WeeMinder FAQ Section

1. How long does the WeeMinder Potty Training battery last? -The life expectancy of the battery depends mainly on how much you use it.  If you keep the wee-Minder turned on 24.7, it should last approximately one month.  If you turn it off the potty training reminder when you are not using it, it has been known to last up to six months.


2.  Why is your shortest time setting 1 hour for the potty training reminder? Shouldn't it be shorter for the first days of potty training? -We put a lot of time, research and thought into these time schedules.  Our weeminder potty training prototypes varied from the shortest time being 30 and 45 minutes.  We found that by the time we hop, hop, hopped to the Potty Place, took off needed clothing, sat on the potty chair, read the book and such, pulled up our clothing, flushed and washed up our paws, celebrated and drank more fluids,the WeeMinder potty training musical reminder played again! When you are first potty training, we agree they should go more often than normal to gain muscle memory, but they need time to sit there, talk about it, and drink lots of liquids (stop after dinner time to help with nighttime dryness)! We found that an one hour setting was the perfect amount of time to accomplish potty training success. 

3.  What if my toddler won't wear the weeminder potty training reminder? -Don't push it! Keep it positive and continually encourage the entire time during potty training.  Give them a choice to wear it on their wrist or pant loop.  Or let an older sibling wear it and talk about how great it is.  Put it on a stuffed animal they carry around or a bag.  

The parent or sibling can wear it on a pantloop or bag and talk about how great and cool it is for potty training.  The key is to give them choices and encourage it.  Our kids fought over who could wear it during and after potty training.  If you make it fun and do not get frustrated or force them, they will most likely never want to take it off!
