Get A Bed Wetting Alarm – Stay Dry Throughout The Night
Peter Crump
A bed wetting alarm is a very effective device to use when helping
children overcome nocturnal enuresis. Bedwetting is very embarrassing
to children and if not handled sensitively, it can have psychological
effects, such as making them feel ashamed of fearful. Alarms for bed
wetting help to treat the problem rather than just mask the symptoms to
make it appear as if the bed-wetting problem has been resolved. A bed
wetting alarm is a device to be used along with another method of
treatment. Parents should be aware that this device on its own will not
cure bed wetting.
A bedwetting alarm is a moisture detection system, which is worn with
underpants designed for moisture. These can be the pull-ups as
advertised on TV for children of all ages or regular underpants. If you
use regular underpants with the bed wetting alarm, you should have
liners on the mattress because it does take some time before these
alarms start to work. You should not expect a miracle to occur the very
first night your child wears the bedwetting alarm. There are many
different kinds of bedwetting alarms so it’s important to choose the
one that is right for your child.
There are signs that will tell you if a bed wetting alarm will be good
for you. First and foremost is the price. This must fit within your
budget and of course it must be comfortable for the child. Most of the
bedwetting alarms have some method of attaching them to the
nightclothes, preferably the underpants. You should carefully inspect
it to make sure that there are no sharp edges which will dig into the
child and prevent him/her from getting a good night’s sleep. If the
bedwetting alarm is not comfortable, it will not be effective.
Bedwetting alarms use batteries as power, so there won’t be any wires
in which your child can become entangled. You do need to make sure that
the replacement batteries are a reasonable price and keep a stock of
them on hand. Once the sensor on the bed wetting alarm does detect
moisture it will emit a sound to wake the child. You do have to
experiment with the sound to make sure that it will wake the child
without waking up anyone else in the house, if that is what you want.
Once the alarm goes off and the child gets up to the bathroom, a
bedwetting alarm needs to be reset. Therefore you will probably have to
teach the child to reset this or tell him/her to wake you so that you
can do it for him/her.
Another factor you have to take into consideration when using a bed
wetting alarm is the level of moisture that you want it to detect. If
you set it too low, even sweating during the night might set the alarm
off and if you set it too high, then the child might have actually wet
the bed before it goes off. You need a bedwetting alarm that will not
slip out of place as your child tosses and turns during the night.
Bedwetting alarms also have to be durable so that if the child drops
them, they do not break easily. A bed wetting alarm must be loud enough
to wake the child or it will not be effective.
