Therapee

I really don't want to give this a 5-star review because I hated getting up in the middle of the night but IT WORKS!! When I potty trained my twins at the age of almost 3, they both stayed dry at night for 2-3 months.

I debated putting them in underwear at night but I didn't. Long story short, one of them reverted to wetting the bed and we couldn't figure out why. We blamed him for being lazy because he would tell us that he didn't feel like getting up in the middle of the night so he would *** in the bed on purpose. We don't know if that was true or not but we tried everything: night lights, waking him up ourselves, loss of privileges, etc.

Nothing worked. The wetting got worse. There was SO SO SO SO SO much *** I finally put him in nighttime underwear for big boys (the really absorbent ones) and he was still peeing out of them every single night. I was out of my mind and was desperate for a solution.

My husband found this bedwetting system and I figured it was worth a shot because the problem was getting worse as the days wore on. I hated it. The alarm went off 3 times a night for the first week, then 2 times a night for awhile after that. The exercises during the day were so difficult to manage sometimes but we stuck with it.

We finally got down to one alarm per night and even though I felt like this was never going to work, one night the alarm just never went off. It actually never went off again. He is turning 4 1/2 this week and has been dry for just over 2 months. We even went on a family vacation and had no problems in the hotel or on the plane.

He took naps in the rental car and woke up dry too. I am so happy I put the work in because we got the results we wanted. Our family is much happier too. His sisters don't resent him for making mommy angry in the morning and he is proud of himself.

On a side note, we did have problems here and there with the system. Once or twice (maybe more) we forgot to turn the alarm on. Also, my son moved so much during the night that the pad would be at the end of his bed instead of underneath him sometimes. This meant that he peed the bed but didn't set off the alarm.

Although this was annoying, I found that it actually provided a little bit of relief (and much needed sleep) from getting up multiple times per night. I worried that we wouldn't get good results when these things happened but we did. In the end, I would do it all over again! To make it more manageable, I started using sanitizing wipes to clean the pad.

When the alarm went off, I would wipe it with a sanitizing wipe. The alcohol evaporated immediately so I could put a sheet on asap, hook up the alarm again, and go back to bed quickly.

I'm sure it's not recommended but I never washed the pad with soap and water after I started doing that and it helped save my sanity. Everything worked fine and we still got the results we wanted and needed.
