Best naps for generous thighs?

I am currently using first size tots bots bamboozles and love them except that the elastic around dd's lovely legs is leaving quite a lot of marking - even while we are leaving the waist too loose to try and give as much leg room as possible.

She's only 8 weeks but I'm thinking I will have to move to a larger nappy in the near future. Can anyone recommend a good nappy for a small waist/large thigh ratio? (Of course she inherits this from her father .) I'd like to stick to bamboo fabric if possible.

The wambamboos have much longer tabs, so would be much more adjustable, but it is stilla case of where you adjust the waist the legs go too.

I have got DS in a swaddlebees organic velour pocket today - you stuff it with an insert, then it goes on like a normal nappy and needs a wraps - but it does up with poppers at the sides, so would be more adjustable on the legs maybe?

The wambamboo elastic is less elasticky i find so doesnt mark dd at all whereas the tots do. It is elasticky enough to give a good fit etc but seems softer and less rigid iykwim

I've heard good things about Nature Babies Diddy Diapers (the size 2 ones), they have long tabs and are nippa'd (you can get velcro tho). I think with chunky thighs nippas are the way to go or something side poppered like Sandy's or Swaddlebees as you can get a better fit at waist and thigh.

I certainly found with DS (AKA Thunderthighs) that I had to give up using velcro wraps at one point as they cut into his legs terribly, the only thing that would do were Airflow wraps or fleece/wool.

Also having a think, probably something with frilly legs works well (Sandy's again or Bimbles maybe
