So what causes diapers to slide down?

This is probably one of the dumbest questions I've ever asked.
Is there some reason many of my DD's diapers slide down to the point where they look like they are going to fall off? Is this a problem other people have or is it just something quirky about her? I don't remember it with my first. Might she just have really narrow hips? It doesnt' happen with Bumkins covers and small fireflies so many other things, even disposables, seem to work their way down as she's running around and climbing on eveyrthing. She has a tiny waist and chubby thighs if that provides any clue. I don't think things are missized, but maybe we need bigger or smaller? But which, bigger or smaller? Any insights for me?
We don't have many side snappers, but I'd love a trim side snapping fitted recommendation if you think that would help them stay on her. Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm posting this on a public board.
: TIA for any advice!

Yep, I think a side snapper is key for you, front snappers tend to be a little looser in the front and vicarously in the top of the hips. I'd suggest FCB size 1's for you or medium Celestial Babies or medium Lucy's Hope Chests off the top of my head. You need a side snapper with a little front elastic.
I find side snappers better too. Eliza has a fat little belly and skinny hips and lots of front aplix things just slide down. The butt crack is cute though.

If I pin them they don't and you can pin them in the side snapping fashion (front panel overlaps the back wings).
