Dry-Me: Some Deceit by Perversion and Concealment

We looked at the home site for the Dry-Me bedwetting alarm. Generally speaking, there was little hype or phony boasting, and the product was adequately described. What a positive difference compared to the misleading web sites and the poor information presented for products like Chummie (and others noted in our reviews below) on their web sites.

 As we have mentioned earlier, it is not our intent to comment on or criticize about how well or poorly a product may work, or whether it has or does not have desirable features, and so on. Our primary concern is with whether the information presented conceals or perverts the truth and misleads the reader with respect to the product. Here too, the Dry-Me presentation is quite straightforward. Our quibbles are few:

In the first FAQ: “The volume cannot be adjusted. All wearable bedwetting alarms are about 80 decibels to help wake deep sleepers. To begin with, use both sound and vibration until you learn how your child will respond to the alarm, and adjust as necessary.”  We are glad that you have mentioned that the Dry-Me does not have a volume control. This feature may be particularly relevant as some users have mentioned (complained?) that the alarm is very loud. Mentioning the actual loudness in dB (what the user would hear with the alarm placed in its normal operating location) would be a plus. A bigger plus would be to point out more prominently that there is no volume control in the Dry-Me. The last statement in the FAQ quoted says “… learn how your child will respond to the alarm, and adjust as necessary.”  As a parent, caregiver or user, we would certainly like to know what sort of adjustment we should make as there is no volume control. Place the alarm farther away or closer to the ear? This has definite limits and is not a good approach to adjusting the volume. Deceit by perversion.
Another user complains that the Dry-Me does not have a low battery indicator. We can understand the importance of this so as to lessen the chance that the alarm will fail to function due to a failed battery. Dry-Me's not mentioning the absence of this feature is deceit by concealment.

 

To truly compare Malem with all relevant competitors in today’s marketplace, look at http://www.urinealarms.com/Wired_Alarm_Chart.html . This is the most comprehensive set of data and facts about bedwetting alarms that we have seen. Malem does not fare well. This explains why Malem and the Bedwetting Store resort to deceit and propaganda to promote the Malem bedwetting alarm!

 

The Bedwetting Store is the only seller who advertises and continues to sell the Malem Bedwetting Alarm. All other sellers have either realized the truth about the Malem Bedwetting Alarm or have abandoned it, but the Bedwetting Store continues its deceit.
