We have had this alarm for about 4 days now. It works great. I have a 7 year old daughter who just hasn't been able to kick the habit of wetting while she sleeps. We have tried giving her no liquid after dinner and even went to the doctor and got the prescription nasal spray. I wasn't fond of the nasal spray, even though it worked great. So, we decided to give this a try. We got the one with the alarm and vibration, because my daughter is generally a heavy sleeper. I am not sure which part has woken her up, but it has done it job. It does go off with the slightest amount of moisture. I hear that after a couple weeks that she should be trained and won't need this. I will give an update on April 16th on where we are at.

This product worked exactly as promised. I would recommend it to any parent. Our son was dry in less than two months. The difference in attitude in our now "dry" home is just amazing.

My son is 6 1/2 and never had a dry night (oddly, he didn't seem to mind). After four nights of using the alarm, he had his first dry night. A few nights later, he began his trip to graduation of 28 dry nights in a row.

We used the alarm in conjunction with the book "Waking Up Dry" by Dr. Howard J. Bennett. Before we started using the alarm, we read the book together (it's written for parents AND kids). We spent a lot of time laying the ground work, getting excited, talking about what would be involved in the process, and how we would work together as a TEAM. My son was excited to get started. I believe the time we spent getting prepared and getting him excited had a lot to do with his success.

Do not hesitate to buy this product. It is a miracle worker. My 7yo daughter had never had a dry night in her life. We were fed up with pull-ups at night. She wanted to stay dry, but could not for whatever reasons. We thought she was just a very deep sleeper, but since she started wearing the alarm, she does not even need to get up an night to use the bathroom. She just holds it until morning-often times 8-10hours straight!! This alarm does not allow you to choose which of the 8 tones, but that's fine since the one you can set the tones on looks like a real pain to do so. You have to go inside the battery compartment and flip a bunch of switches. This one varies randomly between 8 tones, vibrates and lights up. We went from never a dry night to totally dry in less than two weeks. I can't compliment this product and the psychology/physiology behind how it works enough. It is truly a miracle product. Buy, Buy, Buy. You'll be glad you did. P.S. clip the alarm to your child's undies and then put a pullup over the undies. No reason to change wet sheets and P.J's. Thanks to all the other parents/reviewers for that great hint.

I highly recommend this product. I have a 5 1/2 yr old son who was wetting the bed nightly and even during any naps he took. The first night he woke up a couple of times, the first he was soaked but after that it was just a little. The alarm woke him as soon as he started to go. Each week he had more and more dry nights. We are now in week 4 and he has been dry for a full week. We will continue to have him wear it for another week and then see what happens. I absolutely believe that I would still be doing multiple loads of wet sheets if we hadn't gotten the alarm. I would suggest tight fitting underwear, we use a size smaller, so that the alarm is right up against the body. The couple of times we didn't he had soaked before the alarm sounded.

If you are wondering if this will work, my advice is TRY IT! My only regret is that we didn't try it sooner. The first week and a half was tough; really tough. We got rid of the training pants, traded for a rubber sheet and dealt with a wet bed 2-3 times a night with only an occasional dry night. I think the key is that they need to FEEL the wet, training pants simply whisk the moisture away from the body and thus it is easy to sleep through the night. But sometimes you have to be uncomfortable for a while to get what you want! My son is so happy and confident now :) During the second week the dry nights began to come...by the third week...ALL DRY!!! We are now in the fifth week, ALL DRY nights. Really, really works. Thank you Malem! P.s. the other great thing about this alarm is that it has so many tones, there's no way to get used to it and "tone out" plus it vibrates and is pinned on the jammies near the collarbone which helps them wake up. Make sure you have them change their own sheets; it helps them wake and realize that they wet the bed. Worked for us.

This thing worked like a charm. Our daughter was dry within a week or so and has remained so for a week since then. Worth the cost.

Only issue is the clip that goes on the underwear is VERY sensitive to moisture and sometimes you have to blow it dry before reattaching it if it's gotten wet.

I was skeptical when my pediatrician recommended an alarm for my son. Although I understood the premise, I didn't believe it would actually work. I tried it out due to his recommendation & the reviews I saw. This works! He was dry through the night in about 2 months!
The only thing about this is that this alarm wouldn't actually wake him up. I would have to wake him up when the alarm sounded. He's a VERY heavy sleeper, though. It wakes me up from his room when I'm one room over. I don't think that increasing the volume would make people happy!

This is an good product as far as bed-wetting alarms go.

My daughter had two complaints: 1) she didn't like having the wire attached to her panties, and 2) she didn't like the random noise that work her up. The former she could contend with, the latter scared her enough that she refused to use this unit.

We find the direction book really confusing and cannot make the alarm stop going off so we have found it useless. Whenever it's connected it is sending an alarm and we can't figure out how to fix it.
