How does a bedwetting alarm work?
The DRI Sleeper® has two parts to it. It has the alarm unit which is approximately half the size of a credit card in its width and length, and only 5/8 of an inch (12 mm) thick (one of the smallest alarm units available). On the back of the alarm case is a hook piece of Velcro, and we supply the loop piece of Velcro which you can sew or pin to the pyjamas. The alarm case sits firmly in place on the Velcro patch, and you can pull it off in the morning. The second part is that the moisture detector, and this plugs into the alarm unit which sits on the child’s shoulder, and has a wire which goes inside the pyjamas down into the crutch of the underwear where the detecting part sits (see “how does the detector stay in the underwear”). When the child starts to wet, the urine hits the detector and triggers the alarm and wakes the child.
