Product Description

Everything you need, now in one compact alarm. The Malem SELECTABLE combines light, sound and vibration to help even the deepest sleeper wake. A selection switch can be easily set to sound only, sound and vibration or vibration only. This alarm also has the added feature of allowing you to choose either eight different tones or one single sound. On the eight tone setting, one tone is activated each time the alarm is triggered to prevent audio accommodation, while the one tone setting allows you to choose your favorite sound to hear each time the alarm goes off. The alarm is connected to a clip-on sensor which detects moisture. This new Easy-Clip sensor easily clips and anchors to the outside of any close fitting underwear for boys or girls. NO sewing to hassle with or metal clips or snaps to come undone during the night. NO mini-pads to buy and attach each night! Sensor contacts are within the clip so skin contact or sweating will not trigger the alarm. The SELECTABLE alarm uses inexpensive AAA batteries that last up to 10 times longer than standard "button" batteries found in nearly all other bedwetting alarms. Look for our camouflage color, too.

My fingers hurts, so I'll keep it short this time:

My son is 6 1/2 (product does not recommend starting before child is 6) and we started alarm 10 nights ago. The first two nights he woke twice (around 12:30am and 5am) and was quite wet as he was just learning how to stop urine flow in midstream until I walked him to bathroom to finish. The next two nights he woke once (5am) and was still a bit wet. The next two nights he still woke once at around 5am but there was barely a wet spot. He did a great job of stopping his urine flow when the alarm went off. I was half asleep and thought the alarm malfunctioned until I really examined his underwear. The next 4 nights (where we are as I type this) he has been dry all night.



I can't stress enough parent participation and following instructions to the letter for success. Don't do it half way. Don't turn alarm off until both feet hit the floor, walk child to bathroom and let him finish urinating. Even if he has nothing left to urinate, take him to the toilet anyway--it is a learning process. Let him try to squeeze even a drop out. Change underwear and hook up alarm again. I put a night light in bathroom so he would stay in a sleepy state. I kept extra underwear in bathroom for quick changes. Even though they may not remember waking up at night they are still learning.



Even though my son has been dry 4 nights in a row, I am following the directions and I am keeping alarm on for 14 nights in a row (has to be 14 dry nights in a row). After that I will take alarm off every other night for another 14 nights in case he has a wet night again. The instructions say that if they have a wet night, then start the 14 night process over again. You have to follow instructions exactly for success.



Praise a lot when you see progress and don't ever criticize wet nights--just say nothing. If child has been wetting twice a night and then only wets the next night once, then that deserves praise as he is making progress. I also recommend using progress chart. Buy some fun stickers and boring stickers. Use the fun ones for good nights and the boring ones (just plain white round stickers) for wet nights. I told my son that if he is dry for 7 nights in a row (we have 3 more nights to go) then I would take him to Toys R' Us and he could pick out a nice toy for himself.



Good luck and be patient--the pamphlet states that it could take up to 3 months.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish we would have bought this alarm two years ago, October 13, 2007

Our 8 year old son had only had one or two dry nights in his life before buying this alarm. The pediatrician said not to worrry about it and that he would grow out of it. We just had him wear pull ups at night so he wouldn't feel bad about wetting the bed. We tried waking him up to have him go to the bathroom around midnight and restricting liquids but it really didn't matter, he still woke up with a very full pull up every morning.

Since he was starting to feel badly about it and wanted to sleep over at his best friends house without embarrassment of packing and hiding a pull up, we decided to consult a specialist. She met with us and recommended that we try the bed wetting alarm. I ordered it that day and we got started right away.

The alarm went off a couple of times a night during the first week and then once every other night or so for the next couple of weeks. After a little over a month, the results are just amazing. He has had 14 dry nights in a row and even started drinking water before bedtime to see if he could stay dry. We had a baby monitor in our room which helped us to hear the alarm right away so we could go in and make sure woke up (a couple of times he slept through the alarm at the beginning). The only advice I would give is to buy the pad to make the middle of the night easier while doing the training and have the child responsible for putting on the alarm each night and reattaching it when it does go off (with supervision). I think having to do those things forces them to wake up and be more aware.

I have never written a review on anything before but since we really struggled with this issue I want everyone to know that is does work and pretty quickly. It was so worth it and I wish we would have done this when he was six instead of eight. 5 or 6 weeks into the process, the issues has been resolved. We are going to keep having him wear the alarm for a few more weeks as we have read that there is some regression when stopping too soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Product Works, but not as well as I thought, January 15, 2008

I purchased this item because I was tired of buying Pull-ups and diaper doublers. My child is a very deep sleeper.

This worked at first, but we had a relapse, and now it won't wake him at all. All it does is wake us up, but it is too late. We are still stripping the bed 3 - 4 times per week.

Do not purchase this until you are really committed to following through. You might have quick results, but I would say hope for the best and prepare mentally for the possibility of a long haul.

The first week was like having a newborn again. We were up 3 times per night, stripping the bed and changing clothes. Our first dry night was on day 10. We bounced back and forth with one dry night and one wet night for weeks. Just when we thought this would never work, we had 4 dry nights in a row.

When you are ready to do this, make sure you have a waterproof cover on the child's mattress, and 2 or 3 changes of sheets ready to go. (And maybe a spare comforter). The real trick is making sure the sensor is on snug underwear. My other suggestion is to use a baby monitor. You want to wake up as quickly as possible after the alarm sounds to rouse the child.
