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

This "Wet-Stop3 Pink Bedwetting Enuresis Alarm with Loud Sound and Strong Vibration for Bedwetters" has been an excellent option for helping my five-year-old daughter stop wetting the bed at night. Although she has been 90% potty trained since she was 3 years old, we have had to keep her in pull-ups because she sleeps so deeply that she cannot wake herself to use the bathroom at night. This alarm has almost entirely alleviated that problem after only one month of nightly use because the loud alarm and substantial vibration has essentially trained her to sleep more lightly and respond to stimuli, including the "urge to pee" at night. Before this product, she was wetting her pull up every night. By the second week of use of this alarm, she went an entire week (6 consecutive nights) without a single accident. Thereafter, she has had an accident every 4-7 nights, but this is a huge improvement and the frequency of accidents has continued to slow. I am fairly confident that with another few weeks of use, she will be able to sleep without the alarm or a pull up and able to wake herself when she needs to pee. There are mixed reviews of this product (and others like it), but after using it, I wanted to share a few secrets that I suspect account for the widely varying comments about whether these alarms are effective. I am almost positive that most negative reviews come from parents who did not follow through with consistent, disciplined use of this alarm. That's because, initially at least, it can be exhausting. Because of hearing safety standards, the audible alarm has to be limited to a permissible decibel level that some people consider too quiet. Frankly, this alarm is plenty loud, but you do need to leave your child's door and your door open at night (hopefully, your bedroom is in close proximity to your child's, as our is) so that you can hear the alarm. When the alarm goes off, the parent MUST go to the child immediately and EVEN IF AN ACCIDENT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (whether a minor dribble or a full emptying of the child's bladder), MUST IMMEDIATELY MAKE THE CHILD WAKE UP AND WALK TO THE POTTY, AND THEN SIT ON THE POTTY. This is how you "train" the child to wake him/herself and take appropriate action. If you simply change the bedding/clothes and/or carry the child to the potty instead of making your child respond appropriate for his/herself, you will not be reinforcing the proper "lesson." The whole point is that your child needs to learn to wake up. Over time, if you stick with this routine for several nights, your child will actually begin to anticipate the alarm and wake up BEFORE an accident; that is how his/her body learns the "feeling" of the "urge to pee" and habituates itself to wake and use the bathroom. This is critically important, and I'm guessing that many parents are mis-using this product by, instead, silencing the alarm, cleaning up the mess, and never really addressing the child's behavior (or perhaps not even making sure the child wakes fully). Second, you must make a big deal out of each night's successes, whether the child has an accident or not. The unit comes with a star chart that marks the child's success each evening. In the morning, a silver star means there was an accident (but still complement your child for wearing the alarm and waking up to use the potty!), and a gold star means there was no accident. If you engage in the routine of putting up a star each morning, it mentally reinforces the fact that you and your child are working together to develop a skill (waking to pee at night) that he/she can be proud of. Don't shortchange this or it will be easy for your child (and you) to start to see the alarm as an undesirable chore that you occasionally "skip" using because you don't like the hassle. (Believe me, you will lose some sleep at first--kind of like having a new baby in the house--but stick with it!) Third, you must ALWAYS use the alarm when the child sleeps. Do NOT allow "naps" without the alarm if your child is prone to having accidents during a nap. Our rule was that EVERY TIME OUR DAUGHTER SLEEPS, whether for a nap or for the night, she wears the alarm. That way, the body is being trained consistently to respond to the stimulus of the alarm and, eventually, to recognize the bodily feeling that PRECEDES the need to pee (setting off the alarm). Fourth, you must make sure to position the wetness sensor in the deepest, central part of the pull-up/underwear. This is probably easier with girls than boys since the pee comes out in a predictable and consistent place for girls, but can change for boys depending on the position of their, um, "equipment." The sensor only detects moisture within about 1" diameter, and I would guess that careless placement of the sensor is the main reason for reports that this sensor "failed to go off." We found that, if we placed it carefully in the lowest part of the pull-up, it worked very reliably; however, a few times, my wife got up in the night to help our daughter go pee and, when she reattached the sensor, she placed it a little too high up (nearer the belly button). Predictably, in the morning, that often resulted in my daughter having a wet pull up that did not trigger the alarm. Fifth, you must not yell at or otherwise show frustration/anger to your child on the (potentially many) nights when he/she wakes up with an accident and seeks your help. If your child expects you to be angry, it's pretty much a guarantee that he/she will instead learn to silence the alarm his/herself and go back to sleep. Who wants to go face an angry mommy or daddy in the middle of the night while they're sleepy? So keep it positive and THANK your child for waking you for help, or tell him/her it's okay when he/she has an accident because you are PROUD of him/her for wearing the alarm and "being a good sport about it." We told that to our daughter a lot, and she came to see it as a positive experience, even though many nights she has woken up crying because the abruptness of the alarm and vibration scared/startled her. (It is a rude awakening, but that's the point--and that's exactly why your child's body WILL learn to anticipate and correct the problem BEFORE accidents occur.) If you follow those tips and stick to the plan diligently, I suspect your experience will be as positive as ours has been. In retrospect, I'm so glad we didn't spend considerably more on a higher priced bedwetting alarm. I don't think spending more would have gotten us a more reliable unit (this one has been great). My belief is that the efficacy of the alarm really depends on how well the parents manage the experience and follow through on the disciplined habits they're trying to instill. I'll try to report back here after another month to let you know how our experience wraps up, but we're already delighted by how effective this product has been in eliminating over 80% of the nightly accidents our daughter was having. And it has been good for her self-esteem too. [UPDATE 9-19-2017: I'm not sure why my previous update disappeared, but I wanted to note that, after four weeks of increasing success using this product, our daughter started to "back slide" into having accidents again as she grew accustomed (i.e. less responsive) to the alarm. Nevertheless, we stuck with it and just got more proactive about making her stand up and ensuring she was awake before walking her to the potty after an accident. After about 3 weeks of sporadic accidents, she was almost 100% potty trained and no more accidents. The only limitation now seems to be the size of her bladder, but as long as we put her on the potty right before she falls asleep, she now sleeps through the night regularly without accidents. In short, this product was a success. It definitely made a difference, and the only challenge involved in using it, I believe, is sticking with the routine in a disciplined way until you adequately habituate/train your child's body to the feeling of the urge to pee, and to wake themselves before they have an accident.]

