DryEasy Bedwetting Alarm

Update: We have used this alarm for almost a month now and it has worked perfectly. He now has a full week completely dry and has only had two alarms for tiny leaks in the last two weeks. The alarm woke him so early, that he only had a drop or two in his undies and we didn't have to change bedding at all. I'm very happy with this alarm. Also, for a kiddo who sometimes carries the alarm by the cord and swings it around by the cord, I'm very pleased with the quality of the product. It has held up well. We don't clip it to pajamas - just lay it on my son's bed or pillow next to him because he doesn't wear a pajama top to bed. We've only has one single instance of the alarm not sounding - the second week we used it, my son clipped it a bit too high up on his underwear, so it was not near where he actually wet. That was easily fixed by making sure the alarm is positioned right where it should be and we've had no other issues. If I'd known it would work this well, I would have bought it sooner. We followed the recommendations of having a parent sleep in the room with him for the first two - three weeks, so that we could get him up immediately to go the bathroom, as soon as the alarm sounded. I think that initial routine of making sure he was up right away and not sleeping through the alarm or just resetting it while wet is what helped us have quick success. __________________________________________________________ Original Review: We've used this alarm for a week now - so far, so good! Exactly what we had hoped for. It alarms immediately when it should, with no false alarms. I researched lots of brands before choosing this one based on reviews, features and price. We read the directions and plenty of reviews before we started. I let my son decide when he was ready. He chose the volume and alarm sound and I chose sound and vibration for extra help waking. He doesn't wear a pajama shirt to bed, so I used a cloth headband as an armband and clipped the alarm to it - rather than to a shirt. My son has also slept with the alarm next to him or on his pillow and we've had no problems with it at all. The cord seems to be attached well. I do wish it came with a soft armband, but it works really well, is reliable, and a great price. The first time we tested it before bed, he went to the bathroom and dripped a bit in his underwear, so when he attached the sensor to his undies with wet drips, the alarm went off before we even started. But, he realized why (undies were a tiny bit wet) and now he just makes sure he dries off before pulling his underwear up. This alarm has worked perfectly. It sounds as soon as there is a drop of moisture and I take him right to the bathroom. It hasn't given any false alarms and hasn't missed any accidents. It resets easily with no washing or unplugging - just hit reset and dry off the sensor. My son can clip it on his undies with no help from me.The noise is loud enough, but I still get him up right away, so that he doesn't go back to sleep or become used to it. We want to help the process/habit go faster by heading straight to the bathroom when it sounds. We have used undies only with the alarm and have several cloth waterproof mattress pads we ordered here on Amazon that just lay on top of the sheets. If the alarm sounds we go to the restroom immediately, he empties his bladder, changes to clean undies, clips the alarm back on, and if the mattress pad got wet, we just peel it off, lay the next clean mattress pad down on top of the sheets, and go right to bed - with no changing sheets. If we have any problems, we'll update later, but so far this is exactly as it was advertised!

