Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is DryClip™?

    DryClip™ is a reusable, ultra-light diaper-mounted sensor that detects moisture using capacitive sensing.
    It clips 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 my baby?

    No.
    DryClip sits on the outside of the diaper.
    No metal touches the baby. 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 — DryClip is fully reusable and rechargeable.

  • Does DryClip™ work with all diaper brands?

    Yes.
    DryClip works with:

    - disposable diapers

    - cloth diapers

    - overnight diapers

    - premium brands

    - budget brands

    Anything that absorbs moisture will trigger DryClip’s capacitive sensor.

  • Does DryClip require Wi-Fi?

    No.
    DryClip uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to communicate directly with your phone or monitor.

  • Do I need a subscription?

    No subscription is required for basic wet/dry alerts.

    A $0.99/month optional plan unlocks:

    - event history greater than 3 days

    - sleep/wet correlations greater than 3 days

    - multi-child tracking

  • Does DryClip store my data?

    Your data stays on your device unless you choose to enable cloud sync.
    DryPing 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 reduce diaper rash by notifying you as soon as moisture is detected, preventing prolonged exposure to wetness — the #1 cause of rash.

  • Does DryClip replace my baby monitor?

    No — it complements it.
    DryClip gives you real-time moisture intelligence, something baby monitors can’t provide.

  • Can DryClip be used for elderly or medical patients?

    Yes — the same capacitive sensing technology scales to:

    - elderly care

    - immobile patients

    - hospital and NICU environments

    Future versions will support these use cases.
