Product Reviews of Wet-Stop3 Bedwetting Alarm System (Green)
Product Review: Functions, but didn't work for us
Summary: 2 Stars
I wasn't sure how to rate this thing. It functioned as it was supposed to, but after 2 weeks, our 5 year old wasn't at all changed in the amount she wet the bed. Unfortunately, we were all just exhausted all the time from being woken up all night...
It would probably help a child who was on the cusp of being able to wake up on his/her own to go pee, but my husband wet the bed until he was 8 or 9 and they say it's genetic... It's worth a try if you think it may work for your child. The product did perform the way it was supposed to.
Product Review: Get's the job done
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my three year old that has been potty trained for over a year. When she switch to no mid day naps she started to have accidents nightly, we didn't realize that she was so tired that she couldn't wake up to go to the bathroom. Took her to the doctor just to make sure she was OK, and then I found this alarm. It is so worth the $60. Once we figured out the right spot to put the sensor, it would go off before the under was wet. The alarm could be louder but it gets the job done. Some times my daughter is so exhausted that nothing will wake her up, but I can hear it go off in the next room and put her on the toilet in time, so I guess it is just right. Oh yeah, my daughter loves the silver and gold stickers that come with the calendar, it's a great motivator. For every week's worth of stars she gets a trip to the ice cream parlor.Product Review: Good product
Summary: 4 Stars
We have had success with this product. Yes if you have a deep sleeper they may not hear the alarm but I have always woke up to it in the next room. I think that my daughter actually wakes up due to the vibration that this alarm has. The only change I wish they could make to the product is to have an attachment to the pjs on both ends of the device to hold the alarm portion in place. We have had a couple of nights where the magnet itself was not enough.Product Review: Good, but not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
This product really worked for our intended purpose--helping our child overcome a bed-wetting problem, so I guess that should earn it a 5 star rating. However, its construction left a bit to be desired. The alarm box had a difficult time actually staying put each night at the child's shoulder, and it is not loud enough to alert parents who may need to be part of the retraining process (depending upon the distance of rooms apart). The sensor wire broke at the alarm end--a simple phone jack connection--and you'd be hard pressed to find a replacement locally. Somehow I think it would defeat the inconspicuous intent of the wire to cut, splice, and wrap the repair with electrical tape. Nevertheless, our problem was pretty much resolved by the time the alarm met its demise, so I'd probably buy a second, if a higher quality, equally-priced alternative was not available.Product Review: Great price, works well.
Summary: 5 Stars
We started using the Wet-Stop3 with our son when he turned 5 yrs, and it has worked great.Up to this point from age 2-5 he never once had a dry diaper or pull up.
We checked many web sites and blogs about bed wetting and alarms. Some suggest waiting till age 6 may be better to assure maturity of the urinary sphincter muscles, however this is up to your discretion. Our 5yr old was begging not to wear pull ups and completely understood the concept of the alarm when we showed him the pictures on the computer and explained the process.
The Wet-Stop3 was less expensive than other models, and takes regular triple A batteries. Apparently other brands use watch batteries that burn out quickly and cost more.
The sensor clip and magnet attatchment for alarm box are easy to use. Our son learned quickly how to perform the 2 step process to stop the alarm. Even though he can do it, we still get up when the alarm goes off. He's a very deep sleeper, and still needs a little direction to the toilet.
The 1st week can be a little rough w/ getting up several times a night, but this quickly cut down the 2nd/3rd week. By 4-5wks just 1x/night. 6-7wks he finally had dry nights scattered in. It's great to see how excited and proud they are to finally be dry.
We still use the alarm every night, but again our son is a little young, so it may take longer than an older child. Overall I think this is a great product. Great price, great concept, very pleased.