I don't have any complaints about this alarm! It is very simple to use. A child trying to attach it themselves might have trouble, but I always do it for my 5 year old son, though he likes to help me attach the blue alarm box to his shirt. When I researched bedwetting alarms, the most common complaints on some of them were false alarms due to sweat, and not being able to reuse the alarm until it dried out well because it would continue to go off. This alarm has not had either problem! My son is hot natured, but his sweat has not caused a false alarm. The way this alarm works, he would have to soak his underwear with sweat to set it off. Also, once the sensor is detached from the wet underwear (which you have to do before you can turn off the alarm, so a child can't simply push the reset button and ignore the alarm), you can immediately reattach it to dry underwear and it's good to go! The sensor is very sensitive to wetness, though. So much so that my son has accidentally leaked a tiny bit in his underwear twice after he was awake but hadn't taken it off yet, and the alarm started going off. My son accidentally dropped the blue box in the toilet once. It went off incessantly until we took out the batteries, but after we let it dry out completely it has worked perfectly since then. When that happened I went ahead and replaced the batteries as a precaution, but that's the only time I've replaced them so far. We are on our 8th week using the alarm. I can't say that he is cured yet, but his bedwetting has greatly improved!! I was having to change the sheets multiple times a week before getting it, and that was with me taking him to the bathroom 2-3 times a night usually!! With him using the alarm I have rarely woken him to go to the bathroom, wanting to let it do it's job. There have been 6 times he has wet twice in one night, and I really expected that to happen more often, especially in the beginning. The alarm does not wake him up (it is very loud, and has the options of multiple sounds and a vibration, but he is just a very hard sleeper!), so I sleep in his room at least part of the night so I can wake him up immediately when the alarm goes off. The sensor is clipped to his underwear and then he wears a pull-up (we call them "special underwear" so he still feels like a big boy) over his underwear, so that helps contain the wetness most of the time. I haven't had to change his sheets near as often. He loves the sticker chart! If he wets, he gets a rainy cloud sticker. If he is dry, he gets a sunshine sticker. If he wets a little bit, but we catch it and he finishes mostly in the toilet, he gets a partly sunny sticker. We just took him out for ice cream because he now has more sunshine stickers on his whole chart than the other two stickers combined!! So far the most sunshine stickers in a row he's gotten is 5, but he's improving! I keep notes on the approximate time he goes to sleep and when he wets. That has helped me learn some things in this process too. Even if he is not completely cured of bedwetting by the time we reach the end of the 12 week chart, I feel we will still be far ahead of where we were when we started. I am so glad I bought this particular alarm! It has been well worth the money, and I don't see any need of a more expensive one when this one has done a superb job!! Update: It's been nearly a year since we stopped using the alarm. We went through the entire program, and he still had wet nights near the end, but something seemed to click after we finished the program and stopped using the alarm. When we stopped using it, I started taking him to the bathroom in the night only one time, about an hour after he went to bed (prior to using the alarm I would take him multiple times and he still wet the bed). Gradually I was able to expand the time before I took him, and he continued to stay dry. After 6 months of that I stopped taking him altogether. It has now been almost a year since the last time he wet the bed!! He can drink as much as he wants and no problems!! I really think the alarm helped us in this process greatly. I am thrilled I don't have to take him to the bathroom at night, or limit his drinks anymore!!! Be patient. Use the alarm for the entire program. Take notes along the way. It will help you!!

I will start this review by saying that the previous reviews were critical in helping us stick with the process and ultimately in making this experience a success which is why I wanted to add a review and share our experience. The child who underwent this treatment came to stay with us for awhile due to some challenges at home. When he arrived he had been wearing pull-ups at night for years and would only occasionally have dry nights. After doing some research we decided that an alarm would be the best support/intervention and I ordered this alarm based on the simplicity and positive reviews. While I had read the directions and personal anecdotes I was not fully prepared for how intense and iterative this experience was going to be. The alarm worked exactly as promised, when wet it goes off. The noise and the vibration work well. The variety of sounds was useful too, especially since one of the sounds didn't seem to effect him as much as the others. The problem we encountered was not the alarm but the child keeping the alarm on. The plus side of having an 11 year old do the intervention is that he could snap the alarm on and off on his own, which I could see being hard for little hands and fingers. However, he was also taking the alarm off at night because, well, he could. This lead to the treatment needing to go on for a longer amount of time. We tried to reason with him and celebrate when he would keep it on, but often in the middle of the night he would take it off for whatever reason and then would wet the bed. The plus side was that there were a good portion of nights when he kept the alarm on long enough for it to go off and stimulate his brain and body to get up. These nights led to him being able to get up and go pee when he needed to, before wetting the bed, and also staying dry longer through the night. The final and longest hurdle was staying dry through the final morning hours. Once he could make it through the night he was mostly wetting the bed early in the morning. Then it moved to him waking up at his normal hour while wetting the bed, which was accompanied by "the dream". The one where you think you're on the toilet but you're not actually. This last phase was hard because he would stay dry all night and then in the last moments of the morning it would happen, and he would have already taken off his alarm during the night. We tried adding an alarm clock to wake him up earlier, but that didn't seem to help. There was one point in week 9 when he had kept the alarm on all night and then he began to wet the bed, the alarm went off and he woke up quickly and finished in the bathroom. This was the last day he wet the bed. It seemed as though he just needed that final alarm to go off in the morning. Around week 6 we had 7 dry nights in a row and he was convinced he didn't need to wear his alarm. As we were working on him taking responsibility for his dryness we told him we supported him and let him make the choice. That night he wet the bed and felt really disappointed, like he had messed up the progress. We told him what was most important was that he believed in himself and that he kept working at it. The attitude and positive self talk was a huge part of the work. Initially he would say that he was broken and that there was just something wrong with him which was why he couldn't do it. We started saying some phrases every night before bed to help combat this and create new habits, "I can do this", "when I wake up in the morning I go to the bathroom" and "If I have that dream I need to tell myself I am not in the bathroom". We also started doing a meditation at night to calm down and stay positive. It took 10 weeks to stay dry. He has been dry for almost a month now. This was a lot of work, but totally worth it. There was a lot of sleepless nights for me waking up to make sure he woke up or make sure he was still wearing the alarm. There was still a lot of laundry and purchasing of pads to keep the mattress dry (we used a plastic sheet and the pads). We talked about pee A LOT. We didn't want to sweep anything under the rug or make him feel ashamed. We talked about how urine moves through the body, how our brain works when we need to go pee, and we celebrated every dry night or if it wasn't dry that he at least kept his alarm on. This alarm helped this kid achieve a goal that had seemed out of reach for so long. Once he made it through the 14 days he told him mom that his body just decided it was done wetting the bed. Sticker chart: We used it. He was motivated by seeing the progress and it was a useful tool for talking about the process and seeing the growth, especially on those days when he regressed. The stickers had different meaning throughout the process which helped us focus on what was important at different times. Rewards: We tried to motivate with rewards. While they kept him engaged at the beginning, they became less important later in the process. Waking with the child: our rooms are right next to each other so I didn't sleep in his room with him but I was able to hear the alarm if I kept our doors open so that I could go and wake him up when it started going off and get him to finish in the bathroom (very important part of the process) The right underwear and placement: Athletic material did not make for great underwear and the placement of the alarm was really important. He used cotton boxer briefs and it seemed best when it was placed on the front flap.

