I agree that you need a few at least. I don't know what the waterproof ones are like, but I do know that I don't want wetness or bacteria (we live in a very warm albeit, dry climate) on my dog's skin for very long. I made my own and use Poise pantiliners and change them when they get very wet. The regular bellybands are washable so if you have a few, it won't matter if it gets wet (which they all will). Actually, I made a WHOLE BUNCH for Madison b/c they're so cute and there's so many cute fabrics and they WORK!!! Plus it's nice to just toss one that's gotten damp into the laundry and use another one.
