Mavala Stop 10ml - Discourages Nail Biting and Thumb Sucking For Children and Adults, Transparent

This product has really helped me. I have been a nail/skin biter my entire life and it's a disgusting habit I've always wanted to change but found difficult as I bit my nails as a coping mechanism. As soon as I started using this product from day one I completely stopped. The taste is so bitter it really does put you off putting your finger anywhere near your mouth. The bottle is small but lasts a very long time as you only need to really apply it once every 4 days or so and even a small amount per nail will work. It does have a couple of downsides but easy to deal with. First is that I'm a man and it does make your nails a little shiny which is embarrassing but if you apply it the night before it should dull while you sleep and be more discreet. Secondly if you cook or eat with your hands you will get the taste on the food/in your mouth so make sure to use utensils where you can or get (disposable) gloves that are suitable for food handling. Overall though I still give the product full 5* since it is very effective at what it's advertised to do.

Got this for my husband and it worked so well. It lasted a few days in his nails as well as the taste which helped him to stop biting his nails. Also made eating finger food a but tricky as couldnt lick fingers without getting the taste in his mouth but was all worth it.

I’ve been biting my nails since I was 7 years old. I take medication for anxiety, and I’ve tried using fake nails, but since I didn’t have a proper base to stick them on, the glue caused an allergic reaction. My fingers became itchy and developed pus, so I didn’t know what else to do. This is the first time my nails have grown long enough to reach the tips of my fingers. This product, despite being unpleasant, works amazingly well. Even after washing my hands multiple times a day, taking showers, and scrubbing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, the product stays on. It’s incredibly bitter—very, very bitter. The smell is typical for nail polish. I absolutely loved this product

This is the only product that helped me grow my natural nails. The bitter taste is absolutely horrible and there was no way I could bite my nails.

Much better and more effective than the version many years ago. Bitter taste is very effective, but leaves a nice shiny coat, so nails look better whilst growing. Taste lasts for days, even with handwashing but can be removed with varnish remover !!!

This product was fantastic. Our daughter stopped sucking her thumb within 3 days. We only had to use it once. Couldn't remcommend it more for those who are trying to encourage their children to stop thumb sucking.

This stuff really helped me stop biting my nails. Then I ran out and after a month or so the habit crept back in, with some stress, anxiety etc in life, so I ended buying some different stuff for some reason - it was rubbish, it didn't stop me biting at all! S o I've just ordered more of this. Straight away my fingers come to my mouth and instantly get taken away as it tastes so bad. I highly recommend this for nail biters everywhere. Update - I'm now on my third purchase of this stuff, as soon as I run out after a while the habit starts to creep back, one application of this and no biting for 2-3 days for me.

I've been a biter for 45 years or so. To the point where I remove 90% of the nail. It's unsightly, sore and now because of covid, dangerous. So, I need to stop. This product has some really good reviews, so I decided to give it a go..... It works..!! I'm actually growing finger nails.. I've been using it for about 3 weeks. However, couple of days ago I had a relapse. This stuff lasts for about 3 days even with hand washing, bathing, washing up etc etc, so I got a little lazy and didn't apply every day as I had been. So, apply every day, its part of the deterant. If you get this stuff in your mouth it's tastes vile. As it should, but, the taste stays in your mouth for a long time. It taints everything, food, water, tea, everything. The only down side for me is this, it taints everything you touch too. I know that I bite the skin around my fingers too. So I painted the whole of the front of my fingers. But, it transfers to anything even remotely moist ie, sandwiches, fruit, crisps, even pistachio nuts.

It taste awful so it does the job properly

El producto es buenísimo, se lo puse a mi hija de 4 años y no se ha comido más las uñas! Sabe súper feo y si dura dos días. Eso si, el tratamiento se lo tuve que hacer 21 días no 10.

رائع جدا

تحفه وساعد بنتي انها تبطل عاده مص الاصابع بعد محاولات كتير مع حاجات تانيه جاب نتيجه من اول استخدام لان طعمه مر حدا جدا

I cannot tell you enough how much this stuff saved me. My 3 year old lets me put it on his thumb. It’s fast drying and immediately he has stopped sucking his thumb! It tastes awful lol. If you have a thumb sucker I 100% recommend this. I still use it every 4 days or so just for a month to make sure he doesn’t return to his habit.
