We purchased this direct from the manufacturer. It has a flexible sensor pad that you place inside your child's underwear. This is, even when new, unreliable as it shifts and is very uncomfortable for my son. After it gets wet, it must completely dry before it will work again. It must be rinsed and laid out to dry in the middle of the night or it will smell in the morning If you wait to clean it, it won't be dry by the time you need it again. After you've used it a bit, it gets crinkled (or there is the smallest amount of moisture left in it) and you have constant "false alarms" where every time my son moved it would squeak and squeal.

If this was in the $20 range, at least I would feel like I got what I paid for. I was so desparate for help for my son that I got what I could get quickest, assuming they're all basically the same. My son HATED this, it was a complete waste of money and I went out and spent another $100 on a Malem (which actually works).

This product stopped our son from bedwetting in about 2 weeks.

Our son is 8 years old. We tried rewards, medication,no drinking after 6pm, waking him up during the night and all these attempts failed.

Just be prepared to be waking up yourself, one time I had to wake up 3 times during the night to take him to the bathroom. We also used their suggestion of leaving a brighter light on in the hallway. Our son started sleeping through the night dry by the 8th night and has been out of goodnights and in regular underware for over a month now.

After a couple of nights of use the pad was all crinkled and wouldn't stay in place and was very uncomfortable. My son would move and it would send off a false alarm. For the amount of money you spend on this product you would think they would include more than just 2 sensors. One gets wet in the middle of the night you have to replace it with the second, hoping by the next evening the sensors are dry enough to use again. It has not stopped the bed wetting.

The alarm pads are too big so they bend easy. Once bent, the alarms go off by themselves and do not work well after the first two weeks. I do not recommend this product.

It works if it senses wetness but if it gets too pinched/folded in the underwear it gives false alarms or a half signal which will cause problems. It is cheaply made and there should be a way to wipe down the sensor and wear again that night. I also wish it had a vibrate mode and louder signal.

Wish we would have known that the alarm goes off even when, the person is awake, consant beeping, even after it is cleaned and thoroughly dried. My son says we should ask for a refund!!

This alarm is amazing! We bought this for our son and he used it for almost 2 weeks. He has not wet the bed in over 3 weeks since he quit using the alarm.

We puchased this alarm through Amazon.com and saved $10-$15 dollars. We highly recommend this product!

Our 8 year old son is a very heavy sleeper and had only been dry a dozen or so times in his life. Our pediatrician recommended the Nite Train-r, and our son was really excited about the idea of the alarm. He didn't have any problems or discomfort from the pad. We did have a couple of false alarms, but it just shows you how sensitive the pads are -- meaning that at the first dribble, the alarm will sound. It took less than 10 days and my son has been dry and wearing underwear every night since -- not one accident! The alarm only sounded probably 3 out of those 10 nights, and that's all it took for his sleeping brain to get it. I wish we would have known about this/tried this sooner! It does seem kind of expensive for what it is, but I figure that we have saved a bundle in pull-ups, and it can easily be re-used or re-sold as used. All you would need are the inexpensive replacement pads for either male or female. Amazing product!!

When I came across this in my research, my son saw it and begged me to order it. He was enthusiastic about trying it and motivated to stop wetting (he is six and has only had a few dry nights ever in his life). Some kids might be put off by the alarm they have to attach to their shirt or by sticking a sensor in their pants, but he was totally on board with whatever he needed to do - and he claims it is not uncomfortable. I was skeptical as to whether the alarm would wake him enough before he had mostly soaked himself - so I was pleasantly surprised that the sensor pad was barely wet the first night when he woke up twice to the alarm and finished the job in the bathroom. It was very easy to rinse off the pad and hang it in the bathroom, replacing it with the new one. The second night he woke up three times and I could not see a drop of wetness, so I am amazed at how sensitive the pads are. I was also pleased that he was able to completely unhook, rinse and replace the sensor pads himself, so I did not even get up with him the third time. When he got out of bed and proclaimed that he was dry in the morning, he was beaming. We have only used it two nights so far, so I hesitate to give it five stars yet. But so far it is worth just seeing the confidence and hope it has given my son! We are optimistic that it will train him to wake himself in the near future, without the sensors and alarm. I would highly recommend giving this a try! If you follow the directions for prolonging the sensor pads, it seems they will last long enough for a child to be trained; and if not, replacement pads are available and worthwhile.

It took 2-3 weeks and my son was dry at night. He wet the bed every single night at least once and was already 7. We were desperate so even though some people reviewed this product as not good and the price is quite high we bought it. It was like having a newborn in the house again, waking us up every night. After a week our son was able to take care of the whole contraption himself (and it is quite a contraption). And he has been dry every night for 2 months now thank goodness!!!