I am writing this review in hopes it will help other families going through the same things I went through with my son. My son is 7 years old and I tried everything to help him stop using a diaper at night (no liquids after dinner, waking him up once a night to have him go pee, etc.) And nothing worked. So after reading the reviews for this alarm, and since it was an affordable price, I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did! It took longer than I expected (the full 12 weeks) and was a big commitment on my part to see it through, but my son has been dry now for over a month. I would help him put the alarm on every night, as it proved tricky for him to set up by himself. And I slept in his room all 12 weeks to help him through the process. Each night, I attached the cord to his underwear and then put a pull up diaper over top to keep from having to change sheets every day and also to hold the cord in place. He used the arm band for the unit and wore a shirt overtop to hold the cords and unit in place. The unit is loud when it goes off (I would jump up from a deep sleep when I heard it from across the room) but he never once woke up by himself from it. To turn it off in the night, I would unplug the end of the cord from the unit, hit reset, and then help him into the bathroom to help him change his underwear and diaper. The next morning, he would not remember anything from the night before. This went on every night for the first 6 weeks. Some nights he would continue peeing right through the alarm, and some nights he would stop peeing when the alarm went off even though he didn't wake up. There was no pattern or apparent progress to the lack of peeing, and I began to doubt whether the alarm was helping him and thought about quitting. But I went back to these reviews and re-read them. Plus I went on other alarm websites and learned that it was not necessary or important for him to wake up to the alarm, but that it was still subconsciously teaching my son. So I stayed with it. And around week 8 he started to consistently have dry nights. I would hear him get up and go to the bathroom all by himself without the alarm going off! It was amazing to see first hand how this worked. He still had a few wet nights when the alarm would go off, and he still slept through it and I would have get him up, but those nights were becoming fewer. Finally at week 11 he went the whole week without a wet diaper and he has been dry ever since for the last 30 days! He stopped using the alarm after week 13 and stopped the diapers after week 14. He now gets up all by himself in the night, sometimes twice a night, and goes to the bathroom. (Interestingly, even now, he doesn't remember getting up and using the bathroom from the night before.) My son is so proud of himself and so excited not to be wetting a diaper at night, it has completely changed his life. This specific alarm is good. The batteries have lasted and the unit still works great. My son also loved the progress stickers and putting them on the chart each night. Even now he wants to continue doing that. The alarm is a little tricky to set up and turnoff, so gave it 4 stars rather than 5 but would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, well built alarm.

