If a member of your family is having trouble with wetting the bed, it can take a toll on everyone’s sleep. The person in question is likely to wake up to wet underwear and bedding, and they might recruit their caretaker(s) to help them clean up in the middle of the night. This means multiple family members can struggle to sleep soundly. For this reason and more, it’s important to find a solution to any bedwetting issue.
There are a lot of bedwetting alarms on the market, and they all operate in slightly different ways. The basic idea behind these devices is to wake up the user if they start having an accident. Over time, this should train the person’s brain to wake up before an accident occurs. This list will help you narrow in on some of the best options available so you can choose what’s right for your family’s needs.

How We Picked
When it comes to any bedwetting alarm, the most pressing question is this: Does it work?
We focused on alarms that are well-reviewed, FDA-certified, made from high-quality materials, and so on to eliminate options that might not be reliable.
Beyond that, we also considered the following factors.
Comfort
A bedwetting alarm won’t be effective if it’s too uncomfortable to use while sleeping. So we eliminated options with uncomfortable components (such as pointy wires), because these won’t be conducive to sleep.
Instead, we focused on options that are soft, conform to the user’s body, and/or can be covered with a soft layer to ensure comfort while sleeping.
Cost
The cost of bedwetting alarms can vary dramatically. Some options cost less than $40, while others cost hundreds of dollars.
For the most part, more expensive alarms are likely to be more reliable and to have more features than lower-cost alarms. But as this list proves, there are also quality alarms at a lower price point. Choose what works best for your budget.
Functionality
Bedwetting alarms can take different forms and operate in different ways.
For instance, some alarms come with a bed pad, while others use a sensor that’s attached to the user’s underwear. There are also a range of special features on offer, including different alarm settings, accompanying apps or interactive programs, one-drop sensors, and so on.
We chose bedwetting alarms with different functionalities so you can pick what best suits your family’s needs.
Sleepopolis Buying Tips
To identify the right bedwetting alarm for your family member, consider the following:
- Are they a deep sleeper? If so, you’ll want to look for a device with different alarm tones, volume settings, and vibration options. If the user in question is a light sleeper, then this shouldn’t be as much of a concern.
- Would they benefit from an interactive program? Some people might just need to be alerted that they’re having an accident in order to learn not to have them, while others might benefit from personalized guidance and support as they work on bedwetting issues. You’ll pay more for the latter, but it could be worth it if it’s effective for your family member.
- Does the alarm need to be discrete? If the person in question shares a room with another person or regularly goes on overnights with other people, then a loud alarm might be disruptive to the others’ sleep. In this case, you might want to look for an alarm that has a “vibrate only” function.
Bedwetting can be a frustrating and embarrassing issue that affects not only the person who’s wetting the bed but also the family members who care for them. That’s why it’s so important to find a solution that works for your family’s needs. When bedwetting stops, sleep improves. And that’s good news for the whole family.
