It's a Miracle! 
2007-04-27
We purchased this alarm after my 5 1/2yo son became upset that his younger sister was dry at night. So even though his pediatrician told us not to worry about it until he was 6, we felt he was motivated enough now. The product itself is really easy to use and functioned exactly as it was supposed to. My son never complained about it being uncomfortable and was actually excited to use it. The alarm is really loud and woke up my son and myself. This caused me to be tired for a couple of weeks since I had to wake up from a dead sleep and run to his room to turn the sound off before it woke up my other 2 children. This was the case for about a week. After this the frequency of wetting started to decrease as well as the amount of wetness. We used underwear underneath a pull-up so we didn't have to change the sheets. Pretty soon he was getting up on his own in the middle of the night to use the restroom. He accomplished this in 6 weeks. He has not had even 1 accident. This product really works. The waterproof bed pads that came with the starter package are really great as well. They are a lot softer, thicker and wider than the ones I purchased from one step ahead.
I would definitely recommend this alarm for kids who are highly motivated. I believe the motivation factor made the whole process go faster and smoother with a lot of cooperation and in the end a very happy child. It has helped his self esteem immensely.
Problem Solved! 2006-11-12
I was not overly optimistic when choosing a bedwetting alarm, unsure of what results to expect. Much to my surprise, the alarm worked quickly and efficiently.
My daughter had wet the bed every single night for 5 years. Although our doctor recommended most children to be at least 6 years old, we thought she was ready. My daughter began to wet less each night within the first week, and was dry on a regular basis in just a month. The alarm was loud and effective. My daughter was on the top bunk, so it took a while to get her down, but we followed the directions and didn't even wake her younger sister.
Although other comments complain that the price is high, we have more then made out ahead since we no longer have to buy pull-ups.
I give this product 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who is serious and dedicated to teaching thier own child to stop wetting the bed.
We have had dry beds for 9 months and counting!!!
Worked with both of my kids

I highly recommend using a bedwetting alarm, to help your children acheive having dry nights faster.
Both of my kids had a hard time staying dry through the night. I tried waking them up to use the bathroom, and that didn't help a whole lot.
Luckily, I learned about the Malem alarm and it worked like a charm, and now they're both able to sleep through the night without having any accidents.
I do think this is way over priced, which is why I docked a star from the rating.
The good/bad thing is the alarm is VERY, VERY loud! Even though my room's down the hall, I was jolted out of bed every time it went off. Which was a good thing, since it allowed me to get to them, walk them to the bathroom, then reset the alarm again.
The only other drawback was the alarm was sometimes difficult to turn off, especially when you're still half asleep and you're fumbling around with it. So many times, my poor kids would be plugging their ears (the speaker pins onto their shirt, near their collar) as I frantically tried turning the blasted alarm off.
But, for the most part, I was very satisfied with this product and now my kids are 4 and 7 and neither of them have had a wet night in well over a year.
Malem Ultimate Bedwetting Alarm 2008-07-18
This alarm really does the job! My nearly 7 year old still wet the bed almost every night and had to wear pull-ups. I was hoping she would eventually outgrow bed wetting but she was only outgrowing her pull-ups.
We purchased this alarm based on other customer reviews. Hubby and I followed the detailed instructions which came with the alarm to a T. She still wet the bed for a few nights but every time she did the alarm blasted a intermittent pitch which even she, the heaviest sleeper I've ever met, could not sleep through. It scared her because she didn't like the loud sound. But that was exactly what has done the trick. She still wet the bed off and on for the 1st two weeks but has been dry every night now for almost a month. She's still using it but we're planning to stop it soon and give her a trial run without it.
What I think happened is that her brain is now programmed to fear the alarm and no longer gives the signal to her full bladder to release. Instead, she holds her pee all night and pees in the morning. She doesn't get up during the night to go but that's o.k. She is doing very well and we reward her for every 2 weeks she remains dry. And the alarm came with a chart which allows her to actively participate by checking off the nights dry, and if the nights were not dry, how wet the wet nights were. She looks forward to checking off another dry night!