I never write reviews. And I feel badly about it because I rely heavily on them when I make purchases. So this busy mama of four is taking the time to write this review because it has impacted my life in such a significant way that I have to share my story! My son is 5. I had him potty trained right before he turned 3. Mostly. He was NEVER able to keep dry at night. Everyone said it's a bladder maturity thing. Everyone said he will eventually grow out of it. Well 2+ years later and he is still peeing in his pants every single night while he sleeps and I am trying to be patient while praying and hoping he won't be 10 years old and still wetting the bed every night! So I did a little research. Turns out he wets the bed at night because he is a deep sleeper and he has not yet made the brain to bladder connection to wake up to go to the bathroom. So that is where this alarm comes into play. I admit I was quite skeptical. Or perhaps simply cautious in allowing myself any form of optimism? Anyway, this is how it works: you clip a sensor to their underwear, clip the alarm to the top of their shirt (or arm, with included arm band), and when they start to urinate while they sleep, the alarm not only rings, but vibrates as well. I chose this particular bed wetting alarm because it has customizable options. You can determine how loud you want the alarm to ring, which was important to me because my son shares a room with my 1 year old and I did NOT want my baby waking up. The unit never woke the baby on the lowest volume setting (I never tried it any louder). You can also choose to turn the ringer off completely and have it just vibrate, or turn the vibration off and have it just ring. So that was pretty cool. I chose to do both, volume set to lowest option. There is a cute little sticker chart that comes with the product, that for a 5 year old is super exciting. There are 3 sticker options: sunshine - for a dry night, partly cloudy - for a semi-wet night, and a stormy raincloud - for a wet night. A few days into week 1 and I wanted to give up already (LOL) because who wants to go back to newborn days of waking up in the middle of the night? Not me! But other reviewers said to be consistent, so consistent I was. It was hit or miss at first, in terms of how he did. The alarm went off every night for 9 nights, but some of those nights he had only barely started to urinate and he made it to the restroom! Exciting stuff! I still had to change his underwear because the sensor is super sensitive so any form of dampness and it'll go off. My husband thought it was ridiculous and borderline child abuse (exaggerating) putting this contraption on him every night, and it didn't help my resolve. Well then this happened: Day 10, 11, 12, ...seven days straight completely DRY ALL NIGHT!!! I am completely astounded at how well this thing worked. Last night my son and I were both so excited for him to go to bed without the alarm, and he did it again! He used it for a total of 15 days and we no longer need it. I do not think I can truly express how grateful I am to the creators of this alarm system, and to God for guiding me to purchase this! Its affordable, easy to use, and it really truly works! Here are a few tips/tricks: *As another reviewer recommended, I put underwear on first, clipped the sensor to that, and put a pull-up on over his underwear, so night time changes were a breeze and he could go right back to bed. Brilliant. *Also from another reviewer - if you are worried about your fingers getting too close to private areas, you can clip the sensor to the underwear before they put it on. It's actually easier this way so you don't accidentally clip something else by mistake. Ouch! *Some reviewers mentioned that they have sweaty kids and the sensor would go off from sensing perspiration. I do not necessarily have a sweaty kid, but what I did, that I think might work for those sweatier kids (those with boys), is I clipped the sensor to that extra flap of material in their underwear that boys have. I think it kept the sensor a little more away from his body, but still worked perfectly whenever he started to urinate. Just a thought. *Be positive and supportive with your child and dry nights are only a few weeks away! :-) I hope this review helps others not only choose this item (because it rocks), but also helps with application and just encouragement to power through! And my prayers that this works just as well for you!

