DRYEASY Bedwetting Alarm with Volume Control, 6 Selectable Sounds and Vibration

I don't write reviews often but I had to for this alarm. And I've never written one with this much detail, but it was necessary. My step-daughter, 8 yo, has always wet the bed. I don't mean an accident here or there. I mean full on peeing in an overnight pull-up, every night. Not a little bit, but often soaking through the pull-up. Her doctor reassured us there was nothing wrong and that eventually her brain and her body would catch up. She was getting more embarrassed by it and being in a soaking wet pull-up overnight was irritating her skin. So after doing a ton of research on bed wetting alarms I decided on this one. And I am SO glad I did. We started off by setting up an air mattress in her bedroom for one of us so we could sleep in her room with her. This is key for the first 3ish weeks. She needed to have a parent with her to ensure she heard the alarm go off and to get her to the bathroom immediately. The first week I'd say the alarm went off 3 times each night as she started wetting the bed. We'd get her up and bring her into the bathroom to finish in there. By week 2 it was going off 1-2 times a night and she was waking up immediately by herself. It was still important for one of us to be with her to ensure she got up and to help her clip the alarm back on. By mid week 3 we decided to let her handle the alarm by herself at night because she had been waking up as soon as she heard the alarm going off. We also did a few practice rounds of her clipping the alarm back on herself so she could do it if we weren't there. By week 4 she was down to having it go off once and it tended to be early in the morning. She was holding her pee all night long (YAY!) and it would go off around 6am ish because she'd start to have an accident. We're now on week 13, since we started the alarm, and she doesn't use it at all now. Around week 8 she started asking to stop using it but we told her we wanted her to keep it on just in case. It was around week 10 we stopped using the alarm all together. She has maybe 1-2 accidents a week now and it' always early in the morning. She's made so much progress and we couldn't be more proud of her and she's proud of herself. This alarm has given her a sense of confidence that she hadn't had before. Some tips to share: When she started using the alarm we put underwear on her and clipped the alarm into those. We then put a pull-up on top of that. This allowed her to still feel the wetness in her underwear and for the alarm to go off. But it prevented us from having to change the sheets multiple times a night. We kept this up for quite some time, until we felt comfortable the accidents would only happen infrequently. That being said, since she still has them we put a pee pad down on her bed so if she has an accident her sheets aren't soaked through and she can easily take the pee pad off and put another one on. We've empowered her to handle her accidents because it helps ensure she knows she accountable. When using the alarm be sure you wipe the prong off after each accident. If you don't the alarm will sense wetness and continue to go off. It's super sensitive to wetness/dampness but it's suppose to be. In the moment it would get annoying that it would keep going off and we'd have to have her go back in and wipe the sensor and re-wipe herself, but that's the point of the alarm. We'd just remind ourselves it's doing exactly what we need it to be doing. The clip can be tricky to attach. I'd suggest practicing, both child and adult, so you're not fumbling with it while the kid is in soaking wet underwear in the middle of the night. Overall I cannot say enough good things about this. We really thought we were stuck with her wetting to bed and wearing pull-ups to bed for many years to come. It does take patience but it's so worth it!!!

