Snag tights

It's the morbidly obese models that get me. You wouldn't put an anorexic model on anymore.

Their tights are also shit, they snag more than cheapo Primark ones , they even sent new ones recognising how quickly they had holes in, they did exactly the same!
So it's not a good product and the marketing is just bizarre

It's the idea that snag tights are amazing and different and actually fit women's bodies really well, AND YET also fit transwomen's bodies really well.

My waist / hip / arse / thigh measurements and ratios are so so so far removed from a male body that I can't believe that to be true.

Either they won't fit me, so they are lying, or they won't fit tw, so they are lying, or they don't actually fit either particularly brilliantly, so they are lying.

All in all, it makes my trust in the brand precisely zero.

I'm 5ft1 with weirdly short legs. "Normal" tights are too long. I need the short ones that Snag make.

I'm 5'6 and a size 18. I get their size Cinque. I got size E in snag. They both fit the same for me. I've got enough room to pull them right up to just under my bra and I'm pretty sure they could easily accommodate someone about 6' tall.

I haven't tried them because they don't have the different lengths, which is what I need. I might order a couple of pairs though and see.

I've moved from snag to better tights and I love them. Also a bit cheaper for the basic colours last time I checked.

Ah man

their tights are really good

why do companies do this? The current environment where you have to sell a brand causes no end of trouble

how I wish companies could just make and sell good products without having to sell themselves

The more I look at the one with a crutch, the more I think they're male. The hip line above the shorts- that make pattern muscularity I think.

Perhaps it's just a shit artist?

Nobody on here objected to the crutch, @StarchySturgess1. Don't be goady.

And it's not the sexy clothes in bigger sizes that's the issue, it's the objectification of women as sex objects. Whether bigger or smaller. It's offensive, not empowering.

And yes, the dark skinned person is actually drawn to look like blackface. Really bad.

Though I see pecs and nipples- flimsy girl clothing - rather than scars.

That said, do the others have nipples?

Maybe they are just saying that people with joint/bone issues can wear their tights as much as anyone else can!

Err... Why would someone with bone or joint issues possibly think think they couldn't wear tights as much as anyone else?

How utterly bizarre.

OMG I was torn about the images. On the one hand I get that you want bigger ladies (I am one) to feel they can be sexy, but on the other hand, do they really need to pose like that?

I'm also pissed with them as their black leggings have been out of stock for aaaaaages (and they are really comfortable). The chub rub shorts are shit though.

Ah yes, "Shut up, stupid women, with your prudish idea that bondage and porn shouldn't invade every area of life, including frigging hosiery".

If it's 'grown up' to accept porn, then I'm happy to be childish, thanks.

I think the colours of the tights give a clue as to their identities.

Snag are the only tights I've found that fit me.

@StarchySturgess1 and why are harnesses fashionable?

There's a line between marketing a product to make the wearer feel confident and beautiful and marketing a product to put women's sexuality quite literally up for grabs.

That is a weird image. Why is the top half of the torso of the person without breasts pink and the rest very dark? They are not implying this is someone in blackface, right? The forced smile just adds to the weirdness.

As for ‘don’t like it, don’t buy it’, that’s a rather naive view of how late-stage capitalism works. It’s impossible to ignore online advertising in our daily lives, it’s everywhere and almost all we do (including here on MN) generates huge amounts of data that then feed into more commercial messaging. There is an intense debate in our society about the kinds of images that can be viewable by all, e.g. under-18s viewing extreme pornography on their phones, so sexualised and propagandistic imagery in commercial messages seems like a valid topic for general adult discussion.

It appears to be a pink crop top with nipples and mastectomy scars, which is an interesting of of decoration!

What a strange issue to have.

You're clearly not aware that harnesses are fashionable at the minute and fairly difficult to get in sizes for bigger bodies? Snag are meeting that gap in the market.

I don't understand why you have a problem with fake garter tights. You're not being forced to wear or buy them? Are you going into H&M and complaining about their corset tops?

Don't like it? Don't buy it, but I fail to see the appeal in coming on here and complaining about why products exist, claiming a pair of tights is "porn adjacent" (biggest load of nonsense I've ever heard) and waffling on about how incensed you are that they've put a leaflet in an order that's got a person on crutches on it.

Grow up, good lord 🙄

I raised it with them on their socials. There was a beautiful picture of a curvy ballet dancer. I commented how lovely it was, inclusive, accepting of all body shapes.
I suggested they do more like it, and fewer if the soft porn, kink, objectifying posts. They told me that they were committed to showing bigger bodies as sexy, or some such. They totally didn't want to know.

I agree. It's all very unpleasant. I love the tights but what the heck with the harness! And the fake garter stuff too.

Glorifying crumbling bones? Maybe they are just saying that people with joint/bone issues can wear their tights as much as anyone else can! And maybe the double mastectomy is because the lady had breast cancer? I can’t see how they are glorifying it?

Is the crutch needed due to puberty blockers then? Presumably she's not yet had her arm flayed to create an artificial flesh sausage, she wouldn't be able to use the crutch comfortably after that.
Seems like this company royally deserves a Bud Light experience...

I'm seeing a pink crop top and hairy arms.

Is that on the arm of orange outfit on the ft? As i couldn't work out if they are trying to depict self harm scars or dark haired arms

I looked at their website after reading about this yesterday and it's fetish porn adjacent. Made me feel really uncomfortable. Honestly looked like wank fodder.
