I have chew stim necklace that helps, it's just a little rubber feather that I can chew on so I would suggest something like that

One day I just decided to not chew my nails after 30 years of doing it. Then I slowly chewed off one by one after growing them out about half an inch. Now I have no nails again. I like that chew stim necklace idea I might try it. It's cheaper than the nail salon. Lol

I just looked them up. Lol. I found some that were quite small and looked like they were for infants so I think I'm gonna go with a bigger silver leaf/feather looking one.

Nail salon get the acrylic or the nex gen dip. That's what I did to help my partner stop biting his nails, they were too hard to bite and break then after this and broke his habit of it after a few weeks of getting them done

Probiotics made my nail biting disappear! It took about a month of taking them. I've always been a horrible nail biter, never could keep a sliver of white on any of my nails, and all of a sudden I just noticed my nails were growing out and I wasn't biting them anymore. Just had no desire to.
