Wet-Stop 3 Pink Bedwetting Enuresis Alarm with Loud Sound and Strong Vibration for Boys or Girls, Proven Solutions for Bedwetters

This "Wet-Washing" Stop3 Pink Bedwetting Enuresis Alarm with Loud Sound and Strong Vibration for Bedwetters" has proven to be an excellent choice for assisting my five-year-old daughter. Stop wetting the bed at night with your 12-year-old daughter. We've had to keep her in a pull-up since she was 3 years old, despite the fact that she's been 90% potty trained since she was 3 years old. She has nighttime wake-ups because she sleeps so deeply that she is unable to wake herself up to go to the bathroom. After only one month of nightly use, this alarm has almost completely eliminated that problem because the loud alarm and substantial vibration has essentially trained her to sleep more lightly and respond to stimuli, including the nighttime "urge to pee. " She used to wet her pull-up every night before using this product. She had gone an entire week (6 nights) without having an accident by the second week of using this alarm. She's had an accident every four years since then. 7 nights is a significant improvement, and the number of accidents has continued to decrease. I'm confident that after a few more weeks of use, she'll be able to sleep without an alarm or a pull-up and will be able to wake herself when she needs to go to the bathroom. br>br>There are mixed reviews of this product (and others like it), but after using it, I'd like to share a few secrets that I believe account for the widely varying opinions on whether these alarms are effective. I'm almost certain that the majority of negative reviews come from parents who did not use the alarm consistently and disciplinedly. This is because it can be exhausting, at least at first. The audible alarm must be limited to a permissible decibel level because of hearing safety standards, which some people consider too low. Although this alarm is quite loud, you must leave your child's door and your own door open at night (hopefully, your bedroom is close to your child's, as ours is) in order to hear it. When the alarm goes off, the parent MUST IMMEDIATELY GO TO THE CHILD AND MAKE THE CHILD WAKE UP AND WALK TO THE POTTY, THEN SIT ON THE POTTY, EVEN IF AN ACCIDENT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (whether a minor dribble or a complete emptying of the child's bladder). This is how you "train" the child to wake up and respond appropriately. You will not be reinforcing the proper "lesson" if you simply change the bedding/clothes and/or carry the child to the potty instead of making your child respond appropriately for himself/herself. " The entire point is for your child to learn to wake up. If you stick to this routine for a few nights, your child will learn to anticipate the alarm and wake up BEFORE an accident occurs. That is how his or her body becomes accustomed to the "feeling" of the "urge to pee" and wakes up to use the restroom. This is crucial, and I'm sure a lot of parents don't understand it. Instead, silence the alarm, clean up the mess, and never really address the child's behavior (or perhaps even make sure the child wakes up completely) when using this product. Second, regardless of whether the child has an accident or not, you must make a big deal of each night's successes. A star chart is included in the set, which tracks the child's progress each evening. A silver star means there was an accident in the morning (but don't forget to praise your child for setting the alarm and getting up to use the potty!). A gold star indicates that nothing happened by chance. It mentally reinforces the fact that you and your child are working together to develop a skill (waking to pee at night) that he or she can be proud of if you follow the routine of putting up a star every morning. Don't skimp on this, or your child (and you) will begin to see the alarm as a bothersome chore that you "forget" about every now and then because you don't want to deal with the hassle. (Believe me when I say you'll lose a little sleep at first-- It's a little like having a new baby at home- But do not give up! )br>br>Third, whenever the child sleeps, you must ALWAYS use the alarm. If your child is prone to accidents during naps, do not allow "naps" without an alarm. OUR RULE WAS THAT OUR DAUGHTER WOULD WEAR THE ALARM EVERY TIME SHE SLEEPS, WHETHER FOR A NAP OR THE NIGHT. As a result, the body is consistently trained to respond to the alarm's stimulus and, eventually, to recognize the bodily sensation that occurs BEFORE the need to pee (triggering the alarm). br>br>Fourth, make sure the wetness sensor is positioned in the deepest, central part of the pull-out drawer. underwear/upside down This is probably easier for girls than for boys, because girls' pee comes out in a predictable and consistent spot, whereas boys' pee can vary depending on the position of their, um, "equipment. " " The sensor only detects moisture within a 1" diameter, so I'm guessing that careless sensor placement is the primary cause of reports that this sensor "failed to go off. " "We discovered that if we carefully placed it in the bottom part of the pulley, we could get it to work. It was very dependable when it was first set up; However, on a few occasions, my wife awoke in the middle of the night to assist our daughter in going to the bathroom, and when she reattached the sensor, she placed it too high up (nearer the belly button). As a result, my daughter would frequently have a wet pull-up in the morning that did not set off the alarm. br>br>Fifth, on the (potentially many) nights when your child wakes up with an accident and seeks your assistance, you must not yell at or otherwise show frustration/anger to your child. If your child expects you to be angry, he or she will almost certainly learn to silence the alarm on his or her own and go back to sleep. Who wants to face an enraged mother or father in the middle of the night when they're trying to sleep? Keep it positive by thanking your child for waking you up for assistance, or telling him or her that it's okay if he or she has an accident because you are PROUD of him or her for wearing the alarm and "being a good sport about it. " " We told our daughter that a lot, and she came to see it as a positive experience, even though she woke up crying many nights because the alarm and vibration were so abrupt that they scared/startled her. (It's an unpleasant awakening, but that's the point- That is why your child's body will learn to anticipate and correct problems BEFORE they happen. )br>br>If you follow those suggestions and stick to the plan, I'm confident your experience will be as positive as ours. I'm glad we didn't spend a lot more money on a more expensive bedwetting alarm in retrospect. I don't believe that spending more money would have gotten us a more dependable unit (this one has been fantastic). The effectiveness of the alarm, in my opinion, is largely determined by how well the parents handle the situation and stick to the disciplined habits they're trying to instill. I'll try to report back here after another month to let you know how effective this product has been in eliminating over 80% of the nightly accidents our daughter was in, but we It's also been beneficial to her self-esteem. as well as respect [UPDATE 9-][UPDATE 9-][UPDATE 9-][UPDATE 9-][UPDATE 9-][UP 2017: I'm not sure why my previous update vanished, but I wanted to let you know that after four weeks of increasing success with this product, our daughter began to "backslide" into having accidents as she became accustomed (i. e. The alarm is not as responsive as it once was. Despite this, we stuck with it and became more proactive about making her stand up and making sure she was awake before walking her to the potty after an accident. She was almost 100% potty trained and no more accidents after about 3 weeks of sporadic accidents . Her bladder appears to be her only limitation now, but as long as we put her on the potty right before she falls asleep, she now sleeps through the night without accidents on a regular basis. This product, in a nutshell, was a hit. It definitely made a difference, and I believe the only challenge in using it is sticking to the routine in a disciplined manner until your child's body is sufficiently habituated/trained to the feeling of the urge to pee and to wake themselves up before having an accident.

