Recommendations for a bedwetting alarm?

[TwoBees]

Any that are tried and true? Thanks.

ETA: Also, any recommendations for how to use the alarm with DD1 (7.5 years) without waking DD2 (3 years)? I have been putting off the alarm because I have been dreading interrupting everyone's sleep (my family does not do the whole "sleep thing" well, sigh).

Any suggestions?

We used the Wet Stop alarm when my daughter was 9 (almost 10). I think the doctor recommended we wait until she was at least 8 years old and then we waited until she had her own room for the same reasons you are worried. It worked very fast for us even after 3 or 4 years of major nighttime problems.

We used wetstop and it worked perfectly. DS1 and DS2 share a bedroom, but DS2 slept right through the alarm with no issues. Good luck! It worked well for DS and he's never had a setback. It did take a loooong time, but he was much younger than your daughter when we used it.

Malem here too. It worked pretty quickly for my 8-year-old daughter.

FWIW, I thought that DS was going to be in night-time pull ups for the rest of his life. Somewhere between 7.5 and 8, he suddenly stayed dry. It was very abrupt. One minute he was wet every night and then all of a sudden, permanently dry. Now (at 12), he chugs water before bed and doesn't use the bathroom until the morning. The ped said that it would happen once his bladder was strong/big enough.

Thanks everyone, I will take a look at those suggested!

I'm in need of this for my ODD, which Malem alarm did you use? The one that clips on the shoulder or the one that clips on the undies?

I'm not sure what this means. We have one where the wetness sensor clip attaches to the undies; this is then connected with a long wire to the "box" that actually makes all the noise. This "box" can then be clipped anywhere - we clip it onto his pants as he finds that more comfortable than clipping on his shirt at the neckline.

I would say the most important thing is to be prepared for it and do a lot of research ahead of time.
The Bedwetting store is a good resource. http://bedwettingstore.com/
You really have to think about any other possible causes before starting. Functional constipation is one of them. Otherwise you are setting your kid up for failure. I would suggest you talk to your pediatrician first.
My DS did not have a dry night in his life until he was 7, and he still wet the bed most nights. We had several go arounds with alarms. Even went through three of them. (For the price they are stop working easily, two new one used.) We finally just gave up, went to a specialist, still didn't get far, got meds for sleepovers and just waited it out. He stopped when he was 13. I got a good washer and extra sheets.

We had the Chummy (which I would not recommend) at first. DD wanted one that she could control the volume and sound on, so we went with this one.

I think the biggest factors that led to success were that she got to choose the alarm, and she was completely on board and committed to wearing it with a goal date in mind. It took several weeks of nightly alarming, but it did work in about 4 weeks. She has had one accident in the past year.

I saw some undies that have a place for the alarm to clip or a different system that has a wire and needs to be clipped onto the tee.

Ours had a sensor that attached by clip to the underwear. We put a pull-up over the underwear so that we didn't have to change sheets in the middle of the night. We also layered a few mattresses protectors just in case.
