Malem Ultimate Selectable Bedwetting Enuresis Alarm with Vibration & 8 Alarm Tones for Boys & Girls - Gold

This alarm was incredible. It is very well made. Literally 5 drops of water I used to test it were enough to make the alarm go, I bet it is even less drops with urine. The alarm and vibration combined were enough to wake my daughter almost every time.It clips on my daughters underwear, and when the material is wet, the gold plated clip can conduct through the material that had been insulating the circuit. Proper placement is important, but I don't think we had even one incident when it failed.Obviously, YMMV, but my daughter only really wet once in the first month, and was upset until I explained to her the alarm is helping her body practice recognizing that she has to go. The alarm didn't even go off 1/3 of the nights, and my daughter would wake up and go on her own. The nights the alarm did go off, her underwear were barely wet enough to bother changing, and probably would not have been if the device didn't need to be hooked back up. It really worked quickly for her. We could not be happier. She was wetting every night before we bought it, I bet the wash bill has about about paid for this device already!UPDATE:My daughter has been dry for months without wearing this anymore. She is so proud of herself, and has improved her self confidence. She went on her first sleepover with school friends with no embarrassment. This would not have been possible without this device. I don't think I have ever bought another item that made me happier... you could probably verify this by my other reviews.* I do feel it is appropriate to note that the 8 varying alarms are not selectable, so it is a different alarm each time, not whichever one you pick. I was concerned that she would sleep through some of them, but she never did.

The alarm box isn't waterproof- go figure! My 10 year old child is a very heavy wetter at night. As in, soaking completely through two disposable nighttime pants and still wetting the bed! We need to stop this bedwetting, so I researched and found that this product seemed to fit our need and others with heavy sleepers had success ultimately, so I took a deep breath and ordered it. It wasn't cheap, and I didn't get any discounts for trying it out, either! My electrician husband took one look at it and thought I should send it back before even trying it because it looked so cheaply made. In fact, he said it looked like a toy that you could buy at the Dollar Tree for $1! I was desperate, though, and we tried it. After the 10th night (all but 1 night he wet, we got up and helped him go to the bathroom the rest of the way and change his pj's and dry blankets), it quit working. He doesn't wear a shirt to bed, so he sets the alarm on the pillow by his head. And sometimes he tosses and turns, and it ends up in the wet blankets when he sits up. I set the non-working alarm aside with the clip closed (contacts touching), and during the day it went off (presumably, it had gotten wet, shorted out, then dried out and started working again). We tried it again for another couple of nights, and it only worked intermittently. Sometimes the alarm would go off, and sometimes not.I emailed the company, and they called me. I was informed that the alarm box isn't waterproof and had been flooded and wasn't covered under warranty because of that! Even if my child had clipped this to a shirt, the sheer volume of urine is enough that it would have gotten wet at least once during this time anyway! I was told by the company that it cannot get any moisture in the alarm box at all. Quite insistently, as a matter of fact. I conveyed my severe irritation to the man from customer service and told him that honestly, I didn't do anything wrong. It simply isn't a good design for a child with heavy wetting issues. So- Malem's solution for me- he offered to issue a refund, which I accepted. He emailed me return info. Guess what? Not only do I have to pay shipping to return this item, they won't refund my card (so that I can look for another product) until they receive the original alarm.I think I'm going to take advantage of Amazon's amazing customer service instead and see if they can give me a refund sooner AND pay for my return shipping, since I wouldn't have ordered this product if I had know that it wasn't waterproof!

This item worked great for the first couple of weeks. Then the alarm/sensor would not turn off consistently. We did read and follow the instructions. By the third week the alarm would not shut off at all which was disturbing to our child. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night with a loud sound and not being able to shut of your device. Even with the cord removed it still continued to alarm. We finally had to take the batteries out. After we dried and cleaned sensors the alarm still would not shut off. Amazon is great and they refunded our money. Like we said earlier, the device worked great for the first couple of weeks and we had great success. We will think about it again before purchasing this device at this price point.

I would give 5 stars except the battery cover never fit tight no matter how many times I tried to adjust it. In about 3 weeks time of regular use it cracked and a chunk fell out of the plastic battery cover. I didn't return it as my child was still using it and didn't to interrupt the therapy. If I'll need this for any of my other children I'll have to tape the plastic eventually.For $90 I excepted more than cheaply molded plastic.I will say in the end the alarm system worked for ending the night wetting and training my child (7yr) to wake when he needed to pee. My child needed both the sound and vibration in order to be woken: sound or vibration alone would not wake him.
