Urismom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Uri, age 13, has started leaking urine - not full accidents, just leakage when he sleeps. We're trying to manage it with Leaks No More drops and going outdoors every 3 hours for a pee, but overnights or longer stints, he still leaks. So we got a belly band and tried it yesterday and overnight for the first time. Sadly -- and he's mortified of course that I'm sharing this publicly -- it seems that Uri's penis is not long enough to stay inside the band! I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if I'm not putting it on him properly. When I wrap it around his waist, sliding it as far back towards his rear as his legs will allow, the tip of his penis is barely enclosed, and after a bit of moving around, it pops right out. This happens no matter how I adjust the snugness on the band. Basically I feel like the band can't be slid any further backwards on him, yet it just can't hold the tip in. Anyone else have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I wonder if a diaper or panties like girls wear would work better for him?

XTRAWLD Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Would simply putting an absorptive pad down on his bed help instead?

GeorgeofNE Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hmmm. Well, there are good belly bands and better belly bands, and probably lousy belly bands! George wore one for years, and trust me, he was not well endowed! I had mine custom made and asked the maker to use an elastic edge, like diapers, and it really helps. Use a Tena overnight stick on pad, and that should be good!! Otherwise, if he always sleeps and leaks in the same place, just use a hospital (fabric) pee catcher pad on his sleeping quarters!

mom2four Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Our big boy Ambi wears a belly band every night and he has no problems. I made his belly bands and put a big overnight Tena pad in. I wonder if your belly band is too narrow? Quote Tin and Michael and Lucas, Picasso, Hero, Oasis, Galina, Neizan, Enzo, Salvo and Noor the Galgos.

robinw Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I use disposable belly bands called Vet's Best. The edges are very stretchy like an accordion almost and the adhesive they use is really sturdy. Weenie size isn't a factor I order them on Amazon and my 55 pound guys use size medium. Quote Xavi the galgo and Peter the cat.

Urismom Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks all for the input! I tried on his sister's girl diapers but they fall/press back right on the tip of his weenie and I think that's probably not healthy. I don't mind continually washing his bedding and it's not really enough to make it like he's sleeping in a puddle. Most of the pee ends up on his belly or the inside of his thighs, depending on how he is laying. So my goal is mostly to wick the urine away from his skin so it's not irritating him (and also requiring constant bathing). That picture of the Vet's Best belly band is interesting - it looks like it reaches back behind the waist on the underside. I think that's what I need - the ones I have are a straight rectangle, but if they had a little flap that went backwards a bit on his underside, that might help. Maybe I can sew one on to help keep him covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeofNE Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If you're on Facebook, Carol Morris (lives in VA) made George's belly bands. I am not sure if she is still sewing, but she is a lovely lady and I bet she'd make you a George special! I'd offer to send you one, but I think I've already sent all but one of them out to people in need and you never know! Buck might not always have a 14 hour bladder.

FiveRoooooers Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Uri, it happens to the best of 'em Some belly bands are contoured. If you have one of those try switching up the orientation when you put it on him, that might help. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

mom2four Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi again, I took some photos of Ambi in his belly band. Do you think this would work for Uri? I've also attached a photo with the flap pulled back for the pad. Ambi's penis ends just before where the tip of the kleenex is. If this may help I'm willing to make you a couple. I can even contour the flap to go back further. Quote Tin and Michael and Lucas, Picasso, Hero, Oasis, Galina, Neizan, Enzo, Salvo and Noor the Galgos.

Urismom Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Aw, Ambi is so cute and doesn't look thrilled to be in these pictures....although I must say, I think he's better endowed than Uri! lol I'm a pretty handy sewer, so I think I need to add a contoured back flap onto the ones I got, or maybe try the Vet's Best one from Amazon, so something can reach back a bit more between his legs. Thank you very much for the offer though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2four Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 No problem!
