Honest10 Nail Biting Prevention for Kids & Adults - Break The Habit - Safe Bitter Nail Polish Formula, Lab Tested & Pediatric MD Approved - Thumb Guard, Easy Application, Made in USA (0.25 oz)

100% recommend! I purchased this product because of the good reviews. My granddaughter is 3 yo. and a serious thumb sucker while holding the same blanket since birth. I painted her thumbs at night while she was asleep at night. On day 1, I painted her thumb nails during the day, so that she could c it was awful tasting. Nevertheless, I tasted it first. The taste stays in your mouth for a really long time, yuck . The habit was broken for sure by day 3. But to make sure, I continued painting her thumb nail for a week. It been 2 weeks and she doesnt even think about sucking her thumb nor her blanket. Even while she sleeps. However, after a bath or alot of hand washing, it will need to be reapplied because it washes off. No worries if you forget because they wont forget the taste lol. Her teeth were forming as a thumb sucker. I had to try something NOW. Please try this product 1st. :)

This is the only thing that's worked more than a week for my toddler. After hundreds of dollars spent on different things (thumb guards, arm devices to stop from reaching, other short lasting bitter treatments, star charts and rewards, etc.) This is the first product that has worked. It last about 5 days until I repaint and it strongly discourages my kid without making food taste gross too (which was my issue with nixxit bc it'd leak EVERYWHERE). So far I am so pleased with this. Dried quickly too so you can do it without worrying about it smearing. A gentle blow will dry it in 2 minutes. Thank God for this product.

It definitely works. My 3 year old stopped biting her nails within days. The only part that might deter people is that the taste will linger and trigger gag reflexes. It is strong but effective if you have tried everything and need a more intense approach. It will make everything you touch and eat taste horrible. Especially when eating any finger foods which can be hard for little ones but. I just had my daughter use utensils and she was fine.

Ok sooooo this stuff is disgusting!!! Which is what I wanted!!!! Trying to help daughter get out of sucking her thumb…we are three days on and it is working. I even placed on my nails with her to make it fun. (Bad idea) I’m not biting my nails again lol. States to place on there once a day…we put on once and it is still there. I can taste it. Haha!

I bought this for my 10 year-old son who is always chewing on his nails. We all know how gross boys are and how much dirt they’re always in. I was skeptical that this was gonna work for him, but the first time he went to chew on his nails and tasted the taste. He was absolutely disgusted. The downside is it only lasts at the max two days on his fingers because he’s so active with jiu-jitsu and constantly being outdoors. You’re gonna have to reapply it quite frequently if you have an active child.

It does work!! I have been trying to get my 5 year old to stop biting her nails since she was about 2. She would bite them till she was bleeding and for some reason would keep doing it whenever her nails started to grow back. I tried a different brand of nail polish before this one but she got over the taste pretty quick and then the pen dried up and she started biting her nails again. Well this time it is finally working!The first time I put these on my kids (my youngest wanted it on too since it looked pretty) they both gagged. And I do mean gagged. I seriously thought they were going to throw up. Thankfully they didn’t and the next time I put it on they didn’t gag at all and just said it was gross. After my 5 year old had been wearing it for several days her nails finally grew back! I had then stopped putting it on and, unfortunately, she went back to biting her nails again after maybe a few weeks. I then told her she had to have “nail polish” again to help her nails grow back and within a couple days she stopped biting her nails. Now whenever I take it out she lets me know she doesn’t bite her nails. So I guess it did its job! It just took a while.Overall I am pretty satisfied with this product! It is very expensive in my opinion. The bottle is very small, about the size of actual nail polish. But you get a decent amount of uses out of what is there. I am still worried my daughter might try biting her nails again later since she did so before but pretty confident she wouldn’t do it for long with this my putting this stuff on her. The color isn’t really “clear” as stated. If you put enough on it has a light brown look. (In the picture one hand has the polish and the other doesn’t.) This never bothered me or my kids. In fact I think my kids liked it. It didn’t wash off too much but that could be because of the way my kids wash their hands. The polish does dry pretty quick! I would recommend this before the pen thing I used before and when it comes to biting nails the price could be worth it.

This didn't really work for us but it could just be a preference thing.Our child did not care, she did enjoy having her nails shiny though 😂The battle against hands/fingers in mouth continues!

Definitely works! Doesn’t last 24 hours but has helped my toddler with her thumb sucking during the day. Still out powers the taste at night 😭
