It really works! - The Nipit arrived at my home the very next day after ordering it. I was pretty excited to test it out on my 7-year-old. I planned to present it to him before bedtime. I told my son before the hand stopper arrived that I had purchased an item that would help him stop sucking his thumb in his sleep. He could not wait to see what it was. My son hated that he sucked his thumb in his sleep. I tried everything. Putting socks on his hands, the thumb guards, and the nail polish, they all didn’t work. He would take the socks and thumb guard off in his sleep. I guess he could tolerate the taste of the nail polish because it did nothing to help him. My child usually could control himself during the day like most children who suck their thumbs, he has triggers, and before he knew it his thumb was in his mouth. When Nipit arrived, I checked it out thoroughly. It came in a handy reusable outer packaging that you can use for storage and to keep the hand stopper clean. It has bright, fun colors and is surprisingly soft. The Nipit is made well and very durable. It has a padded elbow cushion, velcro flaps, and straps that are adjustable for comfort. An instruction card on how-to-use, a tip guide, calendar, stickers, and zip ties for additional parental control are all included with the hand stopper. You can also go to Nipit.com/start to watch a video on how to correctly put the product on and to read other valuable information. You can also sign up for their email while you there. They only send a few emails over the span of the 21 days to help keep you and your child on track. I was impressed with the idea of the Super Success Chart and colorful star stickers to keep track of his success. It was helpful to us because it gave him the incentive to remind me that he needed to put on the Nipit every night. He looked forward to the prize at the end of the 21 days. I also could tell it made him feel good every time he placed a star. The first night of wearing the Nipit, he was so pleased with himself, he slept through the night without sucking his thumb. During the day, he would request it sometimes because he would have a trigger and wanted to suck his thumb. This good behavior continued throughout the 21 days. I am so proud of him. He was determined to kick this habit. He had a few hiccups along the way, but for the most part, he stuck with it. I rooted for him every step of the way. He is now sleeping without the Nipit and is free of thumb sucking. I didn’t even have to use the childproof easylock system (zip ties). The velcro flaps and straps worked perfectly. The best part is I don’t have to pay to correct thumb-sucking teeth. At last, something that worked. I am so grateful for this product. I will be recommending it to everyone. Review: Worth The Buy! - Our little one has sucked her thumb since birth and we recently purchased this brace in hopes of helping her stop. With lots of consistency for about 3 weeks we managed to make progress. We tried the nail products and but got use to the horrible taste quickly. This brace really works! They can put their thumb in mouth but the resistance of the brace tires them out quickly especially at night when they are too tired to hold their arm. Wish it came in different colors like for girls but overall the best tool to break the habit! Fits very comfortably too! ## Features - #1 by Pediatric Dentist Recommended to make thumb sucking stop.

If wearing two NIPITs, your child will still be able to scratch an itch on their face, but it will be very difficult and uncomfortable to do so. By design, NIPIT makes it very uncomfortable to reach the fingers to the face. Great question! **Q: Can my child eat and write with this or does he have to take it off?** A: If it is on their dominate hand it would be very hard to eat with silverware or write detailed things with a pencil. But they could eat crackers or apples and use a crayon for broader coloring. The point of the thing is to prevent them from bending their elbow enough that their hand is close to their mouth. **Q: Would this fit an 11 year old?** A: The fit depends on the child's arm size. For best results, elbow circumference should be 5" to 9" (14-22 cm). Measure around the circumference of the elbow. To check, use measuring tape, or wrap a string around the elbow then measure the string using a ruler. **Q: Is this product made in china of the us? also does it hurt the child psychologically? just worried cuz i dont want any long term problems.** A: We just got ours in the mail today. I was excited to be buying a Made in USA product, but no. Right there on the packaging it says "Made in China". Very disappointed, especially considering the manufacturer clearly stated these were "proudly Made in USA". Not cool man. Not cool. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Nipit solved our thumb-sucking problem. It really works! *by M***) on June 24, 2020* The Nipit arrived at my home the very next day after ordering it.

With lots of consistency for about 3 weeks we managed to make progress. We tried the nail products and but got use to the horrible taste quickly. This brace really works!

Fits very comfortably too! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shockingly Easy and POSITIVE way to help kid *by C***Y on August 18, 2019* This worked SO well, I'm honestly in shock. We went from 24/7 sucking to practically done within DAYS and a lot of grins from our kid that was so proud. Background: Our 4-year-old was the most determined thumb-sucker since birth and did it day and night. We waited and waited, doctor said not to worry until 4 since most kids stopped by then, but he was still doing it day and night well past his 4th birthday and had already developed a visible cross-bite. We probably should have started something a year ago, but so many of the other methods felt cruel or punitive. I'm not afraid of some tough-love where necessary, but I prefer gentle parenting when it's an option and it felt like it was especially important to be gentle with something that was such a source of comfort. Using the Product: We were able to make this a super positive experience that actually made him excited to wear it, which was amazing. He wasn't totally on board with why we needed to do it, but once we were able to make it fun he was all on board. We called it his "supercharged robot arm" and he added the fact that it gave him magical powers. When he wears it he can give "supercharged" high fives and hugs that are super powerful. We hammed it up when he gave us high-fives and hugs. We told him he could have as many as he wanted since it might be tough. The first day he was a little whiney, said he really missed his thumb, but I kept reminding him of his new magical powers. We also pretended his thumb and mouth were having a conversation. His mouth told his thumb that it wanted to be healthy and be able to taste the prize ice-cream. He would tell me a lot that his tongue missed his thumb and I told him his thumb said "No way mouth, I want to play!" He thought it was so silly that his mouth and thumb were fighting. This all pretty much stopped after the second day and now two weeks in he just loves showing off his supercharged high-fives to everybody we talk to. He found it comfortable and he was able to play just fine, but we took it off to eat. We just finished up the second week and he's barely wearing it during the day, pretty much just during quiet time when I'm not watching him. We've had test runs during shows and books and he hasn't even tried to suck his thumb. This was so easy and tear-free and I love that I can probably reuse it for little sister that will likely need it too.
