I use a belly band on my Riley & a diaper cover on my Lexi as neither can be trusted enough. I use the new Poise Thin-shape pads (turquoise pkg. rather than the pink as they are much thinner but absorb as well), regular length, a no. 5 maximum absorbency. I cut the pads in 4 pieces for Riley (3.5#) & in 2 pieces for Lexi (6#). I use paper tape on the raw edges.

I prefer the belly band over a diaper as they fit better & less area is covered on the furbaby. I make sure their tummies are shaved down. I use sensitive baby wipes on them. I have never had either get irritated skin thankfully.

I purchased a set of 4 really cute printed belly bands on ebay at a very reasonable price. I have some diaper covers I purchased at Petsmart. I also bought on ebay some really cute printed diaper covers with suspenders (reminescent of a baby sunsuit). These fit my little girl like they were made for her. I think they are more comfortable for her as well. They were less expensive than the Petsmart covers.
