Hi ShortGuy, thanks for the abena advise, I hadn't though about getting samples or using the smaller ones as a stuffer if they don't fit. When you use the small size, as you have a 30 inch waist do you find the tapes are close to the end of the diaper. What I am trying to ask is do you think that the small would have enough room to close properly for a person with is 32 inch waist.
