Through a learning process called conditioning, the alarm teaches the child’s subconscious reflex system in the brain to become aware that the bladder is full and they should wake up and go to the toilet, or hold on for the night whilst asleep. Use of the alarms have a 70 – 87% success rate.

"Lisa has been pivotal in my son's support and development with toileting and fostering a happy "Mr Poo" and "Little Miss Wee". 😅 She 100% was all about making the toileting experience a happy one for all of us (in what can become quite a stressful thing), and had loads of practical advice and encouragement along with the medical expertise.
Highly recommend."
