A moisture detection system (11) of the invention provides a disposable wicked dual electrode strip as a sensor wick and conductor assembly (31) which can be used in conjunction with any type of diaper or garment. The dual electrode strip includes two conductive strips (41, 43) which have a wick located in contact with the conductive strips. Even a small amount of urine is absorbed by the wick and distributed between the conductive strips to quickly change the resistance between the strips. A detector/transmitter (35) engages the sensor wick and conductor assembly (31), and can use the sensor wick and conductor assembly (31) as a transmitting antenna for increased range at low power, to alert a receiver (13) carried by a care giver. |
