Male Wrap, Dog Belly Band - Housetraining/Housebreaking Aid

**Disclaimer: my dog in the pic is a whippet and is supposed to have low body fat. He also currently is elderly and has IBD, so he's slightly underweight from major digestive issues that are being treated by a vet. He will gain some weight as soon as we can get him to hold down food.**Firstly, this company sent me a USED belly band. It arrived with dog hair already in it and snags from the Velcro. This is disgusting and a terrible business practice, but that's a reflection on the company, not the actual product, and I didn't factor that into my rating. I am, however, salty about receiving a used product.So here's an actual product review: I purchased this specific belly band because I wanted one that would be very soft all around, with no elastic, and that I could use a maxi pad with so I didn't have to wash the thing three times a day. I guess I can't claim this band doesn't deliver on that front. Those are the only positives. Yes, it's nice and soft. Yes, it fits well and is flexible/stretchy enough that it doesn't get all wonky when my pup is lying down or all curled up for a nap. It must not bother him at all because he doesn't seem to care that he has it on. And it stays on for the most part except when it gets full and heavy from a full bladder release.Now for the negatives, which highly outweigh the positives. It's CHEAP. The material, though soft, is thin and snags very easily. You have to wash the thing with the absorbent pad attached and the Velcro tabs attached to each other, otherwise it will catch itself, turn into a giant Velcro mess, and snag the heck out of the fabric. It's not hard to wash the whole thing intact, but since I'm using a maxi pad with it, I'd rather be able to wash just the absorbent insert by itself without ending up with a snagged up mess. Annoying. My pup dribbles all day from incontinence issues, so I want to be able to just change out the maxi pad. But if the maxi doesn't catch everything, you have to wash the whole thing. And the absorbent pad is decent but takes forever to dry. It's like a soft sponge covered with terry cloth.Secondly, the material stains badly. I have to scrub and scrub, and it's still yellowed and gross looking. And with all the scrubbing on the cheap, thin material, the seam along the edge is unraveling already. I've only used it for 3 days.Thirdly, do not expect the absorbent insert to hold a lot of volume of urine. It will not hold a full out pee attempt, and there is nothing about the material that makes it water proof or water resistant. So if it gets soaked, so will your furniture and your dog. As far as the design of this, I was ok with that fact since I wanted one that I could use a maxi pad inside. But this is just an FYI for buyers expecting it to hold a full bladder and be leak proof like an actual diaper. It will not.Another warning for buyers who want to try this with a maxi pad inside: DO NOT PUT THE STICKY SIDE OF THE MAXI PAD ON THE ABSORBENT INSERT. The adhesive on the maxi will glue itself to the terry cloth on the insert and will NOT come off. I had to put olive oil on it and scrape the adhesive off the cloth. What a mess. If you use a maxi pad, just place it between the absorbent insert and your dog's body with the paper backing still attached. It will stay put for the most part unless your dog is highly rambunctious.Overall I'm disappointed with this belly band, especially given the price. The design is what I wanted, but the quality is very poor.

This works great for my dog as a preventative, he peed in it once and that was during a really bad storm. We've been using it for about a month maybe two and that was the only mishap. If however, your dog will pee with a wrap on its not the best...it did leak all the way through though it might work for just a little pee. I like that the material is soft and he can move in it but he really doesn't like it. Overall it works for me, its done the job of stopping him marking in the house and doesn't irritate his skin. It is well made and super adjustable so i can leave it loose and i can just throw the whole thing in the wash.

With multiple dogs and some females that come into heat, this product is a lifesaver in that it prevents marking in the house during those periods. The only criticism I have is that it could be a titch wider for my guys, otherwise I really like it.

Belly wrap band works great! Really helped our young male dog stop trying to mark everything in our house. Very easy to clean, but it does look dirty if any urine leaks onto it so may have to be washed often.

Stays on more than others and it adapts to the body contours.I wish the velcro was just a little thicker in width. Maybe twice the size. You can never have enough!

The Wrap is well made. Quality of materials is good. My Bulldog wiggles right out of it however, so it doesn't do anything for us.

This wrap fits nicely, is made of soft comfortable fabric and washes well. It's very easy to put on and remove. Disposable pads are good to insert in this wrap too. I recommend it over several others I have tried for my granddog, a Boston Terrier.

Easy for arthritic hands to remove from the dog but caught dogs hair in the Velcro causing him to yelp when the belt was removed.
