I've tried Underjams and they do stretch a lot better than Goodnites, but the stretching causes the already soft rubber that makes up the sides to get weaker. I experimented with that (I have a 34" waist) and they just didn't last long. No more than an hour, hour and a half; the only thing holding them together was the cotton threads that they put on the outer part. The reason for the inherent weakness is that there are thousands of tiny perforations that allow your skin to breath. You're honestly better with a true adult diaper or pull-up of some kind. I do like that Underjams are thick, at least thicker than Goodnites(right out of the bag Underjams are at least half an inch thick. IIRC, I measured with my calipers and the one I measured was 0.61*" in thickness without compressing them), so they'll make great stuffers, but like I said you'd be better off buying adult diapers or pull-ups.