I feel this is a really good product, although rather expensive. I don't see why it costs so much but it works just like it's advertising says it does.

This alarm made a huge difference at first for my 7 year old. From wet sheets to small wet patches in the underwear in about 5 days. Unfortunately, four months later we are still fighting with the small patches, and now the "Easy-clip" has broken. I was watching my son undo it (I currently sleep in a bed next to his to help him wake up quickly to the alarm) and he was not being rough, or doing anything strange. Unfortunately, the clip is not warranteed by the manufacturer. The Bedwetting Store warrantees them for three months which is nice, but won't help us. So you might want to factor in an extra $27 for having another clip sent to you in the middle of training, or pick another manufacturer. Palco Labs has a Wet-Stop2 that looks very similar, but I haven't tried it.
Best Purchase EVER!!! 2008-03-15
We should have done this a LONG time ago. My nearly 7-year-old daughter had wet the bed every night all her life. When she was 5, she still wore pull-ups, while her 3-year-old sister was dry every night. It started having an emotional impact on her, and she became withdrawn and lost a good deal of confidence. We tried EVERYTHING to help her. By the time she was 6, we just let her go, thinking she'd outgrow it. She didn't. When her pediatrician suggested medication, we knew it was time to find some alternatives. That's when we discovered alarms. We did all our research, and decided on Malem. Then we put it off for 4 months...
In January, my daughter started asking us to help her get out of the pull-ups. I knew we had to do something so we purchased this alarm off Amazon. When it came, we went over all the materials and set some goals. She wanted to be completely dry by her 7th birthday in 10 weeks.
The first 2 weeks were hard. The alarm actually did wake her up, but it also woke up the entire family. We had many ups and downs, but she had her first completely dry night after 4 days of using the alarm. After the first 2 weeks, she had an occasional accident here and there, but was mostly dry. After 7 weeks, she was completely dry. She hasn't had an accident since. We just celebrated her 7th birthday, and she's like a new kid! She's confident and happy, and asking to have a sleepover! Something she NEVER would have done wearing pull-ups.
You have to be persistent and chart your progress, but this alarm really does work. We are so thrilled with it, we're passing it down to her younger cousin with enuresis. DON'T PUT IT OFF LIKE WE DID! :)
Amazing Results 2007-12-18
This thing is amazing. We got this for our 7 year old daughter who has been a bedwetter since birth. She is our oldest child; I have a 6 year old and 3 year old both of whom never had a problem. We had spoken with the docs, I did research, etc. Most options were costly, involved medication and patience. While we were ok to wait this out and she rarely complained about it, after reading the reviews, I thought why not. This has been the best $100 I have EVER spent. Today starts our 5th week of use. We have been dry for 11 nights in a row!!!We never had one night in a row. In 28 nights, we were dry 15; only 1 night did the alarm not wake her up. I had her sleep in panties which I attached the alarm to and then she wore a pullup over that; this just worked for us. I slept with her to make sure she would wake up and get to the restroom. You have to try this; she is so excited to apparently be on her way to being done with this. The past 2 nights she has gone without the diaper and she could barely contain herself on the first night I told her to go without it! It is just amazing to see the transformation. I was skeptical of this but figured it couldn't hurt. This is a great investment; had I known we would have such success so quickly I would have paid 10 times the price just to see her excitement. My only regret was not doing this like 4-5 years ago. If your child has this problem, please try this. I hope this review helps. The reviews I read here are what made me give this a try so please check them all out. Yes, it requires commitment from the whole family but what is a little lost sleep in the big picture if you can resolve this.
Easy to use 2007-07-27
This alarm is easy to use and works reliably when wetness is sensed if clipped in just the right spot. The vibration in addition to the sound alarm helps to wake up even heavy sleepers.
