  • Publication number: 20100229803
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an animal diaper comprises a main body having an upper end, a lower end, an upper portion positioned towards the upper end, a lower portion positioned towards the lower end, an absorbent portion, a tail opening, and an axis extending between the upper and lower ends. The animal diaper also includes first members extending from the lower portion for coupling to the upper portion and second members extending from the lower portion between the first members and the lower end, distal ends of the second members having cooperating fasteners for coupling together. In addition, a spacing between the first and the second members along a wearing animal's back is less than a width of one of the second members measured in a direction parallel to the axis when the wearing animal is standing, and the spacing increases as the wearing animal moves towards a sitting position.
