Dry-Me alarm

This is a good product overall. My son, who is 4.5 years old, was still wearing a nappy at night when we purchased the alarm.

The device worked as intended. It triggered once when a small amount of urine (residue after using the toilet) was detected. On another occasion, it triggered due to sweat, which appears to have been a false alarm and ideally should not occur.

Aside from these two incidents, my son has remained dry for the past three weeks.

Based on our experience, I would recommend this product, but with a note of caution: before purchasing, it is worth checking whether your child can already hold their urine through the night. In our case, we did not realise that our son was capable of staying dry; his nappy was only becoming wet in the morning after he woke up. As a result, we did not actually need the alarm.

If you are considering this product, I would suggest allowing your child to sleep without a nappy for a few nights first. This will help determine whether they need additional support or are already ready to stay dry unaided.

The alarm doesn't seem to be helping me at all

Our daughter is 7 and is such a deep sleeper that she just never woke to go to the toilet at night. She would have a wet pull up when we went to bed. We took her to the doctors at 6 and they recommended one of these but we waited hoping that she would be dry by her 7th birthday. I wish we’d got it sooner but we weren’t sure it would work. We decided on this one as just easier than a pad, plus it has various sounds. She wasn’t keen at first, she thought it would wake her up a lot and she would be tired, she loves her sleep! She did have 1-2 accidents the first 4 or 5 nights. We put a potty in her room incase she couldn’t make it to the bathroom in time. She woke up herself the next 3 nights, 2-3 times and used the potty. We did have to put her back in pull ups as she got a tummy bug but as soon as she was better used the alarm again. She’s since had 4 completely dry nights, only waking once to go for a wee and making it to the bathroom. She’s absolutely buzzing but wants to stop using the alarm but we’ve said she needs to for 14 nights and needs to be dry for those 14 mights. This is an absolute games changer! It’s very loud but can use on just vibrate, just sound or both together. We used both together. Her younger brother now wants to try but he’s only 4 so will wait until his 5th birthday.

My daughter who is almost 6 had never had a dry night. She has some SEN needs, so is generally a bit delayed in achieving milestones so I hadn’t been that fussed about dry nights but I was starting to think soon she might be asked to sleepovers and she wanted to be dry at night like her friends. We weren’t getting anywhere simply going without pull ups and she was waking up soaking wet every night. Within 3 days of using this alarm she had much better bladder control. We had about two weeks of some dry and some damp nights but the alarm woke her before she actually wet herself so we managed to get away with just a change of pants. She is now on a run of 9 dry nights so hoping to do without the alarm soon. Total game changer, couldn’t recommend highly enough.

My son just turned 7 and was still wearing pull ups at night, he had been day dry since the age of 3 but he was having soaking wet nappies every night. We were told it was normal and can take longer for boys and not to worry. We went to the doctors when he turned 7 and they recommended this device. It says it takes about 12 weeks but at around 3 weeks he was dry. He didn’t like the beeping so just used the vibrate option and it worked brilliantly. He hasn’t had an accident since! Definitely recommend!
