I have got to use something for Choco! He is great about getting to the pad but not 100% there!

You can use any cotton print you like, then i use a layer of plastic so that the fluid won't seep thru the bellyband/diaper. then i use a soft diaper flannel that you can pick up at any wal-mart. First you cut your belly band (cotton print) to your desired length. Remember to cut it about 3-4" longer than your dogs waist or it won't have room to fasten. Then you put your plastic down (paper side down- you have to keep the paper on it or it wont go thru your sewing machine.) Then you put your flannel down then you put your cotton print upside down against the flannel. Cut the plastic and flannel to the size of the belly band and sew it. AFter that you take the paper off and turn it then you just finish it up by stitching the end and putting your velcro on it. I make them like this and sell them on e-bay but they are so easy to make and leak proof that i thought i would let you guy make your own hehe. If you don't want to make your own i can make them for you.
