Making a small diaper fit

[dogboy]

Did you know they make white duct tape. It may make it look a little more authentic.

Duct tape used to work great when baby diapers were plastic but its no good now on the cloth covers. I make extenders by scrounging the Velcro parts off one diaper. Cut the receiving part in half and hot melt glue it to one end of a 6” peace of heavy elastic, like a jock strap waistband. Glue the tab to the other end. Then make another for the other side. Pampers have the best tabs but a unreusable landing area. The old CVS Explorers (with Baby Snoopy) had the best receiving strip. 6” works for me but you might want to test before gluing. I use my extenders over and over on many different brand diapers.
Good Luck!

If they have those velcrow type closeures, you can cut them off one diaper and extend the tabs useing the cut off peices, I used this in some huggies I had a while back.

Or you can cut off the extension peice and staple the new peice on the next diaper just make the pointed part of the staple points to the outside, that way the smooth part of the staple is against your skin.

First i have tried finding this in other places and got no luck so here it goes. I recently got hold of some child diapers that only support 40 pounds. and i am kinda over that at 150 pounds so the waistbands don't reach by like 2 inches. So what i am wondering is if there is a way to get them to expand and reach so the can be put together. (as to wear them now i have to wear some tight underwear to support it against me) any suggestions would be nice (and i know an easy solution is get bigger ones but this is all i could mange to find and they were free so they'll have to do

There isn't much you can do...You could use them as a stuffer for bigger diapers...OR you could like...Duct tape around...Getting bigger diapers would be best...

Put it inside a underwear brief, or underwear boxer briefs. Just like a girl does with a pad, except this would be like one giant pad that covers you from front to back! :laugh: Also make sure you cut off the front nd back tabs, cause they will be annoying if not cut.
