[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of the TheraPee post.

No the Therapee does not work with any type of Pull-up or diaper.  It is a pad attached to an alarm that is under the sheet. The sheet/pad must get wet to trip the alarm. What I've done is layer a puppy pad or an incontinence pad under the fitted sheet, and then put another pad over the sheet, layer another sheet in about 3 layers with the outermost layer having the Therapee pad.  In the middle of the night all I had to do was dry the pad and slip it under the next sheet down.  The pads are bigger than the Therapee pad in case he didn't stay all the way on the pad.

It took a lot of work.  Part of the program is getting my son up to go to the bathroom even after the sensor went off.  It was clear in the beginning that he wasn't really awake.  We also started to limit liquid at night.  What I mean by that is that my son used to drink lots of sparkling water and I stopped buying it for the moment and he is not drinking as much liquid. We don't limit water or other beverages, but he is naturally drinking less.  We also make him go to the bathroom several times during the bedtime routine.

Thanks for the suggestion of Goodnights underwear. I've also seen another brand that looks like regular boxer briefs.  I was planning to buy some for camp this summer.  I will compare both brands.
