Diapers? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I had to get Venus a diaper today. We are having to go to my uncles and stay with him, and I don't want her to make any booboo's on their new carpet.

This thing is an xxsmall. And oh...she don't like that thing either! Its quite tight too. Are they supposed to be that tight?

I know several here usually put a pad in them. There is no way pad will fit in this thing! I'd be lucky to get a kleenex in it.

She'll be 7 months this weekend. And lately, started peeing on my bed at night. Thank God my comforter is washable! But for that, I started crating her at night again. I hate it, but can't wash every day, and she needs to get trained NOT to do this. I have pet stairs, and leave a light on so she can find the potty pad, but still, going on the bed. I noticed this morning she didn't pee in her crate last night!

So my questions are, 1) are diapers supposed to be that tight? and 2) if so, what types of pads or kleenex what do you put in them?

Sounds like the diaper is too small if you cannot put a pad in there. I'd exchange it before you let her get it fuzzy

Good luck

There should definitely be room for a pad. The ones I use have velcro fasteners that allow plenty of room for a pad. If they are too tight, she will be darned uncomfortable and liable to tell you off!!

Uh, she's already told me off

K, back to Petsmart!

I make diapers and I know for a fact that a full pad will not fit in there. However, you can cut up the pad to fit and that should suffice for the night. They are mostly asleep and if they do wake up it is still good to take her to the pee pad as supposed to getting used to the diaper. The diaper will only serve as a back-up if there are days you don't realize she is up and wanting to go and you are like zoked out

Might be cutting these to fit, cause I'll be darned if I was going to pay over $5 bucks for a box of panty liners from Petsmart!! Are they crazy?? Mind you after I had to pay 30 bucks for a dang diaper that was big enough for her. The cheaper diapers, didn't have room at all for any kind of a pad, as they were barely 2 fingers wide on the front. So I got

And for baby wipes...in the pet dept at walmart, they 5 bucks. Go to the baby dept...found a big box for just under 2 bucks.

Swear, I will need a whole suitcase for their stuff alone for 12 days.

Why does everything cost a fortune when it has something to do with dogs?

If she EVER needs another diaper, I will make it!

Wow, $30 that is quite outrageous. I actually have mine on sale right now for only $8.50. As for liners/pads, I just use whatever I use . . .no need to get special pads for them

Well our furbabies are really tiny so you can't expect so much width down there

Bnot · 01-08-2007, 01:09 PM

Had I thought ahead of time, I'd got some from you! Would have gladly paid $8.50 a pair. And you probably have some pretty ones, lol.

But thinking ahead of time, is not me.

Can't use what I use, cause since my hysterectomy, I've needed nothing but plain ol undies!

Bnot · 01-08-2007, 01:19 PM

OMG, I went to your website, and yep.....they pretty darn cute! Wish I'd thought ahead of time.

Hit me the other night, after she'd peed in my bed, I was going to have to do something....but wasn't sure what. I know at my uncles, I'm pretty sure the comforters are dry-clean ones. And with poo, she's a walking pooper. She starts out on the pad...and it lands where it lands.

They just had the house redone since Katrina. They are on the river, so house was stripped to bare studs. It had 3 foot of water in it. I don't want her to mess up the new flooring, or the new carpet.

Sure wish I'd though of this ahead of time! I could have got plenty of those things from you for what I paid at Petsmart.

But I did bookmark your webpage!
