Ready to be done with nighttime pull-ups?

The no-pills way kids learn to wake up dry.

Dry all day. So why not at night?

Chances are, your child still goes to bed in a pull-up.

Maybe it starts the same way every morning: you’re already exhausted… and there it is again, a soaked pull-up on a kid who slept right through it. Or you set an alarm, get them up in the middle of the night, and they’re still wet by morning, while you run on broken sleep, wondering why something so easy all day feels impossible at night.

You’re not alone. More than 34,000 families have turned to NightGuard to get out of night pull-ups, and their stories all start the same way: told to wait, buying box after box… until something finally worked.

Meet NightGuard

Your dry-night solution when nothing else has worked. Most night-time products just manage bedwetting. NightGuard takes a different approach.

A parent’s fingers hold the small white NightGuard sensor on a boy’s own briefs on his bed while he sits beside them in pajamas, wearing the NightGuard armband

It’s a small wireless sensor that clips to your child’s own underwear. The moment the first drop hits, it goes off and wakes them, so they can get up and finish in the bathroom.

Do that night after night, and something starts to click… until one night they get up on their own, or simply sleep dry till morning.

What makes NightGuard different?

Pull-ups manage it. NightGuard trains it.

Think back to how your child got dry during the day. You didn’t just wait… you practiced, one bathroom trip at a time, until it clicked.

Nights never get that practice. Pull-ups keep the bed dry, everyone gets some sleep, and the same soaked pull-up is waiting every morning.

NightGuard gives the nights their practice. It catches the very first drop and gets them up while they can still make it to the bathroom… so every accident brings them one step closer to dry.

“We are on night 4 and my 6 year old is out of pull ups… he only does a few drops and it goes off he then stops wetting and goes to the toilet, so we haven’t had to change sheets at all, and my son was a wet the bed even through a pull-up.”– Kayla M.

Made by parents, not marketers

NightGuard was made by a parent, just like you, who wanted to actually end it… and just couldn’t take how ineffective everything else on the market was.

“They’ll grow out of it” is true… eventually. But only about 1 in 7 kids do each year, and waiting is easy advice to give. It’s your child who sits out the sleepovers in the meantime.

NightGuard is how kids grow out of it, on purpose. It’s where bedwetting specialists start, and the UK’s guideline says it has “a high long-term success rate.”

The result? A lot of parents say it clicked within 3 weeks, and the accidents finally stopped.

Real families. Real results.

One family’s doctor wouldn’t refer their 7-year-old to a bedwetting clinic until they’d tried NightGuard. Here’s how it went for them:

“The first 4 nights we noticed a difference only dribbling in his pants , then I think my son started to sleep through the vibrating and was wetting ABIT more before it woke him up. Then come day 9 he was dry not even waking up for a wee in the night. He was holding it until he woke up in the morning. He has been dry everywhere since… He is so proud of himself.”– Mark T.

Here’s what a few more parents have to say:

What parents ask before they try it

We already tried an alarm. Why would this be different?

If your child slept right through the last one, that’s where most alarms leave you. NightGuard has more ways in: a buzz right on their arm, or the unit across the room so they have to get up… and if they still sleep through it at first, you get them up, and it still works.

How do we know we’re ready?

If your child is dry all day and still waking up wet, you’re ready. And if it’s starting to affect their world… sitting out sleepovers, losing confidence, asking when they can stop wearing pull-ups… now is the time.

My child sleeps through everything. Will it work?

Yes. Some deep sleepers sleep through it at first, and that’s okay. In those first nights you get them up, and it still works.

“It works! We are a few weeks in wearing this, and our son is a SUPER deep sleeper and he has had 5 dry nights in a row! He is 8 and so ready to be done with night time accidents!”– Kelly R.

Can they still wear a pull-up?

Yes, as long as it goes over their own underwear. Clip the sensor to the underwear and put the pull-up on top. On its own, a pull-up soaks up that first drop before NightGuard can catch it.

Will my child actually wear it?

Most kids forget it’s there. There are no cords, and the sensor clips to their own underwear, so nothing pulls when they roll over or get up.

“It is really small. My daughter barely notices it”– Tanya B.

How long does it take?

A lot of parents say it clicked within 3 weeks, and some kids take a little longer. Keep going every night until they’ve had two dry weeks in a row.

Is it worth the money?

Think about what you’re spending now. Pull-ups cost hundreds a year, with no end date in sight. NightGuard is one purchase, and our job is for you to not need us anymore. It also comes with a 60-night money-back guarantee, so there’s no risk in trying it.

How does the guarantee work?

Give it 60 nights. If your child isn’t staying dry, you get a full refund, no questions asked… even if you’ve used it.