We have two daughters, 5 and 7 years old. The 5 year old has been sleeping through the night without a pull-up for a year or two. Our 7 year old daughter was really starting to get upset since she still had to use a pull-up but her little sister did not. This came to a head when our 5 year old told her sister's friend that she was still wearing "diapers." She wasn't trying to be mean, but it was quite embarrassing to our 7 year old daughter. We had tried waking her up late at night to go to the bathroom, no liquids after dinner, and no dairy after lunch, with limited success. I found the "Wet-Stop3" while searching for other bedwetting solutions and I'm glad I did. We started by clipping the sensor inside of her pull-up. This takes some practice since you need the metal portion pointing _away_ from the skin (sweaty skin will set it off) and you need to locate it in the right spot. It helps to do one wrap of the cord through the leg hole to make it harder for the sensor to get accidentally readjusted or pulled out. The first two nights, the sensor went off, but, unbelievably, it didn't wake her up. I heard it and went into her bedroom and woke her up and took her to the bathroom. I was disappointed, but considering how loud the alarm is and that it also vibrates, I couldn't see how anyone could possibly sleep through it. The next night, I also had to help her; but by the third night it was waking her up without my help. She wore it almost every day for a month and then started waking up before the alarm went off. She wore it for a couple more weeks until she was ready to try sleeping in panties. That was 3 months ago and since then she's only had one small accident. I wish I had purchased this two years ago! Pros: - It really works if you stick with it. - By design, it's not easy to turn the alarm off. This prevents the child from pushing a button and falling back to sleep. - It's a loud, almost piercing alarm, with vibrations. Very tough to sleep through (even from the next room) Cons: - The first few days, it did not wake her up, but it was loud enough to wake me up so that I could take her to the bathroom. - As you'd expect, it's not going to be comfortable to wear, but your child will get used to it. - Once your child knows how to shut it off (disconnect the wire & push the button) they may occasionally do this in bed and drop off to sleep again. I had to have a couple "discussions" with my daughter about not going back to sleep. It requires some dedication. Don't Give Up! Notes: When using Wet-Stop3 you should _not_ wake up the child (without the alarm going off) and take them to the bathroom late at night. The alarm works by associating a "wake up" signal to their body with the initial flow of urine (Pavlov’s dog, anyone?). So, if _you_ wake the child up on your own and take her to the bathroom (like we did for months before getting this alarm.) it defeats the purpose of having the alarm.

