail bite products in the past. They never worked. I saw Mavala online and ordered a bottle in mid March of 2008. It has the most disgusting taste that stays in your mouth if you try to bite your nails. But it is amazing because after about 30 years of biteing my nails down to the nub I am proud to say it has been almost 2 months since I have bit my nails. All I can say is Thank you over and over.
