With all due respect attendsdiapers, if you need the tapes to be more than half-way up the side panel to fit into them, you should go up a size. What's the point of having most of the side panel flapping about in the wind? I'm glad it worked out for you personally, but imagine if they had a manufacturing defect and only the top tape was left, and people with extremely wide legs started celebrating? You'd hardly want that to be the defacto design. Especially seeing as the tapes are also 30% smaller than the previous iteration also, and they barely held on at that.
