Thick thighs leading to suboptimal fit on diapers and waddling

Hello,

According to BMI I am a few pounds below being overweight, therefore I guess you could say I am a high "normal" weight. However I guess you could describe my thighs as being fairly thick, maybe even a bit disproportional when compared to the little fat I have.

Issue 1
This has led to many M-size diapers having a subpar fit. Especially the bottom tapes barely (by a few inches) reach the wings of the diaper, while the upper tapes do attach nearer to the middle of the diaper. I have tried some L-sized diapers for brands where the M-size is smaller than average, but those were way too large. They would barely fit properly, even if I used them for double or triple diapering purposes.

Issue 2
I think my thick thighs make me waddle even in relatively thin diapers, if the diapers are of the firmer type. This has inhibited me several times when I decided to try to wear diapers for several days at a time. I either got frustrated and aborted the project or I feel that I became too sedentary.

Does anyone have any experience with these issues? Googling did not turn up much info.

I am in the process of shedding a few more pounds - so that I am in the middle range of the normal weight-category. It seems that my highs are the last hold out of fat, so I hope that they might become slightly slimmer, but if there is anything else I can do, I would love to know it. Especially as I would like to wear diapers more often during the day - and stay active while doing it!

You might be screwed :/
I had 72cm thighs, and I'm fairly overweight (standard beer belly)
Last year, I lost 9KG, and my thighs increased to 74cm - my leg press is up to ~250KG

You might find that cloth diapers are the way to go, as they are easier to get non-custom fitting.

Something I have seen, is people taping the top tapes down over the lower tapes, and crossing them over - Believe Abena had a v
 
I had larger thighs for a while and had to find diapers that fit me correctly. I went with a larger size to allow the tapes to fit right. Dry 24/7 diapers in size medium fit me well because they are sized larger than most brands. Not sure what European brand would work for you.
 
For me, I just got large or x-large. Luckily with the case of waddling, I have a leg that is an inch or so longer than the other so people don't tend to notice my odd walk as much, even when i'm wearing up to four!
