Best maternity tights?

[chocolatemartini]

Boring, but I need tights! On an old thread I found the consensus was h&m for tights. But that was a few years ago. Who has tights they like and which stay up?

Emma Jane ones are good, I buy them from Asos which does in my opinion the best maternity clothes, but I'm sure they're available from lots of other places.

H&m!

I got some from mamas and papas and they are so comfy xx

Ok thanks ladies I've ordered some h&m ones after failing to find the asos/ Emma Jane ones on my phone. Will try them and if no good will get Emma Jane or mamas & papas. Can't seem to wear trousers this time round, dresses are so much more comfortable, so good tights are going to be a must.

I bought some h&m ones last week and wore them today, absolute nightmare! I am a size 10 and I'm 18 weeks pregnant. 5ft 5 so not very tall. Anyway, the 'bump' part of the tights didn't stretch past the top of my hip. I spent 4 hours constantly hitching them up before deciding they were just too irritating to wear :(

Gutted because I do need some good tights for winter..

I bought some maternity ones but in my experience primark ones in a size too big were fab- so nice and supportive and cosy! (Black thick tights)

Oh no vix that sounds grim! I'm at a stage where I don't want any pressure on my bump so I was hoping they'd go all the way over it... Have tried normal tights in a big size but need them to come up higher. I have some seraphine ones from my last pg which were comfy and fitted well but bobbled really badly. They look a bit of a state. Ah well, let's see what the h&m ones are like on me...

Which of those mentioned above would have a sculpting effect if any? I'm wearing a body con lace dress (from new look maternity) to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I want all lumps smoothed down!

These are brilliant shaping maternity tights. I've worn them to a couple of weddings this year. They smooth the unwanted lumps but are super stretchy on the belly.

spanx maternity tights

Thanks Bunnylion, will order those straight away!

I wore good old M&S maternity tights at the weekend. They were very comfortable, the top did role down slightly but not enough to worry about. I went for a medium size, I am currently 21 weeks with twins and usually a size 14 at 5ft 3.

Oh good point I have a wedding to go to next month too will try spanx for that

I've just got some ASOS own brand mat tights. Really impressed! They are £8. Soft, thick and lovely stretch around the bump. They have a grip around the top so that they don't slip down at all. I'm only 12 weeks but normal tights were getting really uncomfortable around my bloat

Yeah I'm only 13 weeks my bump is mostly chips and sandwiches, but I can't bear anything tight on it. ASOS sound like the way to go.
