We had tried everything but he's a heavy sleeper and just did not feel when he needed to go. Finally decided to give the Dri Sleeper Excel a go and I'm so happy to say that it worked really well for him and he's now completely night dry! After just two nights of the alarm going off and us having to wake him up as he didn't wake to it , he then started to have a few completely dry nights which was unheard of for him!

The strange thing was he wasn't even getting up to go to the toilet in the night, he was just managing to hold on until the morning, so his body was obviously becoming aware of the full bladder feeling. Once he did a couple of weeks of continuous dry nights, we stopped using the alarm and have had no accidents since. He has now started to get himself up during the night to go toilet when he needs to - amazing!

We used the alarm inside a thin pull up which was much easier than having wet bedding. Ideally we would have preferred a wireless alarm as we did have the alarm come unplugged a couple of times while he was asleep and even lost it in the bed one time, but the wired version was much more affordable for us and still worked really well.
