Pharmacy Alarm Rental

Questions that many parents ask themselves:

Should you rent or buy an alarm system? Is it covered by social security?

We specialize in bedwetting treatment, and it's a question we hear every day from families inquiring about bedwetting alarms. How many families have gone to the pharmacy to ask about renting them?

The results are frightening: In 2025, all pharmacies in France were still renting outdated systems that required the addition of strips. The famous "ÉDUCQUE RÉFLEXES PIPI-STOP®"

So what device is hidden behind this name?

To answer the question, let's start with a little history. The "ÉDUCE RÉFLEXES PIPI-STOP®" bedwetting alarm was invented in 1953. For those who still have one in their cupboards, don't throw it away; it must surely have some value.

How it works:

Very simple to use, a 9-volt battery powers the electronic circuit. A strip probe connected by a wire emits a signal when the child urinates. The alarm sounds, and the child turns it off by disconnecting the probe.

Its advantages:

• In 1953, surely many

Its disadvantages:

• Diaper strips to be purchased separately in pharmacies (average price observed: €30-40 per strip)
• Very short battery life
• No ringtone selection and a non-optimized ringtone
• Thick wire connected between the child and the alarm
• The device's size makes it a difficult and inconspicuous alarm to carry.
• What is the level of training pharmacy employees have on this type of equipment?

Typical Prices Observed:

Renting from a pharmacy involves the purchase of a minimum of two cloth diapers at €35/€40 each, then a monthly rental of the device at €20 (price generally observed), i.e. a total of at least €120 for two months (not reimbursed).

What is the point, in this case, of renting a completely outdated and non-reimbursed device from a pharmacy?

It's completely pointless, except for wasting money and energy.
