WHICH BEDWETTING ALARM DO I CHOOSE?

WHICH BEDWETTING ALARM DO I CHOOSE?

Clinical data suggest that bedwetting alarms have a high treatment success rate of 80% compared to behavioural therapy and medication which is incredible!

So, when you decide that you want to buy a bedwetting alarm, how do you choose what to buy. There are many bedwetting alarms on the market with different outfits and features but in principal, the bedwetting alarms work by setting off an alarm when they detect moisture.  And by using the bedwetting alarm it teaches the children to become aware when their bladder is full and to wake up and use the toilet. Using a bedwetting alarm requires a sustained effort over many weeks (perhaps as long as two to three months) and it is not an option that works well with a casual approach.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALARMS

  1. Personal alarm with a small sensor used close to the body and linked to an alarm unit worn on the body
  2. A sensor that you clip on to the underwear and via a wire, or wireless, connects with a receiver/alarm unit that you place on the bed stand
  3. Sensor underwear that connects with a receiver/alarm unit that you place on the bed stand
  4. Bell and pad alarm which involves placing a mat over the bottom sheet that is covered with a small draw sheet. This is connected to an alarm box placed at the foot of the bed.

With the Pjama Bedwetting Treatment Systems you can maintain the treatment in a discreet way by setting your phone alarm to vibrate.
