Here's a related question: Are there any tricks for putting on a large disposable if you also have a large belly?
My "waistline" is probably about 40" measured about four inches above my "private part", if I wear pants I pull them up to there then have to have the legs hemmed so that they're not too long (about 30"). So typically I wear shorts or sweatpants.
Around my belly, I'm probably now about 55-60" (obviously I've put on about 40 pounds since my avatar photo was taken, which I eventually hope to lose but probably not until next spring).
If I wear cloth diapers, not a problem, in the front I can fold the inner ones over so that they reach just to where my gut sticks out, then fold the outer one over those and pin them that way--then use suspenders to keep them up.
But recently I decided to try disposables and bought some Northshore Megamax XL and the problem is, if I tape them securely around my waistline the middle of the diaper hangs down about to my knees. I've not yet tried folding the top/front of it inward and taping it that way, maybe that will work? Or possibly remove the absorbant inner lining from the outer plastic and folding that over then trimming off the excess plastic?
No matter how I do it I always have trouble with the tapes sticking, this is worse if I use Baby Magic lotion and can't wipe all of it off of my hands before trying the tapes. I've often wondered about using duct tape instead of the usual tape tabs? And maybe that can be found in some babyish pattern?
Any others of similar shape have any ideas?
