How long do you leave the shirt on? A borrowed one was too small but calmed her anxiety almost instantly. Do you leave on always if anxiety is always?

My dog did not like hers, but the directions say not to leave them on long periods of time. I thought it would be helpful for her when we are out of town but she could not wear it that long according to directions.

I mostly used mine overnight - when my dog is agitated and barking in the evening, it is usually 90% effective for us to stop barking. now I only have to use it every few weeks, it was more in the beginning. i am not sure it is safe to have it on all the time, I would at least take it off every few hours as a change.

Well depends. When ever there having anxiety. Take off at bed time if not needed. Make sure if your dog has long hair you brush out daily. Or hair will become knotted.

I'm a small D and its pretty comfortable. I wear it everywhere. I think it would be matter of opinions....baby uses my breast as hand rest when riding.....hope this helps.

It depends on your flow. On heavy days, I change ever couple hours but in light days I can go all day. I usually rinse it every 6 hours whether it needs it or not though because it feels more sanitary and helps keep odor to a minimum. But I can wear them overnight and not have any issues.

Hi Amy. I do have a slight bump. So to cover that I just folded a blanket in half to prevent my girl from feeling it.

I keep mine on my shirt and feel it all the time. I'm not sure if you will be able to if you place it on your belt. I know my husband had problems when he did on his belt. But not when it was on his waistband. So from the both of us you are in go mode. BTW he changed back from his previous case for just that reason.

No, I wore it under a clothing all the time. With the clothing on top it will feel a bit tight. But after a little while you will get used to it. Hope this answered your question.

I have two of these for two dogs that suffer anxiety. One was a biter when I got him as an adult Chihuahua the other is terrified of loud noises like thunder, etc. The trick is to train the dog to love the shirt first and recognize it as safe. Give a treat every time he wears the shirt for a few minutes and praise, praise, praise him so he understands it is good, not punishment for a bad deed. It works and works well IF you take the time to work with the dog in the beginning with the shirt on.

I'm fat too and I haven't had any problem with it coming off. I put it high on my hip, where there are no rolls, on my abdomen, high up by my breasts, and by my belly button. The problem I've had is it only works for 1-2 days. I wonder if this is related to a higher dose being needed if you are overweight.

As I have been wearing the Zip, either at the top of my bra cup at the base of a strap or at the center of the bra, tucked down between the cups, I have had zero discomfort and it has never fallen off or otherwise come loose. Most of the time, I forget I'm wearing it and my biggest worry is that I will forget to take it off the bra I am wearing and it will end up in the wash! :)

I have small breasts, so I can't answer for you. Since it's from Amazon, you can probably return it if it isn't satisfactory, but it's heavy so the return shipping would be significant.

I place it around my toddlers ankle when she is sleeping and place a sock over it. Anything around her neck while she is sleeping still makes me nervous. Otherwise it is always around her neck.

I would go with the smaller of the two. I did the same with mine and it stretches out a bit much. I wound up going to petsmart and buying the newer version "Thundershirt Dog Anxiety Treatment". It was cheaper than online to my surprise. I still wound up buying larger than I should have, but it's not as difficult to put on, and I can adjust the fit even more in several places. But to your question. Yes go with the smaller size. And the the rest is just unsolicited free advice. :-)

Thanks for your help! I used this for the first time yesterday. May have over done it by staying on at easy leavel about 5 minutes. My legs are sore today :). But I do feel different. I have high hopes with this!

I wear mine clipped in the middle of my bra, with the face turned in toward my body. I wear it there everyday. Nobody has noticed that it's there, and it doesn't interfere with my clothes at all.

Look for Simple Wishes pumping bra online, great bra! Just be sure not to walk away from what doing (I like to computer surf while pumping) b/c you forget your attached to the pump! I did that a couple times, sometimes loosing my milk and practically breaking my pump. Better yet, do your pumping over a soft surface if possible, JIC.

Not sure as I have a German Shepherd but one thing I can say is: don't put it on for hours unless there is a bad weather or other issue for which you purchased the shirt. I believe this may be the reason why it doesn't work on some dogs as they seem to use it as a jacket/coat! When I received it, I put it on to test for about 1/2 hour and then only when it was a bad weather (as this was my issue). And make a point to tell the pet when he starts shaking that you are going to put on the thundershirt (call it the dog's name i.e. the Brandy shirt for my dog Brandy). Hope this helps, and don't forget you can return it if it doesn't work. Keep the box and paperwork for the time of the return policy.

Is the sizing what you were before pregnancy? I don't know which to order. I measured 33 inches around my waist (going right over my belly button, not under my ribs) before pregnancy. I'm 6 months and already 40inches around belly button. Should I get small or medium? I'd appreciate anyone's help deciding! Thanks!!
