5 out of 5 starsThis was my second purchase from MakahiloMade as I loved the product and really started seeing results from wearing the thumb sucker guard. I would highly recommend this product to anyone struggling with breaking the thumb sucking habit. *There was an issue with shipping/delivery, but Jen was easy to communicate with and very professional in resolving the issue in a timely manner. *

5 out of 5 starsWe have been struggling with trying to break the thumb sucking habit for some time now, and our dentist recommended that we try one of the thumb sucker guards from Etsy. I'm so glad that I was able to find this guard as it is perfectly sized for my toddler's tiny thumb without being super overwhelming to wear all night. We did struggle with wearing it at the beginning, but now she asks for it as her thumb "pajamas" and knows that it is part of the night routine. My daughter has been wearing it for about a two weeks now and I see some progress; hoping that with time she will stop thumb sucking altogether.

5 out of 5 starsSuper fast shipping. Great quality. I got this for my daughter because my son used one of these guards to stop thumb-sucking. My daughter loves hers, and we are hoping her finger-sucking goes as easily as my son’s did.

5 out of 5 starsThis has been a miracle! My son (3yo) has worn it for 2 days.. at first, he completely tricked me and told me to put it on the thumb he DOESN’T suck. When I realized what he was doing he was not happy about putting it on the other thumb. He whines occasionally that he wants to suck his thumb but I remind him how proud I am that he is being a big boy and he gets over it.
He even napped and slept with it on!
Fingers crossed this works long term! -

5 out of 5 starsI measured a bit wrong - too far down inside the thumb - and emailed Jen and she responded immediately and helped me with options. The service was friendly and so helpful and the thumb covers are awesome. My son just turned 7 and has quit a few times but the last time was just before COVID, he got an ear ache and it caused him to immediately revert to the comfort of his thumb... and ever since we have just been trying. I love these things. I bought 4 so that we have two pair and I can wash one each night and he will have it all day (except meals etc) and it’s been 3 days of no thumb sucking. He feels so motivated and empowered because he would do it without conscious awareness before so this is the most gentle and effective method to simply remind him. They’re comfortable and “cool” too and he has full mobility ❤️❤️❤️

About MakahiloMade
My Story
Thumb Huggers™ , thumb and finger sucker guards were created in 2013 when my daughter, then 7, was struggling to stop sucking her thumb. She would cry in the mornings in frustration about having sucked her thumb unintentionally during the night. So I designed something for her and two weeks later her thumb sucking habit was broken. Then I started making them for friend's children...and now here we are. I have made thousands of thumb, finger and hands guard for children and am happy to be a part in helping them break their habit.
Thumb Huggers™ are made with 100% cotton fabric and heavy duty fabric. They are made in a wide variety of fabrics and themes. It's important for your child to want to wear one, so I try to make most popular themedd fabric in stock and ready to make your child's Thumb Hugger™.
