Product Reviews of Wet-Stop3 Bedwetting Alarm System (Green)
Product Review: Excellent alarm, but you may need to get up with your child!
Summary: 5 Stars
The alarm works well. Its a good product and will work. But, if you have a younger child you may have to get up in the middle of the night with him to help him remove the alarm from his underwear and clip it onto new dry ones. Overall -- its a good way to end bedwetting. It trains the child not to wet at night. If you want a more independent alarm, try a remote one where the child needs to get up and walk across the room to turn off the alarm. Less parent involvement. That said, I think parent involvement is good for the whole non-bedwetting process. I used a book called Waking Up Dry along with the alarm and had success. I particularly like the visualization exercises in that book -- child lays down and imagines his bladder is telling his brain to wake up. It works. And kids think its fun. Overall good experience.Product Review: Fantastic product!
Summary: 5 Stars
We did everything for YEARS to help our son, who is a very deep sleeper. I stopped short of medicating or "wiring" him at night. I wish I had "wired" him sooner. The Wet-Stop 3 helped my son in under 2 weeks right before his 12th birthday. Don't wait for it to go away on it's own. Get this product!Product Review: Fantastic product!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
At first I was skeptical as to whether or not this was going to work. The first 2 weeks, my son (6 years old) was making the alarm go off up to 3 times per night. He is such a sound sleeper, that even with the alarm going off, we would have to wake him up. But, a month into using the alarm system, my son is staying dry all night! He has just stopped going completely and stays dry. We are limiting fluid intake after dinner, and wake him once at midnight before we go to sleep to have him use the bathroom. Then he stays dry the rest of the night. I am delighted with the progress he has made, and so is he!!Product Review: For a 9 year old
Summary: 3 Stars
Pro: easy for my 9 year old to put on and use. not too cumbersome.
Con: difficult for parent to hear the alarm in another room to help the child get up. I had to purchase an inexpensive baby monitor to hear the alarm.
To soon to tell if the device is helpful. Wish the alarm was louder.
Product Review: Functioned as designed, but didn't solve the problem.
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased for a four year old that's completely potty trained, except waking up at night to take care of business. This device sounded like a great idea: at first sign of wetness, wake the lil' guy up, startle him to stop peeing, and run to the bathroom with him. However, it didn't quite turn out that nicely.
First off, the little clamp to attach it to "where it's going to get wet" feels pretty cheap - and I'd let that slide if its functionality were great. The tension it can achieve is so weak, however, that it pretty much can only snap onto underwear...instead of thicker pajamas (or sweat pants.)
For deep-sleepers like mine, this really did nothing. No amount of beeping or vibration that this could put out would interrupt the slumber. In an attempt to make the alarm closer to his ear to hear it, we tried putting the beeping part at the head of the bed. Two problems there: (1) The cord was a bit short, and (2) If your child moves at night like mine, it'll probably end up on the floor or underneath his body, unheard.
The last brilliant attempt was to put the buzzer thing on his neckline to position it closer to his ear to wake him up. Again, no go: the clamp isn't very strong, and I had a sneaky suspicious that the wire connecting the buzzer to the moisture sensor (basically a phone cable) would become wrapped around my child's neck whilst he slept (he's a wild sleeper.) Since it hadn't worked on any other attempt, I figured that a pee-soaked child in the morning is better than no child.
Instead of this, we've been trying something cheaper that actually works: a kitchen timer set to go off ever 1 hour 15 minutes. (We noticed that most of the bed wetting was between bedtime, around 8pm, and grown-up bedtime, around 11-12pm.) The kitchen timer is pretty loud (wakes up everybody in a quiet house) and we already had one. With that said, this "Bedwetting Alarm System" seems more of a gimmick that anything proven to stop bedwetting. (It's nothing more than a kitchen timer that goes off when liquid gets on the exposed circuit board to close the circuit.)
Wouldn't personally recommend (though other seem to have varying degrees of success with it.) Try a kitchen timer first.
