Bedwetting Alarm with Volume Control, 6 Selectable Sounds and Vibration

I never write reviews. And I feel badly about it because I rely heavily on them when I make purchases. So this busy mama of four is taking the time to write this review because it has impacted my life in such a significant way that I have to share my story!My son is 5. I had him potty trained right before he turned 3. Mostly. He was NEVER able to keep dry at night. Everyone said it's a bladder maturity thing. Everyone said he will eventually grow out of it. Well 2+ years later and he is still peeing in his pants every single night while he sleeps and I am trying to be patient while praying and hoping he won't be 10 years old and still wetting the bed every night!So I did a little research. Turns out he wets the bed at night because he is a deep sleeper and he has not yet made the brain to bladder connection to wake up to go to the bathroom. So that is where this alarm comes into play. I admit I was quite skeptical. Or perhaps simply cautious in allowing myself any form of optimism? Anyway, this is how it works: you clip a sensor to their underwear, clip the alarm to the top of their shirt (or arm, with included arm band), and when they start to urinate while they sleep, the alarm not only rings, but vibrates as well.I chose this particular bed wetting alarm because it has customizable options. You can determine how loud you want the alarm to ring, which was important to me because my son shares a room with my 1 year old and I did NOT want my baby waking up. The unit never woke the baby on the lowest volume setting (I never tried it any louder). You can also choose to turn the ringer off completely and have it just vibrate, or turn the vibration off and have it just ring. So that was pretty cool. I chose to do both, volume set to lowest option.There is a cute little sticker chart that comes with the product, that for a 5 year old is super exciting. There are 3 sticker options: sunshine - for a dry night, partly cloudy - for a semi-wet night, and a stormy raincloud - for a wet night. A few days into week 1 and I wanted to give up already (LOL) because who wants to go back to newborn days of waking up in the middle of the night? Not me! But other reviewers said to be consistent, so consistent I was. It was hit or miss at first, in terms of how he did. The alarm went off every night for 9 nights, but some of those nights he had only barely started to urinate and he made it to the restroom! Exciting stuff! I still had to change his underwear because the sensor is super sensitive so any form of dampness and it'll go off. My husband thought it was ridiculous and borderline child abuse (exaggerating) putting this contraption on him every night, and it didn't help my resolve. Well then this happened: Day 10, 11, 12, ...seven days straight completely DRY ALL NIGHT!!! I am completely astounded at how well this thing worked. Last night my son and I were both so excited for him to go to bed without the alarm, and he did it again! He used it for a total of 15 days and we no longer need it.I do not think I can truly express how grateful I am to the creators of this alarm system, and to God for guiding me to purchase this! Its affordable, easy to use, and it really truly works!Here are a few tips/tricks:*As another reviewer recommended, I put underwear on first, clipped the sensor to that, and put a pull-up on over his underwear, so night time changes were a breeze and he could go right back to bed. Brilliant.*Also from another reviewer - if you are worried about your fingers getting too close to private areas, you can clip the sensor to the underwear before they put it on. It's actually easier this way so you don't accidentally clip something else by mistake. Ouch!*Some reviewers mentioned that they have sweaty kids and the sensor would go off from sensing perspiration. I do not necessarily have a sweaty kid, but what I did, that I think might work for those sweatier kids (those with boys), is I clipped the sensor to that extra flap of material in their underwear that boys have. I think it kept the sensor a little more away from his body, but still worked perfectly whenever he started to urinate. Just a thought.*Be positive and supportive with your child and dry nights are only a few weeks away! :-)I hope this review helps others not only choose this item (because it rocks), but also helps with application and just encouragement to power through! And my prayers that this works just as well for you!

My 7.5yr old daughter was wet most days before getting this device. The first week she was dry 3 days, the second week dry 6 days. She's now been dry for a month but wants to keep adding sunshine stickers to her chart every morning. She is so proud of herself. I was surprised how fast and well it worked for her. She now wakes up with a full bladder and goes on her own during the night. We only used the vibration setting and that was enough for her to get up and finish on the potty. The sensors worked great and she didn't even get any pee on the bed before it would go off. Just barely wet underwear. I am very pleased with this product. Cheaper than a new case of overnight pull ups too!

I don't have any complaints about this alarm! It is very simple to use. A child trying to attach it themselves might have trouble, but I always do it for my 5 year old son, though he likes to help me attach the blue alarm box to his shirt. When I researched bedwetting alarms, the most common complaints on some of them were false alarms due to sweat, and not being able to reuse the alarm until it dried out well because it would continue to go off. This alarm has not had either problem! My son is hot natured, but his sweat has not caused a false alarm. The way this alarm works, he would have to soak his underwear with sweat to set it off. Also, once the sensor is detached from the wet underwear (which you have to do before you can turn off the alarm, so a child can't simply push the reset button and ignore the alarm), you can immediately reattach it to dry underwear and it's good to go! The sensor is very sensitive to wetness, though. So much so that my son has accidentally leaked a tiny bit in his underwear twice after he was awake but hadn't taken it off yet, and the alarm started going off. My son accidentally dropped the blue box in the toilet once. It went off incessantly until we took out the batteries, but after we let it dry out completely it has worked perfectly since then. When that happened I went ahead and replaced the batteries as a precaution, but that's the only time I've replaced them so far.We are on our 8th week using the alarm. I can't say that he is cured yet, but his bedwetting has greatly improved!! I was having to change the sheets multiple times a week before getting it, and that was with me taking him to the bathroom 2-3 times a night usually!! With him using the alarm I have rarely woken him to go to the bathroom, wanting to let it do it's job. There have been 6 times he has wet twice in one night, and I really expected that to happen more often, especially in the beginning. The alarm does not wake him up (it is very loud, and has the options of multiple sounds and a vibration, but he is just a very hard sleeper!), so I sleep in his room at least part of the night so I can wake him up immediately when the alarm goes off. The sensor is clipped to his underwear and then he wears a pull-up (we call them "special underwear" so he still feels like a big boy) over his underwear, so that helps contain the wetness most of the time. I haven't had to change his sheets near as often.He loves the sticker chart! If he wets, he gets a rainy cloud sticker. If he is dry, he gets a sunshine sticker. If he wets a little bit, but we catch it and he finishes mostly in the toilet, he gets a partly sunny sticker. We just took him out for ice cream because he now has more sunshine stickers on his whole chart than the other two stickers combined!! So far the most sunshine stickers in a row he's gotten is 5, but he's improving! I keep notes on the approximate time he goes to sleep and when he wets. That has helped me learn some things in this process too.Even if he is not completely cured of bedwetting by the time we reach the end of the 12 week chart, I feel we will still be far ahead of where we were when we started. I am so glad I bought this particular alarm! It has been well worth the money, and I don't see any need of a more expensive one when this one has done a superb job!!Update:It's been nearly a year since we stopped using the alarm. We went through the entire program, and he still had wet nights near the end, but something seemed to click after we finished the program and stopped using the alarm. When we stopped using it, I started taking him to the bathroom in the night only one time, about an hour after he went to bed (prior to using the alarm I would take him multiple times and he still wet the bed). Gradually I was able to expand the time before I took him, and he continued to stay dry. After 6 months of that I stopped taking him altogether. It has now been almost a year since the last time he wet the bed!! He can drink as much as he wants and no problems!! I really think the alarm helped us in this process greatly. I am thrilled I don't have to take him to the bathroom at night, or limit his drinks anymore!!!Be patient. Use the alarm for the entire program. Take notes along the way. It will help you!!
