Tights

Any recommendations for maternity tights? I've got a party at the weekend and the dress I have definitely needs tights. I'm not brave enough to have them out.

Suggestions please?

I bought one pair of maternity tights and they were rubbish, kept falling down and were rather expensive to boot! Since then I've stuck to normal tights in a larger than normal size. I usually go for Boots own, either medium support or ladder resistant.

I'm 33 weeks now and currently wearing a normal pair with no issues. Well, apart from the huge ladder on the left shin...Not the ladder resistant ones!

I found tights too uncomfortable when pregnant and went for hold ups instead. They were great and much more reliable than I expected.

Marks and Spencer's and Boots do fairly decent pairs

I found that ASOS ones the best & I tried a few different brands. H&M were probably the next best.

I've just got some from mothercare at 34 weeks now my bump has exploded but I think before then they definately would have just bagged/fallen down and driven me mad. I could get away with normal ones in a size up until then so you might be OK?
