4.0 out of 5 stars
Worked with both of my kids, May 17, 2006
This review is from: Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration (Health and Beauty)
I highly recommend using a bedwetting alarm, to help your children acheive having dry nights faster.
Both of my kids had a hard time staying dry through the night. I tried waking them up to use the bathroom, and that didn't help a whole lot.
Luckily, I learned about the Malem alarm and it worked like a charm, and now they're both able to sleep through the night without having any accidents.
I do think this is way over priced, which is why I docked a star from the rating.
The good/bad thing is the alarm is VERY, VERY loud! Even though my room's down the hall, I was jolted out of bed every time it went off. Which was a good thing, since it allowed me to get to them, walk them to the bathroom, then reset the alarm again.
The only other drawback was the alarm was sometimes difficult to turn off, especially when you're still half asleep and you're fumbling around with it. So many times, my poor kids would be plugging their ears (the speaker pins onto their shirt, near their collar) as I frantically tried turning the blasted alarm off.
But, for the most part, I was very satisfied with this product and now my kids are 4 and 7 and neither of them have had a wet night in well over a year.

It's a Miracle!, April 27, 2007
This review is from: Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration (Health and Beauty)
We purchased this alarm after my 5 1/2yo son became upset that his younger sister was dry at night. So even though his pediatrician told us not to worry about it until he was 6, we felt he was motivated enough now. The product itself is really easy to use and functioned exactly as it was supposed to. My son never complained about it being uncomfortable and was actually excited to use it. The alarm is really loud and woke up my son and myself. This caused me to be tired for a couple of weeks since I had to wake up from a dead sleep and run to his room to turn the sound off before it woke up my other 2 children. This was the case for about a week. After this the frequency of wetting started to decrease as well as the amount of wetness. We used underwear underneath a pull-up so we didn't have to change the sheets. Pretty soon he was getting up on his own in the middle of the night to use the restroom. He accomplished this in 6 weeks. He has not had even 1 accident. This product really works. The waterproof bed pads that came with the starter package are really great as well. They are a lot softer, thicker and wider than the ones I purchased from one step ahead.
I would definitely recommend this alarm for kids who are highly motivated. I believe the motivation factor made the whole process go faster and smoother with a lot of cooperation and in the end a very happy child. It has helped his self esteem immensely.

Problem Solved!, November 12, 2006
This review is from: Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm - Purple 1 Tone w/Vibration (Health and Beauty)
I was not overly optimistic when choosing a bedwetting alarm, unsure of what results to expect. Much to my surprise, the alarm worked quickly and efficiently.
My daughter had wet the bed every single night for 5 years. Although our doctor recommended most children to be at least 6 years old, we thought she was ready. My daughter began to wet less each night within the first week, and was dry on a regular basis in just a month. The alarm was loud and effective. My daughter was on the top bunk, so it took a while to get her down, but we followed the directions and didn't even wake her younger sister.
Although other comments complain that the price is high, we have more then made out ahead since we no longer have to buy pull-ups.
I give this product 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who is serious and dedicated to teaching thier own child to stop wetting the bed.
We have had dry beds for 9 months and counting!!!
