To ask about woolly tights for chubby people

[NHSisfubar]

I've got quite a curvy figure and in fact my mum has often commented on my thunder thighs being caused by too much horse riding... I digress... Where on earth do you find woolly tights that fit over your arse but don't gape at the waist and also don't end up with the crotch halfway down to your knees? The last pair I grabbed out of my drawer ended up pulling my pants down all evening. Not a great look... I'm all for comfort so curvy ladies; aibu to ask you where you buy your tights?!

M&S are really good. The other brand I really like is Falke woolly tights (they do woolly ribbed and woolly patterns too sometimes). The really do stay up. They are £20-£30 a pair (very expensive!), but I find they do last easily 2-3 years (wearing each pair roughly twice a week over the winter period). They wash and wear very well.

I've got those bamboo tights from Tesco and they're excellent. In fact I like all the Tesco tights I've tried, long-lasting and sturdy.

Next, m and s or White Stuff are the only High St stores which fit me (tall and big hipped). Supermarket/primark ones are too small, H and M don't really do cotton ones.

The best cable knit ones are Next. They're sort of half way between a wool and an opaque. Lots of nice colours and L should fit you.

Thank you thank you thank you to the poster up thread who mentioned the big tights company. I'd never seen them before. I'm a 22/24 and even buying size 28 tights on eBay meant they didn't quite fit (wtf is that about?!) and always tore after an hour due to the strain at the very top of my thighs.

I've just looked and they even do lace top hold ups. I'm thrilled! Thank you!!!!!

P.s please excuse the atrocious grammar! I had a toddler hanging off me and I was trying to type one fingered on the iPad
