Anzacare Eclipse - Wireless Remote Sensor Bed Wetting Treatment Alarm

I rarely write reviews but I am so thrilled with the results of this alarm that I wanted to share our experience to hopefully help other families. When my son turned 9 and was still wet every night (never had a dry night) I was starting to worry that it would never happen. I kept waiting and hoping for the magical hormone I’d read about to kick in.... I had heard about bed wetting alarms but from my limited understanding of them, I associated them with the saying about the horse bolting and the stable door! It wasn’t until I heard of a friend using it with her daughter and the success they had, that I decided to give it a try. I only wish I had researched it more thoroughly sooner because it worked for my son after 12 nights. At bed time we practised what he needed to do when the alarm went off. We also had a mantra about where he wees and where he doesn’t wee! We cut a small slit in his pull up and wrapped the sensor in a sheet of toilet paper and inserted it into the pull up. The first few nights were hard - the alarm went off 4 times in the early days, it was like having a newborn again! The alarm is loud, I was worried it might disturb the entire house, but surprisingly it didn’t - I guess it depends on how deeply everyone sleeps. I knew my son was a heavy sleeper, but I couldn’t believe that on some occasions he would not even stir when this alarm was going off right next to him! The idea is that they have to turn the alarm off themselves so I’m there next to his bed calling his name! He’d then eventually turn it off and while usually he would then, bleary eye-ed, get up and do what he needed to do, there were also a couple of times he’d roll over and go back to sleep. Fortunately I was standing there to ensure that this didn’t often happen! Each night we noted down the times that the alarm would go off. This helped because the next morning it was hard to recall the nighttime activities. It also meant we could see progress. The first few nights, it would go off 3 or 4 times, then twice or once a night, and finally by the 12th night - not at all! We were delighted, my son in particular was so proud of himself. After a week or so with the alarm not going off, we stopped using it. It’s been 6 weeks now with no accidents. He either wakes up to go the toilet or he holds on until the morning. One thing I would say is to be consistent and to have faith. Those initial nights were hard and I wanted a crystal ball to tell me it would be worth it in the end. Don’t give up, your child WILL get there but consistency is important. I had no idea that the brain and bladder connection was so important. This is by far the best £100 I have ever spent!

Mi hija de 6 años ha tenido que llevar siempre pañal por la noche, duerme muy profundo y jamas se despertaba para hacer pipí. Por el día controla sin problemas. Llevo un mes usando esta alarma, y a pesar de ser muy duro, levantándome todas las noches cuando sonaba la alarma y acompañarla al baño a terminar de hacer pipí, merece la pena. A los 25 días ya había noches que se despertaba sola y se iba al baño a hacer pipí, y luego se quedaba seca el resto de la noche. A los 32 días, ya ni se despierta a hacer pipí, y lo aguanta toda la noche. Por fin le he quitado el pañal y llevamos 6 días continuos sin que haga nada! Si no lo veo, no lo creo... La alarma suena bastante alto, mi hija y yo nos despertábamos sin problemas. El sensor es pequeño y no le molesta, simplemente lo pongo con un poco de papel higiénico para que cuando se moje, la alarma suena, y lo insertaba en un agujero que cortaba en la zona de pipí del pañal. Producto altamente recomendado para papis con niños grandes que no retienen pipí por la noche! Un milagro...

From the reviews it looked like a hit or miss. Still bought this instead of much cheaper options because there are no cables and the sensors reasonably small. And that does make a huge difference IMO. After some 10 days of use no false or missed alarms. Really working great so far.