So I don't normally write reviews but I felt like I should because this has really changed our entire night time life! When I got this I was at my Wit's end and my five year old twin daughters were still wearing Pull-Ups at night. I talked to the pediatrician about it at their five year appointment and she explained that 15% of normal children with no biological issues will have bed wedding until age seven when they finally mature out of needing some sort of diaper at night. This seemed crazy to me and we have tried everything to encourage they're readiness to be pulled up free at night time and they also were saying that they didn't want to wear pull-ups anymore. Looking back they were potty trained during the day at 3:00 or 3 1/2 years old and they were pull ups at night. They were never dry in the morning and they were wild cards during the day for naps. I ended up reading a lot about the bladder brain connection during sleep and young children and I told myself maybe they're just sleeping so deeply that there bladder can't get through to their brain to wake up and go to the potty. Long story short and getting pregnant and I was determined to find a way for them to understand during sleep to wake up and go to the bathroom especially since when they would have accidents they were so upset I could tell that it was all very involuntary. Nonetheless the constant cleaning of dirty sheets was driving me crazy and the sleepless nights while I was pregnant and already having trouble sleeping was just killing me. Finally I bought two of these alarms and extra large dog pee pads. I taped the dog pee pads to the mattress underneath of the sheet where they sleep so that I didn't have to keep cleaning the mattress cover. I could peel the dirty sheet off and then throw away the pee pee pad and start over. We started with these pee alarms from day one with normal cotton underwear alone because I think that Pull-Ups give the child a sensation of a diaper and even subconsciously makes them think it's okay to release the urine so we got completely away from anything that felt like a diaper. I showed them what it would sound like and feel like we talked a lot about it all day long they were very excited to try them. I then slept with them for the first night so that they could experience it with me right there and it wouldn't be too disorienting the first time knowing that they would pee and it would sense it. The sensor is very very accurate and very sensitive do not be misled by the price these are very good. Actually I believe my husband said how much did you spend on this and I told him and he said oh well they're going to be junk there's more money wasted on Amazon! Boy was he wrong!it took my one daughter about a week to 10 days before she could get consistently into more than two or three days dry. My other daughter who was definitely having a harder time all around with this but had the emotional desire it took her more like two to three weeks to get into a rhythm. The sensor gets clipped to the outside crotch of the underpants and then we clipped the control box to the front chest of their shirt because if they were laying on their side or their back it seemed to be the most comfortable spot. We never put it on their wrist, I would then wrap up the rest of the cord which is a bit long but probably perfect for an older child and I would stuff the cord into their pajama pants so there wasn't any slack otherwise it's just kind of everywhere in the bed. You can set it to vibrate and make noise and I did this and it worked out well I was a little worried that if one kid was alarming the other one would like false alarm and wake up but this hasn't happened yet. And they sleep in the same bedroom. I have no other device to compare this to but for something that is temporary it seems to be a real deal of a price and it does function and work exactly as advertised. We've used the batteries that it came with since we got it probably 4 to 5 weeks ago haven't changed them since. Now that we've been at it for over a month and they've had sleepovers using them and no accidents for quite a while we will probably start to wean off of them. I'm getting ready to have a baby and prior to this I was waking up all night long waking them up so that they would go to the bathroom thinking that maybe it would help them to understand to wake up all night long to pee and I realized that it wasn't really teaching their brain or their bladder anything but these alarms do actually start to condition them to understand in a sleep state to wake up and go to the bathroom it's amazing. Don't hesitate, buy it!

Update: We have used this alarm for almost a month now and it has worked perfectly. He now has a full week completely dry and has only had two alarms for tiny leaks in the last two weeks. The alarm woke him so early, that he only had a drop or two in his undies and we didn't have to change bedding at all. I'm very happy with this alarm. Also, for a kiddo who sometimes carries the alarm by the cord and swings it around by the cord, I'm very pleased with the quality of the product. It has held up well. We don't clip it to pajamas - just lay it on my son's bed or pillow next to him because he doesn't wear a pajama top to bed. We've only has one single instance of the alarm not sounding - the second week we used it, my son clipped it a bit too high up on his underwear, so it was not near where he actually wet. That was easily fixed by making sure the alarm is positioned right where it should be and we've had no other issues. If I'd known it would work this well, I would have bought it sooner. We followed the recommendations of having a parent sleep in the room with him for the first two - three weeks, so that we could get him up immediately to go the bathroom, as soon as the alarm sounded. I think that initial routine of making sure he was up right away and not sleeping through the alarm or just resetting it while wet is what helped us have quick success. __________________________________________________________ Original Review: We've used this alarm for a week now - so far, so good! Exactly what we had hoped for. It alarms immediately when it should, with no false alarms. I researched lots of brands before choosing this one based on reviews, features and price. We read the directions and plenty of reviews before we started. I let my son decide when he was ready. He chose the volume and alarm sound and I chose sound and vibration for extra help waking. He doesn't wear a pajama shirt to bed, so I used a cloth headband as an armband and clipped the alarm to it - rather than to a shirt. My son has also slept with the alarm next to him or on his pillow and we've had no problems with it at all. The cord seems to be attached well. I do wish it came with a soft armband, but it works really well, is reliable, and a great price. The first time we tested it before bed, he went to the bathroom and dripped a bit in his underwear, so when he attached the sensor to his undies with wet drips, the alarm went off before we even started. But, he realized why (undies were a tiny bit wet) and now he just makes sure he dries off before pulling his underwear up. This alarm has worked perfectly. It sounds as soon as there is a drop of moisture and I take him right to the bathroom. It hasn't given any false alarms and hasn't missed any accidents. It resets easily with no washing or unplugging - just hit reset and dry off the sensor. My son can clip it on his undies with no help from me.The noise is loud enough, but I still get him up right away, so that he doesn't go back to sleep or become used to it. We want to help the process/habit go faster by heading straight to the bathroom when it sounds. We have used undies only with the alarm and have several cloth waterproof mattress pads we ordered here on Amazon that just lay on top of the sheets. If the alarm sounds we go to the restroom immediately, he empties his bladder, changes to clean undies, clips the alarm back on, and if the mattress pad got wet, we just peel it off, lay the next clean mattress pad down on top of the sheets, and go right to bed - with no changing sheets. If we have any problems, we'll update later, but so far this is exactly as it was advertised!

