Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is DryClip?
DryClip is a reusable, ultra-light diaper-mounted sensor that detects moisture using capacitive sensing.
It attaches onto the outside of any diaper and notifies you when it becomes wet — so you stop guessing and start knowing. -
How does DryClip work?
DryClip uses single-pad capacitive sensing, the same technology found in medical devices and smartphones.
When a diaper becomes wet, its internal moisture changes the diaper’s electric field, and DryClip detects that change instantly. The app simply shows the result — the device does the thinking. -
Does DryClip touch the body?
No. DryClip sits on the outside of the diaper.
No metal touches the body. No conductive gel. No wires inside the diaper. -
Is DryClip safe?
Yes. DryClip uses ultra-low-power electronics, emits no heat, and has fully insulated electrodes. The product uses medical-grade materials and is designed with infant safety as the top priority.
-
Is DryClip reusable?
Yes — it is fully reusable and rechargeable.
-
Does DryClip require Wi-Fi?
No. DryClip uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate directly with your phone or monitor.
-
Does DryClip store my data?
Your data stays on your device unless you choose to enable cloud sync. DryPing Inc. never sells personal information.
-
How long does the battery last?
A full charge lasts multiple days, depending on usage and alert frequency.
-
Is DryClip waterproof?
DryClip is splash resistant and designed for normal diaper use, but it is not meant to be submerged.
-
What about skin irritation or rash prevention?
DryClip helps caregivers reduce prolonged wetness by alerting them as soon as moisture is detected - supporting cleaner, drier diapers and greater comfort.
-
Where to attach DryClip™ ?
For best performance, attach DryClip to the front, lower half of the diaper. It detects changes in the diaper's overall moisture level by sensing changes in capacitance, so it doesn't need to touch liquid directly to send an alert.
-
Can DryClip be used outside of baby care?
Yes — the same sensing technology can be adopted for other caregiving and hygiene-monitoring environments in the future.
-
Can DryClip detect a bowel movement?
Both create moisture changes inside the diaper, so the sensor will alert for any significant wet event. However, you can manually tag an event as a bowel movement inside the app.
-
How does DryClip stay attached?
DryClip has a small hook or tape strip that grips directly to the outside material of the diaper—no second Velcro piece is needed. Clothing worn over the diaper provides additional support and helps keep DryClip securely positioned during normal use.
-
How long does the DryClip battery last?
DryClip lasts approximately 3-4 days on a single charge, depending on usage. There is no need to recharge it after each diaper change.
-
Will DryClip detect multiple wet events?
No. DryClip is designed to notify you of the first wet event after it is armed. After a wet event is detected, the diaper or brief should be checked or changed, and DryClip must be armed again to monitor for the next wet event.
-
Does DryClip work with all diaper brands?
DryClip is designed to work with most disposable diapers, cloth diapers and adult briefs. Detection performance can vary depending on diaper construction, absorbent materials, fit and sensor placement. For best results, follow the recommended placement instructions.
