How to Make a Pet Diaper

It may take time for pets to adjust to wearing a diaper.

While most people associate diapers with babies, there often comes a time when pets and their owners can benefit from placing a diaper on their furry friends as well. Female pets that are in heat or pets of either sex that have developed incontinence problems can create quite a mess on carpets, floors, furniture and bedclothes. To keep your house tidy during pet problems, you can make your own custom pet diapers at home.

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure
• Disposable baby diapers
• Magic marker
• Scissors
• Boys' fly-front briefs
• Self-adhesive feminine napkins

Modify a Disposable Diaper

1. Measure your pet's waist with a tape measure and record the circumference.

2. Purchase a pack of disposable baby diapers in the appropriate size. The measurement of the waist circumference range is typically on the package to help you attain the proper fit.

3. Place the diaper on your pet without pulling the tape off of the tabs to get an idea of the fit. Notice at what point the tail is, and make a mark on the diaper with a magic marker.

4. Fold the diaper in half at the point where you made the mark with the magic marker. Use a pair of scissors to cut a hole of the appropriate size for your pet's tail.

Boy's Fly-front Briefs and Feminine Napkins

1. Measure your pet's waist with a tape measure and record how many inches it is.

2. Purchase a package of little boy's brief underwear with the fly-front opening in the appropriate size.

3. Purchase a package of self-adhering feminine napkins in the appropriate size and thickness for your pet's situation -- thinner for pets in heat and thicker for incontinence problems.

4. Remove the paper tape on the feminine napkin and adhere it to the rear part of the briefs.

5. Place the briefs on your pet backwards, pulling the tail through the opening in the fly.
