Rodger Wireless
Bedwetting AlarmRead Why
Rodger Wireless
Bedwetting AlarmThis alarm requires the fewest steps when getting ready for bed; simply put on the special underwear, snap the transmitter in place and make sure the receiver is turned on. There are no worries about sensor placement or choosing the right underwear. The special underwear detects urine quickly, no matter what the position is when the wetting occurs. The receiver is plugged into a wall outlet and can remain there. The user must get out of bed to turn off the receiver once it sounds (8 pre-recorded tones). An additional receiver for parent’s room can be ordered, which is helpful if the rooms are far apart. A vibratory cushion can be ordered to shake the top of the bed when wetting occurs. Two pair of washable underwear (blue or white) are included with the alarm and others can be purchased separately. Unless you get laundry done on a daily basis, ordering a few extra pairs of briefs is helpful, especially in the early learning phase This alarm is ideal for those with intermittent wetting. The underwear is so easy to put on each night, it is sure to be there on the nights you wet and need to be alerted.

Malem Ultimate
Bedwetting AlarmRead Why
Malem Ultimate
Bedwetting AlarmThis alarm has both sound and a strong vibration. The compact alarm fastens to the shoulder of the shirt so it is always close to the ear, even with nighttime movement. This is our most popular alarm and uses a set of long lasting AAA batteries. The unique easy clip sensor (in all Malem alarms) securely attaches to the outside of your own cloth briefs, without a chance of it accidentally pulling off. Wearing close fitting underwear, not boxers, is best. This alarm allows the choice of 8 various sounds so you can pick the one that alerts you best or is similar to your phone ring tone. This alarm is loud enough for the parents to respond to initially so the user can be assisted to the bathroom. You have the option of choosing either sound or vibration but it is best to begin with both.
