This Device Really Works!!!
I not one to really write a review on products BUT this was definitely and exception. My son has sucked his index and middle fingers since he was around 5 months old. His pediatrician on his 14 month check up said, I don’t know what you’re going to do about those fingers but you might wanna see if there is something out there. So my bonus daughter found this blessing! I am happy to say that it really works! Now, it took a month but we were consistent with keeping it on. We took it off to give him a break during the day but monitored him closely. If he attempted to put his fingers in his mouth, device it was! May sound cruel but what I can tell you is, his fingers are still healing with thick skin and his nail beds are growing since he no longer sucks his fingers. He is still very much a happy camper not sucking them. So my advice, buy it and try it! Don’t be discouraged, it works!!!

Doesn't work for kids at the higher end of the age range
I have 5 year old twins and bought two of these CareThumb guards to get them to stop sucking their fingers. I cut out the recommended area and followed all instructions. Two major issues with this product:1. The wrist cuff is way too small. Even beading it through the last hole, it was way too tight on my daughters' wrist and I could barely get it on them.2. Smart kids can figure out how to get this off easily. My kids figured out that they couldn't get it off their wrist, but if they pulled straight up, the silicon stretched enough that they could pop their fingers out.Good concept for a product, but a couple of design flaws make it unusable for ages 4+. Now since I've used it and cut pieces out of it per the recommendation of the manufacturer, I can't return it.

Great product!
Works great on my 19 month girl. Fits comfortably and easy to wash. Much better than gloves type.

Didn't Work For Us
I bought this for my daughter who can't keep her fingers out of her mouth. After a few days it rubbed a sore on her skin so she stopped using it. She eventually learned to keep her fingers out of her mouth mostly. She would still suck her fingers in her sleep so she started wearing it just at night. Then I noticed she would just pull it to the side and suck her fingers anyway. It might work better for someone who starts using it earlier in age than we did.

Worked for my 4 year old
This worked very quickly with my 4 yr old who sucked her 2 fingers ALL the time. It was comfortable to wear. Within a couple weeks it broke her habit of automatically putting her fingers in her mouth. She did chew on and slightly tear one plastic finger and a 4 yr can easily take it off if they’re so inclined. It gets quite dirty if playing outside and hard to thoroughly wash/dry hands. I did find that while she was not sucking her fingers during the day, I had to continue with over night use, as the fingers found way into her mouth while sleeping. I’d recommend as nothing else worked for us.

Not impressed at all!
This item needs a lot of work. It was a waste of money in my and my husband's opinions. Our 2.5 year old sucks her middle and ring fingers together. She is getting sores and bumps on her fingers and it is changing the shape of her mouth. At the recommendation of her dentist, we decided to try and kick the habit. There are two finger guard options out there, this being the cheaper of the two. I haven't tried the other one so don't know how it compares. This one is junk, though! It is too big for the average sized toddler so it is huge around her fingers. The air vent holes are also huge so she just sticks her fingers through the holes and sucks them that way. Or, because the material is so stretchy, she can literally stretch it up and over her fingers so that it hangs to the side and she can freely suck them. At first I thought we should have tried it when she was much younger so she couldn't stretch it so much. But then it really would have been huge on her. Dumb construction without much thought or input from actual users.

Worked like miracle
We have a 18months old who sucks his two fingers, we have searched this product and gave a trial. This worked as a miracle but took little time. Now he is no more putting fingers in mouth

Good concept but flawed
The concept is great, but it has several problems in our case:- my daughter is 2 1/2 and this is too big for her.- There is only one adjustment option neither work well for the size of her hands- the holes are too big and she can just stick her finger through while wearing the device- she learned how to take it off after only 1 day
