Strong Will Anti-Nail Biting Click Pen, 7ml, Made in USA

HALEILUIA!!!!! IT WORKED!! My Mother is 84 yrs old and has been chewing her nails and then the skin around her nails until they bleed .......for 84 yrs!!!So I chose this brand for a start to my journey of nail chewing prevention.I first very skimpily tasted it to see how it was going to work. WOW....Drastic measures for a drastic habit.There is no taste or smell, just extremely bitter and long lasting.This may deter eating because if tasted, it affects your tasting food properly.I did give my mom a lozeng to help relieve the bitterness in her mouth. It did help relieve it.But I ordered 2.....Just in case LOL

My son has sucked his thumb since he was 4 months old when he is tired, upset, or bored. He is now 2.5, and the dentist suggested we get him to stop before 3 years old. I did a little research and decided to purchase this. By day 3 he was no longer sucking his thumb. I stopped applying it after 5 days. It has been 3 weeks and he’s still going strong.It does taste awful. I tried it so I would know what he’d be dealing with and quickly decided that water wouldn’t be enough. I kept an applesauce pouch on hand and when he would forget and suck his thumb, I would give him a bit of apple sauce and remind him that he can’t suck his thumb because it’s nasty.I had been avoiding this transition because I thought it would be such a long and painful one, but this product made it incredibly quick and simple.

Overall, this is a good product, but having used more traditional nail-polish-type deterrants in the past, I found this to be less effective. I'm giving it four stars due to the application being very convenient and different, but the result was that I ended up biting my nails again more often, as I will explain.I am a lifelong heavy nail biter, and despite using deterrants for 2 years and trying very hard to curb the habit, it's still a challenge. For the last 2 years I used Mavala stop nail polish, which has an intensely bitter taste and is basically a clear bottle of nail polish with bitter chemical added. As long as I keep this nail polish on, I can't bite my nails. Although the polish is water resistant, it wears off in about 2-3 days and by the end of the second day, I may find myself putting my fingers in my mouth some and attempting to bite my nails despite remnants of the bitter polish still being there. This is where these deterrants all hit a snag for me. If I'm not diligent about keeping it on my nails, I go back to biting.Which brings me to the Nail Quail. I bought it to try something different. This product has a similar strong bitter taste, and the applicator is so much more convenient than the nail polish bottle. Initially I was extremely happy with the product because of how much more quickly I could apply it to my nails, and it dries fast too as it is water-based. However, also because it is water-based, I found that within a single day it has already washed almost completely off of my hands (I wash my hands regularly throughout the day, especially when I'm working). To use this effectively, I need to reapply it multiple times each day, instead of ~3 times each week. That doesn't mean it's totally ineffective, but for my case it isn't perfect either.The shape of the product is like a marker, and I think it's meant to be slipped into a pocket or purse to carry around and reapply when out and about. I haven't done this, but I suppose I'll need to start.If I could get a formula of this that was more water resistant with the same applicator tip, I think it would be just about perfect.

This product actually works! I've been biting my nails and cuticles for as long as I can remember. I've tried so many times to stop, but it's so hard because its a compulsion I do without thinking. I've tried various anti-nail biting products in the past and none helped. They either don't taste that bad, or the taste is delayed so I've already bitten my nail/cuticle by the time the bad taste kicks in which kinda defeats the purpose. With this product the taste truly awful and instant. I love that it's a liquid because I can use it with cuticle oil, or nail polish. It also absorbs into the skin so it lasts a long time though the bitterness does fade over time, but it's nice that it's still there even if you forget to reapply.

The pen itself is good quality, works well. The product goes on nicely & it’s easy to use. This is for my 10yo daughter, I bought this bc the one we usually used was out of stock. The major con & a reason I will be returning - it gets EVERYWHERE & ON EVERYTHING. I don’t even know how. Even once it dries it transfers to anything you touch, food, drinks, it then gets in your mouth, on your lips, etc etc. If we hadn’t already used a really good nail biting polish (doesn’t transfer at all) I maybe wouldn’t be returning this & assume this is just how it is. But it’s not, there are actual clear nail polishes for nail biting that don’t do this at all. For this reason, I would not recommend.

I’m surprised how well this product works. I apply the solution to my nails in the morning after I take a shower. It dries almost instantly and it lasts all day. You can’t see any residue on the nails. It doesn’t feel sticky. The taste is really awful. It’s a bitter taste that makes you immediately mindful your nail is in your mouth. I’ve tried other similar products in the past and it doesn’t last or it looks gross. I just started using this so I can’t say it fixes nail biting completely, but the product is great.
