ChummieElite Bedwetting Alarm for Children and Deep Sleepers - Award Winning Bedwetting Alarm System with Loud Sounds and Strong Vibrations, Green

This did exactly what it was intended to do! My 8 year old daughter, who has never been dry at night, only had to wear it for 1 month until she was completely dry at night! HOWEVER: if you buy it for a girl, be prepared to modify her underwear. The tape will not secure the sensor well enough and will aggravate the legs. Wearing a pull-up with underwear caused her to sweat too much and the alarm would go off (we live in southern Utah). I had to sew a pocket to the outside of her underwear and add a snap so the sensor would not fall out ---she is a very restless sleeper. After I did that, it worked perfectly and I could not be happier with the product and results!

We purchased this for our very deep sleeper. He was 4 years old and was done wetting the bed in 6 weeks total, but I'd say he was getting the hang of it after only 2 weeks.Here are the steps we took for successful training1. We purchased the orange arm band to hold the device instead of clipped to pajamas. Our son didn't like it on his arm, so we out it on his ankle, which was much more comfortable.2. We put a piece of velcro to the back of the sensor and instead of taping it to his underwear, we put a pull up on him over his underwear, and the velcro stuck to the inside of the diaper perfectly. This also made cleanup after an accident super simple, because we didn't have to change bedding, just his underwear and a new diaper.3. My son was a very very deep sleeper, so he slept right through the alarm,both the vibrating & the audible alarm. But it was still incredibly valuable, because it allowed me to KNOW when he was peeing and keep track of when, so I could quickly see a pattern.4. I would set an alarm to wake myself up and have him go potty about 30 min before the pattern of when the alarm was going off. After reading the book "oh crap, potty training" I used her advice to not wake the child, and basically pick up your floppy, sleeping kid, and plop them on the potty chair and have him go potty while sleeping. I remember thinking to myself "how is this teaching him to go potty when he's sleeping through it?" but what it was doing was training his body to let the potty out in the potty chair and overtime it trained his body to wake him up.5. The first few nights the alarm went off about 5-6 times but after about 2 days I noticed more of a pattern and could get him on the potty before it alarmed,.so it was down to 2-3 times a night rather quickly. Then for a week I was having him go potty before I went to bed and then one more time at about 2am.6. Pretty quickly he was starting to actually wake up either to me getting him to go, or to the alarm and going on his own.7. We kept the alarm on him for several weeks after he was getting it for just in case, and finally we just stopped because he was getting up and going all on his own.

(6yr old boy; no dry nights ever)This is the first alarm we tried. We did not want to use medicine for the bedwetting so our doctor suggested using an alarm. After looking at different reviews the Chummie brand looked like the best.We went with this alarm (Elite) because my son (6yr) does not have trouble waking up with his morning alarm (has not gotten use to the sound/pattern) so we figured he wouldn't have trouble waking up to this one as well.He has been using it for a month now and I am amazed at what a difference it has made!First off the alarm is small with a good tight fitting clasp you can attach to the back to clip onto a shirt but my little guy moves around SO much that it was coming off every night and would unplug. Once it took forever to find because it was stuffed in his pillow case!! Crazy kid! haha! We ordered the armband and that fixed the problem (we did have to use velcro to attach it to the armband because it would still fall out sometimes).The alarm is loud and I can hear it a few rooms away (I'm a light sleeper). I though it would wake the 3yr old (next room over) but as of yet we have had no problems. I was having to get him up every time at first but now most of the time he is at least awake if not up by the time I get in there.The sensor is super sensitive! Really, one drop sets it off. I did go out a get more underwear for him because we have to use two pair each time. The first pair has the sensor attached to the outside of it and the second pair goes over that to keep the sensor in place. (Did I mention my guy moves around like there is a freaking earthquake or something!). The first few weeks we were changing his underwear up to three times (6 pairs of undies!!), just be prepared! We bought a second sensor but not sure if it was necessary really. It was nice to have it for a quick change but you can dry it off really good and use it again. Three weeks in and we were not even using the second one.It took a few days to get the hang of everything but we had our first dry night on the 7th night! My guy has not had a dry night EVER so everyone was super happy!!The next two weeks we only had a few more dry nights (we bought washable bedwetting pads to go over top of the sheets so we were able to get back to sleep quicker) but by the 4th week he was staying dry all but one night!He has even had a few nights now were he as woken up before the alarm! We are going to wait the full 14 days of dry nights before trying without the alarm but I'm betting by another month he will be off of it!So wish we would have tried this product sooner!!

I have had a few bed wetting alarms over the past couple of years. All apart from one failed miserably. I achieved good results with a bed wetting mat but beware, the urine degrades the circuits and the performance of the mat deteriorates quickly. So my daughter has had a relapse which is not uncommon and I chose Chummie.It was sceptical about using a wired alarm. But taking everything into account this is an excellent product.Advantages:The one drop detection really works. The alarm sounds the second a drop is detected. Most nights no urine reached the bed, and if so it was just a very small patch so I didn't have to change the sheets till morning.The pad does not degrade. So if your child has a relapse you can use it again.The alarm is loud and the sound (and vibration) really irritated my daughter and apparently it changes randomly which she hated even more. The bottom line is it made her get out of bed!DisadvantagesPositioning the pad on your child's underwear can be a little tricky to start with. On a girl don't place it too high. I mastered it after a couple of nights.The Chummie tape on its own will not hold the pad in place. I used it in combination with surgical tape. The loose wire will also need to be secured. I used the surgical tape to tape the wire in two places to my daughter's tummy. Without these measures the pad is likely to dislodge in my experience. Luckily surgical tape is inexpensive.My daughter started to have dry nights after a week and a half and I am very pleased. As long as you are prepared to help your child to detach and reattach the device at night, this is an excellent choice and value for money.

Heard about these type of alarms from a friend who got one for her 8 year old boy. Hers was wireless and over £100. Was going to borrow hers but it had corroded so needed to buy one. Couldn't afford wireless but saw this in the mid price range. Better than clip sensors on underwear as it's a flat and bendy sensor but unfortunately not wireless. I was worried as I heard some bad things about false claims and broken wires, but I have had no problem. 5 year old girl liked she could pick colour as she was reluctant to wear one. Well first night she didn't wake up, we had to wake her, then went off again that night but she did wake. She woke every time after and it went down to only once a night straight from night 2. After a few nights she was dry all night. Something she has never done, her pull up is normally as heavy as a brick in the morning. Then it was on and off some nights she woke a bit wet (but still an improvement) others nights she was dry. Some of the dry nights she slept through and some she woke up for a wee without alarm going off. After about 3 weeks she has now had about 7 nights continuously dry (again sometimes sleeping through and sometimes getting up herself for a wee). She has even been ill in this time and not had accidents, she just woke for wee more. So hopefully she will be still dry in another weeks time and she can then stop using it (as it says to wait for 14 consecutive dry nights to stop use). This is when we go on holiday so she is looking forward to being dry for our Easter hol. So basically only took about a month, if she carries on. Would definitely recommend. Stacey
