Good Place To Order Belly Bands?

Hi again, all. My one-year-old Papillon mix seems mostly potty trained (I’ve had him for about two weeks, and he started out not housetrained, so I’m proud of him). :) He’s crate-trained and stays in the crate when I go out. However, every so often he still has accidents when he’s out of the crate (e.g., when we’re playing in the apartment). I’ve heard belly bands can be good housetraining tools–I’m also taking him to my parents’ house in a few weeks and want to keep him from marking in the new environment. (Marking typically isn’t a problem for him, since he’s neuteured; however, my parents have a dog so I didn’t know if that might bring out any latent marking tendencies in him.)
Anyway, it doesn’t seem that belly bands are sold at most typical petstores–I’ve found a few independent vendors online, but wasn’t sure who to go with. Any recommendations? And have belly bands worked for those of you who have young male dogs with similar occassional lapses in housetraining?

    The website below has a great selection of belly bands. They can be a very useful tool, especially for small-breed male dogs.
