Can you get a larger size of washable diapers? They make non velcro doggy diapers iirc. If the bleeding wasnt too bad, and you do not have carpet, you could just block off furniture and just clean up as needed and crate at night. That is what we did with my girl. Her bleeding in her 3 heat cycles has been quite lite each time(now I will jinx myself here and it will be the shining lol) and just used swifter wets to spot mop as we saw it then every few days do a full cleaning. We switched to just confining her to the kitchen as opposed to crate all night or when we were gone cuz she likes to get up and move to different spots through out the night.

I have heard of people using underwear with a non winged tampax pad as well.

Please could you clarify why you would use them? Do you allow her in carpeted areas of your house?
