The first is an alarm that they can wear. The unit has a sensor which is connected to a cord from the main unit and is placed in the underwear. The other section is attached to the night clothes close enough to the child's ear so they can hear it when it goes off. What usually occurs is that if they have an accident and urinate the sensor picks it up and the alarm is triggered setting off the alarm to wake up the child. In each instance that this occurs what basically happens is that the child is conditioned to wake up each time they urinate until they eventually develop the instinct on their own and wake up to go to the bathroom. It is a very effective method of training.
The next is a wireless bedwetting alarm. It performs in much the same way with a sensor placed in the underwear but it does not have all those connecting wires and the main unit, the alarm itself can be placed on a night table or even on the other side of the room. The concept here is to get the child up and moving each time the alarm goes off. That is the only way to stop it.
The third is a modified version of the standard bed pad. In this instance a pad is placed under the child. It has sensor strips in it which triggers and alarm if any moisture is detected. It is not as effective as the other two however as some degree of moisture has to be present to trigger the alarm. It is the last resort choice when it comes to bedwetting alarms.
They are not as horrible as they sound so you need not worry. The child can have an alarm in any color that they wish. Some even come with a variety of sounds for the alarm.
