Choose Your Style: Wrap-Around vs. Bikini

To ensure your bird has the best experience, we offer two distinct styles tailored to their activity level and species:

• The Wrap-Around Hen Holster: This style wraps securely around your bird's tail, offering the ultimate adjustability over the vent. It covers the oil gland and is the ideal choice for ducks, geese, and active chickens. The Wrap-Around design is highly adjustable and the most "forgiving" style regarding sizing.
• The Bikini Hen Holster: A lighter, "bikini bottom" diaper that sits comfortably below the tail. This style features two adjustable straps and leaves the oil gland uncovered, making it perfect for chickens who preen frequently. Note: The Bikini style is not suitable for ducks or geese and requires precise sizing to ensure it stays securely in place.

Why Owners Love the "All-in-One" Permanent Liner

• Zero Shifting = Zero Leaks: Because the liner is permanently sewn-in, it cannot bunch up, slide around, or fall out. This makes it the #1 choice for active birds who move around a lot.
• Nothing to Lose: No inserts to misplace in the wash. It's a simple, one-piece solution.
• Surprising Speed: Many owners report this style dries faster after washing than the thick removable liner pads!

Tips for a Perfect Fit & Success

• The "Statue" Phase (Don't Panic!): When you first put it on, your bird might freeze, walk backward, or act "paralyzed." This is 100% normal! Give them treats and 15-30 minutes to adjust. They will soon forget they are wearing it.
• Looks Small? Try it on! The design is meant to be snug to prevent leaks. Many owners think it looks too small out of the package—please try it on your bird first!
• Liner Logic: You don't need to wash the whole diaper every time! Just wipe the vinyl liner clean or swap it out for a fresh one.
• Secure Fastening: For fluffy birds, smooth the feathers down where the straps sit to get the most secure Velcro grip. Ensure straps are snug but allow one finger to slide underneath.
• First Time User? Choose Wrap-Around! If you are new to diapers or unsure of size, the Wrap-Around style is much more adjustable and forgiving than the Bikini style.

Which Hen Holster Style Is Right for Your Bird? Bikini or Wrap Around?

Both are harness-style diapers with a permanent liner and a soft, flexible pouch that sits over your bird's vent:

• Simple all-in-one design - no liner swapping
• Softer, flexible pouch (if you need a pouch that holds it shape, opt for the one with vinyl liners)
• Perfect for chickens living indoors full-time
• Faster drying time
• Fewer parts to manage

The Wrap-Around Hen Holster diaper wraps around your bird's tail and offers the ultimate in adjustability over your bird's vent. This style covers the oil gland and is suitable for ducks, geese and active chickens. The wrap around diaper is much more adjustable than the bikini diaper and is more forgiving of sizing issues.

The Bikini Hen Holster diaper is a lighter 'bikini bottom' diaper that sits below your bird's tail. This style has two adjustable straps and does not cover the bird's oil gland. The Bikini style is better for chickens who preen often and is not suitable for ducks or geese. The Bikini style is less forgiving of sizing issues and may slip if too large.

⚠️ MUST KNOW INFO: Success with Indoor Chickens

Bikini vs. Wrap-Around: What's the Difference?

• Bikini Style: Sits below the tail and leaves the oil gland exposed. Best for Chickens who love to preen and need access to their oil gland to keep feathers healthy.
• Wrap-Around Style: Wraps around the tail securely. Mandatory for Ducks & Geese (who have wet droppings) and great for active chickens who need extra containment.

The "Statue" Phase: When you first put a harness on a bird, they often freeze or walk backwards. This is normal! Give them treats and 24 hours to adjust; they will soon forget they are wearing it.

Liner Logic: Our marine-grade vinyl liner holds its shape to prevent leaks and can be rinsed and wiped dry instantly—no need to wash the whole diaper every time!

⚠️ STOP: Watch the "Perfect Fit" Video Before First Use!

90% of "leaks" happen because the pouch is fastened too loosely. The diaper cannot slip if wrapped snugly. Watch the video in the FAQ tab below to see exactly how to angle the pouch and overlap the sides securely.