I am writing this review in hopes it will help other families going through the same things I went through with my son. My son is 7 years old and I tried everything to help him stop using a diaper at night (no liquids after dinner, waking him up once a night to have him go pee, etc.) And nothing worked. So after reading the reviews for this alarm, and since it was an affordable price, I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did! It took longer than I expected (the full 12 weeks) and was a big commitment on my part to see it through, but my son has been dry now for over a month. I would help him put the alarm on every night, as it proved tricky for him to set up by himself. And I slept in his room all 12 weeks to help him through the process. Each night, I attached the cord to his underwear and then put a pull up diaper over top to keep from having to change sheets every day and also to hold the cord in place. He used the arm band for the unit and wore a shirt overtop to hold the cords and unit in place. The unit is loud when it goes off (I would jump up from a deep sleep when I heard it from across the room) but he never once woke up by himself from it. To turn it off in the night, I would unplug the end of the cord from the unit, hit reset, and then help him into the bathroom to help him change his underwear and diaper. The next morning, he would not remember anything from the night before. This went on every night for the first 6 weeks. Some nights he would continue peeing right through the alarm, and some nights he would stop peeing when the alarm went off even though he didn't wake up. There was no pattern or apparent progress to the lack of peeing, and I began to doubt whether the alarm was helping him and thought about quitting. But I went back to these reviews and re-read them. Plus I went on other alarm websites and learned that it was not necessary or important for him to wake up to the alarm, but that it was still subconsciously teaching my son. So I stayed with it. And around week 8 he started to consistently have dry nights. I would hear him get up and go to the bathroom all by himself without the alarm going off! It was amazing to see first hand how this worked. He still had a few wet nights when the alarm would go off, and he still slept through it and I would have get him up, but those nights were becoming fewer. Finally at week 11 he went the whole week without a wet diaper and he has been dry ever since for the last 30 days! He stopped using the alarm after week 13 and stopped the diapers after week 14. He now gets up all by himself in the night, sometimes twice a night, and goes to the bathroom. (Interestingly, even now, he doesn't remember getting up and using the bathroom from the night before.) My son is so proud of himself and so excited not to be wetting a diaper at night, it has completely changed his life. This specific alarm is good. The batteries have lasted and the unit still works great. My son also loved the progress stickers and putting them on the chart each night. Even now he wants to continue doing that. The alarm is a little tricky to set up and turnoff, so gave it 4 stars rather than 5 but would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, well built alarm.

This may be a lengthy review, but I do hope if you have a child with chronic bed wetting issues, you will take the time to read through my experience. And if you don’t want to read throught just know that I LOVE this little device and it works! My son is almost 7, and he has been wetting the bed since he was potty trained at just before 3-years-old. I finally spoke to his doctor, because I was fed up with washing cloth training pants and sheets every. single. day. She suggested the alarm, explaining that it helps to wake even the deepest of sleepers. We had him sleep in our room on his old crib mattess so that I could wake up too to help him the first few times. The second two nights (which were really the first two, but my son was a little too enthusiastic and marked the first night off before we actually used the alarm 😆) he did sleep through the alarm. But as the days progressed as soon as the alarm would go off he would stop peeing and get up and go to the bathroom. It was like a miracle! The second week was a little tougher, but I knew this was going to take six weeks at the least and 12 at the most. And as you can see from his chart we’ve only had one heavy bed wetting day since the second week. We just finished week 6 and last night he asked if he could sleep without the alarm. I was little nervous to let him, but he had all dry days this week, so I gave it shot, and sure enough he was just fine! 👏👏👏 Couple of things I wanted to mention were in regards to two negative reviews. One person said she was worried about the cord being too long. So I put the alarm on my son and took some pictures showing, it’s not possible for the cord to wrap around their neck. Also if anyone is worried about the length you can easily shorten the wire by wrapping the arm band around it, or just having your child wear a night shirt. The second person seemed to think the batteries died quickly. It’s possible the device they received was defective, but we’ve had it for 6 weeks now and I have not had to change the batteries once. There were a couple of times when the alarm didn’t go off resulting in heavy wetting, but I realized it was because he was laying on his side and I hadn’t placed the sensor in the middle of his underwear. As soon as I fixed that problem the alarm would go off at the first drop of wettness. For anyone who feels like this is invasive trying to attach the alarm to your child’s underwear, I just attach it to a clean pair and have him change at night, so that I’m not trying to attach it while he’s wearing them. It’s easier to clip it on without him wearing them anyway. He did complain a few times about it pinching so I would have to adjust it. But my son has Sensory Processing Disorder, so I’m amazed that he has worn this alarm consistently, and thankful because it works! I hope you got through this review, and I hope you decide to give this a try. I would recommend it anyone who’s child sleeps so deeply they can’t wake up to go to the bathroom, it was been a miracle for us!

