To ask how tights can be comfortable?!

[firesong]

I find all tights dig into my waist horribly! I wear hold ups instead. But I'm wondering why others don't seem to have this problem??

My waist is slim btw and I don't have the problem with trousers / jeans

You might need a bigger size.

try snag tights, fit like a dream, don't go baggy or roll down at the waist

I like snag tights too. My favourites, though, are 100% cotton tights from Big Bloomers Company (worst name ever) but they're size UK 16+ only so may not be suitable for you. I wish more companies made cotton tights; they're exactly like the ones I wore when I was 5, so comfy!!

I just bought some snag tights (arrived in the post today). They seem to be pretty good. The range of sizes does seem to help quite a lot. I'm 5'6 (with long legs) but quite thin, so I have been sick of tights that are wide in the leg but short in length as if pulling them up won't result in baggy ankles and a gusset that keeps making its way to mid-thigh.

Although in saying that I feel like some sort of astroturfing advertising bot.

Surely it's just a case of different bodies feel comfortable in different things?
I can't wear hold ups as they roll down, but I wear black opaque tights pretty much every day and I have never had an uncomfortable pair. I don't buy anything out of the ordinary either, just bog standard M&S black opaques.

Haven't heard of snag tights, will try em!

I have tried big sizes, but I'm medium height (5'5") and size 8 so they're normally long in the legs / crotch or generally baggy... with uncomfortable waist! Maybe I just have a sensitive stomach area 😂

I got the A/B sized snag tights. I was a bit skeptical tbh but they do seem to fit. Narrow legs that are long enough and comfortable waistband. You can see I have ankles too.

I don't bother with tights, I wear stockings instead. I find them more comfortable.

I live in tights and think the same of trousers!

I find tights comfier than leggings or jeans. Everything has waistbands but wooly tights have the softest.

I think it helps that I'm short so they sit right at the top/skinniest bit of my waist.

Another vote for snag tights here, I bought my first pair about 3 weeks ago and for the first time in my life I have tights that fit, are comfortable, and don't fall down or cut me in half :D Totally worth a try!

Different brands of tights fit me differently. Even within the same brand, different types of tights may or may not be comfortable. For me it is a case of trying them.

If you haven't tried every brand & every type of tight, then keep going because you will find one that fits you and is comfortable because they all seem to be very different.

I'm fat and it's on my stomach yet tights feel comfy. Go up a size or two and go for cotton content and/ or bamboo.

Bamboo is ridiculously comfortable.

Yep, Snag tights. I go up a size for comfort but don't really need to. They're great.
