Out of curiosity I had to purchase some when I saw them (they had a self checkout lane). I have a 32" waist. I could get them to stick on for a couple seconds but then popped off. When putting them on you have to pull on them even past the point you think they will rip. I am impressed at how strechy they are! But, NO, don't plan on using them as a stand alone diaper. these are definately meant as a baby diaper. Not wide enough at all! It looked very stupid on me!
I do have to say they work wonderfully as a stuffer! Holy Crap! I hate cutting though diapers (the usual method for using diapers for stuffers) since I don't like getting the gel every where. So, I folded one inside out with the folded end toward the front, just under the "boy's" but yet not in front. Since they are thin, they fit in there great plus you effectively have 3 absorbant surfaces down there. When they swell you can't close your thighs together!
