How to use visualisation to help stop bedwetting

Visualization is a powerful tool that can help your child overcome bedwetting by enhancing their prospective memory—the ability to remember to perform an action in the future, such as waking up to use the bathroom when their bladder is full. Using visualization can prepare your child for successful night toilet training, even before their bedwetting alarm arrives, potentially reducing the duration of the training process.

How long does night-time toilet training take?

Every child is different. 40 years of feedback tells us that it may take anywhere from a couple of weeks up to 3 months, while some need to persevere for 6 months.

And then we also have customers whose children never wet again after the alarm is plugged in! If you have a family vacation or school camp coming up, we recommend you start night toilet training as soon as possible.

Bedwetting really-nice-to-haves when you are training the brain bladder connection on your way to DRI nights

🚨 Bedwetting alarm
read the instructions and get familiar

🛏️ Waterproof linen, we're talking brolly sheets or similar, make it as easy as possible to get that bed changed and everyone back to sleep (we love )

💦 Mattress protector, this is a just in case measure that's always worth it. Protect the bed against kamikaze sleepers or the occasional absorbent sheet leakage

🩲 Uncomfy un**es - yes! You read that right. Comfort can contribute to wet nights, making it too easy to stay in bed. Ditch the pull ups and use non absorbent underwear to help wake them

🐻 Spare PJs, you don't want to hunting around for those in the night. Keep a handy stash nearby

🧻 Wet wipes or a flannel for a quick clean if possible

👃 Low or no tox deodoriser for the bedroom - this helps avoid developing a stinky room and avoids embarrassment if a sibling or friend comes into the room

🪣 Bucket or sink for soaking sheets and night clothes with a bit of laundry powder. Having the child put the sheets in the bucket will help them engage with the process and take responsibility.

Train the Brain - how bedwetting alarms work 🔗 🧠

Bedwetting alarms work by pairing the sensation of a full bladder with a loud noise, training the brain to wake up when needed.

This is based on a natural learning process discovered by Pavlov, who showed that repeating associations can trigger automatic responses.

In kids, bedwetting often happens because the brain hasn't fully developed the reflex to wake up when the bladder is full. A bedwetting alarm helps "train" this reflex, leading to dry nights.

Best of all, alarms are safe, non-invasive, and often help kids stay dry without any risks. With the right support, it works—there's hope for progress!

5 tips for parents helping their kids with bedwetting 🦸🏻‍♀️

Don’t appear angry, irritated or impatient Sorry! We know this can be hard sometimes but it is worth working on in order to reduce the possibility that your child is worried about wetting the bed and upsetting you. A vicious cycle can occur as the anxiety may cause the bedwetting.

Some suggestions for you:

🤓 Be super organised Two layers of waterproof sheets on your child’s bed so you can ‘rip and strip’ while child goes to the toilet, clean your child quickly with wet wipes then put them in dry night clothes and back to sleep ASAP.

♻️ Conditioned learning, condition yourself Walk through the night time routine with your spouse to ensure you are consistent. This also helps reinforce your own conditioned learning.

🤝 Share the load Make sure other members of your household are committed to sharing the burden of getting up and also doing the washing.

💆 Mindfulness Try practicing mindfulness meditation before bed. The point of this is to give you a bit of space, a moment of clarity, before reacting to the bedwetting situation. If you are peaceful and calm before you go to sleep, you will likely be calm if you are woken during the night. If you want to learn Mindfulness

🧘‍♀️ Meditation, then use the guided meditation called “Complete Meditation Instructions9” free from the reputable UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Centre (MARC). It is available as a download or podcast. If you want a guided meditation to use before sleep, we recommend the Meditation Oasis podcast10, which includes the following guided meditations free of charge “Guided Meditation for sleep” and “Sleep Mediation for Children”.

Introducing the two main types of DRI Sleeper alarm - flip through these tiles or read below 👇

⭐️ Wired ⭐️

Affordable & Effective: Wired bedwetting alarms are typically cheaper than wireless options, offering a reliable solution without the need for wireless connectivity.

Simple Setup: The alarm is attached to the child’s night clothes near the ear, with the sensor placed in the underwear to catch the first drops of urine.

Child-Friendly Design: The DRI Sleeper Excel features a bright, colourful design that appeals to younger children, encouraging them to wear the alarm.

Superior Sensing: The Excel alarm uses a flexible, dual-sided sensor with 9 sensing strips on each side, ensuring high accuracy in detecting early wetness.

Potential for Disconnection: Children may accidentally disconnect the alarm or fall back asleep before getting up to use the toilet, especially if they’re restless.

⭐️ Wireless ⭐️

Cord-Free & Discreet: The DRI Sleeper Eclipse uses built-in wireless technology, eliminating the need for cords or separate transmitters, making it discreet and appealing to older children.

No Cords, No Hassle: With no cords to pull out, it’s perfect for restless sleepers who might otherwise disconnect a wired alarm during the night.

Encourages Independence: The alarm can be placed out of reach, prompting the child to get up and turn it off when it triggers, reinforcing the habit of waking up to use the toilet.

Effective Detection: The sensor is placed directly in the underwear, ensuring it catches the first drops of urine for quick and reliable detection.

Multiple Alarms for Support: The DRI Sleeper Eclipse allows for additional alarms to be placed in the parent’s bedroom, enabling quick and assisted responses when needed.

Bedwetting age 5 - 7

Wondering if your child is ready for a bedwetting alarm?

Look for signs like waking up dry some mornings or showing interest in staying dry at night. 🛏️✨

To help them get comfortable, involve them in setting up the alarm and explain how it works. Practice a ‘dry run’ together so they know what to expect.

Encouragement and patience will help them feel confident and supported every step of the way. 💪👏
