Halp! Nothing fits my skinny toddler
violajack

DS1 is almost 26 pounds and tall (I forget exactly how tall). He's starting to outgrow the rise of Sunbabys all the way unsnapped. Everything else fits unsnapped but his waist is so small that we get serious wing droop on almost everything. Flips look good until he starts running around and then they droop off. I like our motherease fitteds now that I don't have to fold over and I can use the snap in doubler, but they're so generously cut that I have a hard time getting coverage even with blueberry coveralls, and then we get terrible wing droop once he starts running around. I'm pulling the sides straight across when I put the covers on. I can get good coverage over the motherease with the airflow cover, but that thing is super bulky and I only have two. I've been thinking of getting more pull on covers since they sit lower on the thigh and should easily cover the fitted. He can pee through a flat in an hour, or barely wet one in three hours, so I guess I could double flat and snappi it under a cover, but padfolded under a flip is currently a disaster.
Or I could buy more diapers. But what should I buy? Our simplex fit well, but those are expensive. We have two sunbaby trainers that I like fit wise, but I dislike stuffing them. What's good on a tall skinny 2 year old who isn't likely to potty learn for at least another year (because mama's too lazy to do much training, we've tried a little and he's not anywhere near ready)?

Re: Halp! Nothing fits my skinny toddler
The GroVia shells are very trim, and the waist band snaps overlap. It's a little too snug for DS on that setting, but doable. I have these on the medium rise setting as well, but my mom puts them on the smallest when she diapers DS, and I guess they work fine. The legs are cut high so you have to make sure the diaper isn't peeking out, so I don't use them at night.
I have been using the Thirsties and the GroVia for more than two years now and they have all held up exceptionally well. They are great, great covers, and I think the fit is good for skinny babies (at least in my experience).

Huh? I'm surprised at all the Grovia recommendations. DS has pretty much outgrown the rise on his Best Bottoms, and is getting close on his Grovia shells. He does have a thicker waist though, so maybe thats making a difference?
Anyways, I definitely like the Thristies suggestion. I do love my Grovia shells, super high quality TPU and snaps. Also what about a Sweet Pea cover? I swear their OS will almost get small enough at the waist to fit a NB, and the rise is just about as tall as a Blueberry Coverall. There are four snaps on each side, so you could do the MK technique of snapping with it too, but even snapping the "correct" way I've never had wing droop.
