One half of the liner, which is polyethylene, has a pulp- wood pad affixed to it, and that half of the liner is elasticized. The end that is not elasticized has an adhesive tab at each side to attach that end of the diaper to the other end. There is another adhesive tab at the center of the elasticized end. There is a hole in the middle of the liner for the dog's tail. A pouch is formed by an extra piece of polyethylene located under the dog's tail.
