Nipit.com Reviews
About this CompanyNIPIT 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.

We have had the product for about a week. It's been hard to find how tight to put the device on. If it's too loose our daughter is able to slide them down her arms and take them off. But if we put them on tighter they seem to be painful. In the mornings she will wake up and cry that her arms hurt. That is our biggest issue so far.

Overall it was good.

Effective, gentle, firm approach to helping your child stop their thumb sucking habit in a clear and fair way. Following the guidance and instructions included increased our success. Although our four year old is resistant at times, having a chart to look back on for progress and positive reminders gave him the encouragement he needed. To see the look of self esteem on his face makes this process worth it through the difficulties.

So far so good. Child is going longer periods of time without trying to force her fingers into her mouth, even forgetting that she's not wearing her brace at times. She's motivated to make it work based on the incentive based plan that comes with the product.

Little pricey but worth it. We saw an improvement within a few days and now she only wears it at night just to make sure she breaks the habit of sucking her two fingers.

Nothing

I’m shocked at the difference this has made and we’re only on night 2. To be fair — I’ve been working with my 2 year old to only suck her fingers in her bed room, but now that is stopping with these armbands. We needed to use these because she kept picking at her face while she slept (scabs not healing). We were holding off on using these around the holidays because so much was going on. I’m glad we most decided to do it anyway. We put them on at night and at naptime. She does not usually wear them during the day, although we might start. Note: I do give a comfort item for her to sleep with. She chooses her Jesus stuffed toy or her teddy bear. Usually Jesus, because she also prays to feel better.

I'm glad I went through the website instead of Amazon. I'm really surprised at the quality and even the support I'm getting. I've already told my speech/language pathologist friend about this item. I will continue sharing about this product with anyone who will listen to me!

Kid is able to still suck fingers

Terrible, uncomfortable, not for active kids.

NIPIT is working great so far. Our 3 year old son sucks both his thumbs. We have been using NIPIT for 1 week and it is going very well. Our son is responding well and is ok with wearing it.

Found the website/hand stopper and easy to purchase
Victoria D - 10/12/2022
This has drastically reduced my 2.5 year old’s thumb sucking. She only wears it at night now since daytime thumb sucking was eliminated after a day or two of wearing Nipit.

My 4 year can still reach her thumb and sucks it
Company Response
We are very sorry to hear this! Please reach out to our Amazing customer support team for help. Most often this is because you have it on up-side-down.

It didn't work for my 4 year who sucks her thumb
Lauren - 07/31/2022
It does prevent finger sucking, but my kid hates wearing it. The positive reinforcement thing hasn't worked with her and wearing it always seems like a punishment. We will probably try again with it a little later and/or try some other methods.

no problems
Alexandra H - 07/19/2022
At first it was great, she was motivated and excited to try Nipit. However by the 3rd day her arm was hurting even though we took breaks from it. She still wanted to keep trying, so she kept a band aid on the finger instead. The reward chart helped.

Quick and easy shopping.
Katherine B - 05/20/2022
We have a developmentally delayed child that has very specific special needs: he tries to gag himself anytime his nose or tummy bothers him. This stops him from being able to do that and definitely worth the price for the piece of mind!

Clear, easy, straight to the point website and ordering system

Has worked for my 3.5 year old but my 2.5 year old can still comfortably suck her fingers when she is on her stomach
Sanda F - 05/12/2022
My son had no issues wearing it he loves it and he actually comes so that I can put it on. We did this the star charts and he loves that too. He’s still trying to put his fingers in his mouth, but for the most he doesn’t really have his fingers in his mouth as often. I also allow him to wear it at night and he has never cried so I think it’s working perfectly. He is about to finish his first week of wearing it and I have zero complaints.

Just bought it
Casey G - 03/23/2022
We have only been using for less than a week but it really seems to be helping my little girl. She does not give me a hard time about wearing it and it definitely makes her more aware of sucking her thumb when it is not on! I would definitely recommend buying this.

The arm band is definitely helping curb my son's thumb sucking habit. He still occassionally puts his thumb in his mouth but can't keep it there long. I would rate it 5 stars except for 3 things. At first my son complained that it was itchy, but he is getting more used to it and it isn't bothering him as much after 1 week. It was also a bit tricky to put it on correctly at first but it's getting easier. Also, it doesn't fit well underneath most of my son's long sleeve shirts so we have to put him in t-shirts. Not ideal for winter time, but putting it over top of the sleeves doesn't work well either. It tends to slip down his arm if it isn't right against the skin.

The Nipit site is user friendly--it was easy to find the information I needed and make the purchase. The arm band is definitely helping. My son is still sucking his thumb but much less than he did one week ago.

100% Great buy! Easy checkout shipping ss expected
Katie C - 08/25/2021
I wanted to love it so much, but it didn’t work for us. My daughter has always been a side sleeper, and sleeps on top of her arm of the thumb she sucks. With doing this, she was able to easily have her thumb in her mouth. It’s a great idea, just didn’t work for us. When she was on her back, I saw the magic of the NIPIT. But she spends way more time sleeping on her side, so I had to return it.

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.
