Alarm sensor that goes inside pull up - does such a thing exhist?

I bought a bedwetting alarm off amazon and it clips to pjs. The problem is it’s going off with sweat and it’s hard to get it unclipped. I was wondering if another sensor might be the answer but I don’t know where to find one. Ideally I’d like one that could go in a pull up to avoid the endless washing. Any advice/recommendations?

We have been given an alarm to try by the school nurse and I haven't tried it yet... However, I have said that I can't deal with the washing (have another child with issues too and it's becoming relentless) so the nurse advised us to get her to wear 2 pairs of knickers and put the sensor between the 2, and then to put pull ups over the top to reduce washing... I hope that makes sense... like I said, we haven't tried it yet xx

I bought one off amazon too - it’s blue - may be the same one? My son wore pants to bed with the clip attached and put pull ups over the top. That way it was only the pants I had to wash which was a lot easier! He’s quite sweaty in bed too but never had a problem with setting off the alarm. Good luck! Took us a month x

We’re having real success with the mat version of the alarm - my son in 5 1/2 and so far 4 dry nights after 10 days.

you can buy washable bed mats off the internet too, they go over the sheet so if you have a couple(we have 4) u only need to change that in the night when they wet. I totally get the exhaustion factor (have dealt with this with 1 child til nearly 9 & the other still in the process at age 6) but its giving their brains mixed messages if they are still in pull-ups...& he may be less sweaty if just in pants! the alarms themselves I would recommend to anyone, my oldest was finally dry after 6-8 wks of use which seemed a miracle!
