One of the short straps around the waist, the long one double wrapping the bottom of the outer thigh pad!

Nice, might give that a try next time.
I've been strapping over the edges and fixing onto the skin side of the pad which has worked well too - Had about 70 mins batting time out in the middle yesterday and they didn't move or feel uncomfortable.

I really envy you, if the SMALL strap goes around your waist !!

Being a short (No Swearing Please) helps!!
I think it was why I was struggling in the first place - I wasn't stretching/generating enough tension in the straps wearing them in an orthodox fashion due to my size!

I decided to go to the extreme and see what happens. Rolled the thigh guard up like a mat, and wrapped it up with all the straps I had. This is what it currently looks like:

So this worked out nicely. Pads slowly opened up over two days - were still too tight but I fit them on my leg and since then they’ve kept their shape. They do tend to (very slowly) Widen out and so am wondering if they’ll need a re-bake every few months.. let’s see.
