AeroFinger Stopper Kit – Anti Finger Sucking, Biting & Licking Deterrent for Babies to Toddlers – Finger Sucking Guard for Bad Habit Prevention & Treatment – Ages 2-4, Under 40 lbs. - Small

Honest review!!!! 1000% recommend wish we bought sooner. My 2.5 year son sucked his ring finger obsessively. It interfered with his play time, sleep time- it was constant. We've tried every other method and left this one bc it was expensive but it was definitely worth it. We used this for 3 days straight and the habit was broken. It was extremely simple to use and my son couldn't remove it which was great. He ignored it for the most part and it didn't seem too uncomfortable. He was able to do every activity he normally would while wearing it and it was easy to keep clean. It fit him very well and his fingers had plenty of room to breathe in it.

My only regret with purchasing this is that I didn't buy it sooner! My 2 year old has been sucking her middle and ring finger since she was a few months old. I have tried everything- glove, cast, nail polish, even Wasabi! Nothing helped or she could take it off. I had this on her for 25 days and then slowly weaned her off. And voila! She has not attempted to suck her finger!!!! It comes with an instruction book which i thought was a bit much at first but turned out to be very helpful. Even has a sticker page to track progress. I ran out of bands due to doubling up at first when I didn't need it but just bought more. She faught me at first but then it became the norm. I only took it off for showers since she was too distracted to suck her fingers. Other than that, she had it on every moment- playground, jumping park, school, dinner, everything. I love this! Only problem we had is that she chewed it a little and it broke on the side, but still wearable.

My kid stopped sucking after 2 months. The straps were cutting into her skin though. I had to use a bandaid to prevent that.

Wonderful product that broke my 13 month old’s habit in 2 weeks. My son constantly sucked on his fingers - for comfort, boredom, and always for sleep. Now that he’s getting more teeth I wanted to help him stop before he develops complications. I used the two finger guard on index and middle finger. Kept it on tight and took breaks during dinner and bath before bedtime. His night sleep was interrupted a few times the first night but then he figured out how to sleep. Material is soft and flexible. He’s a new walker and falls a ton but had no issues catching himself with his hands which was my biggest worry. I would say it even helped his falls as it added grip. His hand was still functional even with the guard and he was still able to play with toys. So happy we finally broke his habit! Now I’m not worried about speech issues or expensive orthodontic work. Our pediatric dentist really recommended to stop earlier than later for the previous reasons. I definitely imagine it being easier to stop at a younger than older age as kids will remember things more.

Buyer beware: this will ABSOLUTELY impair your child's hand use! First of all, it is extremely thick plastic, WAY moreso than it needs to be, so it's difficult to bend (even as an adult) - unless your kid is the hulk. Second, the two fingers are FUSED together! Why?? Absolutely no reason. If the surrounding plastic keeps children from wanting to suck their fingers, why would the two fingers have to be connected to one another? Completely senseless, and again, doesn't allow the child use of those fingers. We'd noticed these issues ourselves, but the final straw was having a friend of ours who's a physical therapist caution us about trying to have the device on as little as possible - while 30 days will break a finger sucking habit, you'll have a whole other problem when your child can no longer use those fingers normally. Shameful and outrageous, especially for such an expensive product in the first place.

Our son has been sucking his index and and middle finger since he was 4 month old (he's now 7). So, you can say, we had a long road ahead of us from the start. Being a Dental Assistant, I'm familiar with the different apparatuses use to stop finger sucking. They can look a little torturous. I came across the product years ago, and had always found it interesting, while considering it for our son as he was getting older and the finger habit continued. I finally broke down and purchased it. Besides, it is so much cheaper than a fixed mouth guard or Orthodontics. Well, let's just say, it was unsuccessful. The design itself, is great! It allowed our son to stay his active self without any slow down. He could still write, play sport, and aggravate his siblings. It was a rough couple of days at the start, but we were making good progress; or so we thought. Because he is such an aggressive finger sucking, we had him in it 24/7; with occasionally coming off during bathtimes. His dad and I felt we were making progress. Until one day we saw his fingers in his month with the guard still on. I was gagged! This clever boy had learned how to hold the guard and pull his finger out. No problem! We just put it tighter. Same result. We added two bands. Same result! Safe to say, he is still sucking his finger and the guard is MIA. I guess next step is a fixed appliance and possibly Orthodontic.

I bought this for my 4 year old child who is blind and autistic. She bangs her fingers into her teeth and was getting terrible wounds. We were trying to bandage them and were having to hold her down with two people and wrap tape all over her hand. My husband even got called to the school to retape because a parent has to hold. And every time the bandage was off even for a few minute she would re-injure it. This product has really been a game changer. We have only had it come off accidentally once when she was sleeping, which is why we now have double bracelets. She can bathe, eat, sleep, and seems totally comfortable in it. It actually seemed to calm her as soon as it was applied. The wound is almost healed underneath. You can see under it and the skin can breathe but it gives decent coverage so I haven’t had to do any special wound care. I know it’s not for wounds but I’m sure she’s not the only child that has gotten to this point if parents are buying something like this. She has now switched to the other hand so we have to buy another one, and they’re not cheap. But I am very happy with the product.
