Those who make belly bands, or who have boys that wear them! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ok, someone break it down for me on how they make belly bands, I have an idea of how they are constructed. Do you have a "pocket" that you slip the liner/pad in? Is there a type of fabric I have to use? I know I need velcro. Heck if there is a site that shows me, please post it.
I have got to use something for Choco! He is great about getting to the pad but not 100% there!
Thanks ladies

I bought some for Reuger and they're made of flannel material with a thick padding in the middle and they are stitched all over really well. I take a pad with the sticky on the back and cut it in thirds. Then I peel off the backing and place in the belly band so it will cover his little boy parts. There's no pocket for it. It just stays put with the sticky. The ends of the belly band are velcro so it just wraps around him.

Here's a picture from ebay--

I hope that this helps.

I bought mine from e-bay (some on here sell them too), but I know that some on here just take a wash rag (or any piece of material or rag) and pin it around them. You could also put a pad in that as well. That should help until you get some ordered. They've really helped with Reuger. I especially love using them when I'm not at home.

I don't like belly bands. My little man started lift'n the leg and I went and got the little pants for female dogs. It worked perfect and it's washable. He looks so cute in them!

I just placed my second order for belly bands form www.barkindogclothes.com. They are cute, inexpensive AND free shipping. I have a little boy we are having a hard time housetraining and they have been a lifesaver!

You can use any cotton print you like, then i use a layer of plastic so that the fluid won't seep thru the bellyband/diaper. then i use a soft diaper flannel that you can pick up at any wal-mart. First you cut your belly band (cotton print) to your desired length. Remember to cut it about 3-4" longer than your dogs waist or it won't have room to fasten. Then you put your plastic down (paper side down- you have to keep the paper on it or it wont go thru your sewing machine.) Then you put your flannel down then you put your cotton print upside down against the flannel. Cut the plastic and flannel to the size of the belly band and sew it. AFter that you take the paper off and turn it then you just finish it up by stitching the end and putting your velcro on it. I make them like this and sell them on e-bay but they are so easy to make and leak proof that i thought i would let you guy make your own hehe. If you don't want to make your own i can make them for you.
