I had a piece of heavy cotton material that was then 17 inches long, and 8 inches wide. Folded the material down the middle length-wise, folded over about 1/2 in on the long cut edge, and sewed straight down the length of the bans, and then across both ends so it doesnt unravel. Then I got velcro....2 - two inch wide strips, 3 inches long....and sewed them side by side at one end....and sewed the other piece of velcro on the other end, other side of the band. Then I put an Always heavy duty pad over pups penis, and held it in place with the belly band, overlapping the ends and securing it with the velcro. VERY CRUDE production, but it works and was VERY cost effective! (I also used an old bra, cut around the bra so I had a band of elastic, without the bra cups, and I wrapped it around the dog and used the hook and eye thingies already on the bra sra to secure the ends!) |
LOL Nope this sounds like it's about my level of sewing. I couldn't sew a straight line to save my life.
I had wondered about doing something like this but I wasn't sure if it would leak or not or if it needed to have elastic in it. I'll give it a try, thanks.
