Deep-sleeping children: do bedwetting alarms work?

My 6.5yr old was wetting her pull up most nights. We tried training the usual way but she wouldn’t wake and would wee. She didn’t want to wear a pull up anymore but equally we weren’t getting far with the other method! She might have got there eventually but would have taken months. After researching and realising she was too young for formal help I read that an alarm would be best to use to facilitate the waking up bit.
Well first night naturally it’s a shock for her when the alarm goes off and she’s so sleepy but as she was determined to continue we happily carried on and gradually the spells of dry nights became longer a longer. We would have 2nights dry then one wet then another 3 or 4 nights and then one wet and so on. We kept the same routine every night even in hotels or on hols (with layered up waterproof and sheets) until we eventually got to a run of 14nights dry! This was at the 2.5mth mark. I then removed the alarm and she hasn’t had it back since! We are 5mths down the line and I feel confident to say she’s cracked it! So proud of her but really it’s her body learning so we would praise that and any wet episodes we took as her body still learning.
The support emails were so helpful and happy to get to back to any queries quickly.
Every child is different and their bodies learn in different ways. I would say if child and you are happy all the way through this is a fantastic and successful method. Keep things light and not stressful even though u might feel it inside!
I highly recommend this as a method for those kids who just need a bit of facilitation to wake up.

My 8.5 year old has been struggling with bed wetting forever. And after years of sleeping with a pull-up, her doctor suggested we try one of these devices. I thought we had nothing to lose, but didn't really believe it would work. But after only about one to two weeks we started to see improvements. And now after about 4 weeks she is dry every morning. I'm actually emotional writing this because this means so so much to her. She was shy to have sleepovers, or babysitters because she felt like she was living with this secret. She is so proud and I am so grateful for this alarm device. I cannot recommend it enough.

I was feeling at a loss with our 8yo wearing a diaper to bed every night and waking up with a very wet diaper every morning. We kept hoping she would age out of it, but she wasn't showing any signs of improvement naturally. Never once has she woken up at night to go the bathroom during the night, whereas her little sister stopped wearing a diaper and had no accidents from around 3yo - kids can be so different. My husband and I weren't comfortable with medication to try and resolve this, so this device seemed like a safe alternative to at least try. We considered it for over a year and then finally read enough positive reviews to persuade us to buy it.

Our daughter is a very deep sleeper (and a little stubborn) so we found we had to stay in her room overnight for the first bit to wake her up and take her to the washroom to pee. But within a few days we could tell that the alarm was making a difference and she would stop peeing in her diaper when she heard it go off - still reluctant to get out of bed, but that's just her. Within a month most of her nights are dry and she proudly tells us if she wakes on her own to go the washroom during the night.

if you're struggling with bedwetting I would definitely recommend trying this system out, it has absolutely been a game changer for our family. Our 8yo is now looking forward to sleepovers and overnight camp this summer.

This product has made a huge difference to our son's night training experience. In some ways we wonder if we should have tried it sooner! He was always a very deep sleeper - often not even waking up when he was soaked through. He now maintains dryness throughout the whole night, waking only in the morning to go to the toilet.

My 9yo daughter had been struggling with trying to be dry over night. She’s a super heavy sleeper so I was skeptics however within 2 weeks she was dry and feeling much more confident. Very happy overall, it works!

My 7 year old girl is an extremely heavy sleepy, nothing short of a brass band in her room wakes her up. We thought we would never get her out of pull ups despite getting her up through the night to go to the bathroom. She was missing out on sleepovers with her friends.
Saw this product online and took the gamble.
Well. Worth. It.
2 days in and she was stopping herself wetting when the alarm went off. 1 week in and she was waking up dry. It’s been two weeks without any accidents now and we have an extremely happy girl who is talking about her first sleepover. Thank you 🙏

Worked exactly as described. My 6 year old had never had a dry night and within 10 days was dry and no longer needing the alarm. We had tried many other methods of trying to train him but he just wasn’t waking up in the night. Absolutely solved the problem for us. Highly recommended.

Our nearly 7 year old is an incredibly solid sleeper who had never been even close to getting out of nappies at night. Over the last 6 weeks since we started with the alarm we have seen major improvements and she now frequently wakes up dry and some nights wakes herself to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. I wish we had tried this earlier!

My 6 1/2yo daughter was out of day time nappies by 18 months so we have been surprised that she still hadn’t mastered it overnight. When the alarm arrived we had a week of me having to wake my daughter as she was sleeping through the alarm. By week 2 she was waking and going to the toilet and by week 3 we had no more accidents. 5 weeks in and we haven’t had any more accidents. Completely out of nappies and don’t require the alarm any more!!! Absolutely brilliant!

I bought this after trying many other methods to help my daughter stay dry at night. My daughter was also frustrated and eager to try this and I was impressed with how quickly it worked. The first couple of nights, the alarm woke me before it woke her, but I was able to get her to
The bathroom. After that, she had a couple more alarms that she woke to in the early morning and after another week with no alarms, she decided to go without it and has been dry through the night since!! My daughter’s issue was that she is such a sound sleeper, she would not rouse when she experienced the discomfort of a full bladder. The alarm helped her brain make the connection and respond normally. I am so pleased that this worked and have already recommended it to other parents struggling with this issue. Thank you!!

My 9 year old was wetting every other day but within a couple of weeks she was completely dry for the 12 day period. She has now been dry for over a mouth and is a much happier child. My only wish is that I'd tried this alarm sooner.

Thanks for reaching out. I’m happy to report that our son is on his 4th dry week in a row. He is so happy with himself and we are happy for him. He has school camp coming up in a week or so and he was adamant he wasn’t going. Now he’s so excited he’ll be able to join in.

Thank you so much. I never believed it would have been so quickly resolved. I wish we had done it sooner. We understand he might have a relapse but we feel confident in tackling that if it does.

Took my 6.5yo child just under a week to get the hang of getting up before the alarm went off, and now we’re just finishing our first completely dry fortnight. Such a gamechanger! Our 4yo is keen to try it next. We inserted the device between two pairs of undies, followed by a Pull Up over the top (I didn’t want to be washing sheets constantly). So easy to use. Worth every penny!

My son is 9 and was wetting the bed every single night… her started using the dri sleeper and after about 3 weeks of it waking him up every night he now has gone 18 nights in a row with no accidents at all!! This thing has been a god send!! Don’t hesitate!! Give it a try now

I was sceptical at first but this product has been a true blessing. My 10 year old son was wetting the bed every night several times a night. He successfully completed the 4 weeks with the alarm and has been dry every single night since. I don’t know the science behind why it works but it does work. He is relieved and proud of himself and so are we. I would recommend this product, it is worth every cent.