We ordered this a few months ago for my 4.5 year old son who has been potty trained for 1.5 years but still wets at night. He either sleeps through it or doesn't care because he wakes up in the morning wet (we took pullups away a couple months before I ordered it) about half the time and it doesn't seem to mess with his sleep. We thought this would be good because we could get a sense of when he was peeing and also get him in the habit of getting up to use the potty. Right when we ordered this, he randomly had a stretch of dry days so we held off on using it. Then we were away. We finally started using it about 2 weeks ago (the dry days had been a fluke!). Some nights its woken him on first drops, and he's gotten up and used the potty. He's barely damp and feels good about getting up and using the potty. That's how its supposed to go. Other nights (its been about 50/50) it either doesn't wake him or it spooks him and he sits and cries in bed rather than getting up. By the time we get to him, he's soaked. Those nights suck. But its still early. The design is kind of flawed in my opinion. You can't make the horrible noise stop without disconnecting it from the damp/wet underwear, which isn't something a child can do. So even when the kid is doing the right thing, the machine keeps screaming till an adult can get there to disconnect it. There is a reset button that's easy to press (my 4 year old can do it), but as soon as the sensor gets wet again, the alarm immediately sounds again. Which is why you need to fully disconnect the sensor before hitting reset for the sound to really stop. Also, less than 2 weeks into using this (10 days), the batteries died and we didn't know it. This led to a night where no alarm went off not because he didn't wet, but because the alarm went off almost silently. I'm surprised that an item that had only gone off 8 times for less than a minute each time had drained 2 batteries already. That isn't very efficient. There isn't an off button so I don't know if its drawing power all the time while the sensor is waiting for moisture?? The sticker chart that comes with it is nice. So far no progress for us so its hard to give this too favorable a review but it may just be too early.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME REVIEWING A PRODUCT (and I buy literally everything with Amazon!) I just had to review this because it made such an impact on my son's life. I bought this alarm when my son was 5 years old.. but he was terrified to try it. I put it away for about 6 months because I didn't want to make it something completely stressful for him. I talked him into trying it when he turned 6 (and I was completely losing my mind with his bed wetting!) My son's pediatrician would tell us that it is COMPLETELY NORMAL for kids to wet the bed and was not a cause for concern until they hit double digits. I asked at every well visit from age 4 to 6 and he said that every time. I tried to be patient and I tried everything possible to help him stay dry at night (restricted fluids after 6pm, peeing several times before bed, waking him up around 10pm and taking him to the bathroom) even after doing all of that he would still wet the bed WITH A PULLUP ON! He would just soak the pull-up completely. So we ended up having him wear two pullups (which is insane to me but I didn't know what else to do). My youngest son is 3 and he was now completely trained (day and night.. no pullups) so to the alarm I went. He was still afraid to try it but more willing at that point since his little brother was out of pullups. The first night I was so nervous that when the alarm went off he would freak out.. but he didn't!! He came shuffling into my room rubbing his eyes and I turned it off. Here's how it went for us/him.. we still restricted his fluids after 6pm. He went pee right before bed (8pm). We put his regular underwear on him, then attached the sensor clip, then a pull-up over that (and his PJ's). The first few nights were the same.. sensor went off around 11pm, he came in and I unclipped it, finished peeing in the toilet (since the sensor going off stopped him from completely wetting himself in bed) and we put new underwear, attached the sensor and out on a new pull-up. Eventually I got smarter and kept a basket of pullups and underwear in the bathroom. After a few days he was used to this routine and would come to me to unattach the sensor clip but then he would do everything else himself. After using the sensor for about a week we realized that we didn't need to reattach it after it went off the first time because he was staying dry after that (11pm on). The second week.. he wasn't wetting until around 2am (awesome.. progress!) At the third week mark we have gone the ENTIRE WEEK without ANY accidents.. meaning the alarm did not go off at all and he was completely dry all night!!!! I'm not exaggerating when I say that his entire life up to 6 years old he probably only had about 5 dry nights ever (and most when he was sick and dehydrated)! Even though we were waking him up at night to take him to the bathroom.. it wasn't when HIS body needed to go so that never worked. I truly feel that the sensor helped his brain and body connect the signal of waking up when he gets the urgency to pee. My son is a HEAVY sleeper and he is tall and slim.. both of these are why the pediatrician said we're causing him to wet the bed. After using the alarm he has actually woken himself up to pee and then went back to bed. This may be the norm for some kids but this was an epic moment for my 6 year old!!! We have had the full week of staying dry and are still using the sensor (my son actually wants to keep using it!) But we are no longer using it with pullups.. just underwear at this point. I am so amazingly happy with the sensor that I just had to write a review! Good luck to you all! Two cons of the product... The clip that attaches to the underwear is a little awkward to use. Also.. there is a button on the alarm that you can press to stop the beeping once it has sensed wetness.. but since my son could not unclip the underwear sensor clip it kept going off until I unclipped it. He would have to hold down the silence button the whole way over to my room and until I fumbled around and unclipped it.

