It does the job!
I tried different brands in the past and they weren't as strong/ bad taste as this one and after washing hands you would have to apply again to be effective.
With Mavala you definitely won't be able to bite your nails as it tastes extremely bad! And the taste stays for a couple of days even after numerous hand washings.
Also suitable for children who sucks their thumbs.Read full review

It works!!!
Our little thumb sucker said she wanted to stop as she started losing her baby teeth (she is 5 3/4 years old).
She’s been sucking her thumb in utero (when she was in my tummy)!
With the help of this product she stopped within a couple of weeks!
Expect that your child will be grumpy when they are in the process to stop thumb sucking and they’ll be grumpy afterwards too; they are losing their comforter!! Be super kind to them, super patient with them, praise them lots and give lots of cuddles, tell them they can do it, and that they are doing well! Tell them you know it’s not easy and you are very proud of them!
Best Wishes!Read full review

Strong
I am not sure how to rate it. It wasn't appropriate for my daughter as it was too strong for her- she was sick after putting finger into her mouth and could taste it when eating finger food. I guess it will work really well for adults. I bought it as it was described as can be used for children but I believe it's far to strong for the wee ones. Read full review

IT WORKS
Yukky taste. Clear liquid suitable for boys n girls. Stopped my 11 yr old son biting his nails. Would definitely recommend this product & the eBay seller.

Does what you expect!
Used on my 7 yr old son for whom I haven't cut his nails for at least 6 months. Painted this on and told him it would taste horrible if he continues to nibble his nails. Seems to have done the trick. Its a real shame it can't be matt as he's not so impressed that he looks like he's wearing nail polish but I guess thats the rub!Read full review

Worked after one use!
Great product. Bought this as my 4 year old son used to suck his thumb and he stopped after the first use. It tastes bitter and so far it’s been a week since I first used it but he hasn’t sucked his thumb again. Hopefully this will be permanent. Cannot recommend this enough. Read full review

Mavala stop
The best nail biting remedy! It doesn’t taste horrible if you put hand to mouth briefly by accident or when you are eating etc but only when you bite do you get the disgusting taste so you don’t get used to it easy, it’s more like a nail varnish the other brands are water based so you get the taste every time so in the end you don’t care as you always have that taste anyway so they have never worked for me. This is my every day deterrent, fab stuff. Read full review

No more thumb sucking
Stopped my 4 year old from sucking her thumb within 1 day. Asked at lunch time if she wanted some nail varnish on then said nothing more. Bed time came, she put her thumb in her mouth and instantly said, "I dont want to suck my thumb anymore dad". 2 Weeks later and she hasn't done it since. Tried Tthumbsys and elastopasts without any success, it got to the point where the dentist warned she needed to stop sucking her thumb or she would get long term damage to her big teeh growing in.Read full review

It's great
It's stopped me biting the skin around my fingers which was becoming a problem for me. But not anymore!
It tastes like poison, but obviously harmless. Looking forward to having nice smooth fingers.

Does the job
The taste is disgusting and my nails started to look good as I stopped biting them but after a couple of weeks got used to the taste and started biting again. A good item that I must apply again soon.Read full review
