Bedwetting Alarm with Volume Control, 6 Selectable Sounds and Vibration

I will start this review by saying that the previous reviews were critical in helping us stick with the process and ultimately in making this experience a success which is why I wanted to add a review and share our experience.The child who underwent this treatment came to stay with us for awhile due to some challenges at home. When he arrived he had been wearing pull-ups at night for years and would only occasionally have dry nights. After doing some research we decided that an alarm would be the best support/intervention and I ordered this alarm based on the simplicity and positive reviews. While I had read the directions and personal anecdotes I was not fully prepared for how intense and iterative this experience was going to be.The alarm worked exactly as promised, when wet it goes off. The noise and the vibration work well. The variety of sounds was useful too, especially since one of the sounds didn't seem to effect him as much as the others. The problem we encountered was not the alarm but the child keeping the alarm on. The plus side of having an 11 year old do the intervention is that he could snap the alarm on and off on his own, which I could see being hard for little hands and fingers. However, he was also taking the alarm off at night because, well, he could. This lead to the treatment needing to go on for a longer amount of time. We tried to reason with him and celebrate when he would keep it on, but often in the middle of the night he would take it off for whatever reason and then would wet the bed.The plus side was that there were a good portion of nights when he kept the alarm on long enough for it to go off and stimulate his brain and body to get up. These nights led to him being able to get up and go pee when he needed to, before wetting the bed, and also staying dry longer through the night. The final and longest hurdle was staying dry through the final morning hours.Once he could make it through the night he was mostly wetting the bed early in the morning. Then it moved to him waking up at his normal hour while wetting the bed, which was accompanied by "the dream". The one where you think you're on the toilet but you're not actually. This last phase was hard because he would stay dry all night and then in the last moments of the morning it would happen, and he would have already taken off his alarm during the night. We tried adding an alarm clock to wake him up earlier, but that didn't seem to help. There was one point in week 9 when he had kept the alarm on all night and then he began to wet the bed, the alarm went off and he woke up quickly and finished in the bathroom. This was the last day he wet the bed. It seemed as though he just needed that final alarm to go off in the morning.Around week 6 we had 7 dry nights in a row and he was convinced he didn't need to wear his alarm. As we were working on him taking responsibility for his dryness we told him we supported him and let him make the choice. That night he wet the bed and felt really disappointed, like he had messed up the progress. We told him what was most important was that he believed in himself and that he kept working at it.The attitude and positive self talk was a huge part of the work. Initially he would say that he was broken and that there was just something wrong with him which was why he couldn't do it. We started saying some phrases every night before bed to help combat this and create new habits, "I can do this", "when I wake up in the morning I go to the bathroom" and "If I have that dream I need to tell myself I am not in the bathroom". We also started doing a meditation at night to calm down and stay positive.It took 10 weeks to stay dry. He has been dry for almost a month now. This was a lot of work, but totally worth it. There was a lot of sleepless nights for me waking up to make sure he woke up or make sure he was still wearing the alarm. There was still a lot of laundry and purchasing of pads to keep the mattress dry (we used a plastic sheet and the pads). We talked about pee A LOT. We didn't want to sweep anything under the rug or make him feel ashamed. We talked about how urine moves through the body, how our brain works when we need to go pee, and we celebrated every dry night or if it wasn't dry that he at least kept his alarm on.This alarm helped this kid achieve a goal that had seemed out of reach for so long. Once he made it through the 14 days he told him mom that his body just decided it was done wetting the bed.Sticker chart: We used it. He was motivated by seeing the progress and it was a useful tool for talking about the process and seeing the growth, especially on those days when he regressed. The stickers had different meaning throughout the process which helped us focus on what was important at different times.Rewards: We tried to motivate with rewards. While they kept him engaged at the beginning, they became less important later in the process.Waking with the child: our rooms are right next to each other so I didn't sleep in his room with him but I was able to hear the alarm if I kept our doors open so that I could go and wake him up when it started going off and get him to finish in the bathroom (very important part of the process)The right underwear and placement: Athletic material did not make for great underwear and the placement of the alarm was really important. He used cotton boxer briefs and it seemed best when it was placed on the front flap.

TWO WEEKS of wearing this and bed wetting was done!! After 11 YEARS of bed wetting every night!! We were advised for a long time by his pediatrician to let him sleep through the night and that he may grow out of it. Finally tried this alarm that was recommended to us by a friend. He wasn’t excited to wear it at first. After the first couple days of helping him wake up when it went off he was able to get up on his own when it went off in the middle of the night with minimal wetness, take it off, use the bathroom and go back to bed. By day 7 he was starting to sleep through the night without the alarm being triggered by wetness. He would have a dry night, then a couple nights of triggered alarm followed by dry night for the second week. The third week he was dry every night so we let him stop wearing it. (You can always do another few days of wearing it as needed) It’s been about a month now without wetting the bed AT ALL and it feels like a miracle cure and I almost can’t believe it. My son is happy he can feel confident doing sleepovers now. Granted, it states the time it takes can vary, each child is different and requires patience and support and it’s not their fault. This alarm though ⭐️👏👏🙏🥳👍👍

My 5 year old son has been potty trained since 2.5 years old but night time was always hard for him. After using pull ups he would have a good week of not wetting the bed but then go back to wetting the bed every night for a week. It was exhausting. I was about to buy the competitors $200 version but thought I’d try this brand for a lot cheaper. We started using this in early April. My son had a few “rainy days” (sticker chart included makes it visual for the kids) throughout the first couple weeks. The alarm that wakes them up is loud, loud enough that I would hear it through the camera and was able to wake up and help him. The sensor is very sensitive to moisture, which is good! The alarm makes their body stop peeing and finish in the toilet. After 2 months, we have stopped using this device and have had no accidents since. This was a game changer and I’m so happy it worked.If you’re getting false alarms throughout the night, make sure your child isn’t a warm sleeper. There were a few nights my son was sweating a little and the alarm went off because it felt moisture. Keep it nice and cold in the room and you should be good.

I bought this for our 7 year old son that still has bedwetting problems. All these type of monitors work the same way - a sensor that detects moisture, then some sort of alarm to wake up the child. Most are more exotic, including apps, etc, but also much more expensive. This one is basic, but works.We're about 5 weeks in and still experiencing nighttime wetting. I don't really see a trend to it getting better, though he did have a dry night last weekend. From what I read it typically takes 2-3 months for results. The one downside to these alarms is that a parent has to sleep with/near the child to ensure they wake up and go to the bathroom. that means my wife and I trade nights with him.So the unit works just fine, wakes him up, etc, it's the process in general that's tiresome.One anecdote - the same child also used to be disruptive in school. Smart and curious, but always disruptive, requiring interventions and multiple meetings with school staff. It cannot be a coincidence that *as soon as* we started the nighttime training, those behaviour issues disappeared overnight, literally. After the entire school year with behaviour issues (7 months straight), we are now at 5 consecutive weeks without any behaviour problems and those weeks just so happened to be exactly when we started the training.
