DIY Custom Fitted Belly Band Dog Diaper FREE Tutorial
Belly bands are urinary diapers for male dogs. They wrap the midsection, are adsorbent (either near the privates or all over), and usually have a waterproof/resistant exterior to prevent leakage. Bands are commonly rectangular (straight edges), tapered, or boomerang. They may be a simple snug fit or use elasticized edges near the privates to create a pouch. The best shape and fit depends on the dog who will be wearing the band. Finding (or making) the right size and shape of belly band is essential to ensure it's comfortable for the dog and to reduce the risk of leaking.
