Why choose a Malem bedwetting alarm?

Malem alarms are the world’s leading brand of bedwetting alarms. Malem alarms have not only set
the standard for bedwetting alarms, we are also leading the way with newly developed products
incorporating modern technology.

Malem alarms are reliable, easy to use, economical and are tailored to specific children’s needs.

Why choose an alarm with eight sounds?

Some parents notice that their child is getting used to the same tone, and starts to tune the alarm
out (called “auditory accommodation”). In these children, the 8 tone alarm can be used. When
using the 8 tone alarm, each time a child wets the bed a different tone will automatically sound.

How long will the alarm treatment take to work?

Typically treatment is 6 to 8 weeks, however every child is different. We often receive feedback
that once a child starts the Malem bedwetting alarm treatment, within 2 weeks they were
completely dry.
Maximum length of treatment is 3 months.

Which type of wearable sensor is best, easy clip or standard sensor?

Both types of sensors are clinically equivalent. The standard sensor is the traditional type of sensor
that is worn either sandwiched between 2 pairs of underpants or inserted into a slit made in a
sanitary pad.
The newer type easy clip sensor is a more modern sensor, that the manufacturer, Malem Medical
developed. The easy clip sensor only needs to be clipped to the outside of one pair of cotton
underpants.
Both can be used with pull ups.

How long is the warranty.

The warranty on alarms is 6 months.

My child has special needs, which Alarm would you recommend?

We recommend the Malem Recordable alarm. The Malem recordable alarm is the only alarm in the world that you can record a parents voice or piece of music to sound when bedwetting occurs.
Having a more familiar sound can be less frightening for children with special needs.
