| For those of you who use belly bands, Question for you please :) So Jesse is wearing a belly band because he isn't trained to go on a pad inside, until I can figure out how to pad train him I'll use bands. I was wondering which pads you all find the best? I've tried several, some are to bulky, some are to thin! I don't want to buy the expensive ones either because he goes through them so quickly! Any suggestions?

| I did that before my BB arrived, but I found it looked really bulky, so I cut up the left over diapers and used them as pads inside the BB..If I can't find a good inexpensive pad I may have to do that again because it worked well!

| I will put a belly band on Levi occasionally, usually only as a courtesy if we are at someone else's house and they are concerned he'll potty on their floor. I use regular feminine pads (if they are long, I'll trim them down a bit) - but he's also never really gone potty while wearing a belly band, so if Jesse is still learning, you might want something a bit bulkier.

| Hey Darlene, I don't know if Jesse hikes, but I have a couple of clients with male yorkies that are pad trained, and hike...The smaller one, Harley, goes on a pad that is on the floor, in the bathroom, and about 1/3 of the pad is put up, against the wall...It works great for him, because he's only 3 1/2 lbs (btw, he's 9 1/2 years old!)....The other one, Max, is about 8 lbs. and his mom has a low tupperware container, about the size of a pad, and has the lid to the container set at an angle, inside the container, leaning against the wall...That works for him...If I didn't explain that well, I'll take a picture of it, and send it to you, next time I sit for them...(October 1st)...Hope this info give you some ideas...Maggie & Co... |

| I think this is what I use, too. It's the Walmart brand of Poise incontinece pads and they work much better than anything else I've tried and much less expensive than the Poise brand name. They come in different absorbency sizes - I always buy the thickest and cut them into smaller pieces, but you could try a thinner size for little Jesse. Overall, incontence pads work much better than feminine sanitary pads IMO.

The Options are the ones I prefer, but I know people who like Poise. I see the question was asked about thickness....the Options pads are definitely thicker than Poise.

For Bailey I have a pee pad put into a big container, something like a kitty litter box, but bigger so when Bailey lifts his leg it can't leak out. Jesse never marks, and when he goes pee he squats a lot and will hike once in awhile. The thing with Jesse is he is not indoor trained, hence the BB

| That was just my experience! Other people may have had better luck..Jesse is only a tad over 3lbs, so not a lot of pee..I'm sure they must work for some though, otherwise they wouldn't sell

| I want to say the ones I buy are called 'ultimate' absorbency, but I'm not certain - they are pretty thick but I use them on little Tate who's just over 4 pounds and he does well with them. The front of the package should have a little diagram that shows the difference between absorbencies. I just used that as a guide. Good luck!
