Huggies are long in the back so i can pull them up from the back of the cast, but they sag so they end up falling. Which diapers are long in the back but don't sag?

You really should try cloth diapers, for this reason and so many more.
With the cloth diapers you can make them as long or as short as you need in order to have them fit properly.
Cloth diapers are best and cheapest to use in the long run.
Disposables put plastic, paper and chemicals against your skin, is this really a good thing?? Not only that but with disposables you put all that paper, plastic, chemicals and human waste into our landfills. The human waste breeds all kinds of bacteria that filters down into our water systems, yuck! Not to mention that the diapers themselves take decades to decay, long after our own bodies decay they will still be there. Why do that to our environment? I think they should be outlawed.
With cloth, your baby will have less chance of getting diaper rashes, your baby will be wrapped in a nice soft cloth diaper and will be more comfortable.
I'm incontinent and have to wear diapers 24 / 7 due to a medical condition. I wear cloth diapers all the time along with waterproof plastic pants, under my clothes.
I used to wear disposable diapers until I constantly had rashes because of them. They are so hot and sticky, they become very uncomfortable, I can't imagine making a baby wear them and having them be so uncomfortable. With cloth diapers I have had no rashes and they are much gentler against my skin.
Think about your baby and not your own convenience when it comes to what you choose to put on your child.
Good Luck.

Diapering infants/toddlers — Use disposable diapers only. Tuck the edges of the diaper inside the edges of the cast (plastic side towards the cast and absorbent side next to skin). Use a sanitary napkin inside the diaper for extra absorbency. Both diaper and sanitary napkin should be changed immediately after wetting. One-piece infant sleepers help hold the diaper in place inside the cast.
Older children — Because it's difficult for children to use the bathroom while in a spica cast, use a bedpan or urinal. To use a bedpan, turn your child to the side and place the bedpan under her buttocks and then turn her back onto the bedpan. Check between her thighs to be sure the bedpan is properly positioned. Always elevate your child's head, so urine flows down and away from the cast.

ask the childs doctor or if the child is in the hospital ask what they used and have them teach you how to do the changes properly
