About Try for Dry

The original Try for Dry concept was conceived in 1983 by a group of doctors from different specialties having dinner together. While discussing the issues surrounding children who wet, they realized that there was no solution that addressed all the possible causes for the wetting, which led to frustrated doctors, patients and families.

They teamed up, each contributing knowledge from their own specialty, to create the Try for Dry system. At the time such collaboration for wetting problems was unknown, so Try for Dry was the first system ever designed to provide a comprehensive solution for wetting.

Thanks to the original team’s efforts there is now an easily accessible, straightforward solution for wetting that families can use independently or working with their own doctors.
