We used the alarm as instructed. My son was eager to try it, and he had no problem sleeping with it. The system worked very well, and responded when he wet. Unfortunately I discovered that my son sleeps REALLY soundly. The alarm did not wake him up; I could not wake him up. We have decided to discontinue the alarm and try again in a few months. Overall, I think it's a good system, but if your child is a very sound sleeper, it may not be sufficient.

I have tried almost everything to get my seven year old son to stop wetting the bed. Our pediatrician had provided me the Bedwetting Store web site during my son's six year appointment. A year later, I finally visited the site and ordered the Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm Starter Kit. I was very skeptical, but hopeful that this thing would work. After two weeks of using the device, my son no longer needs the device and is not wetting the bed anymore! This product really works!!! For the first week, I slept with my son to make sure he wouldn't be too startled by the alarm. It is quite loud. I would stop the alarm and reattach the device after he went to the bathroom. During the second week, I could tell he was sleeping longer before the alarm went off until he finally slept through the night. The great things about this product are that this device really works and is easy to use. The only negative thing I can say, which is reaching a bit, is that I could not find a way to control the volume of the alarm. Thank you so much Bedwettingstore.com!

I purchased this starter kit for my 5.5 yr old daughter who was still wearing pull-ups and thoroughly soaked them EVERY single night. In fact, the first night, she wet the bed THREE times! In the first week, she was able to stop the flow when the alarm went off and make it to the bathroom to finish emptying her bladder. The second week consisted of 5 of 7 dry nights. We are currently about to complete week 5 and in the last 4 straight weeks, she has stayed completely dry 82% of the nights. I still don't understand how it works, but this was the best money I've ever spent. My daughter is a very hard sleeper and didn't hear it at first. I slept with her for the first 2 weeks to make sure she woke up to the alarm. After that, she was able to rouse on her own if it went off. The vibration helps too for hard sleepers who may be sensitive to feel, but not sound. The alarm is very easy to use, the matress covers are so much easier to switch out when necessary than a full matress pad and the book helped me to set a strategy. The Progress Chart is great to look back and see how far she has come in a short time period. I've been telling everyone about this product! It's like a miracle in our household. On the downside, probably the only thing I would complain about is the safety pin clasp. It's held up very well, but I can't help but feel it could easily break and then I would have no other way to attach it. As a design improvement, I would suggest a built in clip (kind of like the tiny square ipod shuffles that had a built in spring clip for easy attachment to clothes)

We purchased this system and the alarm only went off the first night. Our daughter has been dry ever since (over a month)!

Within a week my son was sleeping through the night accident free!

no, seriously - this alarm went through the washing machine! I didn't notice till I heard a clanking sound in the DRYER. {sigh} It was sort of going off randomly after that...but I put it in a ziplock bag full of rice for 2 days, and now works absolutely fine again, for the last 2 weeks. My son is 6 yrs old and had NEVER had a dry night until using this product. We've been underway with the plan for about 4 or 5 weeks now and we're batting about .500 over the last few weeks...it would be higher than that, but he tends to unhook the alarm after he wakes up and uses the toilet, and then wakes up wet in the AM. It is difficult to change the alarm tone (you have to take the batteries out to access it) but being able to customize it has enabled better compliance. He only liked the "lasers" sound. He can connect the alarm to his shirt and underwear himself, which is great. The book was so helpful in understanding the plan, and we are using the chart in the back to track our progress. We opted to use underwear UNDER a pullup, so we have not had the chance to evaluate the tuckable mattress pads. He is sleeping with them under him - so they must be fairly comfortable - but we haven't had to wash them yet.

This alarm is INCREDIBLE! All I can say is that I wish I had purchased it sooner. My 5-year-old (almost 6) is starting to stay nights over with a friend and expressed concern about staying dry at night. She was sleeping in an UnderJam every night and had NEVER had a dry night. I have to admit that I was very skeptical of the alarm. My daughter is a very deep sleeper and I wasn't sure that the alarm would wake her up. The first 2 nights the alarm went off a couple of times. By the third night she was waking up dry and every night since for over a month now. I could not believe how fast it worked! My daughter is so thrilled! I really wished I would have purchased the Malem Alarm sooner. What a blessing it has been to our family!

We are on our 6th week and my 8 year old son recently had 6 dry nights in a row (after being wet every night for years). After the first few days he only wet drops (literally) before the alarm woke him up and he was able to get to the bathroom. We didn't even need to change bedding or even his pajama bottoms; just underwear. Even if he didn't wake up immediately, he was still able to stop urinating after the alarm sounded. We couldn't be happier! Much better results than I even expected! I would highly recommend! The book was great; offering comprehensive information about bed wetting and a variety of solutions.

We purchased this for our son who has ADHD and sleeps soundly when his medication wares off. He would wet the bed every night but after the first night with the alarm he learned to stop mid stream and has now been accident free for about 8 weeks now. Wonderful product and worth the money.

This product is amazing. My son is 7 and a very deep sleeper. He had never had a dry night, ever, and by the end of week two he was dry and has been ever since. He is thrilled and so are we. I would have never dreamed this would have worked so well or so fast. I would certainly tell others about this wonderful alarm. Jenny

I'm disappointed that the clip broke off so quickly.

My son asked for the "monitor" when he was made fun of by another 6 year old for wearing a pull-up. He has filled in all the smileys on his chart and we have had 6 weeks of a dry bed.

We used this product for my 51/2 yr old who showed NO signs of staying dry at night. She consistently woke up with a really wet pull-up. We purchased the alarm and although we had to wake up 4 times/night for the first several days, by day 7-8, she started waking up before her alarm went off to go to the bathroom. By day 10 she was getting up only once without the alarm having to go off. Now after a month, she wakes up dry. The only downside is that the alarm is loud and sometimes seemed to scare my daughter. But she never remembered it the next day. And that only lasted for less than a week. Just when I was ready to give up because I was tired, she started getting up on her own. I truly believe that training her brain to wake up when she had to go potty was the key and that is what this alarm does. I don't think she would have learned this on her own, and I didn't want it to be a problem when she would be 9-10 yrs old. I also believe that your child needs to be "ready" to do this. They need to take part in it and need lots of praise because they will be tired too!

I purchased the Malem Ultimate for my almost 6 year old boy. He has been daytime potty trained since 2 years old but we've struggled with the nighttime. After his 5th birthday I decided to stop buying pullups. We went through night after night of having to change his bedding. Then I started "lifting". Again. After 3 weeks with no accidents I thought I could let him go through the night, but he ended up wet. That's when I broke down and bought the alarm. We are now starting our 6th week with the alarm and have 15 consecutive dry nights!

My son just turned 8 and bedwetting was a nightly occurence very embarrassing for him. The product worked its magic in only two weeks. He hasn't wet the bed in almost a month!
