Plus size tights - where can I get some?

I bought some 4XL tights from Amazon and they were nearly long enough but not quite and they cut off my circulation because I couldnt pull them up far enough.

I am only 5'3, but I need some long tall tights in a large size... I am about a 24, but the top of my legs are very big and that is why I struggle to get tights. I never wear dresses because of this, but have recently purchased a couple that I would like to wear with opaque tights.

Any advice on where to get some would be great. I cant wear any from Evans or M&S

I have found tesco exceptional for the truly thunderous of thigh. The 4 or 5 quid pairs. I'm 5'4".

My sister swears by the ones from yours clothing. Shes a 26 Although taller at 5'9".

I used to like the sainsburys ones in xl. Pack if three opaque in black they do grey brown and plum too. That was at a size 24 ish but again taller than you. So they should fit easily.

Tightsplease have a good selection, as do UK Tights - I like the Cette Dublin ones for a good range of colours. Also the Falke Cotton Touch. But I am 5'9'' and my legs not very wide so can't guarantee they'd be perfect.

I second Tesco tights. Though the only ones I have are the cotton touch ones. I am 5'3 and have biiig thighs.

Im 5ft10 and a size 22. But the last time I wore tights I was a 24.

I used asdas largest size. I think it was xxl. They were a little tight around my thinghs, but some wriggling to stretch them and they were comfy.

I think Mytights online do quite a range of sizes.

www.welovecolors.com/ is a us site (im in the uk) that does a great range of sizes and colours to fit my thunder thighs! I've had a few pairs of theirs and they're super comfy.
