Bed Wetting AlarmsThere are two types of alarms:
Alarms can be very effective in reducing or stopping bed wetting. The idea is to trigger an alarm as soon as moisture is felt. Over a period of time the brain is trained to recognise the alarm and respond by controlling the bladder. Hopefully,after some time, the brain will react before urinating. This can take from a few days to a few weeks. If the bedwetting does stop, it may be necessary to occasionally used an alarm again if the condition re-occurs. Many of the wireless alarms are designed for children, but there are companies providing alarms for adult enuresis suffers.
Adult Incontinence Diapers At NightUsing adult incontinence diapers at night does not help overcome the problem, but it does prevent soiling the bedclothes and waking to the discomfort of a soggy sheet. Adult diapers come in all sizes and are very useful for the elderly who have developed a weak bladder. If you do not like the idea of wearing a diaper a rubber mattress protector will protect the bed. |
