Bedwetting Alarms

Bedwetting alarms are a great way to teach your older child not to wet the bed. A bed wetting alarm will help your child learn when he needs to go, and eventually how to wake up before he has an accident. But how do bedwetting alarms work, and what should you look for when choosing a bed wetting alarm?

Bed wetting alarms alert your child when he has wet the bed. The Malem bed wetting alarm, for example, has a clip that the child can attach to their underwear. When the underwear become wet, the alarm emits a sound and vibrates. The parents are alerted and are able to wake the child and take the child to the bathroom. What happens is that the child eventually learns to wake up to the alarms. Bed wetting eventually ceases as the child learns to wake up when his body signals that he needs to use the bathroom, rather than awakening by the bed wetting alarm clock.

In the same way that many of us wake up just a few moments before our alarm, bet wetting alarms allow the child to learn to recognize his own bodily signals that he needs to use the restroom. When purchasing an alarm device for bed wetting, look for one, like the Malem ultimate bed wetting alarm that offers both sound and vibration in the alarm. Remember that children are heavy sleepers, and often do not hear an alarm like an adult would. In these cases, the bed wetting, or enuresis, alarm is better able to alert the parents, allowing them to awaken the child and tend to his needs.

Another consideration when choosing a bed wetting alarm for your child is your child’s sleep habits. Does your child spend much of the night tossing and turning? If so, you may want to consider a wireless alarm. These consist of special bed wetting and alarm underwear that have the alarm device built right in. The child does not have to have any wires attached to his bed in order to be connected to the alarm. The DryNite bed wetting alarm is an example of a wireless alarm. These are battery operated, rather than controlled by an electrical cord.

Whether you choose a DryNite or Malem bedwetting alarm, if your child is having difficulties with bed wetting, take the initiative and buy a bed wetting alarm. You will find that your child appreciates the independence he will have when he learns how to sleep without wetting the bed! Bedwetting alarms are the answer to your child’s bedwetting embarrassment.
