| Belly bands...measurements? How big are the belly bands you have for your little guy? I'm going to start making belly bands, but I was wondering how big they are? Length and width? These are some measurements I've found, but are they correct? XS 15" x 4" fits 8-12" around S 17" x 4" fits 10-12" around M 19" x 4" fits 12-15" around L 21" x 4.5" fits 15-18" around XL 24" x 4.5" fits 19-21" around Thank you |

| I guess I posted my question wrong. I don't have a male, but I'm going to make belly bands to sell. I was wondering if those were good sizes to make. |

I know I have purchased from sellers who have them pre-made but they usually don't fit. They are either too large or too small. I now get them custom made to his waist size. Another thing, make sure there is room for the pad. Just let them know it may take a little longer as you have to make them Good luck

| Yes they are advising that you make a few samples, have a nice fabric selection then take orders. The customer will provide you w/the measurments, then you allow extra for seam & velcro over lapping that way you dont make a bunch of sizes no one needs, you make one when you get a order the size they ask & send it out, see? |
