New!! Dual Alarms for Child and Parents Rooms

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

My son is a very sound sleeper and I’m afraid that he won’t hear any alarm on his own. I’ve read enough to know that I’ll have to help him, especially in the beginning. My concern is that I won’t be able to hear his bedwetting alarm. His room is at the other end of the house. What alarm is the best choice for my situation?

You’re not alone with this situation. Other parents also report that they sleep soundly, with their door closed or a distance from their child. We’re happy to have a NEW solution. The Malem Wireless Alarm System is now available with two receivers, one for your son’s room and one for your room.

Once the sensor, which is fastened to his underwear, detects moisture, it transmits wirelessly to both receivers (up to 50 feet). Both are programmed to receive the same frequency. You can turn your receiver off while getting out of bed to make sure your son is waking up and walking to the bathroom. It is important that one of the receivers be in your son’s room. He has to begin to make the association that the sound happens when his bladder is full and he needs to get up to use the bathroom. This is sometimes a subconscious response. Once he no longer needs your help, you can stop turning the second receiver on. It’s important to turn the receivers off when you’re not using them to preserve the battery life.

The Rodger wireless alarm can also be ordered with two receivers, one for the child’s room and one for the parent’s room. This alarm comes with two pair of specialized briefs, with built in moisture sensors. The two receivers use the same frequency so both sound at the same time and can transmit up to 50 feet. When the wetness is detected on the special underwear, both the parent and child are alerted.

Other solutions are to use a baby monitor in your child’s room or to temporarily have your son sleep closer to your room. As you begin to see his response to his bedwetting alarm, you can decide when to move him back to his own room.

New Rodger 8 Tones

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I’m excited to announce a new product—The Rodger 8 Tone Wireless Bedwetting Alarm. We have been carrying the Rodger Wireless Alarm for a few years and many families have found this alarm to be a great option for them. The new alarm offers the advantage of being able to choose a specific sound as the alert or to let the alarm rotate through 8 sounds. The programmed sounds vary from sounding like a fire alarm to robotic sequences. All are annoying—which is what you want. The brain doesn’t like to hear annoying sounds so is more likely to be alerted so that the sound can be stopped. The receiver that makes the sound is plugged into the wall so that your child has to get out of bed and walk over to turn it off.

This alarm comes with 2 pair of specialized underwear that have the sensor built into them. There are no cords or anything that has to be attached to the shoulder. I have found this alarm to be especially useful in older boys who prefer not to wear a shirt to bed or in children who do not feel comfortable with anything positioned on their shoulder. Extra underwear can be bought separately if you have trouble getting the laundry done frequently.

This alarm offers another choice for kids who would like the option of picking their own tone to wake up to. Just as we all have ring tone preferences for our phones, this alarm allows you to choose your own sound.

Bedwetting Pad

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

I recently talked to a parent who recalls using “a horrible big metal pad” as a treatment for bedwetting when she was a child. Although it did work to help her achieve dryness, she was reluctant to subject her 8 year old child to something that would create similar memories. She asked, “Have there really been changes to bedwetting pads over the past 30 years?”

I can enthusiastically answer, “Yes, there have been many positive changes in the mechanics and styles of bedwetting alarms over the last few years”. First, wearable alarms are more popular now. Rather than using a pad that the child lies on, a small sensor that attaches to the underwear senses moisture. The advantage of this style of alarm is that it moves as your child rolls around in the night. The older pad style alarms only work if the child is lying on it when the wetting occurs.

Another advance comes with wireless technology. With a wireless bedwetting alarm, such as the Rodger Wireless or Malem wireless, no cords or wires are necessary. Once the transmitter detects wetness, it transmits to the sound unit, which can be across the room or on a bedside table.

The sounds that the alarms make are kid friendly and resemble sounds that their toys make. Multiple color choices and sound selections enable kids to pick something that they like. They can think of their bedwetting alarm as a comfortable bedwetting treatment that helps them get to dryness.
