Alarm Base for DRI Sleeper Eclipse

Various attempts to help our 12 year old son stop bedwetting had proved fruitless, and we were getting a bit desperate.He is the classic deep sleeper - sleeping through all kinds of loud sounds and alarms - so I was a bit hesitant to get a "sound only" system. We've had some minimal success to him waking up to alarms set on his smartband that vibrates, so were initially looking for a combo sound/vibration alarm.Part of earlier failures was a lack of commitment on his part because he didn't like having things attached to his clothing, or wires running across his body. This wireless setup was extremely appealing.I narrowed it down to this and another wireless system that was a little cheaper and also had vibration. Decided to go with this one because it seemed higher quality and is manufactured in New Zealand vs. China. To me, that's worth the few extra bucks.We started the night of Jan.28 and it's now Feb. 16. Much to my shock, he woke immediately to the alarm, which is said to be a specific frequency that wakes even the deepest sleeper. The first week it went off once or twice every night. Then there was a night a he woke up for the first time in his 12yrs *just because he had to go to the bathroom*!!It's been 10 nights now since the alarm went off at all. He either stays dry all night, or wakes up to use the toilet part way through. We'll still keep at it for a couple more weeks just to make sure it's solid, but I'm thrilled with this product.It was not a concern for me, but I would definitely recommend getting the dual parent pack (one sensor, two alarm bases) if you're at all concerned you won't hear the alarm going off in your child's room. Also, make sure you watch the demo video on placing the sensor. For reference, we decided to still use his Goodnites. Cut a tiny shallow slit in the upper mesh layer and used a finger to gently separate the upper layer from the absorbant layer below, creating a pocket just large enough for the sensor. We did have to experiment with placement, as the first attempts we were inserting too low and he would urinate a significant amount before it reached the sensor to trigger alarm.This device is compact, easy to use, and effective. If there are any changes, I will update, but as of now I'd say this is a solid, awesome buy!

Our family recently celebrated 14+ days!!! I am beyond thrilled and relieved that my son has finally mastered his nighttime bed wetting and it only took 5 weeks. He is so happy and has had 3 sleepovers already. Thank you DRI Sleeper!!

Let me tell you a little about our situation. My son is 9. He had never had a dry night for more than 2 or 3 days at a time. I thought he would out grow it. Every year at his wellness checkups, the doctor assured me he would. I’m sure he would have outgrown it on his own eventually but when?? I asked his doc the oldest bedwetting case she had personally seen and she said 12. Would that be my son?! He is a deep sleeper and for whatever reason his brain and his bladder were not speaking to each other at night. When he was 8, he expressed how unhappy he was that he couldn’t go on overnight camping trips with friends or have spend the nights. That’s when I decided it was time to be proactive. Because of all the great reviews, I got the DRI Sleeper Eclipse. After doing my research, I found that this was the best on the market. It’s wireless which was good because my kid moves around l a lot at night. Here are my tips:
1) Be committed. Someone has to be a partner with the child to hear the alarm and make sure he gets up and follows the protocol. They can’t do it alone. The alarm is loud (which is good) but I found that using a simple baby alarm PLACED AWAY FROM THE PEE ALARM worked for me to MAKE SURE I heard the alarm and could get up to help him. Don’t put it next to the pee alarm because the two radio waves will interfere and the alarm won’t go off. I also put the pee alarm on his desk away from the bed so that if he hears it before me he doesn’t get up and turn it off himself and go back to bed. You can also get an additional base for the parent’s room (suggestion for those who have not ordered yet) but I needed something ASAP so the baby monitor was my best option.
2) MacGyver the child's underwear so that there is a pocket the alarm can fit in snugly. I sewed the flaps of his tighty-whities making a j-shape and then had him put a pair on top of those. This worked great. I tried the double underwear without the pocket but the alarm shifted too much.
3) know there will be some nights that things don’t go right. A few nights the alarm didn’t go off because we forgot to turn on the alarm, it wasn’t place right, I didn’t hear it, my son got up and turn it off before I heard it. These were very rare hiccups. We were back on track the next night. I started to see a progresstion of success pretty quickly. Within a week he went from the alarm going off 2 times a night to one. Then the one moved from late night (1am) to early morning (4am). The early morning then phased out to completely dry. I used :) stickers on a calendar to track dry nights and mark what time the alarm went off. The handwriting is bad because I was doing this in the dark and was sleepy. The colors of the sticked do not mean anything.

To anyone reading this and deciding to try a pee alarm, for us it has been 100% worth the money because it worked. It’s a miracle!

Very pleased with the product. Accurate and reliable.

After only using the alarm for 3 weeks, the alarm stopped working. We tried replacing the battery thinking maybe that was the issue but nothing we did worked. This was a waste of $150 and definitely not worth the price!

This alarm has worked so well. During the first 12 days my child went from wetting the bed x 3 a night, not waking to the alarm, to waking up to the alarm to then waking himself up and on night 12 he had a dry night. We are now 5 weeks into using it and my child hasn't wet the bed for almost two weeks. This is the first time in his life he has had dry nights and he is 9.5 yrs old. Honestly life-changing. Thanks.

Incredible! Really works! In 2 weeks the wee was much less and the frequency of accidents decreased too. After a few weeks dry, we had an accident so we are wearing it for a bit longer. The alarm is small enough not to bother him inside underwear. He is a deeper sleeper so the sound is loud enough to wake him up. The tip to do the training before bed is importing and we still do it once every night and it is working for us.

I’m still waiting for a refund or information on when you’re going to send me a new 1 as it’s not pairing and doesn’t work

The alarm goes off pretty easily so we’ve had to put padding around it. It’s frustrating to have it go off in the middle of the night when my child hasn’t wet the bed. It’s been 6 weeks and we haven’t noticed any results yet. We’ll keep persisting. We used a wee alarm mat for our older child and it worked well.

The on/off switch is too stiff, too small, and too sharp for my child to turn off and on again.
The alarm doesn't wake my child, though he is a heavy sleeper.
Could not recommend

It's an actual waste of time

My 9-year-old has been using the alarm, and there have been multiple nights where the alarm didn’t go off while he wet himself. We checked and replaced the battery, but there was no difference. Sometimes it rings, and other times it doesn’t.

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.

We have used it according to instructions and it does not set off an alarm in the middle of the night when my child wets themselves. I wish I had of listened to the poor reviews and saved my time and money,

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!

We bought this for our 5yr old daughter, she was struggling with waking up for the toilet.
We bought the DRI Sleeper Eclipse Wireless (albeit very sceptical) hoping this would work.
After 28 days (first 14 days she had accidents/ Second 14 days were dry) she was no longer wetting the bed. She has now been dry all night for 1 month.
Still don’t know how this magic machine worked but so glad we finally took the plunge and bought it as the price did put us off to start.

It is not loud enough to wake my child

DRI Sleeper Eclipse Wireless Bedwetting Alarm

I don't believe this will work for my 6 year old son. He has never had a dry night and he is a very deep sleeper. I was hoping the alarm would help, but by the time the alarm went off, I reached his room and woke him up (about 7 seconds), he had already finished peeing. We would still go to the toilet but he had nothing left. The alarm itself seems well made. I had high hopes and I am definitely disappointed, but it will happen in his own time, I suppose.
