| Satin Belly band by Chattiesmom!! I have been looking for satin belly bands because I find that the other material is beginning to dry out/break Bobbi's coat around his belly (compared to the rest of his body). He has free roam of the house in these.......so I find it a necessity and prevention just in case he ever wants to lift that leg inside What a surprise it was to get these in the mail yesterday!! Chattiesmom (Cindy) has designed the cuttest belly band for Bobbi. The material is very nice and soft against his coat. The middle of the belly band has a curvature for extra 'protection' against that covers the entire his 'manhood'. The velcro is like glue (very difficult for them to unsnap undo them). It won't rotate around the belly or start stretching like other materials.....yet, it's super comfortable and he moves freely. It is adjustable and the velcro is plentiful (wide enough to allow growth and ajusting without having to go out and buy a bigger size). I have found this velcro much more stronger than the ones I have been using. My boy tends to go rub his back onto things and undos them (smart cookie!!). I do take care of his belly bands though......I have found that if stick them in the drier at any setting the velcro just doesn't work the same afterwards. Also, it's a drag to wash and dry them separately and then having to pluck all the lint off of the velcro........I hand wash them in the sink and air dry them When it's on, the belly band has a 'belt loop' that gives it a little more security as well. I will attach pictures so you could get an idea Lastly, I loved the color!! It looks slightly purple in the pictures do to the flash. It really is a soft gold color and it does give off other colors as he walks into the sun etc.......super cute! It matches his coat coloring so I like it even more All in all, these are superb belly bands. I highly recommend this material for your furboys coat and if you have a sneaky little guy like Bobbi........you will appreciate the fact that he won't get these undone!! Two thumbs up to Chattiesmom belly bands........I really appreciate you sewing these for us and impressed with your work!!! Thank you Cindy, Jess and Bobbi

| Dupioni Silk Belly Bands :) Jess -- Thank you so very much for your kind words. I hope that the LLLOOONNNGGG wait was worth it. When I am designing new products, I have to work out all the "kinks" and be sure they work before I send them out for testing. I have one other sweet YTer who has agreed to help me with the Testing of the bands -- Girl, you know who you are and your bands for your two sweet little dudes will be in the mail early next week. What I can't get over is how absolutely STUNNING your Bobbi is. He has an incredible coat! I think you will find that the Dupioni Silk that I use is very gentle on the hair and will not cause the breakage and matts that other fabrics cause. The jury is out -- I'll be anxious to hear the verdict. |

| I just sent you a pm. The belly bands are still in R & D and I would prefer not to post pictures of the underside yet. Once I have finished with my test market and have offered them to the public, I will be posting more pictures. |

| Wow it looks great and sounds great too!! Bobbie has a beautiful coat!! I have noticed that when I put the regular bellybands on Scampers that it does matt his hair really bad so this would be great to have someday because it won't matt his hair. How is the absorbtion?? You still put a pad on it right?? Scampers loves marking when in a new house or surrounding so his bands get quite wet. And just like Bobbi he loves rubbing against things, he will even rub his whole body against the floor to try and get them off, lol.

| Great work Cindy!! I'd be interested how Jaden would react to these. He's so finicky about belly bands and seems like he always tries to rub them off I wonder if the Duponi silk would work for him? His coat is like satin, very silky, so I'm wondering if it'd slide off or not |

I find that to be a problem with Bobbi too. However, I found that I cannot use cowboy magic or any type of oil on him or it weight his hair down and make him look greasy. I don't use anything on him other than his shampoo/conditioner. I blow dry with an ionic dryer. I am going to give the ice on ice a try though.......I hear it's great