Cela fait 35 jours que j’ai utilisé ce produit pour la première fois. Dès la livraison j’ai rapidement lu le mode d’emploi et conseils donnés et on a commencé directement pour ma fille qui a 7 ans et qui faisait toujours pipi au lit. Le capteur est facile à utilisé dans la culotte de l’enfant. Je l’ai simplement enveloppé dans un mouchoir en papier et l’ai mis directement dans la couche car nous en utilisons toujours pour ma file (type drynites). Je n’ai pas eu besoin de pratiquer une fente pour l’insérer entre les enveloppes de la couche. Le produit est juste bluffant, et redoutable d’efficacité. Le jour 1 il a sonné aux premières gouttes de pluie et ma fille a qui j’avais bien expliqué le principe s’est levée et est allée aux toilettes. Le 2 e jour également et le 3e. Je me suis rendue compte que ma fille n’avait besoin de faire pipi que une seule fois dans la nuit. Dès la 4 e nuit avec ce dispositif il n’a plus sonné. Ma fille s’est systématiquement levée d’elle même pour faire pipi sans que le stop pipi ne sonne. Par mesure de prudence et de contrôle on a continué à l’utiliser encore environ 3 semaines et moins d’un mois après le début ma fille a souhaite ne plus avoir le stop pipi dans la culotte. Cela fait maintenant 7 jours qu’elle dort sans stop pipi ni couche et se lève spontanément pour aller aux toilettes la nuit. Je dois dire que avant l’arrêt du stop pipi nous avons arrêté aussi d’utiliser les couches et à ce moment j’ai mis le stop pipi directement dans sa culotte en l’enveloppant toujours avec un mouchoir en papier. Mais comme il bougeait parfois car la culotte était moins ajustée que les couches pipi, j’ai commencé à l’insérer dans un protège slip mini daily plus petit et plus léger qu’une serviette hygiénique. Mon seul regret est de ne pas avoir eu connaissance de ce produit bien auparavant. Le monitoring réalisé avec le carnet de notes montre que ma fille se lève parfois mais parfois pas la nuit. Certaines nuits elle va faire pipi mais il arrive aussi des nuits où elle n’aura pas besoin de le faire et elle va aux toilettes le matin au lever. Je continue de noter tout cela au cas où... Parallèlement à cette utilisation j’avais mis en place l’habitude d’aller systématiquement faire pipi avant de se coucher et de limiter les boissons le soir.

I have a 12 year old son that has never gone more than three days dry, but typically has had an accident everyday of his life, and we have spent the past six years trying everything under the sun to help him not have night time accidents. He hasn’t been allowed sugary drinks, even at family functions or when we go out, and nothing after seven while constantly monitoring his fluid intake in the morning to keep him hydrated. We would wake him up two separate times every night but his accidents were always random and we could never figure out times that would help. He even had to miss a week long school field trip that’s a really big deal in this area. He’s never been able to go to sleep overs. We’ve gone through three wet alarms over the years that he would either sleep through or he would remove in his sleep. We’ve set up reward systems for him that he really cares about in order to encourage him to want to try, but he would often get angry when he would have an accident and couldn’t the reward. We had taken him to several specialists that couldn’t give us any answer to why he was wetting the bed at night and would suggest the alarms that we would keep trying again and again. One specialist told me she had kids even at seventeen with bed wetting issues, which fed my fear he wouldn’t grow out of it. After a while you could see my son had given up and it was taking a toll on his sleep and his emotional state so we stopped with the alarms and just stocked up on ninjamas and triple protected his mattress (we go through like two a year because he leaks through his diapers every night regardless of brand and size). I was feeling like I was failing him, especially after him not going to Scicon. But then one day I came across this and decided to give it a try after reading the reviews. I purchased this November 15th. I followed the priming instructions with my son, slipped the alarm inside on of my panty liners and attached it to his diaper and left the base on my nightstand. This alarm is VERY loud and very sensitive. If my son went pee before bed and pulled his diaper up and even a drop would get on it, it goes off, but I don’t mind this because it help him recognize how to be careful. During the night when it goes off I would wake up thinking there’s a fire, and I’m a very deep sleeper as well and it would wake up everyone in our house. By day three my son was asking me not to wear the alarm because it was so annoying but I reminded him once again why we were trying it. I told him as long as he leaves the alarm on all night he can get video games (the reward for being dry), and that I don’t care if he has an accident in the morning as long as the alarm is left in place. I just wanted to try it out for six weeks and if it didn’t work I promised I would stop with the alarms. By day five we had a day dry, and by Dec 1 we started to see dry streaks. Since Dec 9 he has not had a single accident. We’ve let up all our restrictions and he has been able to just be a normal 12 year old boy and we’ve all been able to sleep through the night. We plan to continue using this alarm until mid January as long as the dry streak continues. What’s really special about this alarm is it is wireless so there’s no cords or buttons that he can switch or remove, and the way we place it inside a panty liner makes it hard for him to remove without tearing it open and us knowing. It’s loud and jarring enough I think it does a good job training the brain to wake up when he has to urinate. And the fact the base can be placed in our room ensures we wake up to make sure he’s getting up and going to the bathroom. It was pricer than the past alarms but I really feel like if you have an older child that struggles to go even one night dry this is the alarm you want. This has been the first time in years I haven’t had to worry about helping my son strip his bed and wash his sheets and scrub his mattress, about what he’s drinking and the time he’s drinking it, or wondering if I’m doing the right thing or causing more issues by trying to solve the bedwetting issue. That fear that he would be wetting the bed into adulthood and his quality of life being around hiding it is finally gone. You can already tell his self confidence has gotten better, he really knows he has control over this now. Best purchase I’ve made, would definitely recommend.
