Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm

    SOUND AND VIBRATION IN ONE ALARM! Everything you need, now in one compact alarm. The Malem ULTIMATE combines light, sound and vibration to help even the deepest sleeper wake. A selectable combination of sound and vibration suits the needs of the child. A selection switch can be easily set to sound only, sound and vibration, or vibration only.

    Compact and lightweight (less than two ounces including two AAA batteries) with all the advanced features and advantages of the world famous Malem alarms. In addition to vibration, the different alarms provide one tone (purple, blue, pink), 8 random tones (gold) to prevent "auditory accommodation", or the newest Selectable model (magenta, royal blue, camouflage) that provides a choice of single sounds or 8 random sounds.

    The alarm is connected to a small clip-on sensor which detects moisture and anchors to the outside of any close fitting underwear for boys or girls. No sewing to hassle with or metal clips or snaps to come undone during the night. No mini-pads to buy and attach each night! Sensor contacts are within the clip so skin contact or sweating will not trigger the alarm. The alarm sounds continuously until the sensor is removed, allowing you or your child sufficient time to effectively respond to the alarm.

    Included with every alarm are instructions for use, charts to track progress and batteries. The ULTIMATE alarm uses inexpensive AAA batteries that last up to 10 times longer than standard "button" batteries found in nearly all other bedwetting alarms.

    Comments from the Bedwetting Store

    Dry Matters App

    This is our best combination sound/vibration alarm. It is slightly larger than the regular Malem alarm and the vibration is similar to a pager. If you are considering purchasing a similar "potty alarm", this is the alarm for you. It has BOTH sound and vibration. Remember, most children need help during the first few days or weeks to awaken when they wet. An auditory alarm is necessary for you to help them.

    Parents often ask about a single tone verse a multiple tone alarm. No research has been conducted to determine if one tone is more effective than another. This is a personal preference.

    Pure behaviorists would recommend a single tone alarm. The one tone Malem alarms (blue, purple, pink) sound the same each time they sound. (Note that each color is a little different sounding.) Click on the icon to hear the various sounds and pick what you like best! If you're working with more than one child at a time, select different tones so you will know who needs your help.

    Some families have found that their child seems to tune out sounds quickly. For this situation, a random 8-tone alarm would be beneficial. The gold alarm has 8 tones and is always random (you cannot choose to select only one). The three selectable tone alarms offer you all the options - the ability to choose a single tone or to rotate through 8 tones. The selectable alarm is available in magenta, royal blue or camouflage.

    Questions on Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm

    • From John at 9/8/09
    • Where should I clip the sensor of the Malem alarm?
    • The Easy Clip sensor should be clipped to the outside of the underwear where you think the first drops of moisture will appear. In general, clip the sensor to the front of boys’ underwear, and down lower towards the crotch area for girls.
    • From camilo at 4/13/10
    • What type of underwear is best to use?
    • Cotton underwear is best to use with this alarm. The underwear should be close fitting (no loose boxer shorts) so that the sensor is held close to the body to more quickly detect moisture.
    • From Cyn at 8/17/10
    • Can I use the Malem alarm with pull-ups or other disposable pants?
    • In most cases, you should not use this alarm with disposable pants. The Easy Clip sensor is designed to quickly sense moisture from cloth. Disposables’ absorbent material prevents this sensor from sounding as quickly. The optional Malem Standard Sensor can be inserted into a pull-up and can be purchased as an accessory. However, most families find that this is the right time to transition from disposables to cloth underwear so find the Easy Clip sensor very easy and reliable to use.
    • From Laura at 10/22/10
    • How do I improve the chances that my child will awaken when the alarm sounds?
    • Make sure you place the alarm box high up on the shoulder area of your child’s pajama top so that it is not muffled by blankets and is close to his/her ear. Parental help may be required at the early stages of treatment because most children are deep sleepers. Wake your child and help them to the bathroom when you hear the alarm.
    • From mandcsmith at 1/5/11
    • How long will the alarm sound after it has been activated?
    • The Malem alarm will continue to sound until you or your child turns it off by lifting the sensor lever and pressing the reset button on the alarm box.
    • From Mimi at 7/15/11
    • I have the Malem Ultimate with sound and vibration. How do I change the setting so that the alarm only sounds?
    • To change the sound/vibration setting, open the battery compartment. On the inside of the compartment, there is a switch with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 below it. Moving this selector switch changes from sound/vibration to sound only.
    • From chris at 12/15/11
    • How do I clean my Malem sensor?
    • Disconnect the sensor from your alarm box. Using a small brush, warm water and mild soap, scrub the sensor to remove any urine residue. The sensor should be cleaned 1-2 times a week to insure the proper functioning.
    • From Sarah at 12/29/11
    • Isn’t it uncomfortable to wear a bedwetting alarm to bed?
    • The sensor that attaches to the outside of the underwear is small, less than an inch long. The small alarm unit fastens to the outside of the shirt and the thin cord runs under the shirt. Most children are very sound sleepers and have no trouble sleeping while wearing this alarm.
    • From Robert at 1/5/12
    • Doesn’t the alarm sound too late-after my son is already wet?
    • Everyone starts this way. Behavioral conditioning works by alerting your son when he is wetting so his brain and bladder can begin to make this connection. He will learn to stop his urine flow, have smaller wet spots and have urine left to empty in the toilet.
    • From Adia at 1/12/12
    • Is there any way this alarm could shock or harm my child?
    • No, this small battery operated alarm unit cannot shock your child. Wetness triggers the sound and then there is no further electrical current. The thin sensor cord runs under the shirt, eliminating any possibility of getting entangled.

    • Comments about Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm:
      After years of charts, "dry all night" books, promises of sleepovers, and all the bedwetting pills the pediatrician offered, we were desperate. I did all the research and read all the reviews. I had to have an alarm that would wake my very heavy sleeper (11-year-old). I bought the Malem purple because it wasn't worth the money to invest in a less expensive product that might not wake him up and then have to upgrade.
      The booklet said it could take a few weeks, and it did, but the trend was for him to be drier each week. The brilliant thing was, he was waking himself up and taking care of it for the first time EVER. He NEEDED the combination of vibration, light and sound to wake him up. He's so happy to be in control now and feels a great sense of accomplishment. Finally Scout camp is something to look forward to! Malem is a pricier alarm than some, but for our situation, it was totally worth it. I highly recommend it.
    • bottom line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
