Enuresis is a condition of involuntary urination. This often describes those with the common condition known as "bed wetting". "Deep sleepers" are often unaware of their full bladder. Likewise, they do not feel sensation to pass urine nor are they aware of their wet linens while they continue sleeping. The good news is that you do not have to wait for your child to outgrow bed wetting. Enuresis Alarms continue to be the most effective treatment available. Medications continue to have a high relapse rate. Am alarm is a fantastic method of empowering the bed wetter to take control and become responsible for his/her own treatment and cure.

The DRI-Sleeper Bedwetting Alarm is a rehabilitation device which assists in conditioning the user to awaken upon the onset of a full bladder. This is also known as behavior modification. The Urosensor/FLEXItector Moisture Sensor is put inside a paper liner (from any drugstore), which adheres to the crotch of the child's underwear or training pant to monitor and detect the instant urination begins. (The adhesive backed paper liner is an efficient way of drawing urine to the sensor which will trigger the alarm immediately. It also minimizes sensor movement, helping to keep it in the proper position at the point of contact with the first drop of urine. Also, no uncomfortable plastic clips are necessary when using the paper liner. The liner serves as a barrier between the skin and the sensor which will minimize alarms triggered by normal skin perspiration. A sewn-in fabric pocket will work just as well. Some use a training pant instead of underwear, and simply affix the liner to the crotch. This spares the linens and pajamas, and helps user return to bed more quickly.) The sensor is attached to the audible DRI-Sleeper enuresis alarm device by a cord which is 30" in length which attaches to the shoulder area with a safety pin/velcro tab.  (Some other types attach to the wrist and the sound can be muffled in the bed linens, failing to awaken the user.) At the first sign of moisture from the urine, the DRI-Sleeper bedwetting alarm will sound. This should startle and awaken the user who may then proceed to the bathroom. Repeated and consistent use of the alarm can actually condition the user to awaken BEFORE the first drop of urine is released, allowing plenty of time for a visit to the bathroom. Eventually, the user will awaken on his/her own in the middle of the night, or, even better, resist the urge to go and make it until morning....dry!  This "training" of the mind and body (known as "behavior modification" or "conditioning") is certainly preferable to the known dangers of side effects and the high cost of prescription drugs. Another ineffective method is simply waking the user at some arbitrary time during the night to use the bathroom (which we refer to as "lifting"). This type of waking or the setting of an alarm may keep linens dry, but the body will never learn to signal the mind to awaken on its own at just the right time. For this reason, the wetter may certainly benefit from a bed wetting alarm. The bedwetting alarm will sound only only at that precise moment when the bladder is full and beginning to release. Only then does the user's mind & body begin to "learn" to self awaken. Often, at that moment, muscles tighten and allow user time to proceed to the bathroom to finish voiding in the toilet. Progress may be noted when the user awakens moments before the alarm is triggered...an indication that the conditioning process has begun. Encourage the user of this device to "beat" the sounding of the alarm. You will receive a Tips For Use pamphlet with your order and a FREE Bedwetting Alarm Progress Chart.

This urine monitor device can help children feel a sense of power and control over this condition. The DRI-Sleeper bed wetting alarm is a preferred alternative to pharmaceuticals. Prescription drugs are often used for a special occasion, such as a sleep-over or camping trip. Once the drug is stopped, the bed wetting continues. Therefore, drugs are only temporary solutions. Children who are six years old or older area ideal candidates for a bedwetting alarm treatment program. Keep in mind that prescription medications provide only short term relief. Also, certain drugs require strict supervision of fluid intake to prevent serious side effects. This supervision may not be possible during school hours or when the user is away from home, at summer camp, for example.

Please discuss possible side effects and dangers with a physician.
