Are Snag tights worth the hype?

Need some new tights and have always have problems getting the right ones as I like them to be high-waisted and also dont like a baggy crotch/having to pull them up every 2 seconds.

Seen so many adverts for snag tights, but are they worth it?

Yes they are great.

imarocketman50 · 10/01/2020 17:29

Yes yes yes yes.

Isnappedandsharted · 10/01/2020 17:30

No!

Mine laddered first wear and second wear my tow went through them. I wear pri.ark tights all the time and they never ladder!

livingmyslothlife · 10/01/2020 17:30

Yes they are brilliant.

Isnappedandsharted · 10/01/2020 17:31

Toe and Primark Hmm

BestIsWest · 10/01/2020 17:32

Yes. So comfortable, don’t fall down. I’m a convert.

weebarra · 10/01/2020 17:32

Yes, very much like them here!

DirtyDeeds · 10/01/2020 17:32

They’re awesome

TravellingSpoon · 10/01/2020 17:33

Every time I buy primark tights they always seem crap and they fall down constantly. I have a smaller waist but a massive bum and they just done seem to be able to cope.

Yes worth it! I have really long legs and I literally never have to pull snag tights up whereas with any other type I am constantly doing so. Very comfortable!

ineedto · 10/01/2020 17:35

I disliked them, laddered easily. Something that rarely happens with other brands I use.

picklemepopcorn · 10/01/2020 17:36

Mine are a little long in the leg, but fit brilliantly on my big thighs and bum. I never have to haul them up, there's enough fabric in the body to actually fit without stretching beyond capacity.

I've got the opaque ones, and have worn quite a few times with no holes.

Doodlekitty · 10/01/2020 17:39

I really want to order some of these, but go so confused by the sizing.

coffeeandgin26 · 10/01/2020 17:43

Yes. I'm 5ft 11 and size 22 and tights were my nemesis. I've just bought my 8th pair of snags - they're super comfy, robust, and wash well.

sohypnotic · 10/01/2020 17:47

Absolutely worth it. Banished all others, such a relief to not have to hoist them up all the time.

Curiousmum69 · 10/01/2020 17:47

Yes, and the 80 denier last forever

AlexandraPeppernose · 10/01/2020 17:48

They are really comfy and don't fall down but I found them avarying size despite ordering the same size and found the really thick ones can go a bit Nora Batty at the ankles.

Sheer are not sheer and the natural colours are not very natural which is disappointing.

I did get a snag in my lower denier ones after one wear but they sent me a replacement and I still wear the original and they haven't laddered further 10+ washes in.

Most importantly they fit around my belly and thighs. No tightness and struggling to get them up, no muffin top and they are ridiculously comfy.

As I haven't been able to wear tights for years (size 20) I would say they are totally worth it.

Bombaybunty · 10/01/2020 17:53

I've only bought the thick ones so far. They are comfortable but I followed their sizing instructions and they are a bit too big. If I buy more I will go a size smaller.

toomanyleggings · 10/01/2020 17:54

I bought 4 pairs all snagged and laddered within a morning

toomanyleggings · 10/01/2020 17:54

80 denier ones as well which look
More like 50

isabellerossignol · 10/01/2020 17:55

I think they're worth it. First tights I have ever had that have stayed up.

bumbleboots · 10/01/2020 17:56

Yes. I love them. Game changer.

bee222 · 10/01/2020 18:00

I bought 2 pairs and they both laddered first time I wore them.

K0612 · 10/01/2020 18:03

Yes. I've only bought the thick black ones but wouldn't go back to my m & s ones.
