Approved by the Oral Health Foundation, Thumbsie®, multi-award winning and UK market leaders, design and manufacture fabric, fun & comfy thumb guards to stop children thumb sucking in a fun and positive way. Suited to children 3-12 yrs who want to stop sucking but need help! Great fabrics available.
Multi-award winning Thumbsie® was created from a real need when Jo Bates’s, founder Thumbsie Ltd, third daughter Isabel needed help to stop thumb sucking. Thumb sucking is one of an infant’s natural reflexes, it makes them feel secure and happy, some children also do it when they are bored.
However, research has shown that there can be a number of problems associated with thumb sucking in children. If the act of digit sucking is prolonged and aggressive, this may cause issues with the growth of the mouth and the alignment of child’s teeth. It also can cause changes in the roof of the mouth (palate)which and can cause speech problems.
Fits Like a Glove: The thumb guard is worn like a glove, it fits over the thumb and is secured with Velcro around the wrist, so is easily adjustable. The guard will fit either thumb and will not limit the child’s ability to play or use their hands.
Approved by professionals: We are delighted that Thumbsie® has been ‘Approved’ through the Oral Health Foundation Accreditation Scheme and that they recognise Thumbsie® as a useful aid in oral health.
