Our toy poodle has 17 1/2 years of experience in being a puppy. As a result of her age, she is having more pee-pee accidents lately, while her people are at work. I purchased this 2-pack of cover-ups, size Small. We use Carefree panty shields as an absorbent liner, and this system works wonderfully well. For size small, a regular maxi-pad would be way too long; the panty shield provides perfect coverage of the panties. I'm sure a regular maxi would be more appropriate in larger sizes.

These panties require putting Brandy's tail through the opening, then pulling the sides up from her belly and attaching the two velcro tabs on her back.

Brandy doesn't seem to mind wearing her cover-ups after we get them on, so they must be pretty comfy, but some days she is less than cooperative in letting me put her tail into the opening. But since she has hip displasia & some arthritis, this is often easier than if we had to put her hind legs into openings. I also have to be careful and check the fit carefully when I get the cover-ups on, as it is easy (with all her fur) to bind her leg joint. But if I pay attention, and check her when I get them fastened, it is easy & quick to make any needed adjustments.

Size info: Brandy weighs about 6 3/4 pounds, and has a small waist. I ordered Small based on previous reviews (especially the reviews on the XS ordering page), and they fit perfectly. Ordering one size up worked for us. The available velcro area is fairly wide, so any given size will have lots of lee-way in fit.

These panties are very effective for pee-pee accidents, but definitely, the cover-up product is only for little girl dogs; boy dogs should use a wrap. I can't speak to the product's effectiveness for poop accidents, as that has not been tested at our house, thankfully. They would also work extremely well for when a little girl is in heat.

I generally hand wash the soiled cover-ups in the bathroom sink. But they take several hours to air-dry. I did put one pair in the washing machine & dryer (in a mesh lingerie bag), with success, though they picked up some lint in that process, but it wasn't bad. I will certainly machine wash again in the future. Be advised that the purple color does run the first few times it is washed, so sort accordingly.

We also have Petego Hot Pants for the same purpose Petego Hot Pants Dog Panties, Small, 10 Inches. The Petego Hot Pants are definitely cuter, though both products work well. Petego Hot Pants require putting her hind legs into openings to get them on.

I was disappointed with these for two reasons. The old diapers were made of denim, lined with cotton. They were sturdy, held their shape for inserting pads, and covered the "crotch" area well. The new ones are made of polyester, are flimsy and don't cover as well.

Secondly, these are smaller than the original denim diapers. I bought the same size and they didn't fit nearly as well.

I suppose the new fabrics are cheaper to use, but the old denim was of much better quality.

From Brampton's website:

New and improved with a more absorbent core and better fit

* Microfiber, lightweight fabric with repositionable closures and a tail hole for ultimate comfort

Bottom line they're flimsy and don't covere as well.

Best Deals for Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups or Washable Diapers, Small

I have 4 dogs, 2 with bladder control issues. One dog has 3 of the denim (old style) washable diapers, they are great and work wonders just they are 1 for about 17 bucks. I can almost agree with that price after buying these for my other dog.

The main points where the product is no longer as great would be with absorbancy. I now have to use a pad no matter what in the covers, they wash and dry much faster but I was not out to do more laundry. The colours are great and vibrant and now after about 6 washes the colour is still vibrant. Just these weren't exactly bought for fashion and style. They do fit the same as the old ones, so sizing was not greatly affected. Of course they still run small though. My sheltie wears a medium and my pom wears a small. If I went by the pack sizes both dog would be a size down respectively.

If you don't mind having to use a pad all the time and you are not as forgetful as some these are great. If you forget at points search out the denim ones, they may be cost more per diaper but so much better in over all absorbancy and just worth it.

One thing, just make sure to measure your dog and go up if her midsection is right on or close to the larger end of the cover. I honestly would not go by the breed sizing guide at all if another one of my dogs needed diapers. Hopefully none of the girls will though. Luckily though if it happens I now know my options in full, denim for bad incontinence and these for light leaks.

I have only used these for incontinence and not for heat issues. My review is strictly about use for incontinence.

Honest reviews on Simple Solution Washable Cover-Ups or Washable Diapers, Small

I purchased these diapers for incontinence for my older dog. Size small fits a 5 lb maltese. They are adjustable which is really nice. If using for urination problems, you must use a disposable pad (I use Tena incontinence pads and cut them in half)or for lighter accidents you can use a feminine napkin cut in half. These diapers wash nicely and the velcro is strong and will last for a long time. I have six of these diapers and love them and highly recommend them. They are soft for her skin and wrap around her nicely so they don't slip off like the disposable diapers.

We have 4 Havanese, 3 of which are female. We plan on breeding, but not for sale we've found the breed to be amazing, durable dogs that are nothing short of amazing with autistic children (so it's more of a cause for us). Anyway, luck would not have it that our 3 girls would 'sync up' on their heats so we're looking at 9 weeks every 6 months we're going to have to seperate our pups (and we don't plan on breeding any before 2 years of age, so there's all those heats we would have to seperate before they're old enough to breed). I hate keeping the kiddies apart, they miss each other so much, and it's hard to decide how to 'divide' them up so that no one is lonely. I tried these washable cover-ups, in conjunction witht he Simple Solution male wrap.... YAY! my puppies are sooo happy. They don't notice their new apparel at all, and we've had no pregnancies after 2 heats. Now, I wouldn't suggest using these wraps by themselves the disposable pads (I use feminine pads with wings because they stay put and seem to hold more)are a must, but I you have to check and change every couple of hours. I don't condone leaving a poor little dog in a wet knappy all day! They work for what they are intended, and they work for other forms of 'protection' as well.
