My 7-year-old son had been very dependent on nappies at night because he could not reliably control bedwetting. We started using the DRI Sleeper Excel Bedwetting Alarm, and after about three weeks of use, the alarm stopped being triggered. He has now gone another week without needing the alarm, so I feel quite confident that it has helped him improve.
The alarm worked well and gave us a clear sign that the training was starting to work. It has made a real difference for our family.
The only small issue I had was during the initial battery installation. I installed the battery the way I normally would, assuming the spring side was the negative terminal, but the alarm did not respond. I thought it might be faulty at first. After reopening it and checking again, I realised that the spring side was actually the positive terminal. Once the battery was installed correctly, it worked properly.
Overall, I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to other parents dealing with bedwetting.
Initially, had a problem with sensor but Service received in response to our query was excellent. The matter was resolved without delay. Can’t fault the help. The alarm does exactly what it says on the box. First class product.
We purchased this after a recommendation from the doctor to be help my 8 year old who was still using nappies. After just two weeks she's learnt to stay dry each night. Absolutely brilliant. Wish more mum's would share stories in the playground. I'll be talking about it to others to let them know it's not that uncommon.
Best purchase ever! My daughter was dry after one week. I stopped using the alarm after two weeks of her being dry so she was completely done with it by the end of week three! Medical professionals should be recommending this rather than medicating children. 100% worth the money .
We have struggled for years with various techniques try to get our child to be dry throughout the night and failed miserably.
We have used this alarm for over a month and we are consistently seeing dry nights, it took a few nights to get to grips with it as said child is a very heavy sleeper but they got used to it and to start with was waking up a few times in the night with the alarm going off, to which they got up and used the toilet, we are now at the stage where we have only had one or two minimal accidents in the last 3 weeks. We have found it to be very sensitive and occasionally goes off if the tiniest bit of moisture gets on it so you have to make sure everything is very dry, we are using it between 2 pairs of underwear.
My 7 year old has been using the alarm for one month now. After being wet every night he has just had 6 nights in the last week dry and the one night he wasn’t was a tiny drop in his pants and was woken by the alarm. It took two weeks until we started seeing dry nights and significantly smaller wet patches. It does take effort from child and parents as at first being woken by that alarm was a shock and it was hard to get back to sleep but I’d urge anyone to push past 2-3 weeks (maybe in a school holiday). Alarm has worked well for us and stayed in place between 2 underpants. We chose to put a pull up over the pants to catch any larger wet patches to save bedding etc. Very pleased parents and most importantly child!
An excellent product. Our son was dry at night after 5 days! Highly recommended.
My daughter was almost dry but was still having one accident overnight.
The alarm took about 3 weeks to work it’d magic and she has been completely night trained since using it. Very happy with the product.
After months of trying on and off to get my 6 year old dry at night this worked within a matter of days. Really didn’t think it would be that effective but it really was for us! Be warned the alarm is extremely loud and was a bit upsetting for my son initially so probably wouldn’t recommend for sensitive children or kids who are much younger.
I put off buying this as it seemed like a lot of money however it was worth it!
Something just clicked with our 8 year old and after 40 days she is now dry over night.
The secret is that your child wants to be dry. I bought “Always daily fresh normal liners” & made a pocket for the alarm which worked perfectly. Good Luck!
