It holds the dressing in place (with no tape on the dressing for people that are allergic to tape)....You could put a sanitary pad over his "sprinkler system", and then pull this "elastic tube sock thing" over the sanitary pad...it would adjust to the babys larger rib cage area, cover the sanitary pad securely, and also fit snugly around his narrow waist area......
I've just recently bought some, I'm allergic to adhesives, this is a great product. I've seen it called "Tender Tape" there might be other names. It comes in a range of thicknesses. All Terrain, Tender Tape 2 in x 5 yards | healthdesigns.com - Your Health Is Here
