Best Maternity Tights

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for maternity tights.

I am currently 22 weeks and have tried 40 denier M&S which are horribly uncomfortable, staticy and fall down at the gusset and some 100 denier Jojo Mama Bebe ones which are very comfy but a bit too heavy and also about 3 inches too long giving me Nora Batty ankles.

Any recommendations anyone?

in my experience mothercare were fine, but verbaudet came up vv small and resulted in extra bump panel bit hanging out somewhere by my crotch (i'm only 5'2'')

I found the JoJo ones weren't a brilliant fit, and ended up with the crotch slipping gently down Blush.

I'm currently using Next, which I think have been the better buy, although I'm surprised that I'm in the medium/large at 34 weeks (5'1" and a size 8).

I liked the Mamas & Papas ones, comfortable and stayed up regardless of size of bump, including post birth. I tried H&M tights early on in the pregnancy, they definitely stayed up but were so tight and uncomfortable that I think I only wore them the once.

Actually found the cheapest were the best, asda!
Tried marks and asos and both rubbish, marks ones give at the top edge so fall down and have this weird sheer window on them....

Solidea maternity compression tights. Expensive but definitely best pregnancy buy. They have done me through 2 pregnancies. I work in retail standing up all day so it was money well spent

Next maternity tights are fab. They lasted me a good few months.