We ordered this a few months ago for my 4.5 year old son who has been potty trained for 1.5 years but still wets at night. He either sleeps through it or doesn't care because he wakes up in the morning wet (we took pullups away a couple months before I ordered it) about half the time and it doesn't seem to mess with his sleep. We thought this would be good because we could get a sense of when he was peeing and also get him in the habit of getting up to use the potty. Right when we ordered this, he randomly had a stretch of dry days so we held off on using it. Then we were away. We finally started using it about 2 weeks ago (the dry days had been a fluke!). Some nights its woken him on first drops, and he's gotten up and used the potty. He's barely damp and feels good about getting up and using the potty. That's how its supposed to go. Other nights (its been about 50/50) it either doesn't wake him or it spooks him and he sits and cries in bed rather than getting up. By the time we get to him, he's soaked. Those nights suck. But its still early. The design is kind of flawed in my opinion. You can't make the horrible noise stop without disconnecting it from the damp/wet underwear, which isn't something a child can do. So even when the kid is doing the right thing, the machine keeps screaming till an adult can get there to disconnect it. There is a reset button that's easy to press (my 4 year old can do it), but as soon as the sensor gets wet again, the alarm immediately sounds again. Which is why you need to fully disconnect the sensor before hitting reset for the sound to really stop. Also, less than 2 weeks into using this (10 days), the batteries died and we didn't know it. This led to a night where no alarm went off not because he didn't wet, but because the alarm went off almost silently. I'm surprised that an item that had only gone off 8 times for less than a minute each time had drained 2 batteries already. That isn't very efficient. There isn't an off button so I don't know if its drawing power all the time while the sensor is waiting for moisture?? The sticker chart that comes with it is nice. So far no progress for us so its hard to give this too favorable a review but it may just be too early.

I will start this review by saying that the previous reviews were critical in helping us stick with the process and ultimately in making this experience a success which is why I wanted to add a review and share our experience. The child who underwent this treatment came to stay with us for awhile due to some challenges at home. When he arrived he had been wearing pull-ups at night for years and would only occasionally have dry nights. After doing some research we decided that an alarm would be the best support/intervention and I ordered this alarm based on the simplicity and positive reviews. While I had read the directions and personal anecdotes I was not fully prepared for how intense and iterative this experience was going to be. The alarm worked exactly as promised, when wet it goes off. The noise and the vibration work well. The variety of sounds was useful too, especially since one of the sounds didn't seem to effect him as much as the others. The problem we encountered was not the alarm but the child keeping the alarm on. The plus side of having an 11 year old do the intervention is that he could snap the alarm on and off on his own, which I could see being hard for little hands and fingers. However, he was also taking the alarm off at night because, well, he could. This lead to the treatment needing to go on for a longer amount of time. We tried to reason with him and celebrate when he would keep it on, but often in the middle of the night he would take it off for whatever reason and then would wet the bed. The plus side was that there were a good portion of nights when he kept the alarm on long enough for it to go off and stimulate his brain and body to get up. These nights led to him being able to get up and go pee when he needed to, before wetting the bed, and also staying dry longer through the night. The final and longest hurdle was staying dry through the final morning hours. Once he could make it through the night he was mostly wetting the bed early in the morning. Then it moved to him waking up at his normal hour while wetting the bed, which was accompanied by "the dream". The one where you think you're on the toilet but you're not actually. This last phase was hard because he would stay dry all night and then in the last moments of the morning it would happen, and he would have already taken off his alarm during the night. We tried adding an alarm clock to wake him up earlier, but that didn't seem to help. There was one point in week 9 when he had kept the alarm on all night and then he began to wet the bed, the alarm went off and he woke up quickly and finished in the bathroom. This was the last day he wet the bed. It seemed as though he just needed that final alarm to go off in the morning. Around week 6 we had 7 dry nights in a row and he was convinced he didn't need to wear his alarm. As we were working on him taking responsibility for his dryness we told him we supported him and let him make the choice. That night he wet the bed and felt really disappointed, like he had messed up the progress. We told him what was most important was that he believed in himself and that he kept working at it. The attitude and positive self talk was a huge part of the work. Initially he would say that he was broken and that there was just something wrong with him which was why he couldn't do it. We started saying some phrases every night before bed to help combat this and create new habits, "I can do this", "when I wake up in the morning I go to the bathroom" and "If I have that dream I need to tell myself I am not in the bathroom". We also started doing a meditation at night to calm down and stay positive. It took 10 weeks to stay dry. He has been dry for almost a month now. This was a lot of work, but totally worth it. There was a lot of sleepless nights for me waking up to make sure he woke up or make sure he was still wearing the alarm. There was still a lot of laundry and purchasing of pads to keep the mattress dry (we used a plastic sheet and the pads). We talked about pee A LOT. We didn't want to sweep anything under the rug or make him feel ashamed. We talked about how urine moves through the body, how our brain works when we need to go pee, and we celebrated every dry night or if it wasn't dry that he at least kept his alarm on. This alarm helped this kid achieve a goal that had seemed out of reach for so long. Once he made it through the 14 days he told him mom that his body just decided it was done wetting the bed. Sticker chart: We used it. He was motivated by seeing the progress and it was a useful tool for talking about the process and seeing the growth, especially on those days when he regressed. The stickers had different meaning throughout the process which helped us focus on what was important at different times. Rewards: We tried to motivate with rewards. While they kept him engaged at the beginning, they became less important later in the process. Waking with the child: our rooms are right next to each other so I didn't sleep in his room with him but I was able to hear the alarm if I kept our doors open so that I could go and wake him up when it started going off and get him to finish in the bathroom (very important part of the process) The right underwear and placement: Athletic material did not make for great underwear and the placement of the alarm was really important. He used cotton boxer briefs and it seemed best when it was placed on the front flap.

