OK... so my baby is a girl, and i've been reading a lot of post now... and well i was wondering.

What exactly is a "belly band" and what does it do? and what is it used for?

Ive never heard of them before joining this site - it seems like they are a band of stretchy material that fits round the dogs lower belly covering where they wee from - you can buy pads made for them or some ladies use sanitory towels or panty liners ! I guess the its the same principal and you can get them cheaper.
They are handy if say visiting a friends house and you dont want the chance of any accidents at all or while travelling etc

Belly bands are used for males. I don't use it for actual bathroom problems. I have fully house trained mine, but it is used to control marking...

It's for boy dogs. You can put a little pad in them. Little girls wear diapers.

Belly bands are for boy doggies like my Simon who likes to hike his little leg up in my apartment

I put a sanitary pad in it and it keeps him from being the little pee machine he is!

Belly bands are for males. You want pantie diapers if you have a girl

I knew that the belly bands are for boys, but i never actually knew what they were used for. So basically the purpose of these belly bands is so that they can't pee around the house ? is this belly band absorbant like what happens if they pee wearing the band.

This belly band thing is defently new too me, i have a girl and obvisouly don't have any trouble with her marking.

Sorry if these questions sound a little dumb

It's not dumb at all! I didn't know what they were either for a long time

I use them for Simon b/c he likes to mark in the house sometimes. He has never used the bathroom wearing it, I take it off when I'm watching him or I'm home and can keep my eye on him.
