I use base gel mainly (you can google "base gel dicks sporting goods" to find it, it's about $20 for one bag). A small amount absorbs a LOT of water and forms this jelly-like substance that's very heavy & jiggly, but won't cause water damage if it leaks lol. I mix 20 grams of base gel per gallon of water, so there's like 22-ish gallons' worth in a single bag of base gel.
I mix the gel & water in a large 30-gal trash bag, wait 5 min for it to set, get ALL of the air out, and then tightly tie the bag shut, knotting it near the bottom & cutting off the excess bag above the knot. I double-bag it just in case there's a tiny hole somewhere.
I'll mix up either 1, 1.5, or 2 gal per bag, but you can do whatever.

I have an "alternate recipe" for this, inspired by Blanc102's padding tutorial.
Instead of just base gel & water in the bag, you can add some amount of polyfil to the mix to add volume. The main problem with the base gel bags is that they're SO heavy, and they mostly sag downwards. When you have a LOT of base gel, your "gut" sags too low and it doesn't look good/realistic, and it's tough to keep it all supported.
With polyfil in the mix, you can add a bunch of volume while still keeping some of the base gel weight. Polyfil is springy/spongy even when wet, so it's great to add to the bag. When you remove all the air the polyfil reduces in size a ton, but it becomes very malleable so you can shape it however you want to be shaped.
To make it:
I haven't found the perfect ratios yet, but for now I'll add 1 gallon of water to the 30 gal trash bag, and then 100-300 grams of polyfil to the water, and get the polyfil wet. Then you can add the 20 grams of base gel to soak up the water, and wait 5 min or so to let it work. Get ALL the air out, as much as you can, and tie the bag shut tight, then wrap that bag in another bag in case of leaks. Also if the original bag gets a hole, the polyfil will expand a ton so the double bag protects it a bit.
I've done 300 g polyfil to 1 gallon of water, and it ended up making a decently large potbelly. The neat thing was that it looked like a traditional man-shaped belly (looked like I had a lot of visceral fat instead of saggy), that you can't get with base gel alone.
I got a big bag of polyfil at Walmart, it was $15 for about 3lbs, or about 1200-1300 grams, so it's not too expensive to add to your setup.