The user manual says that the treatment generally works within 6-12 weeks. We are officially at 6 weeks with zero progress, but will stick with it for the full 12 weeks, and I will update this review if the situation improves. For reference, our son is currently 7 years old. We clip the sensor to close-fitting boxers with a pull-up on top to keep them snug & keep the accidents contained. We were not using pull-ups originally, but like some other reviewers have mentioned, after starting this system we realized that our child was actually having multiple accidents a night & were doing way more laundry. The alarm does successfully wake our son every time it goes off, but of course that is always after an accident has occurred. He is able to silence it by holding down the side button, so it doesn't wake his siblings, but he still brings it to us for help actually turning it off, which of course does wake us. We then send him to the bathroom and to get fresh clothes, and we were not originally replacing the sensor or a new pull-up, but have started doing that since realizing he may end up having a second accident many nights. I recommend planning to help your child replace the sensor after the trip to the potty each night, as it is difficult to place and probably too much to expect for most children waking up from deep sleep in the middle of the night. The clip is a bit difficult to figure out, but it's manageable once you get the hang of it. Just be careful not to pinch your child's skin, as you're supposed to be placing it on close-fitting underwear. We have not had any issues with battery life, parts breaking, sensor functionality, or the alarm like some reviewers have mentioned. The product seems to be working the way it's supposed to, but it's just not having the desired effect on our child so far. Our hope is that it will be worth it by the end of the 12 weeks, but right now we are seeing zero indication that will be the case. You should be prepared for significant sleep deprivation when starting with this product, very similar to welcoming a new baby.

I have made a repeat purchase of this product and the same is working fine. The first purchase was made 2 years back and it worked well for the last 2 years. Hence satisfied with the product and reordered

Product doesn’t work

These used to sell on Amazon Australia for $40 which was an acceptable price considering they only last on average 2 months sometimes they only last for 2 weeks, however, the price has now risen to $112 it’s not worth the money because they do not last and if you’re in Australia, you cannot claim warranty either

As descripted

After years of night nappies as well as lack of success with medication, we purchased this on recommendation from an NHS appointment. To say we’re amazed is an understatement. Having read reviews and the alarm instructions I was expecting this to take a few months, if it worked at all. Within 3 weeks my daughter was totally dry at night, including two weeks back to back nights dry. She is totally delighted as well. Some notes: -We used it on the vibrate setting as the alarm tones were very loud and shrill and we thought it would be a bit traumatising in the middle of the night! -We also had her in pull ups with pants underneath to attach the alarm to, to avoid wet bedding at the beginning. This worked fine and once she was dry for a few nights in a row we stopped the pull ups with no problem at all.
