Malem Ultimate Selectable Bedwetting Enuresis Alarm With Vibration And 8 Alarm Tones For Boys And Girls Camouflage Pattern

Highly recommended. My son is 7.5 yrs old and never had a dry night in his life. He would wake every morning with a full overnight pullup that many times could not contain his urine. We tried everything: Restricting water, waking him at 11 before I rested. Nothing worked. I had my doubts on this product but was desperate. I actually photocopied the progress sheet as I was expecting it to take at least twice as long with him for success. It's eights weeks since we started and he's been dry the last 2.5 weeks. It worked! He now sleeps without pullups and without the alarm and wakes up dry every morning. It's an expensive product, but worth it as it worked exactly as promised as is very effective.Three tips:1. For the first three weeks I slept on the floor next to his bed. My son is a very deep sleeper and could not hear the alarm. It took a couple of weeks for him to adjust to the alarm. I firmly believe our success is because I woke him immediately when the alarm would sound and get him to hold his remaining pee until we got to the bathroom. While this period was hard on me, it was worth it as it worked in waking him quickly and keeping my son motivated as he saw it that we were in it together. It you leave him on his own to wake, you risk frustration on both your parts as he will be sleeping in a wet bed with the alarm ringing. The negative reviews all seem to be associated with the child being left on his own to wake. Once he can wake on his own, then you can move back to your own bedroom.2. When starting out, wear a pullup over the alarm. Still connect the alarm to the briefs, but the pullup over everything will save you the trouble of changing bedding at 2AM. After you start seeing some progress, i.e. he wakes on his own and his briefs are somewhat wet but not soaking, then you can drop the pullups.3. Make sure you put the sensor clip right at the spot where urine will first appear. I made the mistake the first two nights of clipping it to the fly and was wondering why he was fairly wet just after the alarm rang. Once I moved it I was able to wake him when his bladder was still mostly full.I splurged for the camouflage as I wanted this to be a positive experience for him. Plus he has a sibling without this problem and I wanted this to be seen as "cool" and not something to be ashamed of or teased over.Summary: Expensive product, but worth it. Justify the expense to yourself in that you won't be buying overnight pullups anymore.

My 5 year old son couldn't get through the night without having an accident. There was no hope on the horizon--he couldn't get through ONE night EVER, without going in his pull-up. In fact, most nights we'd change his pull-up in the middle of the night and the new one would be wet again in the morning.We tried withholding water; we tried waking him up to go to the bathroom at night; we tried rewards, but nothing worked. He IS only five, so we weren't really worried, but his cousins were all night-trained, and he was starting to get embarrassed. He'd get upset at the store when he saw me buy pull-ups and beg me to put them back. A friend came over to play and as he went down the hall to my son's room, my son physically pulled him back down the hallway and told him to wait in the living room and NOT to come back to his bedroom until he said it was okay. When I went to see what was going on I realized he was hiding his pull-ups so that the package was hidden and none were visible in the trash. I gave him a hug and his little heart was just pounding because his friend almost saw them. It just broke my heart.I was SO AFRAID to buy this product because of the cost--what if it didn't work?--but it was worth every penny. I'm not sure it's so "high-tech" that it's worth $100, but it was worth every penny in that it actually DID night-train my son pretty quickly, and I know that made a great difference in his life. He feels like a real big boy now. He's proud of himself. I am THRILLED with this product and I encourage other parents to try it.I showed it to him before we bought it and explained what it did, and he asked me to please buy it for him. I let him pick out the color, though I made sure to only let him choose one that had the vibration option. I was worried about the audible alarm, thinking it might scare him and he'd refuse to wear it, but we tested it out and he chose to use the vibration only, which was easily loud and strong enough to wake him up without the audible alarm. (the vibration itself is loud--I could hear it from the other room.) This worked out well because we also have a baby and I was afraid the alarm would wake her up.We put his underwear on with the sensor attached to it, and then his pull-up on over the underwear and sensor. This way if he had an accident, we only had to deal with changing the underwear and pull-up, but not the bedding and jammies. He also felt more confident wearing his pull-up. We snaked the wire up under his jammies shirt and out his collar to try and make it safer (I was a little concerned about him getting the cord wrapped around his neck while sleeping.) He was excited about his little device and quickly learned to put it on himself.The first week his alarm went off maybe once or twice a night, and he'd come get me to help him turn it off and get to the bathroom. (Even if he emptied his bladder in his undies, it's important to go to the toilet and try to put some potty in it, if only a few drops, because that's what it's trying to teach: you have to go potty so you wake up and go to the toilet.) I started to notice that pretty quickly he didn't completely empty his bladder in his underwear. Just like the product says it does, he soon started only wetting his undies a little, and when he felt the alarm he was able to stop his urine flow and put the rest of his pee in the potty. Encouraging!This went from slight accidents to NO accidents in about 3 weeks. At this point he's been wearing the product to bed every night for about 2 months and we can't remember the last time it went off. After a long time with no accidents, we talked him into stopping wearing the pull-ups over his underwear. Our next step is to get him confident enough to stop wearing the potty alarm. In fact as I write this, this is the first night that he's gone just wearing his underwear and no potty alarm. He forgot to put it on tonight, and I'll tell him tomorrow morning what a success he had without it!It really works, and it's not that "strange" once you get used to it. I told him that all sorts of men use tools to help them--construction workers, scientists, soldiers--and this was just a different kind of tool. The camo helped too. I'm sure he would have eventually night-trained on his own, but this product helped him feel "normal" and confident, and for that I'd pay a hundred dollars any day!

Four days in and it is working! So, out of four nights worn, only the very first early morning resulted in an accident. None of us have found the alarm scary as at least one other review noted. The kid is not wholly comfortable wearing this, but neither is he complaining over-much. We've been keeping the wire on the outside of his shirt.Kid really likes the chart that is included and we added some incentives in conjunction with the chart... However, I am wondering if the incentives are what is driving him and not the alarm. Well, whatever works is fine. Really.I would recommend it.
