What wonderful things do you have to tell me about diapers. I'm listening.
Okay, I don't tell many people this (shhhhhhh.....)

But Bernie has incontinence issues. Not just pee, but pooh too .

We knew this when we got him, and now that he's been here a bit I've sort of figured out his schedule, so he's not in diaps all the time, just bedtime and when we're gone for hours.

Now, for him it's not behavioral, for THAT I recommend crate training (check out the excellent advice I gave on that thread, JK, lol), but you can imagaine that I've researched diapers. For our particular problem, those lovely doggie diapers with a hole for the tail (which, btw is in the same area where the pooh falls out) were worthless. So, I started buying these:

They aren't cheap, but they wash up really nice. In the beginning I bought one of each (and they come really small, even premie size if necessary) and that was sufficient. Since this may be a long term problem with Bernie, I went ahead an invested in a few more pairs. But honestly we were doing fine with 2. Now, since he's a boy, he also wears a belly band, but your furgirls parts would all be covered up nicely.
