This invention is a device for the prevention of thumb and finger sucking that utilizes a vacuum-breaking device such as a cylinder that is placed over one or more fingers or the thumb and prevents the formation of a sucking vacuum by utilizing air passages in or between the vacuum-breaking cylinder and the thumb or fingers. The vacuum-breaking cylinder is secured to the hand by means of a wrist band and a suitable means, such as one or more straps, for connecting the vacuum-breaking cylinder to the wrist band.
