It did not work for me... my child is still wetting the bed... the alarm starts ringing when he is all wet... is this normal?

We were at our wits' end with our son's bedwetting, and with him having just turned 9, we figured it was time to finally try the alarm, which we had read about. It couldn't have worked better. After about 4-5 days of intermittent success, he was dry for every night after for the next 6 weeks before we took it off. We were a bit worried with how he would react to using it, but he was all for it, learned how to put it on and take it off -- we should have done this sooner! We went away twice in the weeks immediately after starting to use it, all dry nights! Then, after he stopped using it, we went away for the weekend and stayed with friends -- stayed dry. He's had another sleepover since, and 6 months after starting it, he's stayed dry. A great product.

My son who was entering 5th grade (10 years old) and still filling a diaper at night was more than ready to try something to get over this (as were we, to get up in the middle of the night!). Sleepovers were always tricky and it was affecting his self-esteem to be at this age and still not be able to be dry at night. We followed the program to the tee and within 8 weeks, he was done using the alarm, sleeping through the night and completely dry. AMAZING!

The product, when it worked, definitely woke my son up and helped in reducing bedwetting instances. However, the unit had issues with going off for no reason (even when the sensor was disconnected.) I was more frustrated with the unit than I was with the bedwetting because it was discouraging to my child when it would go off for no apparent reason. The settings were correct and the sensor was clean and dry.

My 6 year old daughter has always had difficulty at night, due to her being such a deep sleeper. All she needed was this alarm to "teach" her the signs of her body at night and in 2 weeks, she was dry!!!! I know these results are not typical, but we are so happy and so is she. It have been 3 months, we stopped using the alarm after 4 weeks and had no accidents. Excellent product.

We didn't get a chance to really try this product because the first night, my son talked me into clipping the pager near his waist. He failed to wake up to the alarm, and by the time we heard it down the hall he had completely wet himself, including the pager. It was fried and non-functional. Seems to me they should make a device that is waterproof. Not sure what else to try.

I purchased this when my son was 8 1/2. He was never dry more than about 1 night every 6 months. After wearing the alarm for 3 weeks, he achieved night time dryness and has stayed dry at night for several months now. He is so proud of himself and I am wondering why I didn't purchase this alarm sooner!

We tried this on my daughter the day it arrived. She had just turned 7 years old and had not had a dry night in over a year. At first, she had a few very wet nights and then she started waking up when she first started wetting the bed. After 2.5 weeks she was dry. Amazing! She has not wet the bed for over 2 months and gets up by herself to use the toilet at night. The product is a bit chunky and sits awkwardly on the shoulder, but I like it's simplicity and it did not malfunction. My daughter is delighted to not have to wear pull ups. I will use this product on my son when he turns 5. I do not think you need to wait until the child turns 7 as some physicians suggest. Each child is different and some may respond sooner. Just be prepared for a few weeks of broken sleep!

Takes time to work but if you have enough patience you will not be disappointed.

It took no more than four weeks for my seven year old son to gain complete control over night. He's always been a heavy sleeper and would never wake up to go to the bathroom. We would try making him go before we went to bed, but it was like he was sleep walking. Using this alarm, within a week, he started to have dry nights. It actually worked for us in about 2 weeks, but we kept using a few more weeks to be sure. Now three months later, we've been dry every night! This is a must buy product if you need help to stop bed wetting!

This is the second Malem Alarm I have purchased. I bought the first one 4 years ago when my daughter was 6 years old. She stopped having accidents within 2 months. I still use the alarm with her occasionally when she has an accident and it works like new. I bought my 6 year old son the alarm and he stopped having accidents within 2 weeks-- and he had accidents every night prior to the alarm. I highly recommend the Malem Alarm! I also recommend the bed pads, which make night time bed changes much easier, just strip the pad and the top cover.

It took about eight weeks to fully stop the bed wetting, and the weekly chart enclosed with the product was a great motivational tool. Don't give up, it will work, even with minor setbacks along the way. We turned off the audio alarm pretty quickly as it was quite scary, and used only the vibrating function which shook him awake at the first sign of wetness (it was audible as well). It taught him to recognize when his body was just beginning to let go, allowing him to retain almost all of it, until voiding in the restroom. We used it attached to his underwear, under a goodnight pull-up, and what a relief not to change bedding in the wee hours of the night anymore! I would and will advise anyone who has a child with a bed wetting issue to buy this product without delay. You will be so happy that you did! Our eight-year-old, who is an extremely sound sleeper, has asked us repeatedly why we didn't order this when he was four. How I wish I'd known about this sooner! Our child is now so proud of himself and so ready for his first sleepover. Absolutely worth every last penny!!!

I suppose the product would work well for kids that do not sleep heavy. The problem is, most kids who wet the bed do so because they are heavy sleepers. Neither the sounds (on high) or vibration could wake my son. :(

Within a month she was dry all night. She was able to get up and shut off alarm alone and then get parent to help with bathroom trip or accident. She enjoyed a first friend sleepover 6 weeks after starting!

My son is 5 (closer to 6) and was wearing pull ups forever. He had no interest in practicing a dry night or a night without diapers. We encouaged him to select a color describing what it would do for him. He has had great success with this product. He is already having dry nights and will wake up on his own to use the bathroon. He is also very proud of himself which is great since he didn't really want to try it in the first place. We have been using it for about a month. I don't foresee using it much longer since he is already having dry nights
