Maternity tights!

[Eddie123]

Can anyone recommend where to get decent, comfy 40/60 denier black maternity tights? Thanks

I got some from Debenhams, they are really comfy don't go saggy around the knees and wash well

Debenhams for me too but struggle to get them in small, usually only stock medium or large. £10 for 2 pairs I think.

Don't bother with Emma Jane tights. Only worn mine twice and the waistband is going and they're snagged.

don't get Emma thingy. Ladder bloody easily. £8 I won't see again. Pah!

M & S - best do it online and you don't even have to visit the shop!

Asda.

Debenhams reccommendation again. Very comfy and well fitting.

for me, avoid mamas and papas tights - they are the worst pair ever - I look like nora batty and they fall down so much I spent the whole day pulling them up as discreetly as I can! Have also got a pair from mothercare which are OK.

Now I have discovered thaht I can wear my old winter tights under the bump I've not bothered buying any more. I am 39 weeks and measuring large for my dates so not exactly petite!

The ones from Mothercare (that I previously bought) were fine though, if you feel the need to buy some that pull up over the lump.

I got M&S ones - fit over bump well and fine it sitting still but fall down as soon you walk anywhere.

Maybe i'm just strange but I wear my normal tights under the bump with an extra pair of knickers over the top (superman style).
I found the over the bump type tights don't work and roll down as soon as you start to move.

Ooh, just thought I'd add the Mothercare ones are useless for me. They were great until I was about 30 weeks and then they just weren't long enough so wouldn't fit over my bump and would pop underneath my bump as I was walking which makes them fall down.

Peacocks!!!

I went into Mothercare last week, all they had was grey wooly ones. M&S didn't have maternity tights. DH said "try here" as we walked past Peacocks. They were £5 reduced to £2.50, black, 70 denier and fantastic!!

I got some pairs of Noppies from the online shop From Here to Maternity, because they were in the sale (£3.50 each rather than something daft like £8) and they're ok. Hard-wearing, but for some reason, the black L ones are almost too short (I'm 5'2"!) and the brown L ones are definitely too long. However, baggy ankles are the least of my worries, given I can't even see them!

I had mothercare maternity tights and they were wonderful for me - i have a very large bump too and they have plenty of room even now i'm 38 weeks. I am 5ft 10 as well and they were not too short like many tights can be!

Agree with yellowflowers. Have got M&S ones that fit nicely until you stand up. May be due to my short legs.

Try www.globalmaternity.com I'm sure they do some Boob Design black maternity tights in black. That's where I got mine. They also have Emma Jane and Noppies.

mine from next are very comfy

After wasting a lot of money on maternity tights that weren't comfy and sagged, i gave up and just bought hold up stockings.

I just wearing extra large non-maternity ones pulled up to just under my bra! Nice warm wooly ones.

Second the recommendation for big size non-maternity ones - if you wear them back to front they fit over your bump!
