I have 4 year old triplets. 2 of them were finger suckers! I decided to take extra steps to get them to stop this nasty habit! I ordered this product and they were a little stubborn at 1st but with consistency and determination it really stopped both of them! I prayed about, used Mavala, and a glove (which I had been using before). I am so happy that they no longer suck their fingers ;-)

I did not believe that this produce could do what I said that it could do but I bought it anyway. My daughter who just turned 5 has been sucking two fingers since she is born I have tried eveything, things that have cost much more then this product and they did not work. My husband said as a last resort try it it cannot hurt. When I got the package my daughter was excited because we were going to help her stop. It took about one day and that was it. It has been a month now with no relapse. This product is great!!
This stuff really works!!!!!

I'd tried everything I could think of to stop my son from sucking his fingers. I found MAVALA Stop using WebMD and decided to give it a try. It worked with the first application. My son tried to suck his fingers after I applied it, but he immediately took his fingers from his mouth. Now, you can't even make him put his fingers in his mouth. This product has saved us from a large dental bill.
amazing

My daughter is 8 years old. We could not get her to stop sucking her thumb. We bought expensive thumbguards. She was strong enough to pull it off at night. She even chewed on the plastic. I had made an appointment with her dentist to have the bar put in the roof of her mouth. I did not want to have to go that route, but I was desperate. I found Mavala on the internet. We began using it, and she only put her thumb in her mouth once during the day. Then one night while she was sleeping. She said it was horrible. We continue to put it on her thumb just to make sure the habit is gone, but she shows no desire to suck her thumb. My daughters self-esteem has increased dramatically. She wanted to quit before, but just could not. Mavala made her successful at stopping. Love it!!!! Highly reccomend it.
IT is amazing

my daughter is 4.5 years, since she was 2 months old, she started to suck her thumb then 2 fingers... she is doing that while she is watching TV, listening to people, even playing...i was concern about her fingers, nails as well as teeth !! for more than 2 years i tried everything you can imagine to stop her doing that.. recently she started sucking the fingers and twisting her hair and could not remove the hair from fingers so she would pull it out and bring me a ball of hair !!! she drove me crazy.. 3 weeks ago i started to search on internet for products other than one available on shelves on the pharmacy.. and finally found MAVALA STOP.. and guess one frome the first day she stopped sucking, twisting ... and its over... thank you for such product and i recommend it %100 ..
It's working!

I just used this for the first time tonight for my little guy (17months). He and my niece (2 years) are determined thumb suckers. He threw up once so far after sucking his thumb the stuff tastes so bad. He cried a bit so I see a lot of hugs, cuddles and support in our future....but for the first time he's sleeping without sucking his thumb! YAHOO! Now maybe that blister will finally heal....Next is my niece!
Awesome & horrible!!!!

I was recently recommended this product and bought it for my 4 year old daughter. I have tried many tricks to get her to quit sucking her pointer finger for the past 2 years. She used to have her finger in her mouth ALL the time, tv, car, bed, you name it! She actually threw up 3 times on the first day I applied to her fingernails - it tasts that BAD! At first I wasn't sure if I'd made a mistake using it. But she has not once put her finger in her mouth since! I can't even believe it. It must have made a psychological break with the comfort she was receiving from sucking. I'm so thrilled. (And kinda feel bad.)
OMG Something that works!!! FINALLY!!!

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with Mavala Stop. I'm a 25y.o. male, and have been biting my nails since pre-school (old home videos don't lie!). I have tried EVERYTHING; Thum, hot sauce, horseradish, you name it and it didn't work for me. I bought a bottle a few months ago, and it only took a few times of this horrible, bitter, LINGERING taste in my mouth to finally give up this habit that's plagued me nearly my whole life. I have not been putting it on for a few weeks now, and my nails are still there! Occasionally I'll catch myself nibbling on a rough edge, so I've started keeping nail clippers at work/home/car so I can take care of it right away. Then I'll usually put on a new coat just to reinforce the not-biting! :-D Only issue is that sometimes it'll rub off when eating with my hands, so I get a nice dash of awfulness with my sandwich or french fries. Otherwise, this stuff is liquid gold and I would recommend it (and have) to anybody trying to get their fingers out of their mouth. THANK YOU MAVALA!!!!
Works Wonders

My son is 5 1/2 and has always sucked his thumb. We thought it would get better as he got older, but it actually got worse. We tried every tip that people gave us. We decided to talk to the orthodontist because my sons teeth were starting to push forward from sucking his thumb. He recommended this product before we put the "bar" in his mouth. It worked immediately. The first night he tried to put his thumb in his mouth twice, he hated it. He has not even tried since. We are on day 6 and will keep it on for a couple weeks just to make sure, but so far I am thrilled!!!
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!