We've been trying to curb bed wetting in my 7 year old, he's still in diapers and enough is enough. We bought Wet-Stop3 based on the reviews, as it seemed like the best product to help transition him from bed wetting to waking up and using the potty. Well, it certainly does wake him up: it vibrates, a small light flashes, and it makes a helluva lot of noise. The problem is getting it to turn off. Want to see a small child having a panic attack at 1:30 in the morning as this alarm just won't shut up? Want to make going to bed each night a traumatic experience? How about preparing yourself for that upcoming sleep-deprivation experiment you always wanted to enroll yourself in? If you've answered yes to the preceding questions, then the Wet-Stop3 alarm is just the thing for you. You would think that turning off a small blue screaming banshee beeper would be easy, right? After all it only has one button (it's the one that flashes). Nope. Press and hold it down steady or frantically push it repeatedly while telling your crying son it's okay... and listen to the sweet sounds of a screaming alarm reinforce the notion that something went wrong years ago when you missed the chance while potty training. Thinking about an off switch? Would be nice, but no dice. I know you're thinking exactly what the general in War Games was thinking when "The WOPR" was threatening nuclear war: just unplug the damn thing. Well, it turns out that your only option: the little sensor is attached to the scream box by a cable, unplug the cable and the damn thing does shut off. Only problem is that even if you clean off the sensor you can't reattach it without resuming nuclear countdown. So either go the rest of the night without, or play Russian roulette in the middle of the night while your wife looks at you angrily and your son looks at you with terror. Have fun. What would be really nice is a product that has some sort of volume control. In our case a simple vibration would suffice. It's not like our son is in a coma. He needs just a nudge to wake up, not a sledge hammer. But, if you like the idea of combining shock therapy reminiscent to the torture scenes in Lost, by all means purchase the Wet-Stop3.

I like the product and despite a multitude of headaches and four purchases later this thing has been doing it's job. I blame myself for the first one and then for number 2 I got a defective cord and for number 3 I learned that these things do not work with disposable batteries. Number four has been working just as well as number 1 before the accident. Number 1 wouldn't stay attached to my sons shirt and got wet. Despite getting it going again it took a dump. Number 4 has been working great thus far and despite the cord wrapping around my son's neck we have taken a string and wrapped it around the arm hole to keep him out of harms way. This thing needs redesigned so that the batteries stay securly in place and the unit stays in place without doing any harm. It does have a way to attached the device with a safety pin but considering the hanging incident I mentioned before I don't need a stabbing incident. Honestly there may be a better and cheaper system out there but, the level of expertise from customer service is unbeatable and the size and all the extra goodies was very helpful and outweighed the benefits from other models and makes. This may be a really bad review, but I would buy the product again because it works despite the modifications needed to make it safe for kids. I question on if the people that make these things have kids. I hope this helps with your purchase of this product. It's not meant to be horrific or anything, but you need to remember that anything your child sleeps with is potentially dangerous despite the sales people's best intentions. I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT WORKS AND CAN BE MADE SAFE. God willing the manufactuer will make the changes necessary to do that and not by offering less safe ways.

