| EXTA WIDE Belly Bands??? Hi All, Does anybody know where I can obtain a few extra wide (4-6"+) belly bands? I have a little Hoodini that manages to l"eave his mark" so to speak with every single one that I have bought. I have measured each one and find that they are all 3-3.5" in width. So, my thought is that they are two short in width. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

| bellybands Most of the sites I've viewed had both premade and custom made bands. I'd just email one of them and request a band to your specifications. I've just ordered a belly band for my little boy, hope it works.... Good luck! |

| I use pads with wings. Seemed to solve the problem with drips that got on the edge.

| Thank You!!! I learn SO many valuable things here!!! This site is just GREAT!!! Trying the Tiggerwit's suggestion as we speak... But, have a feeling that I'll be placing an order from Tiger's Mom AND LitlbitRanch. They're adorable and SO many to choose from. |

| I actually have bands from Tiger's mom and they are great with the wings. Most especially at bed time. I've discovered though that I can't blame the kids anymore for leaving him in wet pads when I get home. When I picked him up for the groomer he was so excited he piddled everywhere and twice more while we were shopping. He's a leaker. I'm so glad that the kids aren't leaving him in the wet bands and excited that they capture everything when I get home. my carpet loves me right now.

I always make my belly bands 4-6 inches wide. The larger sizes I make 6 inches wide and the smaller sizes I make about 4.5- 5 inches wide

| Yes, the pads with wings work SOOO much better! It really stopped the leaking onto the bellyband....meaning less washing of his bellyband stock

| Extra wide belly bands available at... Dachsunds dressed for show. I hope I spelled Dachsunds right...if not, sorry! I raise Chihuahuas and I have bought several from this lady. They are really nice and she does not skimp on velcro. They stay on really nice. Teresa |

| I've finally learned to make these, and make Bernie's extra wide. They hold two pads side by side across the width...finally, no more drips.

| Kelly, my boys' belly bands are about 5 inches wide. I order them from Rena at index I just tell her what width and length I need it and she makes it for me. I then use a thick pad on the belly band to absorb moisture and just change the pad when it gets wet. It works great. The pad is scented as well so they stay smelling nice. The pads I get for them are StayFree Maxi Deodorant, 18 anti lock channels. They smell nice and are thick so they absorb a lot and stay dry.
