Are there some where they have the pad built in and you just buy a couple and switch one with another and wash the 1 he just wore?

I use the kind that you place the sanitary napkin in and just replace the napkin. Having more than one belly band does seem necessary. I prefer the velcro closure as to a "snap" type. That way you get just the right fit.

I have made waterproof ones with the pad built in. It costs a little extra, but saves buying the pads all the time. Let me know if you want any. I did make some for a YT'r for her trip to the KC meetup.

I agree that you need a few at least. I don't know what the waterproof ones are like, but I do know that I don't want wetness or bacteria (we live in a very warm albeit, dry climate) on my dog's skin for very long. I made my own and use Poise pantiliners and change them when they get very wet. The regular bellybands are washable so if you have a few, it won't matter if it gets wet (which they all will). Actually, I made a WHOLE BUNCH for Madison b/c they're so cute and there's so many cute fabrics and they WORK!!! Plus it's nice to just toss one that's gotten damp into the laundry and use another one.

I have about 4 or 5 for Winston and use the maxi pad liners. If the wee wee wrap stays dry, I can put a new maxi on, but a lot of times, I will have to change the wee wee wrap too, if it moves a little to the side and misses the maxi. They are very helpful though!

I agree...they are very helpful and they save alot of marriages (grumpy husband, ump)! When Rocky is wearing his he lifts his little leg and it just seems so cute because he's so small, but without his wee wee wrap I'd be chasing him all the time.

I wish they came in disposable like baby diapers. (especially for travel)
I have about 10. I use poise pads and wash them frequently. I don't put them in the dryer because they shrink and wear out faster.