We've been trying for years to get our 7-year-old to stop wearing pull-ups at night. No matter how many times I tried to wake her up, limit her liquid intake near her bed, or offer her incentives, nothing worked. Because she sleeps so deeply, her body would not wake up until she had peed. We purchased it in the hopes of being free of pull-strings. There will always be ups. We were skeptical, but we were also at a loss for what to do. This thing works, at least for the first couple of times. After three weeks, the alarm would go off as soon as she started peeing, giving her enough time to get to the bathroom. The bed was dry, but my underwear was a little damp. Back to bed with new underpants. She started waking up dry at the end of this three-week period! We've had nothing but dry nights for the past two weeks, and we even went a week without having to use the sensor! This has given her a huge boost in confidence, and we couldn't be happier. Try it out and see how it goes.

I was sceptical at first, but it actually works! PATIENCE IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF YOU. She sleeps for long periods of time - I can't speak to the effectiveness in that situation because it wasn't a medical problem. She's been checking in on me to see if I've "given it 5 stars yet" now that she's finally staying dry at night. This is something I should have done years ago! br>br>Things to be aware of: br>It took about 2 months of trial and error, as well as a lot of reinforcement, to get her to go potty right before bedtime, even if she only went 10 minutes before, and any time she woke up on her own during the night - accept responsibility for doing everything in her power to assist in her own training. br>Use this in conjunction with easy-to-change waterproof mattress pads (at least 2 are recommended). br>It's all about the location! Be patient with yourself as you figure out how and where to put it; this was a frustrating experience for both of us. br>Place a pair of tight-fitting shorts or pants over the alarm to help keep it in place; if you don't, it will fall off if your child moves around at night or has thicker thighs. Having something clipped on "down there," a wire running beneath their shirt, and this bulky box clipped on their collar, is inconvenient for them. However, it is well worth the effort! br>It's difficult for them to deal with when it wakes them up in the middle of the night to go potty; they sometimes need to call for help in the middle of the night. It does occasionally malfunction and go off even when there is no wetness present; however, this has only happened a couple of times. We unplugged the wire, removed the batteries, and double-checked that the sensor was completely dry before reassembling it. br>At first, it didn't wake her up on a couple of occasions. I'm not sure if the alarm didn't go off or if she simply didn't hear it. br>I read complaints that it was so loud that it woke everyone in the house up, which worried me because I was so close to her ear - That was not the case for us. It jolted her awake, but no one else was awake (she doesn't share a room). br>To summarize, she became frustrated, and we became frustrated, but we persevered, and it worked. We are overjoyed for her, she is overjoyed for herself, and I no longer have to buy over-night pull-ups! I gave it four stars because of the occasional malfunction; if it weren't for that, I would have given it five! If you're annoyed, if they're embarrassed, and if you've given this any thought. Make it happen! Also, take it slowly.
