Actually my waste is 36, bum is 38 and leg is 22”. I think they will stretch. They are difficult to get on without tearing the seams. Especially the legs. So pre stretch and use the elastic to pull up and over, not the plastic. No sharp nails either. I may try a cloth kids diaper insert. However for me, it is all about the tight fitting plastic and that it seams wrong to wear baby clothes some how.
