NIPIT is a small, family run home business.  As siblings that once fought like Tom and Jerry, we are now a brother and sister team channeling that energy into innovating products with a purpose.  We love looking at products that help manage behaviors, and figuring out what about them doesn’t work and can be improved upon, and why they exist in the first place.

As former thumb suckers ourselves, our own dentist in the mid 80’s told us to wrap an ACE bandage around our elbow, and said it was the most effective approach to stopping thumb sucking.  And with our mom's encouragement, it worked!  And so, the NIPIT Hand Stopper was born to nip this problem in the bud, and rest is history.  See how NIPIT works HERE.

We believe in products with a purpose, and so we donate a percentage of each product sold to the Basal Cell Carcinoma Nevus Syndrome Support Network (BCCNS.org).  This support group plays an important role in skin cancer and genetics research particularly in children.

We would like to thank our family for their patience, and all the kids in the neighborhood for their feedback during product development.

Waste of money he was still able to fully suck his thumb with the nipit on

Company Response

Your child must be wearing the Nipit incorrectly.  Please read the instructions on how to correctly use the device, or reach out to our excellent customer support team!

Doesn’t work

I thought this was really going to work for my thumb sucker. However, he can still get his thumb in his mouth and it doesn’t seem to have deterred him at all. I’ve even seen him unconsciously sucking his thumb in his sleep with it on, so it’s not difficult for him to get his thumb in his mouth at all.

This product is awesome!!! My daughter is almost 7 years old and has a habit of sucking 2 of her fingers. This is the only product that I found to stop that habit. Day 4 and it’s already working!!! I would highly recommend this product.

Great Product!

Our 4 year old son has been a thumb-sucker since infancy. He wasn't opposed to stopping but anytime we reminded him not to suck, his thumb was back in his mouth within minutes. We gave him a choice between trying a thumb guard and a nipit. He chose the nipit and it is working amazingly! He doesn't argue about it and he reminds us to put it on. After wearing it for just a few days he can go hours without it and still not suck. I have never seen that self-control from him before! As a bonus, he plays more and has a happier disposition.

Amazingly Helpful

Our daughter doesn't suck her thumb, but her middle and pinter fingers, I struggled to find products that would work to stop this. This product is amazing. It's easy to put on, doesn't loosen as it's being worn and the videos that come with it are so helpful.

This device is very effective. However, my daughter can still slide it off even with the zip ties on it. She's pretty average size for a 2 year-old, about 27 pounds. I think the straps could use more holes for a tighter fit. We've paused using it until we can find a way to better secure it in place. There's really no point in using it until we can do it consistently.

The Nipit has been a great tool to help my preschool-aged daughter to stop sucking her fingers. We've been using it for 2 weeks and her progress has been amazing! I had resigned myself to having her suck her fingers until kindergarten, where she may be teased into stopping. I did not want this to be her experience, so I'm so glad we found Nipit, and that she was willing to try it. I'm hopeful that after 3 weeks she will have kicked the habit!

Very expensive but it is working just wish I could have been able to afford two because he switched arms and I had to buy a different type of brace for his other arm.

My little one can still put thumb in her mouth with Nipit on. It is more difficult with it on, but her thumb can still reach her mouth. Also there needs to be two Nipits per pack as it is not a high quality product for what it is priced. My little one just switches to the arm without the Nipit to suck her thumb which still makes it difficult to help diminish the habit.

NIPIT better than thumb coverings

My daughter has been using NIPIT for about one week now and it seems to be doing the job! We tried thumb coverings which did not work because she would just pull it off in the middle of the night. This is much more effective.

My daughter is having a tough time with this. She managed to take it off last night--though we only had one of the "locks" on. We'll try both tonight.

It is a good product, but it should come with two automatically for issues such as thumb switching. My son puts his other thumb on his mouth when he is wearing the NIPIT, I was discouraged by hits because I didnt know that could happen, usually it’s the one comforting finger that doesn’t switch but his does now.

I was hoping it would help stop the finger sucking on my 4 year old son. I wish it wouldn't be so easy to remove. My son constantly takes it off on his own. I can't keep him more than 15min on him before he removes it.

Good but not perfect

The ad says children like them, this is not really true. My child does get a bit upset when these go on, but the motivational program helped. We put closed sleeves on at night but if her thumb is out at other times she will suck as soon as we take our eyes off her. They are solid and I think comfortable. The plus is that my child can’t get them off.

As advertised

My daughter had successfully stopped sucking her thumb while awake, but once asleep, would suck her thumb. She has been wearing it to bed for two weeks and is very proud of her success. It is on the higher price point, but far less costly than the detriment of prolonged thumb sucking for sure. For our needs, the colours are fine, but additional colour options would be an asset to day time users.

Easy checkout, thanks.


Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