So I don't normally write reviews but I felt like I should because this has really changed our entire night time life! When I got this I was at my Wit's end and my five year old twin daughters were still wearing Pull-Ups at night. I talked to the pediatrician about it at their five year appointment and she explained that 15% of normal children with no biological issues will have bed wedding until age seven when they finally mature out of needing some sort of diaper at night. This seemed crazy to me and we have tried everything to encourage they're readiness to be pulled up free at night time and they also were saying that they didn't want to wear pull-ups anymore. Looking back they were potty trained during the day at 3:00 or 3 1/2 years old and they were pull ups at night. They were never dry in the morning and they were wild cards during the day for naps. I ended up reading a lot about the bladder brain connection during sleep and young children and I told myself maybe they're just sleeping so deeply that there bladder can't get through to their brain to wake up and go to the potty. Long story short and getting pregnant and I was determined to find a way for them to understand during sleep to wake up and go to the bathroom especially since when they would have accidents they were so upset I could tell that it was all very involuntary. Nonetheless the constant cleaning of dirty sheets was driving me crazy and the sleepless nights while I was pregnant and already having trouble sleeping was just killing me. Finally I bought two of these alarms and extra large dog pee pads. I taped the dog pee pads to the mattress underneath of the sheet where they sleep so that I didn't have to keep cleaning the mattress cover. I could peel the dirty sheet off and then throw away the pee pee pad and start over. We started with these pee alarms from day one with normal cotton underwear alone because I think that Pull-Ups give the child a sensation of a diaper and even subconsciously makes them think it's okay to release the urine so we got completely away from anything that felt like a diaper. I showed them what it would sound like and feel like we talked a lot about it all day long they were very excited to try them. I then slept with them for the first night so that they could experience it with me right there and it wouldn't be too disorienting the first time knowing that they would pee and it would sense it. The sensor is very very accurate and very sensitive do not be misled by the price these are very good. Actually I believe my husband said how much did you spend on this and I told him and he said oh well they're going to be junk there's more money wasted on Amazon! Boy was he wrong!it took my one daughter about a week to 10 days before she could get consistently into more than two or three days dry. My other daughter who was definitely having a harder time all around with this but had the emotional desire it took her more like two to three weeks to get into a rhythm. The sensor gets clipped to the outside crotch of the underpants and then we clipped the control box to the front chest of their shirt because if they were laying on their side or their back it seemed to be the most comfortable spot. We never put it on their wrist, I would then wrap up the rest of the cord which is a bit long but probably perfect for an older child and I would stuff the cord into their pajama pants so there wasn't any slack otherwise it's just kind of everywhere in the bed. You can set it to vibrate and make noise and I did this and it worked out well I was a little worried that if one kid was alarming the other one would like false alarm and wake up but this hasn't happened yet. And they sleep in the same bedroom. I have no other device to compare this to but for something that is temporary it seems to be a real deal of a price and it does function and work exactly as advertised. We've used the batteries that it came with since we got it probably 4 to 5 weeks ago haven't changed them since. Now that we've been at it for over a month and they've had sleepovers using them and no accidents for quite a while we will probably start to wean off of them. I'm getting ready to have a baby and prior to this I was waking up all night long waking them up so that they would go to the bathroom thinking that maybe it would help them to understand to wake up all night long to pee and I realized that it wasn't really teaching their brain or their bladder anything but these alarms do actually start to condition them to understand in a sleep state to wake up and go to the bathroom it's amazing. Don't hesitate, buy it!

I have made a repeat purchase of this product and the same is working fine. The first purchase was made 2 years back and it worked well for the last 2 years. Hence satisfied with the product and reordered

Product doesn’t work

These used to sell on Amazon Australia for $40 which was an acceptable price considering they only last on average 2 months sometimes they only last for 2 weeks, however, the price has now risen to $112 it’s not worth the money because they do not last and if you’re in Australia, you cannot claim warranty either

As descripted

After years of night nappies as well as lack of success with medication, we purchased this on recommendation from an NHS appointment. To say we’re amazed is an understatement. Having read reviews and the alarm instructions I was expecting this to take a few months, if it worked at all. Within 3 weeks my daughter was totally dry at night, including two weeks back to back nights dry. She is totally delighted as well. Some notes: -We used it on the vibrate setting as the alarm tones were very loud and shrill and we thought it would be a bit traumatising in the middle of the night! -We also had her in pull ups with pants underneath to attach the alarm to, to avoid wet bedding at the beginning. This worked fine and once she was dry for a few nights in a row we stopped the pull ups with no problem at all.
