To think there MUST be the perfect pair of black tights out there?

[pandarific]

Anyone? Just had to bin 15 pairs of black tights as they were old, bobbly and terrible cat fluff traps. Any ideas where I can get the 'slipperier' kind of tights cat fluff won't be attracted to that ALSO don't ride down or go bobbly?

I've religiously been buying my tights in Primark for probably 15 years... maybe there is a better way?!

I highly recommend Snag Tights, just got a pair and they are fab. Wore them all evening (with dancing included) and didn't have to yank them up once!

Oooh. You've cost me money @FantasticMissFox! These look brilliant!

Snag tights fit fantastically, however all three of the pairs I purchased either snagged (ironically) and one pair ripped as I was putting them on, all on the first wear. I wouldn't waste your money, they are very poor quality

I have Snags, but I only wear thick ones, so hard to rip.

Heist Studios! Dont have a cat so cant answer for fluffiness but they're excellent with a wide waistband, super comfortable and no weird muffin top where the top edge cuts in.

M&S Autograph black tights are amazing.

I was also coming on to recommend snag

Heist are indeed nice but ££ and they only do limited sizes in some styles and colours. Eg 'The Nude' only goes up to size 14! but black comes in more sizes.
(And I also ripped a pair the first time I put them on ☹️ )

M&S autograph! They are expensive but I’ve got pairs that I’ve had for years.

Another vote for snag! I converted this year and they have changed my life wardrobe

I just buy loads of cheap pairs, Asda/Primark/Superdrug/Tesco.

Marks and Sparks body sensor three pack of 40 denier tights. I wash them over and over on the washing machine. They don’t bobble, rarely ladder and are all round amazing. I wear tights almost every day (apart from the 3 days of hot weather we have or on holiday) so feel I’m a reliable reviewer.

Another vote for Snag Tights - love them! Like you aren't wearing them!!

M&S body sensor 60 denier. DD wears them to school. They last for ages, wash well, no bobbling. We also have a very fluffy cat, and no problem with residual cat hairs on the tights after washing

M&S Autograph black tights are amazing.
Here! Here! 😄

Love my snag tights - revolutionary for me particularly as I have a fuller figure. First pair of tights to actually fit me properly.

Waitrose/john lewis tights fit nicely and feel great. £7.50 for 3 pairs

Snag here too!

Second snag tights.

Esp for the plus side lady.

I like snag. And next tights are good too.

I love the M&S velvet touch opaques - however the M&S near me has stopped stocking them on the grounds that we had a couple of days of sunshine so we don't need opaque tights until September - first world problem but still v annoying - and so bloddy typical of M&S to not sell something when you need it.

M&S Velvet Touch Opaque 60 denier. They are fantastic BUT I recently bought the new/updated bodyshaper versions and they were so tight around the hips but not around the thighs so they dug in at the tops of my legs and then made My thighs bulge out underneath. Horrific!

Watching with interest. Do the Snag ones actually stay up?!
