Hiya, can anyone recommend the best place to get these? I know you can get them online from most shops but a lot of the reviews say they slip or roll down so are rubbish Hmm

I got great ones from M&S that lasted three pregnancies.

SlowSloth · 26/04/2018 12:23

Mine were from H&M, they were really comfy Smile

I bought a few pairs of Polish (I think) ones from ebay for about a fiver apiece, brilliant. No problems at all with staying up.

H&M

FusRoDah · 26/04/2018 13:31

Debenhams ones were pretty good

unicornchaser · 26/04/2018 15:23

Thanks will have a look at these ones! My normal tights are now just digging in and hurting me Sad

Boots! They last well and are usually on buy one, get one half price.

JenDill · 26/04/2018 17:06

Got some from new look so comfy too.

kitty1013 · 26/04/2018 17:22

My new look ones fall down all the time and are really uncomfortable. Maybe it's just because I don't have a big bump yet, I'm only 18+4. But normal tights are too small. I need to try a different make , I think!

unicornchaser · 26/04/2018 18:51

It was the new look ones I bet particularly bad reviews of them slipping down.

Think I'll check out m&s, h&m or Debenhams 
I'm only 13 +3 but I'm hating them digging into my belly but I may have a similar issue as you @kitty1013 if I've not got a big enough bump yet!

I’m 20 weeks and I’m in my normal tights but a few sizes up. They are made by a company called heist (buy them online) and are the best tights I’ve ever worn. No sagging, no digging. You can get high waisted ones that go over your bump. Highly recommend them but they are pricey.

BunnyTeapot · 26/04/2018 19:31

Matalan!

BlueBug45 · 26/04/2018 19:38

H&M

Coudn't find any in Debenhams and Boots the right denier.

To be fair even when not pregnant I'm particular on what tights I find comfortable, stay up and are long enough in the leg. I'm happy with normal tights from Boots, Debenhams and H&M but not M&S, so not surprised if all shops maternity tights follow that pattern.

MeadowHay · 26/04/2018 20:45

I've got Boots ones that I think are really comfy but I think they only had one thickness of black ones, can't remember what it is.

busybuildingdens · 26/04/2018 20:48

I found Matalan ones good, and so much cheaper than most places. They also (used to at least) do some funky designs.

surreygirl1987 · 26/04/2018 21:45

Do NOT get the ones from Mothercare! I bought size large at 16 weeks and they're too tight and painful! And I'm only a size 10-12!!

EeekPreggoAgain · 27/04/2018 14:00

All maternity tights are the devil. Get some hold ups - much less stressful!

LeighaJ · 27/04/2018 18:32

I really liked the ones I got from Mothercare

Cheeseandapple · 27/04/2018 18:47

Asos or boots but top tip is to tuck your tights under your bra! I was constantly waddling around because they were falling down and then had a brain wave and never had that problem again.Grin

Katievb · 27/04/2018 18:50

Next!!

summeryet · 27/04/2018 20:21

Blooming marvellous....! I'm currently 25 weeks and they've grown with me. :)

Sugamoma1 · 28/04/2018 08:01

I got mine off amazon and they were really comfy!

Elephantgrey · 28/04/2018 08:12

I got mine from Boots. They are really comfy.

unicornchaser · 28/04/2018 08:16

Thanks all, looks like it's a matter of personal preference with so many mixed recommendations! I will try a few of the suggestions and see which I get on best with. Or hope for a warm enough summer to go without (hahaha no chance in Scotland!) Hmm

I used to just get the same ones in a larger size. Then when bump was really big I just cut a little slit down the front of the waste to expand them a bit more!
