Which way round do you wear your H&M maternity tights?

Ok I have bought a couple of pairs of maternity tights from H&M and I wore them yesterday. One side just has a line up the middle like run of the mill tights and the other has 2 lines going spreading in a v shape...... I thought this must be the front as it must allow for bump expansion.... but i feel like I have my knickers on the wrong way round iykwim. So I am wondering whether i have got it wrong.

Maybe I am being an idiot.... which is quite likely Grin

two lines at the front, they sit either side of the bump :)

Mine are the same (not H&M) but designed the same way. I wear them with two lines at the front!

Thank you, maybe as i get bigger they will feel more comfortable or maybe they only work if you have a neat bump..... glamours of pregnancy eh!?

I found that maternity tights weren't comfortable if there was any twisting on the legs, but if I got then perfectly straight then they were ok, even when I was wearing them for work last week (at 38 weeks)

Mine fell down whatever way I wore them. Must have been a funny sight doing the pregnant with tights falling down shuffle!Grin

I've got the same HandM ones. Two lines up the front. They're great as bump gets massive.

Ha! I've been wearing mine with the 2 lines at the back :-) I thought it might be wrong but seemed more comfy......

It's meant to be two lines at the front, but I found some of my woolly mothercare ones kept falling down and so I turned them backwards- much better!

I found the H&M ones awful - they kept sliding down! M&S ones worked for me. They have a triangle shape at the front in a thinner fabric, much more comfortable :)

Maternity tights passed me by completely - I wore Primark ones a size or two up and hoiked over my bump!

BadIdeaBear · 12/03/2015 10:02

I got these too, and felt like asking the same question as they were so uncomfortable - they just feel wrong somehow, don't they?

I've been wearing non-mat tights up till 22 weeks, but they are doing me no favours at all now - feeling v squished so will have to find some better ones for the tail end of winter - maybe M&S it is.

Yep, definitely two lines on the front. I remember it feeling like I had my knickers on backwards too! If you got the ones in the cellophane packet there is a picture on the packet.
