Bob. I'm not opposed to the use of any alarm, bedwetting or alarmclock. But if the child is a deep sleeper neither an alarmclock or bedwetting alarm will work, unless the parent wakes the child up. Then it is already too late, the accident has happened. If the child is a 'on the clock' wetter I see your point in trying to wake the child up half an hour earlier, but some children aren't. That was the fact in my son's case. The main reason I stopped using the alarms, however, was that my son, after having been woken up had trouble falling asleep again, and he got sleepy in the day. His school results dropped. As for the diaper fetish argument: most psychologists and psychiatrists agree that the 'seed' to fetishism usually is laid at age 1-2 years. (Not only diaper fetishism, but any fetishism.) The children that develop a diaper fetishism do this at a very early age. I do not deny that wearing diapers at an older age might strengthen the fetishism. But a very few children develop this fetishism, although it seems that a lot of the diaperfetishists have found this web site.
