Can we talk about
Dog Diapers?
Great Fit Dog Diapers were created to allow freedom of movement while keeping your dog comfortable and clean. While attending dog shows, I used to watch dog after dog stiffen up or cringe when it came to stuffing their tails through the holes of the usual dog panties. Instead of accepting the status quo, I designed something different; straps that come around the tail instead of the tail threading through the hole.
Turns out these dog britches are great for fitting all types of dogs because they are so adjustable. They can be worn with or without crossing to accommodate straight builds or very tucked individuals. Even better, these diapers anchor at the waist instead of the tail so they are also great for dogs without tails. And since there is velcro adjustment for the straps, growing pups can wear them from their first cycle right on through adulthood.
To put them on, the straps are first wrapped around the waist. Then the tail straps are pulled up on either side of the tail and attached to the velcro at the waist. These britches are designed to sit in front of the hip bones so they can use anatomy to help keep them in place.
I use soft cotton fabrics, mostly flannel, to make these britches so they will stay nice and soft; not rubbing or chafing sensitive skin. For the same reason, I avoid elastic or waterproofing. Instead, to collect the flow, a human pantiliner with sticky backing is placed in the appropriate area and can just be changed as needed. Although my diapers are washable and reusable, using a pad means less frequent laundering. I can even make these in manly colors and dimensions for incontinent boys.
Take a look at my website, www.madebyde.com, to see current fabrics, measurement diagram and other pertinent info for ordering. If your dog (and you) has to deal with heat cycles, at least it can be a little more comfortable and stylish.
