One of the things people don’t tell you when you’re potty training your kids is that when you’re “done”, you’re not necessarily “done”. One of my older sons still has issues from time to time with staying dry at night. There is nothing medically wrong- we were to sure to rule that out. The problem is, the boy goes and goes and goes, until he crashes and crashes hard. He’s exhausted and a full bladder isn’t enough to get him up in the middle of the night.
When the product arrived, I went through the book and learned that it is not at all uncommon for older kids to have issues staying dry. In fact, these alarms are recommended for kids 5+. When I discussed the alarm with my son, he was a bit reluctant, but he was willing to give it a shot if it meant he didn’t have to worry about the accidents anymore.
The way it works is pretty simple. There’s a moisture sensitive clip that goes onto his briefs. The wire goes under the shirt, and attaches to the alarm, which clips to the shoulder. When the clip senses moisture, it sounds the alarm, which has 2 different settings. You can choose to have an audible alarm, which sounds like a game of battleship (which, btw, my sons thought was awesome) or you can have it vibrate or both. This vibrating alarm is especially helpful if you have a child who would be fearful of the sounds. The book explains how to most effectively use the alarm. The alarm comes with a very useful chart to keep track of your success.