We purchased this alarm to help night train my 5-year-old. She is a VERY heavy sleeper, and although she potty trained during the day before she was 2 years old, now almost 4 years later, she still wets the bed at night. We were using Goodnights brand pull ups at night, because they have the biggest capacity for pee, but sometimes she was still soaking through them. We've had great success using this alarm for the last three weeks, and are so happy to finally be out of diapers with her. The alarm comes with a chart for tracking dry nights with your child, and some links to more information online. We did the following to get started: 1. Set up the chart and talked about staying dry through the night. We let my daughter know once she made it a month, she would get a reward of her choosing. 2. Purchased Disposable Underpads (available on Amazon - the name of the product we purchased is "Premium Disposable Chucks Underpads 25 Pack, 30" x 36" - Highly Absorbent Bed Pads for Incontinence and Senior Care - Peach Color - Leak Proof Protection") 3. Layered her mattress with the following: disposable underpad, waterproof mattress cover, 2nd disposable underpad, sheet. 4. Had my daughter pee right before going to bed. Also, stopped giving her liquids after dinner. 5. Got rid of the pull-ups and had her sleep in her underwear moving forward with the alarm attached. That way if she pees, she is uncomfortable, rather than sleeping in it. 6. For the first night, we woke her every hour to pee. Bed at 7. 7. For the second night, we woke her 4 hours after going to sleep. Bed at 7, woke up at 11 pm. 8. For the third night we woke her 2 hours after going to sleep. Bed at 7, woke up at 9. She had an accident later in the night and the alarm went off. 9. Tried again on the 4th night to wake her 2 hours after after going to sleep. She had another accident, so we determined she can't go quite that long. We have been consistently waking her up at 11 pm (unless we forget) and she has been doing great. 10. On nights we do forget to wake her up, she will still have an accident. And about 70% of the time, the alarm goes off early enough to stop her from fully wetting the bed, it just gets on her underwear, so we just change her underwear and put her back to bed. 11. About 2 of 14 days, she woke herself up to go pee. This is HUGE for us. She's never done that before, and we're hoping that with time, she will consistently do this. All in all, this alarm isn't a complete and total fix for bed wetting, I think she is just such a deep sleeper it will take more time for her to consistently wake up. But I think it is moving us on the way to fully being night trained. I do think you'll have to make a concentrated effort to wake them up, while also using the alarm. I don't think we would have had so much success if we had just put her to bed in the alarm. Some detail on the alarm: - The alarm is pretty loud, but I think it has to be or she would sleep through it. It does wake up my 2.5 year old (they share a room), and she says every time that "it scared me!". - To disable the alarm, you have to push the button and unplug the cord both. This is helpful so that she won't turn it off herself when it goes off. - The metal wetness detector is really sensitive. It detects pee, as soon as moisture gets near, and has been effective at going off before there is enough pee to get onto her sheets. - The cord is long enough to go inside clothes or outside. It hooks to her underwear, and then the little box/alarm portion clips to her shirt. It doesn't seem to bother her much, but there were a couple nights where she moved it up to the top of her underwear and it did not detect the pee. - I think if you are trying to train a child aged 3 years or under, this would be too much. I think the alarm would scare them to much and it would be a traumatic experience for them. My daughter is old enough she wants to be trained at night, and understands the alarm is meant to help her, and that makes it less scary. All in all, we are very happy with this product, and I would recommend to anyone else in our situation!

I am torn on how to review this because I used this on two of my sons (9 & 7) and had EXTREMELY different results. I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 simply because how my 7 year old reacted to it. We originally got this (after debating over it for way too long) for my 9 year old who was still struggling with nighttime dryness. In all fairness, if I were reviewing the product simply for him it would get five stars because it worked like a charm for him. I wish I would have invested the little bit of money on this a LONG time ago for him. After about 3 months with it we noticed a substantial difference. He went from being wet every night to one or two accidents a month as a worst case scenario. He is no longer wearing the alarm AT ALL now and hasn't for over a month. He is staying dry every night, even after drinking a lot before bed. It has trained his brain to wake when he has to use the bathroom! Now, we have not been so lucky with my 7 year old. We started using the alarm on him as soon as his brother was done with it. He has still yet to have a dry night! He doesn't wake to the alarm. Everyone else in the house hears it but him. It can be a big pain because he and the 9 year old share a room. So it wakes him. If my 7 year old hears the alarm he simply pulls the cord out of it and rolls back over. He does not get out of bed to try to use the bathroom. It doesn't wake him enough to get him out of bed. He is incredibly hard for me to wake when the alarm sounds and even when I get him up to use the bathroom he has no recollection of the events of the night before when the morning comes. I must give him constant step by step instructions to using the bathroom and clean up which is difficult when we have 2 kids in one room. In my honest opinion it has been more frustrating with him than I expected and I don't feel like he is learning or being trained in any way. I am just doing what I did in the past when I set my alarm and went to wake him up every so many hours. The difference is now the alarm only sounds when he pees. That said, I think this product works beautifully for children who are not deep sleepers and can be easily aroused by sound or vibration. My 9 year old is an earlier riser, easily awaken by alarms and his brain clicks that it is time to get up. My 7 year old is the opposite. Another factor I have considered is that my 9 year old was ready. He had expressed a will to stop wetting himself at night. He WANTED it to work. I do not get the same attitude from my 7 year old. He has just accepted wetting the bed as something that he can't control. I think the child needs to be mentally mature and ready for this product to work. It involves a great deal of personal responsibility for it to work. So if you have a child like my 9 year old I say what are you waiting for!!!!! Buy this! You won't regret it!!! If they are more like my 7 year old... maybe wait it out because it might just be more frustration for everyone. The child will eventually outgrow it. Or maybe invest in an alarm that cost a little more and requires them to get out of bed to turn it off. If I could do it again I would definitely buy for my 9 year old.... not so sure with my 7 year old. It didn't cost a lot though so I might have taken the chance and hoped for the best. Hope this review helped and Good luck!

