My son wears pullups. I am assuming that this will only work with underwear? If so, does he soak the bed every night until trained?

Yes, you should stop the pullup use (we did). Mostly because you want him to get used to the sensation of getting soaked and then responding to the alarm when it goes off. He may soak the bed every night until his body is trained. It depends on how fast it takes. We got a few large waterproof pads to place on top of the sheets to we could quickly replace it. You'll need to wake him up for a while if he's a deep sleeper (a baby monitor helps with that if your room is far). Hope this helps.

My son was wearing depends, he had to wear underwear. First few nights are pretty wet so be prepared for it! My son still leaks a bit but its not as much and has so many dry nights for the first time in 14 years! It is worth the changing the bedding often... I promise!!!! Just click it on underwear and unit on shirt or side of pillow and it will wake them.

I agree with the two other responses to your question. In addition, I know it may seem overwhelming to put him in underwear but it is soooooo worth it. Good luck!

I clip the alarm to my son's underpants and then put pullups over them. This way the alarm can work and the bed stays dry. Keep a stack of dry underpants and pullups out for quick nighttime changes. Good luck.

Only works with underpants....but we used bed wetting pads so we didn't have to deal with wet bedding each night. You will have good results pretty quickly so even though your son will have wet underpants for a few weeks, the amount of urine will be less and less as time goes by. I'm so glad we spent the money for the alarm, and our daughter is so proud of herself!

Even though the directions for the alarm tell you to only use underwear, we used pull-ups for the first week to minimize the clean ups. My son wore briefs with the alarm on the underwear and then wore a pull-up over it. The alarm still worked without a problem, however the idea is train your child's brain to link together a full bladder and feeling wet so the bed wetting will stop ( and it will!) after we got used to the alarm and routine we eliminated the pull-ups, and yes there may be 1 or 2 messes a night to clean until the training starts to work. We used disposable bed mats to help minimize the wet bed messes at night. But trust me, I was the biggest skeptic of this alarm and all the late nights it would cause. I had an eight year old who never had a dry night in his entire life, after 8 weeks, he was fully trained and to date has only had one accident in 3 months.... No more pull-ups an he gained a huge boost in self confidence!

We just used a damp cloth and a dry one. Also we placed the sensor on the outside of the underwear down in that area near where the underwear has a seam (close to where she would be peeing). Seemed to work really well for us.

My son was wetting 2-3 times a night and took him about 50 days to stop bed wetting. I used up 2 full boxes. So, its worth ordering extra. If you prefer, you can also use band-aid, but I just wanted to use what the manufacturer recommended.

I apply at night and take showers in the morning after a 1 hour work out. I scrub my armpits and it's still effective for the next couple of days. I also had my doubts but for me it's working as advertised.

Yes! We use it constantly with our little guy. During the day for naps (sometimes he'll sleep with just a onesie or tee shirt and diaper underneath) and with short sleeve/ short pj sets at night. In really hot weather I'm anticipating we may just put him in the diaper and the sleep sack:) We love our sleep sacks!!

I wouldn't use it on fleece, as I believe it wouldn't soak in to the fabric, and would then easily peel off in the wash (or God forbid, your child peels it off the bootie, sticks it in his/her mouth and chokes on it!)

Your not suppose to use sheets, I read it is dangerous. As for wetting ummm diapers?

My son (5 1/2) doesn't wear any diapers or pull ups at night and in some cases has had some pretty massive accidents. This pad has never leaked. I wouldn't think that it could replace a diaper for an adult, but it could certainly take care of any leaks that may occur between changing.

My son washed his. It doesn't look much cleaner but, no harm was done. He also rubbed some cornstarch on his after reading on line that it takes away some of the stickiness of this type of thing. It worked. No more lint, and fuzz stuck all over it.

Wondering if this worked for your child, or if you found something better? I am looking for a solution to the same problem with my son. Thanks!

My sister uses the same potty for her son for on the go. It works as long as he knows how to point it down since no shield. But also depends on size of child using it he used it thru age 3.

I used it to potty train only. As long as they're tight enough around the thighs, I think they'll do pretty good for a cloth diaper.

The Chummie comes with 60 "flexitapes" but I wouldn't order more until you know you will need them. Also we have found it helpful to use a pull-up over the underwear and not even use the tape. You can reuse the pull-ups if they don't get wet. Good luck!

These aren't absorbent like the Huggies or similar brand swim diapers, so pee will soak thru. But, they are better about catching poop. The swim school my child attends requires that kids wear two of this type swim diaper when he goes to his lessons. We haven't had any problems with this method.

We usually just wipe it clean with a washcloth before reattaching to underpants. The alarm will go off with just a drop of urine. If you get to it quickly, it shouldn't be that wet. Eventually she will learn to stop herself when she hears it, but it may take a little time.

My dog was a champion puller. I only put it on when we go walking. It fixes the pulling so I'm not sure what wearing it all day would help with, but I don't see any reason why it would be an issue. The straps have a lamb skin pad that cushions the 'armpit' area to keep the straps from irritating his skin. You would have to be canine Houdini in order to skip out of this thing.

I do it before bed and it works amazing. It doesn't wash off and lasted for a 2 weeks after I stopped using it (gotTattoos and can't use it for a couple of weeks) but is honestly worth the money!
