1. A device for detecting moisture comprising:
- a detection layer, a base, a control device, and a cord;
said detection layer comprises a first outer surface and a second outer surface, said first outer surface and said second outer surface having a plurality of sensor divots disposed therein to detect moisture wherein at least a portion of the opposing sides of the outer surfaces are joined together to create a sleeve; and
a plurality of circuits disposed between said first outer surface and said second outer surface and being connected to said sensor divots, said plurality of circuits being insulated; and
a first inner conductive layer and a second inner conductive layer being disposed between the first outer surface and said second outer surface; and
said plurality of circuits being connected to said base, wherein the base is configured to receive a moisture detection signal from said plurality of circuits; and
wherein the cord is attached to the base and connected to the control device;
said control device receiving said moisture detection signal from said base and notifying a user that said moisture has been detected.

Abstract
A moisture alert device that has a number of moisture detecting sensor divots around the outside of the device where the sensor divots are connected to insulated circuits within the device that transmits a moisture detections signal to a base, the base sending the signal to a control device, which in turn sends the moisture detection signal to a user by visual, auditory or tactile means. In some cases, the moisture detection signal transmitted to a wireless receiving device. The device can be a wearable garment such as a vest, or in other situations, the device can be a bed component such as a pillow case.