Our 7 yo had never had a dry night and was wetting the bed every single night, and our pediatrician recommended we try this device. We started this 2.5 weeks ago, and we are now on 4 nights in a row completely dry. I was so happy that this thing worked that I had to get on here to write a review so it might help someone else. Before we started, I read reviews on here to get prepared. We also tested the device with my son before the first night, so he’d recognize the sound and vibration. In his room, we put absorbant pads over his bottom sheet. We had wipes, extra bed pads, underwear, pjs, and a plastic bag for wet things next to his bed. I had clean sheets and blanket handy, too. We did not use a pull-up—just underwear. The first night we tried just the vibrate mode, but it didn’t wake my son. After, we just used the alarm sound, and it woke him every time but did not scare him. The first week, we were up twice a night, and the first couple of nights he was completely wetting the bed. Each time we had to change clothes, pads, and even the comforter once. I just put all of this in bags and washed it all the next morning. I got up with him each time the first two weeks and helped him turn off the alarm, try to use the restroom, and get back in bed. After a few nights, he started just going a little in his underwear and then finished in the restroom. After a week and a half, he started having a dry time here and there. And now, he’s waking up and going to the restroom by himself and has been dry for 4 nights in a row. We are both so happy and relieved. We’re still going to use the device for at least the recommend 2 weeks once dry. My son said it gives him confidence. And just some more advice: both my son and I hated this thing by the end of week one. I was considering giving up. We were tired and over it. But I read on these reviews that consistency is key and reading that it actually helped others made me stick with it, and I’m so glad I did. Also, the alarm has a button you can push to silence it, but it won’t silence until the sensor is dry. So we had to unclip the sensor from his underwear and then push the button before it would be quiet. I also worried about it waking up our toddler who sleeps in the room next to my older son, but we used a sound machine in the toddler’s room, and he only heard the beeping the first night. After that, no issues. So, if you’re struggling with night wetting, give this a try. I’m so impressed!

I thought this was such a great deal, only $50 as opposed to so many of the other similar alarms being about a hundred bucks or more. Plus the kit includes a little paper chart and some silver and gold stickers to help track the kid's progress, as well as the Bedwetting Book on CD in PDF format. Great if you have plenty of time to stare at your computer and read it... But for all the bells and whistles, the big problem is the alarm just didn't work the way it was supposed to. Right out of the box we had trouble with it and never ended up actually using it because I couldn't trust it to work. I tested it in a cup of warm water so she could see what it would be like when it went off, and after three measly beeps and one vibrate it quit. I knew off the bat that this was not going to wake her up as she is a pretty heavy sleeper, I doubt it would even wake me up. So I never used it on her because I didn't want to add the the feeling of failure/shame if she wet at night and didn't even wake up with the alarm. I fiddled with it myself while she was at school and found that I still could not get it to work right. As others have mentioned on here, there seems to be a faulty battery connection in the device. I put fresh batteries in and tested it with the battery cover off first. I found that if the red light flashed three times and stopped, then I could be reasonably sure the alarm would sound and continue to sound until reset. But a lot of the time the light would only flash once, or would just keep flickering randomly as if it were connecting and disconnecting rapidly and when this was the case the alarm would not sound. With the cover off I could then fiddle the batteries a little bit until I got the three clear flashes and then it would work that time. BUT! With the battery cover on, it was a lot harder to tell if was going to work or not. Sometimes it sounded, sometimes it didn't. Sometimes it flashed, sometimes it didn't. And when the cover is on I couldn't fiddle the batteries to make sure they were connecting. At this point I got fed up with the whole thing and stuck it back in the box to return it. But I am betting that even if you manage to fiddle the batteries into a connection so that it flashes that red light three times, and then put the cover on (which they SAY is supposed to hold the batteries "securely in place"...) then clip the device to the child and expect it to wake him/her up or a nearby parent, you have about a 50/50 chance that it will not go off at all, or will stop going off after two seconds because the vibration part of the alarm wiggles the battery connection back out. UGH! If you really want to get a bedwetting alarm, don't waste your money on this one. Go the whole nine yards and get a good one. As for me, I just waited it out and stuck with the "no water at bedtime and go potty right before bed" method, and she actually seems to be getting past the bedwetting on her own. So go figure :)

