There is a moisture sensor device pad which is used in the bed-side enuresis alarm which can keep under the upper part of the bedding of a child. Usually the alarm unit is then linked to this device which is placed on a table close to the bed. These bed-side units are powered by either battery or current.

The clothing-mounted bedwetting alarms are fixed to the cloth of the child. The
advantages of this type of alarm are the use of small sensors which can be easily fixed to the undergarments of a child. For child’s quick reaction the alarm unit is fixed in the area of his cloth that is called shoulder, this is why child can hear the sound clearly wake him up quickly to the bathroom. Moreover it is not required for a table near the bed of the child.
