Narrow squats and thick thighs#1835

A

I’m having trouble doing narrow squats as an overweight male (280 down from 300 @ 5’11) with thick thighs.
The real issue is the genitals getting in the way and worry about accidentally squeezing them as I narrow squat between thrm between my thighs, pelvis, or belly.
I’ve re-arrange them, but I can’t find anything to work around them.

Is there a variation I can do or should I continue regular squats and increase the reps and set?

I walk my dog every day and I always do at least, on avg, 45 squats with 30lbs weights in my ruckpack.
They’re not continuous, but it’s a 2 mile walk so whenever my dog takes a cooling break, I always do squats.

Doing 2-3 sets of 30 is very doable for me, but I’m still struggling towards the very end. I can add weights, but I only have my 30lbs in my ruckpack. They’re 4 5lbs and 1 10lb. All I have are dumbbells.

Edit: my thighs and belly also make it difficult to properly do the Straight Leg Twist workout as well. I can’t put the opposite arm ( to the leg, so if crossing right leg over left and turning right, it’s my left arm in this case) to the ground. It’s about 3 inches away and I’m struggling to keep my crossed leg to the ground. I use the opposite arm to help twist, keep my leg crossed, and the free arm supports the best it can while keeping my back as upright as possible against my belly.
