Thumbuddy To Love™ is a positive teaching tool for children that comes with a story book, thumb puppet and success chart in a neat reusable package. It is meant for children ages 3-6 to help break the thumb sucking habit. It has been endorsed by dentists because prolonged thumb sucking can ruin teeth. It also received a Mom’s Choice Award 2009.

 

I was a thumb sucker and my mom tried everything from pepper sauce to gloves to get me to stop thumb sucking. All the negative things she tried just made me want to suck more. It was my grandmother that hand sewed a thumb puppet and a week later I stopped. I remember that it was positive and fun and it was something I could show off to my friends. When I researched products on the market, I noticed everything shames a child to quit thumb sucking including bitter tasting nail polish which has chemicals in it so I wrote the children’s stories…Thumbuddy To Love™ ( Thumbuddy To Love-Fireman Fred and Thumbuddy To Love Ballerina Sue) and designed the thumb puppets to match. Research shows that children learn best when it is fun and positive. Thumbuddy to Love has been in business for about a year and is doing well! We won a Mom’s choice Award in 2009. 

 

 

Inventor: Andrea Van Ness

Andrea Van Ness a former thumb sucker created Thumbuddy To Love for children to help stop thumb sucking and finger sucking. As a child she used to suck her thumb until it was red with calluses and all the negative things such as bitter nail polish and gloves did not work. It made her want to suck more. Her grandmother offered to make her a thumb puppet and that lead her to quit thumb sucking. As an adult, she wrote the award winning stories and matched the characters in the book with thumb puppets Ballerina Sue and Fireman Fred. Now she has helped thousands of thumb suckers break the thumb sucking habit.

My grandmother was a great seamstress and hand sewed me a thumb puppet with clothes and all. It was so neat that I was proud to take it to school and soon I forgot about thumb sucking all together. It was really simple, but the message was clear. I needed to stop thumb sucking and having the thumb puppet gave me the comfort and safety that I needed to quit..

This looks great - my kids didn't have trouble with thumb-sucking - but I know LOTS of kids who did and could have used something like this. Adorable!

Cute idea. I have my doubts whether it would work. If it is a problem I figure it is cute and worth a try. Price ok.

LenzBright is a complete kit for restoring your cars headlight lenses that have become hazey and dull.

Coudy yellow lenses reduce the distance a driver can see at night up to 80 percent. This can make night driving unsafe and illegal in most states.

Once the factory sealer has failed the lens surface begins to dull and discolor.

LenzBright not only removes the corrosion as  many other kits do but truly restores by replacing the factory sealer. Applying the unique formula will instantly bring your lights to an almost invisible clarity and shine.

LenzBright also comes with an extra item free, the Lens Conditioner. Use the Lens Conditioner for proper cleaning and care of your lenses.

Kit Includes:
Prep Cleaner
Lens Polish (for Lens Polishing)
Sealer (Factory Replacement Layer)
Abrasive Sheets
Towels
Lens Conditioner (for Future care)
Detailed Instructions

 

Research that brought about the Lenzbright kit began with the need to satisfy some customers. When a headlight needed replacing due to an accident customers quickly noticed the condition of the old headlight. It looked like their car had only one eye open with the old headlight being yellow and faded. Others noticed the increasing difficulty to see at night even when driving with the brights on.

We were able to strip off the corrsion and buff the lens which was a fair improvement but many lenses began clouding again rather quickly.

I found that lenses were coated at the factory with a protective coating. The coating could not be applied by hand so we began researching what properties were needed so the coating could be used by anybody without any special equipment. Two years later, after developing and testing we were satisfied with the results. When applied our sealer would self level, dry crystal clear and give the protection lenses needed.

 

 

 

 

Inventor: Ben Smith

Ben Smith has worked with chemical and coating application and formulation for over 19 years. He has invented several different products some of which are being marketed.

I used our Lenzbright system to restore a friends headlights. "There was one draw back" he said. What could that be ? He said "we have to remember to turn off our brights off because now we get flashed by the other drivers. We were driving with our brights on all the time to see better but never were flashed." He did feel better about his wife driving at night.

Product has no additional options.
