To wish there were tights in the world that don’t bloody fall down?

[Ennirem]

Winter is coming, and with it my propensity to live in tights. I love them... but I hate them, because no matter what brand or size, they all work themselves down until the gusset is hanging at mid-thigh and I am waddling like a penguin. Leggings don’t to this, so why do tights? I have seriously considered putting extra pants on over them to keep the buggers up as, in a dress, you can’t even pull the damn things up without sloping off to the bathroom.

Please help me mumsnet - how do I keep my stupid tights up???

This thread inspired me to try Snag too. As I’m quite short, I fit the school pack sizes (finally, an advantage) so my black opaques needs are met! I think M&S are better, but there’s not much in it really.

Another vote for M&S autograph velvet tights, going a size up. Expensive but so stretchy/comfy and last for ages.

I used to wear stockings when I was slim

I'm definintely NOT slim and still wear stockings. Just have to get a good suspender belt. I prefer stockings anyway, I've never had a problem with them.