Je voulais attendre plusieurs jours avant d’écrire mon commentaire. Au début j’étais un peu septique mais étant à cours de solutions pourquoi pas ! Alors la première fois une de mes filles a eu très peur de la sonnerie (elle est très forte, en pleine nuit ça surprend !) mais on lui a bien expliqué que ce n’était rien de plus qu’un réveil et qu’on viendrait toujours avec elle. La peur étant passée très vite elle se lève seule, va aux toilettes et l’éteint seule désormais. A vrai dire il ne sonne même plus car elle se réveille pour aller faire pipi depuis une semaine sans accident. Sa sœur elle, parfois il sonne mais elle va tout de suite aux toilettes donc finalement plus rien dans les lits. Et le matin elle y va sans avoir besoin qu’il sonne. Ce n’était pas gagné car on avait tout essayé, les réveiller dans la nuit, ne pas le faire, contrôler l’eau, ne pas le faire, chemises de nuit pour faciliter le passage aux toilettes, veilleuses sur le chemin, couches, pas de couches, récompenses ect ... Seul cette alarme nous a aidé à régler ce soucis. Avant cela elles ne remarquaient pas qu’elles faisaient pipi, à vrai dire elles ne se réveillaient même pas quand le lit était trempé, on le remarquait au réveil le matin. C’était un vrai casse-tête et ma plus grande de 6 ans commençait à être un peu gêné de la situation car toutes ses copines sont propres la nuit. (Je ne voulais pas donner de traitements à 5 et 6 ans et tout soucis « graves » psy et/ou physiques avaient été écartés, consultez un pédiatre avant on ne sait jamais) Ensuite, l’appareil est assez petit, fonctionne à piles (non fournies), la livraison était rapide. Il existe en plusieurs couleurs et est vendu avec un petit tableau de récompenses à gommettes bienveillantes car il ne pénalise pas l’enfant mais félicite ses efforts et ses réussites.

Llego muy rápido y me encanta que trae su calendario para calificar con estrellas el avance. Funciona súper bien, con un poco de tacto al agua ya empieza a sonar y vibrar. A mi hijo le ha funcionado muy bien.

Funktioniert super

Nos ha funcionado de maravilla. Después de 3 noches, ¡adiós pañal de la peque!

Estamos mto felizes com a compra. Meu filho de 5 anos fazia xixi todas as noites na cama. Eu e meu marido tínhamos que acordar e levá-lo antecipadamente no banheiro. Nos 2 primeiros dias de uso ele molhou em volta do sensor, mas após o alarme acordamos e levamos ele. No terceiro e quarto dia não fez xixi na cama indo apenas de manhã ao banheiro. No fim de semana que dormiu por mais tempo ele começou a fazer xixi denovo mas ao apitar o alarme acordou e foi ao banheiro. Agora faz uma semana que não tem molhado mais a cama. Acredito que já esteja fazendo a relação de alarme x despertar. Pretendo tirar o aparelho em breve. As estrelinhas são um ótimo incentivo também, ele adora receber uma toda manhã. O resultado tem sido rápido. Se soubesse teria pedido antes. Chegou antes do esperado, tudo certinho.
